LiLo, Sam Back to 'Complicated'

Once reality royalty, now they're forced to eat 'tacos and burritos'

(NEWSER) - The famewhoring and ridiculous antics of Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag finally backfired, leaving them broke and forced to live rent-free at Spencer's parents' house. (Although, it is a Santa Barbara beach house, so don't feel too sorry for them.) They explain to the Daily Beast how it all went wrong:

• They thought that living a fake life in front of the cameras (for example: Through it all, they never actually broke up ) would pay off for them in the long run, but it turns out "you can be too famous," Spencer says. "Reality TV is not a career." His antics for the camera made him so widely detested he can't find a job, and is considering going back to school. Heidi has been appearing on a reality competition show.
• Spencer says they never truly had any money, because they spent it as quickly as they got it. A whopping $2 million went toward hiring writers, producers, and engineers for Heidi's failed music endeavor .
• "I probably spent a million dollars on suits and fancy clothes,” Spencer says. “My whole million-dollar wardrobe—I would never wear that again. They’re props. Everything we were doing, we were buying props."

Sadly, they let him go

(NEWSER) - Spencer Pratt was arrested in Costa Rica yesterday, but don’t get too excited: Everyone’s favorite cyber crime-fighter , wannabe music impresario , and of course, self-proclaimed famous person has already been released. Pratt broke the news of his own arrest to TMZ , which then confirmed he was busted for felony possession of a firearm while in an airport on his way back to the States. More»

Ex Samantha Ronson visits troubled starlet in jail

(NEWSER) - If the UK tabs are to be believed, Lindsay Lohan is under 24-hour watch in jail because officials are concerned about scratches on her arms. “They are suitably worried by the marks to confiscate her prison-issue toiletries,” a source tells the Mirror . More from the world of Lohan:

• If nothing else, Lohan’s jail term appears to be bringing her and ex-galpal Samantha Ronson together. Ronson visited for about an hour yesterday, but her only comment to reporters who asked how Lohan is doing was, “How do you think she’s doing?” People reports. Ronson later tweeted, “Song Of The Day: Rolling Stones—Waiting on A Friend.”

For some reason, magazines still chatting with Pratt

(NEWSER) - Spencer Pratt, really a parody of himself at this point, confesses that he chose “fame” (infamy?) over wife Heidi Montag. “We love each other but I'm a famewhore and I'll never grow out of it,” Pratt tells People , adding that Heidi “doesn't want that.” Despite his admitted famewhorishness, Pratt insists their impending divorce is not a publicity stunt. Heidi “doesn’t want to be Speidi anymore. She wants to be Heidi Montag: the sex symbol.” (A goal that clearly has nothing to do with fame.) More»

Hey, at least no one's throwing drinks

(NEWSER) - The bad news: Lindsay Lohan is going to jail. The good news: Her pined-after ex, Samantha Ronson, is back on her side. Ronson recently defended Lohan against a stream of hilarious—er, mean— tweets from Joan Rivers. Samples: “Lindsay Lohan said she wouldn't mind being under oath because she thought Oath was a Norwegian ski instructor” and “I was just reading about the new Lindsay Lohan diet, which is all liquid. 80 Proof.” More»
