Heidi Is the Next MJ: Spencer

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."

After waking up from her last round of robotic—er, surgical—enhancements, she was so angry that her breasts weren’t bigger, “she wanted to punch the doctor in the face,” stalwart hubby Spencer Pratt tells Life & Style.

Pratt, Montag trying to get in touch with spirituality

(NEWSER) - If you never want to hear the names Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt again, you’re in luck. The reality show couple will now be known by their “true Native American names,” “the name our creator has given us,” so as to get “more in tune with our spirituality,” says Spencer—aka Running Bear. Heidi is now White Wolf. What happened to Spencer’s last alter ego, King Spencer ? It was “too much of a burden to have to carry the weight of royalty,” a rep tells TMZ . More»

Pratt is leaving the Hills for a while, but not for noble reasons

(NEWSER) - Poor Spencer Pratt just is not having a good week. First, the reality star’s wife fired him as her manager and replaced him with a psychic .
