The hosts of radio show “Jojo, Reagan and the Mix Morning Show,” are asking Spencer Pratt to put his money where his mouth is and pay them the $1,000 he bet them Friday morning, reports TMZ. Pratt claimed his wife, Heidi Montag’s performance on the Miss Universe pageant was the most-watched television event in the history of time and space.

While one billion people tuned in to the pageant Aug. 23, Princess Diana’s funeral had 2.5 billion viewers. The radio hosts are waiting for their cheque.

Rant ‘N Rave: Spencer Pratt

Irene Ogrodnik — Thu, 14 May 2009 15:40:41 +0000

Spencer Pratt is one of those boys who, even at the age of 25, will always be a boy.

He’s the villain from the fake-reality TV show ‘The Hills.’ And while most people beyond Lauren Conrad cannot stand sitting in the same room as him, he does work hard at being the privileged son of a successful dentist.

Some us know it takes a lot to be obnoxious, spoiled and damn right irritating.

And while I resisted ranting about Spencer for several months now, his most recent “headline” was simply the last straw (number 1 on the list below). In other words, with a move like that, Spencer is begging for some word bashing.

But why do most people really express a deep hatred or dislike toward Spencer? While there are countless of reasons, I struggled to narrow it down.

But here’s five anyway:

5) He’s an idol. To himself:

According to reports, Spencer loves to keep a display of all the magazine covers that he has embraced over the years. Hmm, I never knew there were magazines dedicated to douchebags.

4) He’s married to Heidi Montag. No other woman will need to suffer:

I actually pity Heidi for marrying this man. Not only does he control her, but his bad vibe is really rubbing off on her as well. While this lady may have had a chance at a successful career (most likely as a XXX rated porn star), her future will now likely resemble Britney’s life a couple years ago. You know, the baldhead, the urge to attack cars with an umbrella and, oh yeah, filing for divorce from the man she shouldn’t have married in the first place.

3) He worships the paparazzi more than they adore him:

While most celebrities run away from paparazzi, Spencer practically chases them down. He then proceeds to pose for staged photos with Heidi (*hurl*), as though these two were really in love with one another and not the idea of themselves as a couple. Since these two are such fame-whores, marriage seemed like the next step to staying in the headlines.

Pathetic, I know. Even if it worked.

2) He challenged Ashton Kutcher thinking he would win. No, this is not the joke of the day:

It makes me a tad bit amused to know that Spencer actually thinks he will receive more Twitter followers than Ashton Kutcher. There’s no need to argue why this won’t happen because let’s look at it this way. As of today, Spencer has 252,836 Twitter followers while Ashton has 1,729,039. Ah, you really had something going there Spencer. But what’s next? Challenging Eminem to see if he can sell more records than you?

Good luck buddy.

1) His rap career:

To use the words “career” and “Spencer” in the same sentence is somewhat of an oxymoron. It’s like saying “Amy Winehouse is sober” or “Lindsay Lohan looks healthy.”

See, it just doesn’t make sense. But apparently, it’s possible.

Spencer’s new rap single “I’m a Celebrity” is almost as good as Kevin Federline’s ‘Play With Fire’ album.

I said almost.

With lyrics like “Baby I get paid…I’ve been around the world, but I’m still not finished yet…first Tweet of the day, I put my swag on…I’m in the limelight and I love it like my wife,” I only wonder how long it will be before someone shoots Spencer for offending hip-hop in such a manner.

But if Spencer is worried about album sales, he shouldn’t. We all know Heidi will likely (once again) pull a Britney and buy all the 1,200 copies that Spencer’s album will most likely sell.

Hey, maybe that is real love.

Rant ‘N Rave: Best/Worst of April

Irene Ogrodnik — Sun, 03 May 2009 22:00:20 +0000

Music artists and movie stars never fail to entertain me (however, I do get easily amused). Whether I laugh with them (or, in most cases, at them) or actually pity their heartaches and failures (which doesn’t happen often)—I always look forward to the next celebrity hook-up/screw-up.

And the month of April did not disappoint. Here are the five best and worst moments in pop culture that made me grateful that such somewhat petty life moments in my life aren’t publicized for the world:

BEST:

5) Pink Reunites with H(e)art:

One can’t help but assume the following:

a) Pink’s estranged husband Carey Hart decided to give his relationship another try after watching the boyfriend/husband torturing, knee-breaking video his wife created for her single ‘Please Don’t Leave Me.’

b) Pink and Carey realized that they are meant to be with one another, at least for another year.

Either way, I’m happy.

4) LC leaves The Hills:

I’ll admit. I really cannot watch an entire episode of this series without feeling like I lost some brain cells. However, Lauren Conrad was the show’s only salvation. She’s the least annoying and somehow the most genuine–which is why she needs to move onto better things. The only real downfall? More airtime for douche Spencer Pratt.

3) Ronson and Lohan Breakup, Again…Again:

I strongly believe that Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson find great amusement in their relationship. From their constant bickering, PDA and breakups, these two don’t know when to stop. Lindsay should consider adding “relationship therapy” along to her list of “Things I Need To Attend Rehab For.”

2) Ooh ooh baby—Wolverine prequel finally hits theatres:

Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Kitsch = Yummy. Need I say more? I think not.

1) Susan Boyle Proves Simon Wrong. Let’s rejoice:

Overnight singing sensation Susan Boyle made us realize that a lack of conventional physical beauty and youth doesn’t always amount to failure. While Simon Cowell saw money signs in his eyes during her performance, the rest of the world was just pleased Boyle didn’t sound like Beyonce’s altered live recording on the ‘Today’ show.

WORST:

5) Mel Gibson’s New Leading Lady Drama:

I can’t quite understand why everyone is making a big deal out of this relationship. If Gibson and his wife were indeed separated for a few years prior to any of them having a relationship with other people, then kudos to Gibson for hooking up.

Besides, I’m sure Oksana (whose name gets butchered by television and radio media) just wants him for his money. Which, unfortunately for her, might not be as much as she thinks after Gibson settles his divorce with his wife Robyn.

4) Britney’s “stay away from me” order:

Dear Ms. Spears is not meant to live a life void of relationship drama. While a judge issued a restraining order against Spears’s former manager, Sam Lutfi, for another three years, I’m positive that it’s not the end for them two. If Britney ever falls back to her old, unstable ways…Lutfi will be the first person she’ll call (along with a hairdresser).

You’ll see.

3) Beyonce’s horrific altered voice recording:

After Howard Stern aired an alleged recording of Beyonce screeching through a rendition of “If I Were a Boy,” many assumed that the Grammy winning star either hid behind pre-recorded tracks or suddenly went tone-deaf.

TMZ, however, came to the rescue by reporting that they spoke to the individual responsible for altering the recording. Phew. For a moment there, I assumed Beyonce was suddenly taking vocal pointers from Britney.

2) Miss California Same-Sex scandal:

By now, we have all heard of the “scandalous” moment involving Miss California and Perez Hilton. While I will refuse to comment on the situation, I do send out my sympathies out to Miss North Carolina. Even though she won the Miss USA crown, she has barely received the same news coverage as her runner-up competitor.

1) Heidi and Spencer get married (officially)…doomed for life:

It’s not hard to see why I think that any girl is too good for Spencer Pratt. Heck, I wouldn’t even wish such a man upon Lohan. This idiot is the epitome of an arrogant jerk bag. I may not be Montag’s biggest fan either, but even I don’t think she should spend the rest of her life with someone like Spencer.

If, by some miracle, Spencer grew up and humbled down, I might just reconsider my awful view of him. As for now, I already pity the children they don’t have.

What were you thinking Heidi?

Spencer And Heidi Tie The Knot

Joelle Tomlinson — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 22:10:00 +0000

Spencer Pratt made Heidi Montag his bride in Pasadena, California, on Saturday.

The Hills just recently started up again, and followers privy to the private lives of L.A.’s elite can attest to the on-air issues that Spencer and Heidi have toiled through. The now-happy couple, who previously eloped in Mexico and decided to postpone their courthouse wedding for a big reception, finally tied the knot, an MTV spokesperson confirmed to MTV News.

“MTV wishes Heidi and Spencer the best,” the statement reads, “and can’t wait to share their wedding with ‘The Hills’ fans later this season.”

Here’s an even bigger shock- according to perezhilton.com, Spencer’s sworn enemy Lauren Conrad attended the ceremony. The site stated that Spencer issued an apology to L.C. to get her to show up at the wedding, and she fell for it.

Laguna Beach alum Kristin Cavallari also was a guest at the nuptials. Sources reveal that Cavallari will be joining the cast of The Hills for at least six episodes next season, possibly more.

Celebrities Take To Twitter To Tackle Same-Sex Marriage Debate

Ilan Mester — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 14:27:10 +0000

Sunday night’s Miss USA competition has everyone talking, including celebrities like Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus.

During the beauty pageant, blogger Perez Hilton asked Miss California (Carrie Prejean) if more states should legalize same-sex marriage, to which she responded that marriage “should be between a man and a woman.”

Many celebrities are reacting to Prejean’s statement and have taken to Twitter to state their opinions. “Love is Love! People should be able to do whatever makes them happy!” read a Tweet by Britney Spears to Perez Hilton.

“Hannah Montana” star Miley Cyrus also responded to a Tweet from Hilton telling him, “Jesus loves you and your partner and wants you to know how much he cares! That’s like a daddy not loving his lil boy cuz he’s gay and that is wrong and very sad! Like I said everyone deserves to be happy.”

“The Hills’ ” Heidi Montag seems to agree with Cyrus. “God says in the bible that we should love our neighbor and he created us all as equals,” read a Tweet from Montag. “I know in my heart that gays and lesbians should have the same government rights that Spencer and I will when we get married”.

Spencer Pratt Raps

Jennifer Brooks — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 07:00:56 +0000

Aside from being a reality television star and filming the upcoming season of “The Hills,” which is rumored to be the final season of the popular series, Heidi Montag is busy in the studio planning and working on her next career move.

Montag is working on her new untitled album and tells sources that it is something she has wanted to do since childhood, mtvnews.com reports.

“I just pretty much live and breathe in the studio,” she told MTV News about her upcoming LP, which she hopes to have out by the end of summer. “I’ve never had an album. This is my first album. I’ve wanted to do music since I could talk. I used to do plays and singing and voice lessons and practice Britney routines when I was, like, 12. This is the biggest dream of my life.”

Heidi explained that her album has a dance vibe and features songs about her relationship with Spencer Pratt. Besides singing about him, Montag told MTV News that she would actually like to get Pratt to expose his musical talent on her album.

“Spencer Pratt is amazing,” she told mtvnews.com. “I’d love to get him on my album. He sings, he raps — he does everything.”

The Hills Recap: ‘And then YOU’LL be my Mom!’

andPOP Staff — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 19:28:49 +0000

The Season 4 Finale wraps up with a Lauren Conrad-Heidi Montag… hug. Lauren Conrad and Lo Bosworth attend a major party hosted by Bolthouse. Heidi Montag is also there along with Holly Montag and Stephanie Pratt. There are WAY too many blondes in this episode. Some may argue there are never enough blondes, but as a brunette, I disagree. Heidi gets the courage to speak alone with LC. To break the ice, she asks her, “Have you been working out?” The talk then turns serious with Heidi admitting, “the only thing really missing in my life is you.” LC’s words to live by: “It is what it is, it’s not always fair.” The two reminisce and Heidi exclaims that she doesn’t feel like she’s getting older. Well she isn’t- hello, plastic surgery! They do exchange a hug at the end and finally, the world is at peace.

However, Heidi’s life still has enough drama. Everyone is shocked over her marriage. At work, Brent Bolthouse asks her about her vacation. Her answer: “I was in Mexico and kinda decided to get married.” Brent doesn’t believe it, “Shut Up.” She isn’t at all insulted: “We were down there and we had a couple Margaritas and there was a chapel there…it was the craziest thing I’ve ever done.” Okay Britney. Still, no one is more shocked than Heidi’s mom, Darlene Montag, who flies into LA demanding an explanation. When asked to explain how the wedding happened, Heidi announces that a couple margaritas + a beautiful sunset= a wedding. Spencer Pratt sits there the whole time, looking like Chewbacca with all his facial hair. He actually seems sad when Mrs. Montag speaks but who knows what Spencer is thinking. To make the marriage legal, they must have a ceremony in the U.S. The Speidies are opting for a City Hall event whereas Mrs. Montag wants Heidi to have her dream wedding. The next day, Mrs. Montag comes by and has a chat with Spencer. She tells him the wedding is “too fast, it’s too much.” Spencer doesn’t see anything wrong with that, telling her that once the City Hall ceremony is completed, “you’ll be my mom.” No wonder she’s freaking out. Later on, Spencer and Heidi meet at City Hall with Stephanie Pratt as their witness. Spencer is oh-so-romantic, “Come on, let’s just do this.” They listen to the judge’s words, Heidi already says “I do” and only then does Spencer finally have a change of heart. Well he finally shows he has a heart. The Tinman Pratt asks Heidi if she is sure that this is the wedding she wants, not a big one and with her family mad at her. Heidi breaks down in tears and Spencer agrees to give her the wedding of her dreams. Newsflash, the dude does have a soul.

If there’s hope for Spencer, there must be hope for Justin Bobby. Audrina Patridge and Justin Bobby go on a romantic getaway to Palm Springs. Justin Bobby is wearing overalls and looks alarmingly like Luigi. Would that make Audrina Mario? The guy gets creepier by the second, telling Audrina he wants to stay there forever. Basically, he wants to lock her away. “You’re a rare one,” Justin Bobby tells her. “You’re very rare,” she says right back to him. I can’t tell if they’re complimenting or insulting one another. Their romantic vacation ends on a high note when Justin Bobby uses his teeth to take off a ring on one of his fingers in order to give it to Audrina. We can’t tell if he’s proposing or just thanking her for still speaking to him. But who knows, maybe Spencer is rubbing off on him! I can’t wait for the next season but for now we’ll just have to make do with The City!

The Hills Recap – Whit and The City

andPOP Staff — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 11:50:34 +0000

Whitney Port just became the most exciting character of The Hills- okay well almost. Kelly Cutrone recommends Whitney for a PR job with Diane Von Furstenberg. Who knew Kelly could be nice? This job would involve Whitney moving to New York City. Whitney is extra excited considering her bf Jay lives there. Lauren Conrad says it right, “Dream Boy, Dream Job.” LC says she’s happy for her but you can tell she’s not THAT happy for her. When she arrives in NY, Whitney is dressed up with mega high heels. It looks like she fits in since everyone there are tall and beautiful and wearing mega high heels. This time, Whitney did not trip. Alixe Boyer, the VP Global Image Director interviews Whitney. Whitney says it has always been her dream to work with a designer. She explains she is ready to change her life. Alixe looks happy to hear that. If only she knew what’s on Whitney’s mind…Mr. Jay. When she exits the interview, Jay is waiting for her in ripped jeans and a shirt tied around his waist. I never realized that Whitney and Audrina have similar taste in guys. They see each other for 3 seconds and he tells her, “Call me when you get back to LA.” He actually cares! A boy with a cute accent who actually calls, Whitney’s got it made.

It seems everyone is moving these days. Lauren Conrad visits Audrina Patridge at her ‘bachelorette pad.” She gets a tour of Audrina’s place and it looks like the two are officially at peace. However, LC is not at peace with her parents moving to a different house in Laguna Beach. Lo Bosworth comes with Lauren to help pack some of her old stuff. Lauren’s parents, Jim and Kathy Conrad, actually look normal. They’re moving to a smaller house since all their children have left the nest or will fly away soon like LC’s younger brother Brandon. He’s the only Conrad child without his own MTV show (LC’s little sis Breanna was featured in Laguna Beach Season 3). LC reminisces with Lo about all the fun times in the house, such as her’s and Stephen Colletti’s first kiss. Lo tries to cheer her up, “you have to make memories”

Stephanie Pratt is trying to erase her memories and make new ones. She explains to Spencer Pratt that she and Cameron keep breaking up, for reasons such as Cameron being mad about always driving to her place but her never driving to his. Oh yeah… huge problems. She explains, “we’re gonna try things out again, start over.” Spencer doesn’t believe in second chances. Hello?! Didn’t he get about 5000 chances with Heidi Montag? Spencer’s general recommendation is “go be a nun, join a nun’s thing.” Shouldn’t she know better than asking brother dearest? Spencer tells her she can do better than Cameron. I beg to differ. Later that week, Stephanie brings Cameron to Falcon Restaurant and Lounge where she is meeting up with the Speidies. Spencer is his usual self at dinner, making jabs at Cameron whenever he has the chance. Of course, Spencer manipulates Stephanie’s mind like he does with everyone else in his life and she decides to end it with Cameron. Cameron comes over to her place and she cries to him that “This is the happiest relationship I’ve ever been in…but I deserve better than this.” I’m all for girl power but I’m not sure if Steph can find better, she’s like a train wreck waiting to happen.

The Hills Recap: Nana Knows Best

andPOP Staff — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:07:57 +0000

Audrina Drama Queen Patridge finally understands she’s ruined a friendship over a dumb rumor. She wants to make peace with Lauren Conrad, but Justin Bobby is another story. “He’s very good at manipulating,” Audrina admits to Casey. It took her this long to notice; has she been living under a rock? Brody Jenner comes over to use LC’s pool and talk about the situation: “Why you bangin Justin Bobby?” Ugh -I’d rather not see ‘JB’ and ‘bangin’ in the same sentence. Brody tells Lauren to leave Audrina since “people like that …are constant drama.” I guess Brody doesn’t realize he’s caused enough drama himself. He gives his opinion on humanity: when people change “some change for the good and some for the bad.” Lauren realizes Brody isn’t the best person to get advice from and talks with Lo Bosworth and later with Whitney Port. Both agree Audrina is in the wrong but Lauren should at least hear what she has to say. LC does just that. She and Audrina meet up and Audrina FINALLY apologizes. Lauren explains herself, “Some crazy person told you a crazy story.” Audrina admits she feels like an idiot for not trusting LC and Justin. Lauren can’t believe that Audrina would put her in the same category as Justin. He’s giving her so many reasons not to trust him but LC hasn’t. Lauren explains that it’s about trusting the right people. A dude named Dino doesn’t count. Audrina hates being the bad guy and tries to win some sympathy points. She admits she hasn’t been happy in awhile: “I don’t know who I am anymore.” Tears gushing, she announces: “I’ve learned to become my own best friend.” Maybe now that Audrina has Lauren back, she doesn’t have to be a loner.

Spencer Pratt is trying to make Stephanie Pratt a loner by stealing their Nana away from her. Heidi Montag encourages him to invite Stephanie to come visit Nana with them. While this is a nice gesture, Spencer cannot let a situation be without being a douchbag. This time, he does everything he can to make Stephanie feel guilty for not seeing their Nana often. He comes off as the favourite and makes Stephanie look like a bitch. He tells Nana that Stephanie befriended his enemy. Nana advises them that family and siblings are most important, “you can trust him and you can rely on him.” Oh Nana, if you only knew. The next day, Stephanie and Nana go for a walk in Santa Monica Beach. Stephanie admits that she feels excluded but doesn’t want to fight with Spencer for Nana’s attention. She hints that Spencer is not as great as he seems but Nana admits she doesn’t want to know everything.
Nana: “Life is sometimes a bucket of worms and you don’t know what to do about them.”
Stephanie: “That’s how I feel about Spencer.”
Does this mean she doesn’t know what to do about Spencer or he’s like a bucket of worms? Probably both, the dude is slimy.
