Gossip: Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt
The fame-hungry couple is broke.
Former reality-television stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are broke, said TheDailyBeast.com. The fame-hungry couple, who starred on MTV’s The Hills, said this week that they’re living at Pratt’s parents’ home after having spent more than $2 million on Montag’s multiple plastic surgeries and failed music career. “Reality TV isn’t a career,” said a penitent and penniless Pratt. “Anyone who says, ‘Oh, you can have a career in reality’—that is a lie.”
