Heidi and Spencer's Split: One Big Publicity Stunt?

By PopEater Staff Posted Jun 1st 2010 05:30PM

Get this for a story pitch: Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt split up after a year of marriage, but don't file any legal papers. The 'Hills' starlet moves to a beach house for the summer where she films a reality show with her newly minted BFF. During the course of taping this sure-to-be classic show, Pratt returns to the fold and by the time the finale rolls around, wins back Montag's heart and they return home to Los Angeles.

While many of you may be hoping Heidi really did ditch Spencer last week, sources inside and outside the family have a different take on the situation.

"It's really just another one of Spencer's publicity stunts," a friend close to the situation tells PopEater. "They really are still together. This will all be revealed in time. They aren't going to separate. It's all a part of Heidi's new show."

The currently untitled show will start production in July, RadarOnline.com reported. Montag's friend and co-star, Jennifer Bunney, said the program will "focus on our friendship, getting through things with each other like marriage stuff and boyfriend stuff."

Getting through the "marriage stuff" should make for great TV, especially when Pratt shows up to repair their relationship. [There are also reports that Pratt's production company is producing the show.]

But Montag's sister, Holly, isn't buying it. "If anyone has come to expect anything from those two is that they are the Liars," she wrote on Twitter over the weekend.

But staging a break-up to create the basis for a reality show? Since TMZ first reported about the split on May 28, Montag has been absolutely gleeful in messages on Twitter.

"This is going to be the best summer of my life!!!" she wrote hours after news of the split broke. She has since had "girls night sleep over" with Bunney and has been enjoying some "Girls only!!!!" time.

Montag was a bit more reserved in her first comments to the press since the split, telling PEOPLE she "needed some alone time." Adding: "There are so many lies out there about me and I just needed space -- even away from my husband."

Pratt on the other hand has not uttered a word on Twitter since May 25, when he re-tweeted his wife's audition video for 'Transformers 3.'

"It seems there's no limits to what they will do for publicity," our source said.

The pair made a name for themselves as the frenemies of 'Hills' star Lauren Conrad. Their relationship and eventual marriage was chronicled on the hit MTV series. Montag and Pratt exchanged vows in April of 2009, in front of 200 guests and an MTV camera crew.

Those 2 are such losers, drop off the earth, please. She could never leave him, what would she do with herself. He probably goes to where she is staying for something something every night. Her new show will bomb.

Stop reporting on these people . What a waste of money.

Oh, like this is a big surprise?

By MOMwithAbrain

She's a freak-a-zoid. She destroyed herself by first hooking up with that pig Spencer then by all of that phony plastic surgery. Now she looks like a total freak. I can't believe she actually thinks that plastic surgery looks good. That shows how much they are in denial...
These people need to go away. Their self worship is getting old

By Jennaaay

What a bunch of idiots! Are we even sure that they're legally married?

By Matthew

I'm so tried of Heidi & Spencer.I don't understand why Heidi would get involved w/a guy who would turn her against her family & friends.The GUY is crazy.I think that they have to be on crack or something.Why did she get all that work done? I cried w/her mother b/c she was a very beautiful girl it never seemed as if she wasn't happy about the way she looked from the other shows.Spencer has her brain washed.I'm glad this is the last season I can't take anymore.HEIDI I'm sorry to say that your new show will not go as well as THE HILLS.

I have to agree with Heidi about something (yeah, I know, go figure)--there are a lot of lies being told about her (and Spencer). You know, like the one on the cover of "Life & Style" magazine saying she's being "forced to have more plastic surgery." Here I thought Spencer was going to kill her if she didn't get another boob job, but no...sadly, no one's holding a gun to her head--she's just insecure. Which is too bad...she was much prettier before she became a plastic bimbo.
But seriously...why is this news?

I wish that the "press" would stop publishing news about these two phoneys. Maybe they would then go away, and if not, no one would know what they were doing in any case.

Tori Spelling's twin!

My first question when I saw this article was "Heidi and Spencer who?" After reading the article it became "Who are Hiedi Montag (apparently she's the blond with soccer balls where her breasts used to be) and Spencer Pratt?" My final question is "Why does anybody care?"

By bstill

Yeah well Spencer doesn't know it but she's taking a break from him to give him a little surprise. She's gonna add a couple of balls down under and a pole for him to dance on! OOH LA LA

By shanice

Hey here's an idea! Maybe if we stop talking about them they would go away! Every gossip blog and tv show should try it, it might just work! =)

We really have MTV to thank for introducing us to so many morons that are now a part of our lives. Please boycott this moronic channel and spot watching their crap.
