From the “I wanna be a celebrity, dammit!” files: > **[Heidi Montag Calls It Quits with Spencer Pratt](https://www.tmz.com/2010/05/28/heidi-spencer-pratt-divorce-separated/)** > > Heidi Montag has separated from husband Spencer Pratt, TMZ has learned. Who?? Even together they couldn’t manage to make a room temperature IQ. Ok, back to life…carry on. ---

I’m not ashamed that I’ve heard of this guy. It’s because I watch _The Dish_ and _The Soup_ – clip shows that make fun of celebrities, especially reality show celebrities. I feel sorry for the people who have to watch those shows and glean the clips. Anybody know how that works? Do they have staff who watch hours of crap TV, or do they use clips put up on YouTube or wherever? ---

I know about these people because the Fug Girls find them hilarious and mention them regularly. I haven’t read gofugyourself much as of late and I don’t know what they’ve been up to recently, but before they got married they embarrassed themselves with lots of pictures intended to prove their ~eternal love~ that the Fug Girls mocked endlessly. ---

I really thought those two kids would make it! No, not really. Can we stop hearing about them now? Will people please stop giving them “reality” shows. ---

It says she wants to focus on her acting career. ---

She reminds me of Michael Jackson, in the sense that she was normal looking(even moderately attractive), but then chopped up her face in plastic surgery for no reason and now looks weird. I only know of these two from the Soup as well. I just want that on the record. ---

Is this couple the same empty-headed twits I saw about a year ago on some talk show, going on about how they were the biggest celebrities in the world, while she kept spraying herself with her own ‘special hairspray’ through the entire interview? ---

Hee, yeah. They’re both ridiculous, the couple you love to hate. The only thing about them that fascinates me is trying to figure out how much of it is real, and how much is totally make up for the press. ---

> [@lezlers](#): > > Hee, yeah. They’re both ridiculous, the couple you love to hate. The only thing about them that fascinates me is trying to figure out how much of it is real, and how much is totally make up for the press. I think a lot of it is made up, but I also think Spencer is as psychotic and abusive as he seems to be. It’s like watching a slow-motion train wreck. He carries that big-ass crystal everywhere to get rid of bad vibes. How does he not realize the bad vibes are coming from him? ---

In that picture in the link…his shirt is buttoned all wrong! And she’s eating ice cream…and he’s LETTING her? I thought he was a control freak who wouldn’t let her eat in case she gained weight ---

Yay for \*The Soup \*and _The Dish_! (Also _InfoMania_.) All their clips made Pratt out to be off the edge insane this year. Heidi had to leave him if he is within 5% of that person. ---

My first exposure to this “power couple” was on that jungle celebrity thing. I am continually amazed that people that stupid remember to breathe. ---

I loved when Al Roker humiliated them when he was interviewing them after their stint in the jungle. Another clip run endlessly on “The Soup”…
