Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt Are Getting Paid

Who says this nation is undergoing an economic slowdown? Certainly not The Hills' Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, who have raked in $3 million in the past two years for basically doing nothing except posing for pictures, according to In Touch Weekly.

The endlessly self-promotional couple has reaped a windfall via their TV salaries, club appearances, photo shoots and business deals, the magazine reports.

But $3 million is just the beginning, if these two go-getters have any say in it.

"I plan to win an Oscar," gushes Montag, who's yet to even come close to appearing in a movie. "I’m very ambitious."

Spencer, meanwhile, is harboring ambitions to become the Colonel Tom Parker of the reality-TV generation by mentoring Montag's singing career. "My hustle is just too crazy," Pratt offers in a typical moment of humility. "I'm trying to take over the world!"

Hmmm, historically when someone makes world domination their goal, a world war ensues. Which actually might be preferable to hearing any more of Montag's bikini-clad caterwauling.

Quotables /

“The unnaturally blond duo have made a career out of being human pi�atas for bloggers and readers alike. Believe it or not, they've actually made quite a killing off their freak show. "In Touch Weekly" is reporting that the on-again, off-again couple brought in $3 million over the last two years from...whatever it is they do. Heidi tries to explain, "We are trying to entertain in every aspect of our lives."

Lovely. Infecting our lives with entertainment. Heidi is looking to branch out from her reality television into acting. "I plan to win an Oscar," she tells the mag. Clearly, she's got to be referring to winning one from an auction on eBay because there's not other way she'd be given one of those things.”

Socialite Life

“Now that they've got the ball rolling on their future together, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are trying their hand at the whole mommy/daddy thing.

Parenting experiment number one? A trip to Disneyland with Spencer's two little nieces yesterday.

Check out Heidi, Spencer, Ava and Hayley posing in Disney hats, pulling Arthur's sword from the stone, eating cotton candy, high-fiving each other and getting cozy with Snow White.

Wow, I didn't know it was possible to wear that many hats in one day. Did they buy out the whole Disney collection?

Spencer and Heidi look like they're having almost as much fun as Ava. And with their matching grins, pastel shirts and blond hair, this foursome almost look like like a happy little family.”

I'll be more than happy to support either of them the moment they decide to do anything significant or worthy of the attention they've been receiving. As it is i haven't seen one shred of talent from them, in any area, so i suppose i'll stick to comfortably ignoring their existance and changing the channel whenever they come up.

Wost part is, you're right. Their entire career is based on attracting the attention of the general public through the media. Wether we're cheering them on or trashing them, as long as people are paying attention they're gonna keep cashing in on it.
