As Fake As It Gets

Well, who’d have thunk it??
Star reports on the story behind Heid Montag and Spencer (The Complete) Pratt’s magazine deal.
“Which weekly glossy just signed a megamillion-dollar contract with a certain annoying celebrity couple?” The New York Daily News asked in its April 20 gossip column. “The deal is, the magazine will get exclusive interviews with the couple, but in turn, they need to break up (again), get back together (again) and actually get married.”
“Indeed, reports surfaced last September that Spencer and Heidi  who got engaged in May 2007  were about to announce they’d ended their relationship and would then sell their separate stories to the media, before getting paid for exclusive photos of a staged “reunion” getaway to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. And although a rep for The Hills  which has a reputation for being completely scripted  denied it at the time, incredibly, it played out exactly that way for the couple!”
Their friends had this to say:
“As friends, we laugh to ourselves whenever we see ’serious’ coverage of the ups and downs of Heidi and Spencer’s relationship,” says their pal. “It’s astounding anyone could still believe any of it is spontaneous.”“
Some reality. Who would ever have thought that a control freak like Spencer would arrange for something like this…
