MTV Remote Control Blog › Speidi

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag seem to have turned over a new leaf since they last appeared on "The Hills." The formerly combustible duo made a habit of leaving sore and sobbing victims (and one particularly unlucky weatherman) in their wake, and squeezing an apology out of either was generally unheard of. But we saw a glimpse of amends-making in Speidi last week when both reached out to Lauren Conrad via Twitter to wish her a happy birthday--Spencer even apologized to LC for his past crimes.

Since the married couple are becoming more and more benevolent--or so it seems--we decided to string together a list of those who were previously wronged by them, and some ways in which they can try to make things right. From a bartender scorned to a family member abandoned, here are those still in need of Speidi's mea culpas.

Stacie The Bartender: The bride-to-be drew the ire of Mrs. Pratt when she got chummy with Spencer during a shift at The Dime. Heidi, who refused to believe her husband was at all responsible for the back-and-forth flirting, referred to the shot-pourer as "rude," "a homewrecker" and "a slut." We suggest a round of drinks on Heids as a means to kiss and make up, as well as the most extravagant melon-baller a bridal registry could call for.

JWOWW at a Halloween party, without her pimp gun.

If you weren't already intimidated by the girl who introduced herself to the masses by describing her affinity for ripping guys heads off after she has sex with them--ya know, like a praying mantis--then perhaps this little bit of JWOWW juice might do the trick. The "Jersey Shore" siren and her hunky beau Roger (who, as far we know, has not fallen victim to her insect kill) have been sparking up their romance at the gun range. How Speidi of them!

According to TMZ.com, Jenni and her man went to Brick Armory indoor shooting range in New Jersey on Monday. There, the tough yet motherly castie fired off several rounds from a .40 caliber Glock, which sounds like a horrendously terrifying piece of weaponry. We're not entirely sure why she's ramping up her self-defense, but maybe it has something to do with her recent run-in with security at Fargo airport in North Dakota?

+ What do you think about JWOWW's new hobby? Are chicks with guns hot, or is this type of date way too violent? Fire at will in the comments!

Another year, another giant list of shtuff that made it worth our while not to call in sick...

1. First and foremost, we're thankful for the basics: food, water, shelter, fist-pimps, push-ups and ChapStick.

And, that...

2. The return of "Beavis and Butt-Head" has made it acceptable to repeatedly mumble out loud, "This sucks."

3. The teen birth rate is down 9 percent. Maybe someday MTV won't have to air shows like "Teen Mom" to point out how much of a struggle it is for young people to parent.

4. Snooki's skin hue has become a matter of national importance, meaning this blog is thriving.

5. Speidi have gone on the DL. Now let's work on those Kardashians...

6. Life-size stuffed animals have made a comeback.

7. Many of MTV's male cast members and characters decided it was rarely necessary to wear shirts.

Twelve. That's the number of posts we dedicated to covering Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag's so-called divorce back in the summer of 2010. Multiply that number by 200 words, which is the average length of a Remote Control story, and that's 2,400 words wasted on the couple's hoax.

Sure, at the time of their announcement, we all had an inkling that Speidi were just making a (rather successful) play for some big publicity, but the former "Hills" schemers are finally confirming their shameful deception to the world. Spencer told the Daily Beast, "At that stage, our income would be selling the photo that would go along with the divorce."

If this were a few years ago, before the economic downturn hit and writers were making up to 2 dollars a word, our blogger brethren out there could have potentially banked $4,800 on this whole damn scam, so no hard feelings, guys. Too bad you didn't put your heads together a lot sooner.

1. The omnipresent Speidi! Spencer and Heidi Pratt may be down and out, but they never cease to provide us with fantastic blogging material. And really bizarre home videos.

2. Angelina Pivarnick's single, "I'm Hot." We currently have it playing on repeat--it brings back fond memories of the "Top That" rap from "Teen Witch."

3. "Jersey Shore" fashion. Despite the cast's recent style transformations, the ladies have yet to tire of wearing skintight dresses, multiple coats of bronzer and eye-popping cleave; and the guys are still sporting layers upon layers of gold crosses and rosary beads. Here's to staying true to yourself, all youse sexy bitches!

4. Uncle Nino.

5. Teen mom Maci's boyfriend, Kyle, without whom she might have run right back into the arms of bad-boy/baby-dad Ryan.

6. Pauly D's blowout, because without it his hair looks like this.

7. Lauren Conrad's imminent return to MTV. We were worried "Dancing with the Stars" (or worse, E!) would snatch her up.

8. The free Diet Coke in the office pantry.

9. Teresa Giudice from "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" and her brass bubbies. (Best one-liner in reality TV history: "Is bitch betta?!")

10. We're required to watch TV at work.

11. We're not 16 and pregnant.

12. We get to debunk tabloid rumors by having direct access to our show talent.

13. "Paris Hilton's My New BFF" never had a third season.

14. It takes two seconds to fix a typo on the internet, so you never actually get to see a lot of our mistakes!

15. For the most part, our readers don't yell at us in the comments section. (We can dish it, but we rarely can take it.)

16. If we want to publish a swear word, all we have to do is double-star two letters of it. Thanks a sh** ton to all the f***ing champs in the Standard & Practices Department!

17. We got to use the duck phone this summer.

18. We're too old to audition for the "Real World," and that's exactly the kind of impulsive thing we'd do and regret later on.

19. In case we don't make it home on a weeknight, there's an Aeropostale and Forever 21 right outside the building.

20. We have a fruitful career despite majoring in English and possessing the emotional IQ of a preteen.

You can call them famewhores, TV villains, whatever you want really, but the truth is, it's Speidi's world and we're just living in it. The couple proved just how media relevant they still are on Sunday by renewing their vows for an audience of ... Entertainment Tonight.

"[This time] it's just me and my bride on a little secret beach with nobody else and it's just about her," Spencer told ET Online. "Versus last time it was about everything else, it was about drama, it was about ratings." (Oh you guys loved every minute of it!)

So how exactly did the strapped-for-cash lovebirds pay for their second dream wedding? Handouts! Heidi's gown, Spencer's seersucker and even the cake were donated by businesses still pulling for a Speidi world order. Our contribution? This post, for one, as well as our pledge to follow their shenanigans all the way to the retirement home.

Back in January of 2010, Heidi Pratt was keeping a low profile while recovering from her well-publicized plastic surgeries when serious drama befell her and her husband's Pacific Palisades home. Police helicopters began to hover and a crew of take-no-crap cops surrounded the premises. According to RadarOnline.com, LAPD was responding to a 911 call reporting a suspected kidnapping. "They thought we were holding someone hostage," Spencer told the website in a recent interview. He also shared with them home video footage that he shot in the midst of this WTF incident unfolding.

We rarely have no words to describe a piece of online video (well, aside from that whole '2 Girls, 1 Cup' thing). That's what we're paid to do--watch stuff, comment on it and pose sometimes controversial questions to get a dialogue going between you-the-viewers. But we still don't know what to say about Spencer's five-minute movie of this totally bizarre event. In fact, when we emailed the link around to our co-workers, we only prefaced it with a subject line that read "Watch Speidi, Be Speechless." Their reactions were mixed.

While some of our colleagues got so stressed out by watching Speidi's ordeal that they had to stop the video midway through, others laughed it off as another one of the fame-obsessed couple's elaborate hoaxes. After our fifth viewing, we're still trying to form an opinion and are asking for your help to make sense of it all.

If you dare, check out the footage posted on RadarOnline.com, then take our poll below: Is what you watched 100 percent real, or simply a typical Speidi setup?

In tough economic times like these, any type of job offer must be considered--even one requiring relocation--and according to TMZ.com, a betting website has asked Heidi and Spencer Pratt to set up shop in Central America and run their celebrity- and entertainment-focused sector.

In turn for becoming expats, Heidi and Spencer would earn $100,000. Not sure if that's 100 grand each or to split, but it sounds like the couple is considering the offer (it might be tempting in that they're broke and owe millions in back taxes)--but on one condition: "[Spencer's] looking into how he can legally own a firearm over there so that he can protect himself," TMZ's source revealed. Let us not forget that dude was busted at the Costa Rica airport earlier this year for felony possession of a firearm!

It's been nearly nine months since Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt hosted an event together in Las Vegas, but now that they've reconciled, what better kind of party to throw than one for Halloween! On Saturday night, the happy couple posed (and PDA-ed) on the carpet together at PURE nightclub. Spencer dressed as an alien while Heidi went sans costume--but she did make a point to cover her cleavage with her hair. Perhaps this is the sign of a new, more modest Heidi?

After endless self-promotion and the high cost of hiring private investigators, it's no surprise that Heidi Montag and her not-ex-hubby Spencer Pratt are broke as a joke. According to RadarOnline.com, the happily(?) married couple is so tight on money that they're living in one of his mother's beach homes!

"The truth is that they are cash-strapped right now and their only real form of income these days is from set-up paparazzi photographs," the site's source revealed. Guess that means we'll be seeing a lot more photo shoots and YouTube videos coming from these two. (Can you honestly say that doesn't make you happy?)
