divorce[edit]

Aug. 6, 2009: Television personalities Spencer Pratt, left, and Heidi Montag arrive at the premiere of "G.I. Joe" in Los Angeles.

Last Tuesday, "The Hills" starlet Heidi Montag left many a little confused after tweeting, "I am not Heidi Pratt, I am Heidi Montag" - but as it turns out, the 23-year-old is reportedly leaving her husband of 19 months, Spencer Pratt.

"Heidi is looking to move out due to all the fake bad press that Spencer controls. She's tired of it and is looking for a place and wants to focus on her acting career," a rep for Montag told TMZ, adding that she's currently searching for her own home in Malibu.

It certainly has been a tumultous marriage for the two - just recently they called the cops on Montag's mom who apparently showed up at their house uninvited, and earlier this year Pratt found himself in deep trouble for allegedly making terroristic threat against producers of the MTV reality show.

And a few weeks ago, a rep for Pratt told Pop Tarts that the two were doing their best to stay out of the spotlight in an attempt to restore their not-so-positive public profile.

"Due to all the negative press lately, they have decided to lay low for a while," said his rep.

A source close to the couple isn't surprised by the split, but surprised Miss Montag is finally making the move.

"I'm so happy for her," said our insider. "He was such a bad influence."

Another Pratt family friend agreed.

"I think the American public would agree they're better off apart. Heidi is off in her own crazy little world and Spencer is certifiably insane," said the source. "Heidi was his little puppet and its great that she is finally (separating from him). Their relationship always seemed so forced."

Religion?[edit]

Does his religion REALLY need to be stated on here? I know that people come here for information, but something as trivial as what he believes in shouldn't matter to anyone in the first place. That's personal business. He talks about it a lot on TV, so maybe put it somewhere in the biography? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.208.12.31 (talk) 04:41, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you notice, many articles include what religion the person is or was raised in, and as his "baptism" (if you could call it that) was done publically (on television) I would say it belongs in the article. Although personally I think he is a joke to Christianity, as is Stephen Baldwin, the man who baptised him, I think it still belongs. --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 20:23, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

General[edit]

On what is his claim to fame, justifying a Wikipedia entry, based? As far as I can see only on his appearance in an underclass-TV show and his wife. Is this really considered part of American culture? Pardon my ignorance if I've overlooked something important, but I am not American. --Skowronek The Lark (talk) 07:39, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a BLP. Keep it in mind.--Terrillja _talk 13:44, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mayan apocalypse[edit]

Hi, it's well documented that Pratt and his partner purposefully spent almost all of their fortune in the run up to the supposed Mayan apocalypse of 2012, thinking the world was ending.

However this fact is repeatedly removed from the article (I've put it on twice now) even though it is relevant and well sourced.

@KidAd: This fact is well-sourced and reliable, and shouldn't be marked as vandalism.
