Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt Fight Global Hunger
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have teamed up with Taco Bell for the Reality Check Challenge 2008 in an effort to raise funds to alleviate world hunger … apparently by signing autographs and posing for semi-goofy photos. Hey, whatever works, right? Here are a few pics and some info on this year’s Reality Check Challenge:
Taco Bell joined Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt for the second consecutive year in an effort to raise awareness of global hunger. “Reality Check Challenge” 2008, which was held at a Los Angeles-area Taco Bell restaurant, in conjunction with World Hunger Relief Movement, is part of a larger global hunger-relief campaign by Taco Bell’s parent company, Yum! Brands Inc., to raise funds for The World Food Programme. For the event, Heidi and Spencer served up Taco Bell fare to customers visiting the Taco Bell restaurant, took pictures with and signed autographs for fans in attendance, and invited customers to join in the effort to alleviate world hunger by donating at all participating domestic Taco Bell locations. Donations for the World Hunger Giving Cards begin at $1 and all proceeds raised in the U.S. go directly to The Friends of World Food Programme to help combat global hunger. At the conclusion of the event, a $10,000 donation was made by Taco Bell to the World Food Programme in Heidi and Spencer’s name. “The reality is that hunger is a staggering problem and is responsible for more deaths each year than war, malaria, tuberculosis and AIDS combined, “ said Greg Creed, president, Taco Bell Corp. “Even though this is an epidemic of global proportions, people can do something about it. I encourage everyone to get involved in the ‘Reality Check Challenge’ and donate to this year’s World Hunger Relief Movement. A dollar donation will help feed four people stricken by hunger. You can make that difference.” Prior to “Reality Check Challenge” 2008 and as part of World Hunger Relief Movement, Heidi and Spencer joined Taco Bell last week at Los Angeles’s Union Rescue Mission to serve food to the hungry and homeless in the “Skid Row” area of downtown. During this visit, the couple spent three hours helping feed hundreds of men, women and children stricken by the effects of hunger. At the conclusion of the visit, a $15,000 donation was made by Taco Bell to the mission in Heidi and Spencer’s name. “Heidi and I know the importance of bringing awareness to this global problem, and are extremely grateful to partner with Taco Bell and the World Food Programme for the second straight year,” said Spencer Pratt. “Last year, Taco Bell and Yum restaurants raised more than $16 million globally, and our goal is to help surpass that number for 2008.”
While some might argue that the mere sight of Speidi at their friendly neighborhood Taco Bell might actually inspire an immediate loss of appetite, you kinda gotta admit that it was really dope of them to come out and use their notoriety for a good cause. Whether you love to hate them or hate to love them, they deffo deserve some measure of credit for their philanthropy when it comes to issues of World Hunger. I salute them for their efforts and encourage all y’all to support the cause. That being said, they really are a bit RIDICULOUS with these photo ops … I’m not sure it’s entirely necessary to kick up one’s heels while munching on a taco but … so be it. I think it’s actually a good idea that Speidi remain in Taco Bell’s good graces … after all, if their reality TV thing ever falls thru they will prolly need a Plan B ;)

When are these two ever gonna break up…I mean is she that stupid that she lets him talk that way to her mom and sister (yes i know the show is fake at times) but come on if it was true i know i would be bitch slapping his ass for talking to my family that way….these two get on my nerves UGH
October 2nd, 2008 at 3:09 pm
I’m a huge fan of PITNB but you gotta quit posting Speidi stuff. These two drive me bonkers!
October 2nd, 2008 at 3:13 pm
how ironic .. these two need a reality check of they’re own!
October 2nd, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Trent i love you but no more stories about twit and twat, they are ridiculous.
October 2nd, 2008 at 3:36 pm
I’m a fan of yours but I honestly think you should stop with all of the pointless stories of these two. It’s always the same stuff: them prancing around, posing, trying to look cute… end of story. Less of them imo :)
October 2nd, 2008 at 3:37 pm
I can’t get over how different Heidi looks with her new nose. Well, it’s hardly new anymore since she got her nosejob awhile ago…and she looks beautiful…in a plastic, shallow, empty, really fake, Hollywood sort of way. It irks me that every pose she strikes has to be so sultry and come hither, like she’s about to come in a matter of seconds. It screams of someone in DESPERATE need of attention. Sad. I wonder what these fools’ll be doing ten years from now.
October 2nd, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Could the paps please stop taking these ridiculous staged photos of these two! I mean they make me freaking sick to my stomach. If I never see a photo of these two again it would be too soon!
October 2nd, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Yes, bravo to them! Bravo for taking a break from their regular lives and coming to donate their time to pose for pictures … oh wait …
October 2nd, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Ditto to lindyloo and “ugh”. Love you Trent, but I wish you wouldn’t post anything about them on here. I really doubt they do this out of the “goodness of their heart.” I’m sure it’s just another photo op for them. Sad thing is it works b/c you post their pics on here!
October 2nd, 2008 at 4:48 pm
I CAN’T GO TO TACO BELL! I’M ON AN ALL-CARB DIET!
October 2nd, 2008 at 5:02 pm
These 2 are sooooo pathetic and ridiculous….are they freakin’ serious with the posing??? God it’s so awful!!! Can someone gouge my eyes out PLEASE!!!!
October 2nd, 2008 at 5:04 pm
I really really hate these two people. -__- They are so fake, always posing whenever opportunity arises.
October 2nd, 2008 at 5:15 pm
I used to love Taco Bell. Like seriously I always said I want them to cater my wedding but ewwwwww. TB is now tarnished
plz, stop posting about them!! They’re a waste of your sites space !
October 2nd, 2008 at 5:26 pm
Did you really use the word “dope” in there as an adjective and not a noun???
:) Love you, Trent! :)
October 2nd, 2008 at 6:10 pm
srsly, I love you Trent, but not them. something about them just rubs me the wrong way, too fake, to porn star-ish, just tooooo much! please no more :(
though I still <3 you :)
October 2nd, 2008 at 6:32 pm
Ugh…I lost my appetite.
I love The Hills but can’t get over how much slimier Spencer gets each week.
October 2nd, 2008 at 6:58 pm
omg i cant deal with them…..they are so sickening. Every time they go out is a freakin photo-op for them. GET A LIFE SPEIDI!
October 2nd, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Ew… way to have sex with a taco…
October 2nd, 2008 at 7:07 pm
Good grief, these two have ENDLESS cheesiness.
Heehee, Pose, honey! Oh my GAWD is that a ZIT? Ooh, that taco is sexyy.
Its stupid!
October 2nd, 2008 at 7:10 pm
Seriously I am way tired of these two! And really Spencers lovely blond beard? Um…gross.
October 2nd, 2008 at 7:11 pm
O yea, and here’s some ’shocking’ news…Heidi calls the paparazzi so they take pics of her wherever she goes. Especially when she’s going 2 the spa.
what a wh****
October 2nd, 2008 at 7:29 pm
i can’t stand these two…its so obvious they’re fake, in the show and outside the show. the way she poses in one of the pics where shes standing makes her look like a whore. no offence to spiedi fans.
October 2nd, 2008 at 8:05 pm
ugh. i am so over these two.
October 2nd, 2008 at 8:46 pm
When is someone going to put us out of our misery having to look at their pie holes day in and day out.
They are awful
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:12 pm
they actually freak me out
heidi would be so much happier if she left spencer and had nothing to do with him
but i agree with everyone else
no more of these 2 unless it is something really juicy like they did break up (or something real that happens to them)
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:30 pm
Spencer is such an ass hat and Heidi looks more plastic every day. He was such a total dick on this weeks Hills episode. I know he is all the time but I can’t believe how rude he is to Heidi’s family members.
Now I don’t pretend that they did this for anything else but their own publicity but at least it actually benefits somebody besides themselves.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:33 pm
if they want to fight world hunger why don’t they feed people who actually need food, not eat it all themselves
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:40 pm
They are so tarded and desperate….UGH.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:49 pm
i gotta say, as much as these two bug, and how pointless they are….they know how to stay in the limelight.
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:34 pm
why must heidi always pose like such a hooch in all her pics? she just can’t seem to look natural…ever. well, makes sense…nothing about her is natural.
October 2nd, 2008 at 11:28 pm
They should starve themselves first.
October 3rd, 2008 at 12:34 am
camwhore much?heidi always seems to have that plastic look.i dont think they’d make any impact on whatever they’re trying to do.anyway,anything for publicity right?
October 3rd, 2008 at 3:00 am
It makes me wickedly happy to see how much uglier Spencer gets everytime anything comes up on them. The clothes, the facial hair, and now I see he’s getting a bit rounder in the face. Perhaps one day he’ll actually break the cameras and we won’t ever have to see his mug on gossip sites and magazines ever again…
October 3rd, 2008 at 3:55 am
WHY WHY WHY? What is the point of these 2? She is SOOOO posed whenever you see her. I find them utterly pointless. We don’t know who they are here in the UK, but they just seem to pop up doing stupid poses all the time. They’re not famous. And his surname really fits him … they really are both prats!
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:19 am
notoriaty?
these two are media WHORES & need to be GONE!
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:42 am
Ugh……..just think…these people are ****ing and breeding.
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:53 am
Oh God I hate Them! They make me sick!!!
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:57 am
I fear in ten years time – Heidi will be running for V P …
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:14 am
I think this is a good thing. Spencer and Heidi are just making contacts for when their 15 minutes expire. I mean, look at the pic of them at the drive-thru window… this will be their future and I think it is wonderful they are accepting it so far in advance. At least Spencer will finally have a job he can be proud of.
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:16 am
WHY DON’T THEY GO AWAY??????????????????? They are the most ridiculous and self obsessed people. She is an idiot and he is completely rude and hateful person!
GO AWAY! WE DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR LIVES!
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:26 am
Why does she always look like such a whore when she takes pictures? She always has that “I’m a porn star” look? Ugh, they annoy me
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:28 am
Can you please just ignore them? I don’t understand why anyone takes or posts pictures of them
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:01 am
LOL I love Heidi! She’s hilarious and I think she’s great. Even Spencer is entertaining. People don’t see that it is all an act. This is how they make their living, and if I could do it, I would. Good for them.
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:43 am
You’ve got to stop giving these two “props”… they are sickening.
October 3rd, 2008 at 10:43 am
These 2 need to just disappear, nobody likes them…I don’t understand how they keep getting interest, this makes me never want to eat Taco Bell again! Women like Heidi shouldn’t be praised…she’s a poor example for young girls today & she deserves better than what she has settled for.
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:57 am
Oh Trent- again with Speidi??? I am totally turned off by Taco Bell now.
October 3rd, 2008 at 12:30 pm
they should both be beaten to death with a giant burritto.
October 3rd, 2008 at 12:37 pm
I think since the majority of us DO NOT want to hear about these two idiots we should all just start boycotting any site that posts about them. They are making money off of this stuff. They are famous for nothing. STOP MAKING THEM MORE MONEY!
October 3rd, 2008 at 1:04 pm
Serioulsly Trent, I read your blog almost everyday, I love it. But I can’t stand them. Why are you fueling thier fire? Why are you giving them the attention they don’t deserve?
October 3rd, 2008 at 1:32 pm
i feel repulsed.
October 3rd, 2008 at 3:41 pm
[...] Taco Bell donated $10,000 in their names to the World Food Programme at the event. Spencer and Heidi themselves donated nothing, which is really not that surprising. Just shameful is all. [...]
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:32 pm
gah, i’m sick of these 2
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Ugh.. when will these two PLEASE go away?! They scare me more than Sarah Palin in a hockey mask riding John McCain into the western sunset with a rifle on her back!!
I’ve never seen two people more desperate for attention. What a disgrace for America.
