Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, newly returned from the jungle of Costa Rica after they failed to successfully endure a stint on the NBC competitive reality TV show I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!, spent all of yesterday making the rounds in NYC appearing on various TV talk shows to talk about their behavior on the NBC show. Their day started with an appearance on The Today Show where the couple were interviewed on live television by Al Roker. Roker, clearly not a fan of Speidi, grilled them on the behavior they exhibited on I’m a Celebrity and seemed to enjoy making the couple squirm on national TV. Heidi Montag says that she felt “persecuted” by Roker and spent much of the rest of the day giving interviews to that effect. The couple paid a visit to the Extra! TV studios and talked about their appearance on The Today Show:
After surviving in the jungle (and Four Seasons) in Costa Rica, Speidi flew to New York to talk to Al Roker on the “Today Show” — and now they say Al went on the offense! During their interview, Roker asked the “Hills” duo about their stint on “I’m a Celebrity,” and at one point told Spencer that people think he’s a jerk, and quizzed Heidi hardball style. “The guy was a bully — nobody has ever verbally berated my wife like that,” Spencer tells “Extra.” “He got very aggressive with me,” Heidi chimed in. Mrs. Pratt tells “Extra” that she was literally driven to tears by Al’s questioning about the drama on “Celebrity,” saying, “I felt like I was being persecuted.” Heidi adds, “Women should know… he’s not just gonna be, you know, normal and courteous to you.” Spencer admits that he was so upset that he almost threw a punch! “I was like, ‘this guy’s about to get hit.’ My heart was just pounding, ‘be good Spencer, don’t hit him in the face.’” After the interview, Roker wrote on his Twitter, “Heidi and Spencer are an interesting couple. famous for… being infamous. Bad and vacuous behavior. I think we’re at minute 11 of their 15.” Spencer replies, “Congratulations, you get to be talked about for a day. Must be cool.” Heidi adds, “I’m gonna pray for him ’cause I feel like the devil really got a hold of him.”
LMAO!! When Speidi have reached the level where they get into public feuds with someone like Al Roker … you know they’ve made it! But, lest you think that the dynamic duo spent all of their time talking about Roker, they did talk about other issues — like Spencer‘s plan to become President of the United States of America:
“When I’m in the White House as the President of the Unite States, this beautiful amazing, county then I’ll be like, ‘Okay, I’ve done what I’ve dreamt my whole life to be.’ That was the game plan to become the most famous person on the planet, so when I’m campaigning, people will know who I am. No one knew who Obama was and now he’s the President. Just imagine what I’m capable of….I plan to be the President of the United States in the next 20 years.”
As well as plans for the couple to launch their own record label:
“Ready for this. Exclusive. Heidi and Spencer are about to sign….our own distribution deal for each of our records through Warner Music Group. Heidi and Spencer. Speidi have their own record label now with distribution through Warner Music, so we’re both going to put out albums…”
Lord have mercy, heaven help us all. I think I’m more interested in going back to that Al Roker interview. In case you missed it (or just want to see it again), you can see the full Speidi interview on The Today Show to see what all the hub-bub is about …
Now that’s entertainment. So … do y’all think Heidi was persecuted? Are you Team Speidi or Team Al Roker?

I don’t even think he was that harsh! But at the end of the day this has just got them MORE publicity. I love them, they are utter famewhores and they are completely honest about it, all they want is money and for people to be talking about them and they have both. Spencer for President I say!!
ughhh they are the most annoying, self-absorbed, irritating people ever. the fact that we have to put up with this childish, immature behavior is ridiculous. i don’t think al roker did anything wrong, he just wasn’t going to let them skate by with unanswered questions. he wanted an answer to the questions he asked them and fortunately for us it was awkward and enjoyable to watch! these people need to fall into obscurity because i can’t take them anymore, at least we now have kristin cavalleri to (hopefully) put them in their place.
ok, its working now..
These two are the stupidest people Ive ever seen. I mean if I was at the airport and I saw these two I think I would throw my drink on them. They both deserve a slap but mostly they need a big cock in there mouth just to shut them up. Heidi can’t defend herself and Spencer is just to much. You guy are not celebrities just dumbass who decided on appearing on a reality show.
@Mander–I agree with you 100%….I saw nothing that made me think Al was being unfair to either of the Douches or I mean Pratts
Of course they want to create their own record label. Cause noone real ones will sign them!
Trent: Yes please, no more blogging about these cretins. They do not deserve your wit.
Every time they try to invoke religion by claiming to be “saved” or to “pray for someone” it makes me sick to my stomach. There are millions of people every day that take religion very seriously and its a slap in the face that we give them any kind of attention while they’re talking that mess (or ever, really). Haven’t they ever heard that God don’t like ugly?
Al was’nt rude to them at all! I can’t stand these delusional idiots!!
Persecution?? Do they know what that is? President of the US? Holy fuck these are the two most delusional, privileged, spoiled brats in the entire planet. We really need to just all ignore them… I think they will spontaneously combust.
AHH i just watched the vid and Spencer is just the biggest douche that has ever existed in the entire world. Ever. Remember when he was on David Letterman and Letterman just laughed in his face? Yeah that was awesome.
the only reason they’re famous is because they’re a laughing stock. hopefully god will strike them down with a lightening bolt.
OMG they have now totally and completely crossed over into the world of crazy!! Maybe they drank the water in Costa Rica (can you drink the water there, does anyone know?) maybe they fell and smacked their heads while chillin in that jungle… maybe some exotic bug that we don’t have in the US bit them or something but who in their right mind goes on the record to say the BS that came from them after that interview? I watched it yesterday online and I had to actually watch it more than once before I was convinced that nothing was edited out of what I was seeing. Seriously, they should be lucky they were interviewed by Al Roker, who in my opinion was tame compared to some of his collegaues (I would LOVE it if Barbara Walters interviewed them…. that woman is FIERCE! She can make ANYONE cry!) Can we send them back to Costa Rica?! PLEASE?!?!!!!!!!
Oh and the day that Spencer Pratt announces his bid for the Presidency is the day I get my Passport and hop a plane to Europe!
Please someone make these 2 go away!!!! I almost feel sorry for them when they do finally grow up and have children and they see what absolute fools they have made of themselves.
And the media is no better than them because they keep interviewing them and running their ridiclious antics in the weekly rags.
Did anyone see them on the view yesterday? Barbara Walters didn’t make it easy for them either and by the end of the interview Whoopie looked like she wants to rip her hair our. Enough of enough of these two!
@Michelle they were on the view yesterday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-wJxIBTxBE for some reason no one is really mentioning this interview in the media.
They are absolutely fucking ridiculous.
I’ll be honest, part of me thinks these two are completely brilliant. They’ve created this whole obnoxious, half-witted, spoiled rich kid persona and people can’t stop talking about how much they hate them. Seriously, 37 comments just to talk about what dumb***es they are!
@ JJ ditto. And now it’s 38… damnit! Team Roker. T’was a fair interview with reasonable questions
Douchebags…..I wish I could write something more eloquent to convey how I feel about those two but Douchebag fits so well.
I think we are at 14.59, just waiting for the last second to tick over. Any chance of a Speidi break Trent, I think you can see the majority of us are sick of them?
