Spencer Pratt is a Marketing Genius
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007With Jason Wahler busy getting arrested left and right, his regular court dates interrupted only by brief stints in rehab, and Heidi’s relationship with series star and Pratt nemesis Lauren Conrad essentially non-existent, what on earth is Spencer Pratt going to do to get some screen time in season three of The Hills? Oh, right. He can propose to Heidi Montag. So he did.
Spencer, 23, proposed to Montag, 12, at Bacara in Santa Barbara on Tuesday night. A source says that “she said ‘yes.’ She’s over the moon!”
He proposed with a diamond-encrusted platinum band with a pink stone, which he purchased on Monday in Brentwood. A witness at the store says that “she was trying on tons of them and they looked really happy!” What? You think Heidi would let someone else pick out her engagement ring?
Well, if nothing else, this most recent turn of events should help expedite their inevitable split.

EvilT Likes Commercials and 90210
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007Sometimes I receive emails from lovely NYC girls. Not often, but every once in a blue moon.
Today was one of those days. Sadly, it was not to talk about me, it was to ask me to post something on her behalf. You see, the writer known as EvilT wants you to see this.
REMEMBER: I did not ask you to watch this. I’ll quote EvilT here:
“You might think this is stupid but 90210 is awesome.”
You can’t beat that people. Obey! PS- Thanks for writing EvilT. I miss our talks.
Let’s Take a Minute to Pretend I Care About What’s Going on with the Cast of Grey’s Anatomy
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007Ever since Isaiah Washington punched Patrick Dempsey on set and then called co-star T.R. Knight a “faggot” (and then did it again), there have been rumors that he would be leaving the show at the end of the season. Because he sucks and nobody wants to work with him. T.R. Knight and BFF Katherine Heigl have certainly been campaigning for his departure, with T.R. recounting his sob story to every magazine that will listen.
The season finale of Grey’s basically left the door open for either of them to leave: Washington’s character walked out on his own wedding and moved out of the place he shares with Christina, and O’Malley failed his intern exam. (Sorry for the spoiler, but, really, if you haven’t watched it by now, you’re not going to.) So, in the immortal words of Tyra Banks, who goes home? The violent homophobe who appears to be generally detested by the entire cast? Or the gay guy?
Nobody seems to know.
When asked last night if he would be returning next season, T.R. said, “I literally don’t know. It would be nice to know if I’m supposed to report back soon.” Apparently the producers haven’t told him, lest he tell everyone else.
Meanwhile, Us Weekly’s got a source at ABC that says “[Isaiah] will not be back as a series regular. The cast – especially the women – just don’t like him.” Other sources back up this claim, saying that Washington has been taking meetings in NYC and LA for TV series that will film at the same time as Grey’s, implying that he knows he won’t be back.
Washington’s rep denies these accounts, saying that “Isaiah is not off the show. We do not have a contract yet, but we expect to.”
I still have my fingers crossed for some strange twist of fate in which Katherine Heigl gets the boot, and we can get through ten minutes of that show next season without hearing Izzie whine about anything and everything. That would sure be nice.
Julianne’s Boyfriend is a Hottie
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007So I was one of the ones who was hoping that Julianne Hough and Apolo Anton Ohno would get together even though Julianne was engaged to her boyfriend of one year, Zach Wilson, 25. I thought to myself, this girl is adorable but I hope she isn’t getting married to one of those dorky Mormon kids in weird button up shirts and ugly ties. (I totally apologize to my Junior year subletter…J Paul…the most awesome dorky Mormon boy ever)
Her boyfriend is a fox. I’m guessing that even if she likes herself some Apolo (and you know that he has got to think that she is one little hottie) she goes home to quite the adorable man. If she really is a devout Mormon she has got to marry within the tribe and Zach seems like a nice choice.
Zach was tracked down and gave an interview where she stated that he knew about all of the rumors, but as a former professional dancer he knows that dancing is about acting as well as fancy footwork.
“Because I’m a dancer I know what performing takes,” he says. “I’ve been involved in ballroom a lot, so I know there has to be chemistry when you dance together. It doesn’t mean that there’s any romance going on. And I know personally that there’s not, because I’ve been with them in rehearsals and I’ve gotten to know Apolo really well. He’s a really nice guy. So it doesn’t bother me. … . If I didn’t know her and I was watching the show, I would think that they were in love,” he says. “But I do know her and they’re not. They’re just good friends.”
Well lets hope that everything stays good with these two lovebirds. Apolo and Julianne still have to stay “just friends” during the “Dancing With the Stars” tour. Also Julianne is going to get a lot of publicity and possibly will go down the acting route after all of her publicity. I’m wondering how hottie Zach is going to deal with his future wife being famous. He quit dancing to be a dentist.
It’s Not That Nicole Richie is in Rehab, It’s Just That She Should Be
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007So the story broke late last night that Miss Nicole Richie was in rehab for anorexia and a pill addiction. The National Enquirer and Star magazine launched a “joint newsgathering operation” (read: National Enquirer did the newsgathering and AMI stuck Star’s name on it, too), and determined that Nicole had checked into the Beau Monde Treatment Center in Corona del Mar, California on May 11 to deal with anorexia and an addiction to pills. Apparently the folks at Bauer Griffin caught her entering the facility on May 19 with an overnight bag. (How does one know exactly what an “overnight” bag looks like? Couldn’t it have just been a bag with things in it?)
Let’s remember, too, that Nicole still faces possible jail time for her DUI late last year — because it’s her second DUI, she will serve a mandatory five days in jail if she’s convicted. There’s a pretrial hearing for her case on June 8, just three days after pal Paris Hilton is set to start serving her jail time.
Richie’s rep, however, denies the starlet is currently in rehab. “She is not in rehab. She is at home in Glendale. Sobriety is an ongoing process but she is sober.” According to TMZ, Nicole did go to the facility to meet with her therapist, but was not participating in an in-patient program.
The folks at Star and National Enquirer are sticking by their story. “We figured Nicole’s publicist would try to deny this,” they say. “We have excellent sources, though.”
I feel bad for Nicole. She’s trying hard to deal with her addictions, and I’m sure she’s freaked out about going to jail. It’s a slow process, I guess.
