Seen here with Heidi, who apparently changed outfits throughout the evening, Spencer Pratt admits to Life & Style that their divorce was faked to land a reality show that fell through, leaving the couple with no choice but to file for bankruptcy. *dabs eyes with tissues* I promised myself I wouldn’t do this…:

After they found out The Hills would not be renewed earlier this year, Heidi and Spencer concocted a plan to get attention by divorcing shortly after their anniversary. The reality duo tell Life & Style there was interest in a series covering their split from British TV network ITV, so they splashed down cash to move their act to Costa Rica. But that deal fell through and soon after, they called off the divorce proceedings and reunited.
“The divorce was real — just the idea behind it was different than most people’s,” Spencer tells Life & Style. “Divorcing was the only way to keep Heidi’s career going because everyone hated me so much. Look at Sandra Bullock — her divorce from Jesse James was the best thing to happen to her image.”
Now, they worry how they’ll ever get themselves out of the cash crisis. “I can’t make regular money because I was playing such an unlikeable character on TV to keep my checks coming. Who wants to hire the jerk from The Hills?”

Good question except now who’s going to hire an unlikeable, supposedly Christian asshole who consistently makes shit up hoping some rubes will believe it?

David Beckham moved to Beverly Hills in 2007 with his wife Victoria and their three sons, and the soccer star has no plans to move back to the UK.

Instead, he hopes to remain in America for as long as his family are happy living there — but insists he will never forget his English roots.

Asked by the Los Angeles Times newspaper if he would like to get US citizenship, David — who was born and raised in London — said: “I hope so, one day. It would be nice. I’m English born and bred and that’s the way I’ll always be. I’m an Englishman, you know.

“Our boys go to school here. As long as they continue to be happy here and my wife’s happy here, then we plan on staying.”

Despite his love for America, the heartthrob sportsman wants to bring a little bit of England over to Los Angeles by opening a pub called The Queen Vic.

David and his close friend, TV chef Gordon Ramsay, are planning to open a traditional English drinking establishment for the city’s expats.

A source previously said: “David wants pie and mash, fish and chips and even chicken in a basket on the menu, just like the meals he eats when he’s in the UK.”

Nick Lachey is giving the whole marriage thing another go around! Us magazine reports Jessica Simpson’s ex popped the question to his longtime girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo. Congrats!

“We’re excited and incredibly happy about our engagement and we look forward to a wonderful future together,” the newly engaged couple said in a statement. Too cute!

They’ve been dating since 2006, though they had a brief split last summer before getting back together again. They got together the first time soon after he and Jessica divorced.

For the record, they have no plans to do a reality TV show together — especially since his show with Jess, Newlyweds, is said to have caused a big strain in their relationship. He’s apparently learned his lesson on that front, thankfully.

The two haven’t announced a wedding date yet, and are probably just looking forward to their birthdays next week: Both of them were born on November 9! Nick will be 37 and Vanessa will turn the big 3-0.

After LeAnn Rimes posted a picture to Twitter showing Eddie Cibrian down on one knee, many wondered if the pop star was trying to tell the world that she and Cibiran were getting ready to tie the knot.

Now, E! Online is reporting that the two are indeed engaged. “The recently divorced actor indeed popped the question recently and the duo are engaged,” writes E!, citing a source close to the couple.

It it’s true, it would be the latest development in the couple’s whirlwind relationship. They met on the set of Hallmark movie Northern Lights while both were married, and eventually left their respective spouses to be with each other.

Rimes, talking to ABC’s Robin Roberts, said that it was out of character for her. “That’s just not me. What happened is not who I am, period. I do know how much I love him. So, I’ve always said I don’t live my life with regret. I can’t.”

So far, no word from either Rimes or Cibrian on whether they have decided to take the next step. We’ll wait and see what the reps for Rimes and Cibrian have to say.

Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher are still in the honeymoon glow their recent marriage, but Underwood says people are already asking when she’s planning on having a child. Short answer: not any time soon.

“Whenever you’re dating someone, it’s like, ‘When are they getting married? When are they getting married?’” says Underwood in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “As soon as you get married, [it's], ‘When are you having babies?’”

“We are not planning on it for a while,” said Underwood. “We both want to enjoying being married. I don’t think it would be fair to our kid to bring a child into our lives right now. We both need to slow down first, and we don’t want to right now.”

Of course, anything can happen. “You never know what God has in store, and you can make all the plans you want to,” she said. “But at the end of the day, whatever’s going to happen is going to happen.”

Ashlee Simpson and her husband Pete Wentz sometimes go on double dates with her sister Jessica Simpson and her new man, NFL football player Eric Johnson, and Ashlee enjoys his gentle nature.

She told E!: “He’s just really easygoing, they’re a fantastic couple. We’re definitely, like, all a big family, so we double date all the time.”

Ashlee has also lifted the lid on her and Pete’s Halloween weekend with their 23-month old son Bronx, and her decision to crop her hair to short and blonde.

Ashlee added: “For me it’s a fun change with my hair, I had fun, just a new do, chop it all off, be blond again, good times!

“We had the best Halloween together, Bronx wore several different costumes, but I can’t tell you what.”

Although she enjoyed Halloween, Ashlee admits her favorite holiday is just around the corner, and she is already getting in the festive mood now.

She said: “I’m obsessed with holidays, I’m, like, ready for Christmas music now, I just get that way, I can’t help it.”

The singer is also working on a fourth studio album, but she won’t release anything for a while, as she is concentrating on her family life.

She added: “I am working on it, but I’m taking my time, my little boy is my priority, I’m having a blast, but sometime late next year.”

Rocker Slash has changed his mind about ending his marriage to wife Perla Ferrar, despite filing papers in Los Angeles County Superior Court in August citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason behind the split.

The guitarist has now filed a request for dismissal of the divorce, gossip website TMZ reports.

Slash and Perla have been married for nine years and have two sons together, London Emilio, eight and six-year-old Cash Anthony.

The guitarist, who had listed the date of separation as July 15 2010, originally requested joint physical and legal custody of the two boys and said he was willing to pay spousal support.

The split was said to be “extremely acrimonious.”

This is Slash’s second marriage after splitting from first wife Renee Suran in 1997 after a five-year union.

Slash, who is renowned for his rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, had credited his marriage to Perla and fatherhood as having a calming influence on his life when he recently revealed he no longer drinks or takes drugs.

The 45-year-old musician said: “I quit doing drugs. But because I’m a habitual kinda guy, if I quit doing drugs, then I drink. And then if I quit drinking, I do drugs — forever. So I quit doing drugs this one time, and I decided not to drink too. It’s been four years. And I really don’t miss it.”

In real life, Hilary Duff may be sweet as can be, but she says getting the chance to get a little mean on Community has been great.

On Thursday night’s episode of the hit NBC sitcom, Duff plays an alpha female who wanders into the halls of Greendale Community College and immediately stars terrorizing the series regulars.

Duff had a blast doing it. “I haven’t really done anything where I got to be a b—h before,” Duff said to Us Weekly. “It wasn’t that I had to do so much preparation — everyone’s had someone be mean to them before — but it was just exciting to play something different.”

It’s even been enough to make Duff yearn for being on TV a bit. “Getting that little taste of TV again made me miss it,” she said. “It reminded me that the hours are really long, but in a good way. Everyone on set was very close and I miss knowing that you’re going to see the same people each day, [and] you’re going to be able to come home and sleep in your own bed at night. I’d definitely do TV again if the right project came along.”

Welcome to the healing.

Because the British understand Americans better than we understand ourselves, MTV London hired Lady GaGa and Katy Perry impersonators to wrestle each other in a pile of tomatoes yesterday. And while I originally started this post as a reprieve from this morning’s political tomfoolery, I should probably admit this is my entire platform for 2016. Mandatory this.
