The Hills just isn’t the same without Lauren Conrad. Take away the entertainment of Spencer Pratt and it’s pretty much worthless … which we’d better get used to.
The reality TV villain says he’s leaving the show, and we think he’s serious, to take his career in a surprising new direction: To protect America from cyber threats.
Seriously. People reported this.
“In the last few months I discovered a new passion and new purpose to my life,” Pratt said. “With this in mind, I have decided to take a break from MTV’s The Hills.”
Now studying software engineering with a focus on encryption at USC, Spencer Pratt says he’s off to work for American Defense Enterprises’ cyber security division.
His first mission? Making sure all Heidi Montag pictures are secure!
Our first, and hopefully not last line of defense against hackers.
“Upon learning of President Obama’s declaration that the ‘cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation,’ I have decided to refocus my energy and devote my full resources to helping America,” he says.
“My new mission is this: To do my part in maintaining the technological superiority of the U.S. military and prevent emerging technologies from threatening our nation’s security as we face this and other unprecedented challenges.”
That’s … awesome actually. But this is Spencer Pratt. He can’t possibly be serious, right? Is there a reality TV crew on call to film him fighting cyber-terrorists?
“I am saddened to take this break from MTV’s The Hills,” he admits. “However I feel I would not be honoring my country if I were to continue when I have the opportunity and ability to assist our nation against these prevalent threats.”
Pratt’s wife, Heidi Montag, remains on The Hills. Spencer has also been relieved of managerial duties for Heidi, who’s now using Malibu-based psychic Aiden Chase.
These jerks have met their sleazy match.

Apparently Rielle Hunter has the green light to start blabbing about John Edwards and their torrid love affair, because GQ has a feature on her in its new issue.
A feature showing Edwards’ mistress – a woman of “serenity and spunk” – trying hard to look sexy and, fittingly, given what she’s known for, wearing no pants.
The John Edwards sex tape participant and mother of the love child he denied was his for two years certainly is captivating, albeit for all the wrong reasons.
Luckily for us, GQ got Rielle Hunter half naked, propped her on a bed full of toys, and told her to recall in detail how it was love at first sight with “Johnny.”
One of her “unfiltered” observations: It’s all Elizabeth’s fault!
“I believe what happened in his marriage is, he could not go to his wife and say, ‘We have an issue,’” she opines. “Because he would be pummeled. He had a huge fear.”
“Most of his mistakes or errors in judgment were because of his fear of the wrath of Elizabeth,” the weird videographer adds. “He’s allowed himself to be pushed into a lot of things that he wouldn’t normally do because of Elizabeth’s story line.”
“A lot of it relates to the spin that she wants to put out there. He was emasculated. And you know, the wrath of Elizabeth is a mighty wrath.” Oh, we so know. Totally.
So he knocked up Rielle, had Andrew Young take the fall and may have used campaign funds to cover it up because he was scared of his wife. Makes perfect sense.
She continues: “It’s beyond difficult to allow a man to be a man.”
“The biggest mistake that I find is that women attempt to make men women. You know, we want them to be like we are. We want them to get it immediately and do things the way that we want them to do them. And men are men.”
 
“I love him for being a man. But oh, my God, yes, it’s been infuriating so many times.” So basically, Elizabeth is a banshee, and men will be men, eh, Rielle? Nut job.

If Kim Kardashian is known for one thing involving cameras, it’s moanin’ and groanin’ as Ray J worked his magic up in dat thang. But if she’s known for a second thing, it’s totally E!’s hit reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
A show that may no longer be able to afford her.
Now a household name for whatever reason, Kim’s professional celebrity status has thrown a wrench into negotiations for the fifth season of Keeping Up.
Her star power has been a boost for the show, but as Kim Kardashian becomes increasingly popular, she may have options more lucrative than E! can match.
“Kim’s advisors feel it may be time to explore bigger deals on bigger networks,” a TV insider with alleged knowledge of the ongoing negotiations says.
BIG TIME: That applies to Kim’s booty, and level of fame apparently.
“She’s right to feel like she doesn’t need to open up her life to make a living. It looks like Kim can make a lot more money than the TV show can pay her, especially through her endorsement deals and doing appearances on bigger shows.”
Huh? Really, insider? The only reason she makes a living is by opening up her life … and legs, for Ray J. But that’s neither here nor there at this point.
At this juncture, E!’s options could be limited. The source says that they can dig deep and make Kim an offer she and her representatives can’t refuse.
On the flip side, the network re-fashion Keeping Up With The Kardashians to focus on the remaining cast members. Talk about a ticking time bomb!
“Neither path makes much business sense, especially when the Miami spinoff is doing just fine,” says the Kim source. “The most likely scenario is shutting down the show altogether and focusing resources on the Miami-Khloe and Kourtney franchise.”
Wow. Kim potentially putting the kibosh on Keeping Up? Krushing.

Where does Lauren Conrad turn when she needs a wardrobe update?
To the fashion collection she herself designed for Kohl’s, of course.
“I think if you’re not willing to wear your own clothes, you’re doing something wrong,” she says. “This line was meant to be about my style, pieces I want to walk in the store and buy. If you’re not wearing your own line, you’re taking the fun out of it!”
Here’s Lauren looking fabulous in one of her pieces …
Known for her flirty frocks and California cool girl style, Lauren tells Glamour her staple piece is the blazer. “We have one in every collection, and we usually tweak it a little bit. In this specific collection, I also really love the biker jacket we did.”
Come spring, the former star of The Hills says she’ll be pairing her sharp toppers with lots of watercolor prints: “I think they’re very romantic and kind of timeless.”
“I almost did too much of it with this collection,” she says. “When we were shopping for prints with Kohl’s, everything I picked was watercolor and floral.”
“They’re very in because of the whole Alice in Wonderland thing.”
However one fashion fad the style author won’t be trying this season is hot pants: “You can’t wear them to the club, because you’re going to look like one of the dancers, but they could look cute on the beach!” says LC.

Charlie Sheen is prepared to plead guilty following his drunken Christmas melee with wife Brooke Mueller. The only thing left is to hammer out the logistics.
The prosecution in the assault case is reportedly not looking for jail time, but wants Sheen to either cop a guilty plea to a felony or stand trial for the attack.
The Two and a Half Men star is more than willing to plead guilty or no contest to a misdemeanor with no jail time, which means this boils down to one issue:
Whether Charlie pleads to a misdemeanor or a felony. Charlie’s position is that Aspen, Colo., prosecutors routinely accept misdemeanor pleas in such cases.
Charlie and Brooke have been through a lot lately.
Sheen also wants the case dismissed outright at the end of the probationary period, which is likely to span a year or more. So what’s the hangup here?
The Aspen D.A. is reluctant to let Charlie already off too easily.
In 1997, the troubled star pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery in a domestic violence case involving then-girlfriend Brittany Ashland. That’s an issue.
The Aspen D.A. feels that given Charlie’s history, a felony is appropriate. So his fate in the Brooke Mueller incident may involve more legal wrangling yet.
Stay tuned …

Jessica Simpson is all self-conscious thanks to that douchebag John Mayer.
After the singer told Playboy that she was “sexual napalm” and that he wanted to “snort her like crack,” Jess is concerned about guys checking her out 24/7.
Monday on The View, Simpson said Mayer’s revealing Playboy interview was “embarrassing. I’ll walk into a restaurant and I feel like men are looking at me.”
“I feel like they’re undressing me.”
Yeah, John Mayer’s interview is when that all started. No one goes to a Jessica Simpson concert or watches her movies because of her charisma. Just sayin’.
As she’s said before, the star said Mayer’s apology “doesn’t really matter.” Will she ever take him back? “He’ll never have this napalm again!” she declared.
Amen, sister.
Simpson also shot down her rumored romance with Billy Corgan. “I can’t meet anyone without being married the next week,” Simpson said of Corgan, who helped produce theme song for The Price of Beauty, which premieres tonight.
“He is one of my dear friends … he understands my heart.” Deep.
Also a clothing designer, Jess told The View panel about a new product: “I’m actually about to put out a denim line: sexy mom jeans!” Sure to be a hot seller.
Check out a clip of Sexual Napalm on The View below …

Soccer star David Beckham is expected to miss the World Cup after apparently tearing his Achilles’ tendon Sunday in A.C. Milan’s 1-0 victory over Chievo Verona.
Beckham pulled up unchallenged in the center circle, hopped on his right leg, fell to the turf and shouted “It’s broken, it’s broken!” as he was carried off in tears.
He is expected to fly to Finland today to have surgery.
“He felt the muscle begin to come up, which is a typical symptom when you break an Achilles’ tendon,” Milan Coach Leonardo told Sky Sports. “It’s a real blow.”
David Beckham’s ACL is torn, but the rest of that bod is okay.
The loss was also a blow for England’s World Cup hopes, but likely not a devastating one since Beckham was not even assured a place on Fabio Capello’s roster.
England’s national team is strongest in midfield, where David plays. Losing Wayne Rooney or Steven Gerrard would be far, far more troubling to their chances.
Serious soccer analysis aside, the injury could put his entire soccer career in peril, but on the plus side, that’d leave much more time for underwear modeling.
You gotta look on the bright side, right? You don’t need two functional ACLs to have a functional David Beckham shirtless. Might as well retire now, eh, Becks?
