Heidi Montag Files For Divorce; Spencer Pratt Calls Marriage a "Show" For The Hills

Ever since the first reports of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt splitting up, Hills fans understandably assumed wondered if it was another big PR hoax.

Looks like it isn't.

Almost two months after the plastic princess went to court seeking legal separation from the puppet master, the reality star has filed for divorce.

Heidi Montag cites the usual "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the pair's split in a divorce petition filed in Santa Monica, Calif., Court.

"Heidi has amended her petition for separation and has filed a petition for dissolution of marriage from Spencer Pratt," attorney Jodeane Farrell said. The couple has agreed they would like their divorce to be finalized in a timely manner."
Adding that terms will be hashed out in an out of court settlement, Farrell said "both parties are amicable with each other and finalizing the divorce."

The couple staged a sham wedding in Cabo in 2008, then tied the knot for real in April 2009 at a church in Pasadena, Calif., appearing happy.

Things went downhill fast, however.

Heidi Montag underwent 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day, fired Spencer as her manager, released terrible music, accused The Hills creator Adam DiVello of sexual harassment and became estranged from her family and so on.

For his part, Spencer Pratt has grown increasingly eccentric, and even admitted to being a fame whore and choosing his "career" over his wife.
He echoed that sentiment yesterday to People.

"I love Heidi but our marriage was a show – it was part of The Hills world," Pratt said after the divorce filing. "That world is on a sound stage."

Referring to himself in the third-person, he adds: "It's clear that reality TV-fame-loving Spencer Pratt does not fit with my ex-wife Heidi Montag's ambitions for a motion picture actor/pop star career and being a single sex symbol for the world."

"Some say if you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen, Well, Heidi couldn't handle King Spencer's fame so she got out of the marriage."

Tonight: The Last Season of The Hills ... or Not!

If you thought the first episode of the final season of The Hills tonight was the beginning of the end, you may want to rethink that, Kristin Cavallari says.

"There's a possibility of them ordering 12 more episodes," the resident bad girl said, presumably meaning on top of the 12 episodes starting this evening.

So either an ultra-long Season Six or a Season Seven. Either way, that's great news for any fans the show actually retained since Lauren Conrad bolted.

"I would like to," she said. "I'm in such a rhythm with things and I'm having a great time. We're just now starting to get into some really good juicy stuff with a few new people. So I think we could do another 12 and make them good."

The writers and editors have done a great job lately, so we're all for it!
"I can't deny the fact that he is one of the most good looking men in the entire world," Cavallari, who swears she's not a bitch, gushed unabashedly.

"We have a lot of fun together. I don't know if we could ever really get back together and be serious, but we are sort of trying to see if we could."

She'd also like to see former Hills frontwoman LC return for the finale.

"I would love her to," Kristin Cavallari said. "I think it would be so great if she did. There could be many different ways of bringing her back."

Kristin and Co. grace our television screens at 10 p.m. Tuesday.

Lauren Conrad: Cosmo Cover Girl

In the new issue of Cosmopolitan, Lauren Conrad describes how she finished her last day of shooting for The Hills, and if you're a fan of the series, it should come as no surprise that the emotional LC cried as she said her goodbyes.
But the tears have dried, and she's ready for a fresh start.

"I've always had another season to look forward to, but now life is a little more unplanned," the lovable 23-year-old says. "It's really exciting."
The star, whose last episode of The Hills airs Sunday, says the awkward talk she had with former BFF Heidi Montag only told viewers half the story.
According to Conrad, the producers of the show kept pushing her to meet up with Montag throughout the fifth season, knowing it would be her last.
“I’m trying to move on, but they won’t let me," Lauren Conrad said.

"What they didn’t get is that I didn’t want to fight with her anymore. It’s hard to look at somebody who used to be your best friend and say, ‘We can’t be friends. Too much has happened.’ When someone keeps pushing you into the same position, you get upset.”
Now that her reality TV days are over, the often-glamorous star can look forward to more of what she prefers - a more low-key life with beau Kyle Howard.

"I feel sexiest with him when I'm in sweatpants and no makeup," she says of her boyfriend of about nine months, who stars on the TBS show My Boys.
"They are really good together," pal Lo Bosworth says. "Sometimes it takes somehow who treats you right to show you there's something else out there."
