Heidi Montag And Spencer Pratt Finally Admit They're Awful People

On Aug 01, 2011

All good things must, it would seem, come to an end. In a recently-published interview with The Daily Beast's Kate Aurthur, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have finally admitted to all the fakeries and f*ckeries they've been accused of over the years.

Now, I don't know sh*t about The Hills or The City or whatever show they ended up on. I hate celebu-culture and the concept of celebrity in general, but I have a 6:19 train to catch and if I want to watch Jeopardy when I get home, then you jackals are going to get some substance out of me.

Why are people even still talking about Heidi and Spencer (Speidi--right?)? Don't people realize that all of these antics were done in a half-assed, publicly sordid attempt at exploiting America's burgeoning celebrity fixation? I know at least some of you saw that episode of South Park with Britney Spears. They were right! We set people up to knock them down; we love to watch these celebs rise, only to see how far they can fall. I'm still waiting for someone to knock that little tw*t Bieber off his high horse, and it'll happen, you mark my words. Honestly, though, and let me wax philosophical here: we all love to project. It's, like, a basic facet of the human condition, that we take everything we love, hate, wish for, and try to avoid in ourselves and delude ourselves into seeing these things in other people. That wasn't Speidi on screen, in the tabloids, whoring for the cameras--that was us. We saw in them everything we see, be it subconsciously or literally, in ourselves. And it's not cool. At least, I don't think it's alright. It's an existential delusion, it's the same reason why love can't be said to exist, because when we love (or hate, for that matter) we are projecting our wants, fears, desires, secrets, etc, onto another person and when you get those projections back, when you're robbed of those pseudo-realities, what do you have? You've got nothing.

So no, I don't give a f*ck about Heidi and Spencer, how awful they are or appear to be, what the truth is behind them; I care that the deliberate self-delusion and celebrity obsession that are so terribly prevalent in this country have built up so strongly as to create an impasse between normal people and the issues about which they should actually be concerned. Jeez, I can't believe people actually care about this crap. Go read a book.

Here's Kate Aurthur's tell-all article. Let me know whatcha think.
