Is Speidi Rebelling?

Does anyone think that tweeting more than once every hour could mean that you have a problem? In the last 24 hours, Heidi Montag has posted 36 tweets -31 of which were God-related. The 5 that were not were to Miley Cyrus. Her husband, the infamous Spencer Pratt, has posted 23. Is this just normal Speidi behavior or could this be a rebellion against the Speidibans?

It all started with an E! Online poll in which 94% of viewers voted to cease all coverage of the twosome's shameless, self-promoting. Network executives say they will no longer cover "the misadventures of Speidi until the pair does something truly newsworthy."

Newsworthy.. what could Speidi possibly do that I would care about? According to Suzanne Kolb, general manager of E! Online, "If her album went to No. 1, that would be a newsworthy thing. If they were to become parents, we'd see that as worth noting. If something did happen to them, physically, we'd probably cover that." Well, I don't think we will have to worry about Heidi's album going No.1. Have you heard it, Mrs. Kolb?

"It was just a question of overexposure and wondering how much of the news about them was truly news or contrived. It just started to feel as if they had maybe jumped a shark in the past couple of weeks and it might be time to just take a rest," Kolb told the Daily News. "It wasn't really one particular instance, it just seemed like they'd reached a point where they crossed a line in the interest level of our audience."

The couples' rep told the Daily News that the duo was unable to comment on the story, as they were in Costa Rica, but "it's not worth a comment." But Speidi, if you comment, you will get some publicity, and isn't that your reason for living?

Since E! Online has confirmed the ban, several other online sites have chosen to do the same. Come on, Twitter, what are you waiting for?
