Spencer Pratt: I Wanted Heidi To Divorce Me

Spencer Pratt opens up in a surprisingly candid interview about how he and Heidi are broke and practically homeless after they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to "buy fame", how he sees no future for himself, and how he urged Heidi to divorce him to save his career.

Spencer tells ET:

"We felt the fleetingness of 15 minutes of fame so we were trying to buy, like, … Let's buy fame. Like if we could eat at this restaurant all the time, maybe we'll get seen with Mel Gibson or these bigger stars. So you know, we knew our positions, so we were having basically to buy into a tax bracket we didn't belong into."

"I know it's the dumbest thing ever spending money on things. But it's like, if we didn't, we wouldn't have got this post, or we wouldn't have got this picture in the magazine, and then we wouldn't be famous at all, and that's the only thing we had going for us at the time."

"I would say we were spending more than $100,000 [each month] on clothes for sure. And we would only wear them once."

"For me to think I was going to be famous and continue at that level of income on a steady basis, was … naive, egotistical, and just foolish. I can't have a long-range plan because I'm so hated I don't see anywhere I could go."

"I'm not afraid, I know it's a reality if we didn't have my dad letting us live in his guesthouse, Heidi and I would have no place to live so we would be homeless and we couldn't afford [to live] anywhere."

"As much as I love her, I was like, 'You need to divorce me to save any chance of a career, a business for yourself.' It's not fair for this sweet, innocent Heidi Montag to be part of Speidi. So really I was trying to divorce Speidi … ’cause you know I know I have no future career on camera, on TV, but Heidi, still to this day, I think could be the biggest actress, TV star, movie star, singer — she was born for it."

"I became this hated to buy things that I don't even have anymore. So I have nothing to show for it. Thank everything that Heidi has stayed with me through all of this because I wake up and say, 'At least I have Heidi. [That's] the greatest thing out of all of this.'"

Wow, he said a mouthful. Do you think this is the "real" Spencer or has he just decided to work this new more sympathetic angle to get some of his fame back?

Christina's Getting "Help Through" Hard Times

Ain't no other man like...Matthew Rutlet?

Weeks after her announced split from husband Jordan Bratman, Christina Aguilera has been seeking comfort in a brand-new guy: Matthew Rutlet, a set assistant whom she met while making her new film Burlesque.

"They've been on a few dates over the last few weeks," a source tells Us Magazine.

Indeed, despite his attempts to hide, Rutler was photographed escorting Aguilera, 29, on a Friday double date at L.A.'s Soho House with Nicole Richie and Joel Madden.

But, cautions the source: "It's not serious. She's not looking to jump into a relationship right now. She has a lot going on with the movie and is focusing on spending as much time as possible with Max."

Wed in 2005, the singer and producer Bratman, 33, have a two-year-old son, Max.

Aguilera and Rutlet befriended one another while making Burlesque, and reconnected after her September separation from Bratman.

"He's been really good for her and is helping her through this diffcult time," the source explains.

Christina Aguilera: December Issue Of Redbook

Christina Aguilera dropped heavy hints about personal drama in a Redbook magazine interview conducted just weeks before her announced split from music producer husband Jordan Bratman.

"Men aren't as strong and capable as we are," Aguilera, 29, says in the mag's December issue. "We're machines."

In the chat, the singer was effusive about son Max, 2, but vague and hesitant about Jordan, whom she married nearly five years ago. Alluding to emotional upheaval, she said she was eager to get back in the music studio and "pour my heart out and be able to release anything I'm going through."

The "You Lost Me" singer also hinted to Redbook that she was feeling restless. "My life is cyclical," she said. "I'm not a 9-to-5 woman who has the same kind of lifestyle for years on end. I couldn't do it. I need the spontaneity, that thrill of change. That's part of how I get inspired."

One big fan through thick and thin? Close pal and fellow mom Nicole Richie, who gushed to Redbook: "It's very clear through Christina's music what a strong woman she is...But to watch her as a mother only skyrockets the respect I have for her. She is the woman who's recording until 4 a.m. and up at 7 to be with her son. Her dedication to Max is incredible."

After news of her breakup made headlines, Aguilera opened up some more to the mag, and thanked her close friends. "There have been a lot of tears and sadness," she said of her new single life. "It's impossible to redefine yourself and your life overnight. Thankfully, I have my mom and a small group of close friends who are there for me 24/7 and whom I can trust and depend on. On days when it feels impossible to even get out of bed, much less function as a mother, their support and encouragement have kept me moving forward."

The December issue of Redbook hits stands November 16.

Christina Aguilera: Split Caused Tears & Sadness

Christina Aguilera is relying on her mother, her son and her closest friends to help her through the emotional turmoil of her divorce from Jordan Bratman.

"It's not easy, and there have been a lot of tears and sadness. It's impossible to redefine yourself and your life overnight," the pop star, 29, tells Redbook in its November issue, on newsstands Nov. 16.

"Thankfully, I have my mom and a small group of close friends who are there for me 24/7 and whom I can trust and depend on. On days when it feels impossible to even get out of bed, much less function as a mother, their support and encouragement have kept me moving forward."

Also, her son Max, who will be 3 in January, remains a source of joy – and someone she can focus on. "Thankfully, I have Max to keep me on a sane path," Aguilera says. "His needs and happiness are my top priorities, and my biggest concern is to protect him and make him feel safe."

Asked about the details of her split, she adds: "Out of respect for my husband, I prefer to keep the specifics private. Right now, I'm just trying to figure out how to make it through each day."

Christina Aguilera Leaning On Samantha Ronson

Christina Aguilera is divorcing Jordan Bratman, and Radar Online has learned the superstar turned to gal pal Samantha Ronson for emotional support.

"They've known each other forever and they're good friends," a source close to Christina told Radar Online of her relationship with the famous Hollywood deejay who has been the on-again, off-again girlfriend of Lindsay Lohan.

"Samantha was in Mexico with Christina for Nicole's [Richie] bachelorette party."

Christina and Sam grew closer as her marriage crumbled, and eventually Jordan found himself unnecessary in his wife's life.

As Radar Online was first to report, this isn't the first time Christina has turned to a woman - according to a source Christina has approached women while at gay bars in Los Angeles.

One woman who was approached told Radar Online that Christina sent over her bodyguard to see if she was interested. When the woman, who didn't want her name used, looked over, Christina waved and smiled.

"The bodyguard told me it was an understanding within their marriage and that she brings girls home and Jordan's okay with it," said the woman who was approached by the Dirrty singer while at The Abbey.

"I met Christina in the bathroom and she told me she liked to play with girls... I ended up not pursuing anything with it because the situation just seemed so weird to me, but Christina was definitely looking to hook up."

Christina has been open about her affection for the ladies telling Out magazine in May, "My husband knows that I get into girls. I think it's fun to be open and play."

After nearly five years of marriage Christina, 29, filed for divorce on October 14 from her husband Jordan, 33, citing "irreconcilable differences."

Christina asked for joint legal and physical custody of their two-year-old son Max and for any spousal support to be terminated.

"My understanding was that Jordan wasn't involved when she brought girls home," a source said.

A rep for Christina had no comment when contacted by Radar Online.

Inside Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt's Scam

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag continue the spectacle that is their relationship and Radar Online has exclusive details from inside their publicity-driven scam.

From the video of Spencer and Heidi Montag in Costa Rica, to Spencer shopping a sex tape of Heidi, to Heidi sobbing hysterically over the sex tape she doesn’t want released, there is plenty of plot to their story line.

The thing is, it’s all a scam.

First Lie: Spencer is blackmailing Heidi so he can release a sex tape of her.

Multiple legal experts have confirmed to Radar Online that all parties involved in a sex tape MUST consent to the release or else it is a slam-dunk lawsuit for the party that didn’t consent. If the tape is released, the party who hasn’t agreed can sue for invasion of privacy and a host of other legal issues. And they are nearly guaranteed of a huge court victory.

That’s the dirty little secret with celebrity sex tapes – the celebrity has to agree to its release and they always profit off the sales. Paris Hilton still gets a cut of her tape’s profits as does Kendra Wilkinson. Kim Kardashian settled for $5 million after dropping her lawsuit.

So without Heidi’s consent Spencer can’t release the tapes.

Second Lie: Heidi and Spencer have been staying apart.

As Radar Online exclusively reported, Heidi, Spencer and Cougar Zank have been living in the same house in Malibu all summer. Also, the separation and then divorce papers that Heidi filed didn’t even have the same wedding date on them.

Third Lie: Heidi is hiding out because she wanted to stay out of the limelight to focus on other things, like her movie career.

Radar Online has learned exclusively that the reason Heidi has been hidden in the past months is because she has been advised that photos sales of her would garner more income if the market wasn’t saturated with images of her.

Radar Online has also learned that there will soon be a barrage of Heidi photos to capitalize on the current attention focused on her and Spencer as their relationship dramas take another turn.

Speidi Divorce to Be Finalized on Valentine's Day

How's this for romantic: barring any dramatic reconciliation, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt's divorce will become final on February 14, 2011.

Jodeane Farrell, Montag's lawyer, confirmed to TMZ that Pratt has signed paperwork confirming that he was served with divorce papers on August 13.

According to California law, Montag must wait 6 months after Pratt was served in order for their divorce to be finalized -- thus making next Valentine's Day their official split date.

Pratt, 26, wed Montag, 23, in April 2009 in a ceremony taped for The Hills, the MTV reality show that made them stars.

Montag filed for divorce on July 30, citing irreconcilable differencea. Of his wife's move, Pratt quipped to Us Magazine, "Heidi couldn't handle King Spencer's fame so she got out of the marriage."

A source close to the couple told Us that Montag initiated the split because "she had lost contact with her friends and family."

On the day Pratt was served with his wife's divorce papers, she wrote optimistically on Twitter: "cleaning house and getting rid of my old life, it feels good to live fresh."

Heidi Montag Can't Get Her Story Straight

It seems like the truth about the Speidi split might never be revealed, but if you think their relationship is a sham you might be right. The smoking gun? Heidi Montag can’t keep her stories straight – she doesn’t even know when she married Spencer Pratt!

In the documents that Heidi filed for her divorce on Friday she listed her marriage date as 5/25/09. Problem is, when she filed for separation from Spencer on June 8, 2010 she hand wrote her marriage date as 4/25/09.

How exactly do you get your wedding date wrong? Perhaps she got confused with the documents. Was she writing down the real date, the date the wedding aired on The Hills or just any old date she felt like putting down?

She doesn’t even list her separation date as the same as when she filed in June. On those documents she listed 6/8/10 as the date she separated from Spencer, but on the documents filed Friday she wrote her date of separation as 5/25/10.

Breaking up is hard to do, but it is even harder when you’re not even sure when you got married.

Spencer Pratt: Why Heidi Filed for Divorce

Heidi Montag filed for divorce from Spencer Pratt Friday in Santa Monica, Calif. Superior Court.

Montag, 23, cites irreconcilable differences in her petition. She filed for legal separation from Pratt in June.

Audrina Patridge On Heidi & Spencer's 'Divorce'

Star of The Hills, Audrina Patridge, says she and the cast think Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt's divorce is a publicity stunt.

The 25-year-old is in the UK to chat about the MTV reality show which comes to an end in a few weeks.

The couple, who are also known as Speidi, have not been seen on screen for a few weeks and Audrina says they have pretty much locked themselves away:

"I think they're still together at the moment. They just disappeared. I don't know what they do. None of us see them. None of us talk to them. They never go out of their house. So none of us really know what they're doing."

And when Audrina was asked if Heidi and Spencer's divorce was a publicity stunt, she replied: "We all think so."

The TV beauty also spoke of Heidi's plastic surgery. The 23-year-old recently had ten procedures in one day and Audrina remained diplomatic about her ex-friend's new look:

"That was her decision and she was set on it. She wasn't going to let anybody change her mind. She's happier with herself... that's what she says."

Spencer Pratt Chose Fame over Heidi Montag

Spencer Pratt always has some strange new ploy for attention up his sleeve – but not his split from wife Heidi Montag.

That, he says, despite the fact that nobody has seen divorce papers and family and Hills castmates are skeptical, is the real deal.

"We love each other but I'm a famewhore and I'll never grow out of it," Pratt tells PEOPLE. "[Heidi] knows that and doesn't want that."

"I want every kind of press," he says. "She believes in bad press. There's no way my love for fame and her love for puppies will ever work out successfully. She just wants to hike and hang out and be calmer."

As for their infamous "Speidi," moniker, Pratt says his estranged wife "doesn’t want to be Speidi anymore. She wants to be Heidi Montag: the sex symbol."

"She thought I'd burn out of this, but no, I'm still the same Spencer who went on The Hills to be famous," he says. "I still need to do stunts and take cues from Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise."

Pratt, who mentions he and his ex are "friendly," says Speidi trouble is nothing new. "It's been a constant battle since we got married," he says. "She would be like, 'Are you really Tweeting that? Are you really doing that?'"

So what's next for the limelight-loving reality personality?

When fighting cyber crime fell through, Pratt says he decided to grow a beard and turn to art. "I'm switching it up," he says. "I've already gone for the blonde, spiky-haired look. Now I'm going for the Hollywood producer look."

Continues Pratt: "I'm an artist now. I have an easel and everything. I'm going for an art show and a gallery."

Heidi Montag Files For Legal Separation

Heidi Montag is reportedly another step closer to getting the alone time (with Jen Bunney and the Shannon twins) she says she needs. Either that or she heard what I said about not believing anything until it was legal. I'd put money on the later assumption.

The reality star, 23, filed for legal separation from her G. I. Jackass husband Spencer Pratt at a Santa Monica courthouse on Tuesday, listing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

But Montag did not file divorce papers. According to reports, filing for legal separation means the reality star’s earnings will become her separate property beginning on the date of separation, which she lists as June 8. The Hills star's papers do not list a lawyer. 

A spokesperson for the Santa Monica Courthouse was unaware of Heidi's visit this morning.

Heidi & Spencer "Laughing" Over "Fake" Split

Even Heidi's big sis, Holly, 26, twittered the couple are "liars."

The two are in publicity-seeking panic mode. "This breakup is the latest part of Spencer's master plan," another insider says. "There are no plans for divorce," says a source close to the couple, and Heidi's rep confirms no papers have been filed."

And Jenn Bunney hints that a Speidi reunion could happen on their new show. "That will be a big aspect of our show."

We're told Heidi -- pictured here in Malibu last Friday -- is looking for a new place to live ... in Malibu.
