As if there weren't enough problems in the Middle East ... TMZ has learned Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are about to get on a plane bound for Saudi Arabia!
Spencer tells TMZ, their bad ass friend -- MMA fighter "King" Kevin Casey -- will be throwing down at the Abu Dhabi Martial Arts Tournament on April 14 ... and they'll be ringside cheering him on.
Spencer adds, “Heidi and I are both so excited to visit the Middle East and even more thrilled to watch King Kevin Casey smash his opponents.”
According to Kikster, Jennifer Aniston is trying everything in her power to have Heidi Montag’s name axed from the guest list before Just Go With It’s red carpet premiere.
Montag has a cameo in the film, so why would Jen want her invitation taken away?
Apparently Jen doesn’t like how Montag conducts herself with the media, doing anything for attention, because that’s not how Jennifer made a name for herself.
A source tells the Daily Mirror; “Heidi is everything that Jen’s steered well clear of in her career – attention-seeking, an exhibitionist and totally lacking in class. She couldn’t stand The Hills. She thinks the girls have no talent and barely respect themselves.”
No word on whether or not she even has any influence on who they will invite, but we have a feeling if Montag has the smallest part in the film, she’ll be welcomed.
We assume the two did not shoot any scenes together.
Aspiring rapper Spencer Pratt was planning to pitch a song he wrote and performed about chicken wings to fast food chain KFC.
But, the former reality TV star shelved the idea after listening to the finished product -- unfortunately however, not before the song was 'leaked' all over the internet.
Always quick to spot a red hot promotional opportunity, animal rights group PETA heard about Pratt's aborted attempt to become a rapping KFC spokesperson and challenged the 27-year-old to cross over to the other side, by recording an anti-KFC rap instead.
In an email exclusively obtained by Radar Online, PETA Senior Vice President Dan Matthews writes: "Dear Spencer, Instead of rapping about KFC's wings, why not speak up for the chickens who are scalded to death for the colonel?
"As you can see in this video hosted by Pamela Anderson, chickens who are killed for KFC live their entire lives mired in their own waste and filth, only to be shackled upside down by their fragile legs and have their throats cut while they are still conscious.
After watching the video, please consider recording a PETA campaign tune for our Kentucky Fried Cruelty campaign. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Dan Mathews, Senior Vice President."
Meantime, it's somewhat of a turnaround for the animal rights activist group. They once lambasted avowed hunter Spencer and his wife Heidi Montag for choosing to buy a pure breed dog rather than adopt from a shelter.
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have been keeping a low profile lately – but you haven't heard the last of the dynamic duo.
A year after the debut of her album Superficial, Montag has released "Heartbeat," a synthesized dance tune.
"Touch me," she sings. "Let me know. Touch me. I don’t need. You enjoy myself. Enjoy myself to the music. Heartbeat."
As Montag, 24, told PEOPLE, "I put my heart into this music ... I want to become a galaxy star."
Not one to miss out on the fun, Pratt, 27, has a couple tunes of his own that have just hit cyberspace. Shortly after his chicken wing-themed jam, "Ain't No Thang," made its way to the public, the former Hills star has also come out with "Go to Work," his rap featuring Ya Boy and Pete G. Check it out below.
Taking a break from whatever the heck she does all day, Heidi Montag was spotted out and about in Los Angeles yesterday (January 26).
Greeting the paparazzi with a hopeful smile, the 24-year-old fromer reality TV star enjoyed an afternoon of window shopping sans her ever present hubby Spencer Pratt.
Heidi Montag was offered a spot on Dancing With The Stars, Radar Online has exclusively learned, but she was forced to turn it down due to contractual agreements she made when she signed up for The Hills.
Now, the 24-year-old former reality TV star may never get the chance to dance for the hit show, something she very much wanted to do.
"It was before her surgeries and so I'm not sure if she wants to risk it now," a source close to Montag told Radar Online exclusively. "She already took an elbow from a dancer on the set of her song, Overdosin', and she's scared of getting hurt."
Montag was first pitched by her agent to try to be the new host of the hit ABC dance show before Brooke Burke took the job in 2008, reveals the insider. She was then approached to be a contestant, but prior commitments with MTV led her away from the dance floor and in to the jungle for NBC's reality TV show, I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!
"She was devastated, she had even started training on the side," said the source.
Radar Online previously reported Heidi was struggling after going under the knife so many times and regretted the breast implant surgery that boosted her to a gigantic G-cup because of the pain it has caused her both mentally and physically.
"I have major anxiety about it. I was taking painkillers but they weren't working, so I stopped. It hurt either way," she told Life & Style Magazine last August. "I'm obsessed with fitness, but it's impossible to work out with these boobs. It's heartbreaking. I can't live an everyday life."
Heidi Montag was seeking perfection when she famously underwent 10 plastic surgery procedures in November 2009. Now a year later, Heidi reveals her operation-room battle wounds for the first time to Life & Style. "Parts of my body definitely look worse than they did presurgery," she told Life & Style exclusively at a photo shoot on Dec. 2. "This is not what I signed up for."
The former Hills star reveals a series of unsightly scars, red inflammation and uneven body parts including: a 2-inch-long raised blemish under her chin from her chin reduction, two caterpillar-size bald spots along her hairline from a brow lift, a horrifying jagged line behind her ears from having her ears pinned back, lumpy legs and four spots left on her lower back and below the buttocks from botched liposuction, a bright-red mark inside her right nostril, uneven boobs, a stretched mark on her chest and deep scars around her nipples from a second boob job.
"The big dark mark from my chin reduction is probably the most noticeable. But the absolute worst is on my breasts, and the scariest is below my butt cheek," Heidi tells Life & Style. "People have fewer scars from car accidents than I have on my body."
Heidi says the scars are constant reminders that she made a big mistake. "I would love to not be 'plastic girl' or whatever they call me. Surgery ruined my career and my personal life and just brought a lot of negativity into my world. I wish I could jump into a time machine and take it all back. Instead, I'm always going to feel like Edward Scissorhands."

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are so shameless (and broke), they're reportedly planning another fake in the New Year.
In the past few months they've realized that no one really cares about them anymore and their star power died out a while ago, so they're going to try to stage another breakup in hopes of getting some press or another magazine cover.
A source close to the situation said, “He’ll cook up these schemes as long as he and Heidi continue to be paid. They’re telling anyone who’ll listen how seriously they’re taking their marriage.
“Their every move is calculated to earn money. But what they don’t realize is people are sick of it.”
So expect to see paparazzi videos and photos of them getting into a screaming match in public followed by another "we're splitting" scheme.
My theory is after they fake the split they'll pretend Heidi is pregnant and now has to be a single mom. These two are so predictable!
Heidi Montag's estranged mother Darlene Egelhoff has blasted her daughter in a new post on her self-titled blog, telling her: “It's time you showed a little respect!”
Egelhoff wrote she'd "decided to leave Heidi out of my blog because I had heard second hand she was accusing me of 'using her.'" But mom says she believes her blog posts actually are benefiting Heidi “and if anything helping her image.”
Last month, Heidi’s husband Spencer Pratt labeled Egelhoff a “hypocrite” who was just interested in trying to piggyback off her daughter's fame.
In her response, Egelhoff tore into her daughter over their year-long estrangement.
"Heidi was so unbelievably cute and such an equal part of our family, all but the last year, that without her our history is incomplete," her mother wrote.
"She is a part of our family whether she acts like it at this time or not. If you don't like it Heids, call me, lets work it out, otherwise too bad.
"I'm the mother; it’s time you showed a little respect.
“I have made mistakes but none that warrant completely shunning your entire family as a result. If you want to receive grace you must give grace."
Pratt has insisted Egelhoff is insincere in her public attempts at reconciliation with Heidi.
"If I [needed] an acting coach, I would go to Darlene," Pratt said, adding she can cry on cue "like she's Julia Roberts!”
Heidi Montag’s life may have seemed charmed during her days on The Hills, but the reality TV star revealed a darker side of fame in a recent exclusive interview with Radar Online. Montag says that the attention can often be more overwhelming than flattering and she recently schooled herself in martial arts to learn ways to protect herself.
“I can’t afford security, so I practice self defense and chain punching,” Heidi explained to Radar Online.
Though she used to have a posse of bodyguards on hand, she and husband Spencer Pratt have fallen on learner times. “I have spent millions in security in the last 4 years because I had to take care of the cost all on my own. It’s crazy and it’s hard, but life is not always fair.
“I have had to change my life. I can’t afford to go out to the clubs anymore because the sort of protection I need can cost anywhere from 5 to 10 thousand dollars a night...when you travel it’s even worst, because you need to cover the guards travel, food lodging, etc., and pay them. That is actually where all my money went because safety is number one.”
Besides cutting costs, Heidi has enjoyed the burst of independence from her practice.
“It gives me a confidence I didn’t have before,” she added. “I am doing this self defense because it gives me inner strength, and I feel safe in my home. It’s a deterrent, but I know I can’t do what the body guards do.”
Heidi has been training to become a black belt in Wing Tsun with her trainer (SIFU) Michael Casey who explained that “the system is geared straight towards self defense, so there are no rules. Punches, kicks, knees, elbows, ground fighting, strikes to vital areas. Anything goes as the goal of the system is to stop an opponent.”
“It is scary to be out there without protection, people do follow me and you can never be to careful,” Heidi added.
“It’s overwhelming, and it’s most difficult when I’m in large groups of people.”
The beautiful reality star said that while it takes years to perfect the ancient Chinese martial arts form, she has been practicing for about 6 months and realizes she has a long way to go.
“I’m not ready to go out alone yet...I’m only 5ft 2inches tall and have a small frame so I understand I can’t completely do it alone. Which is why I don’t go out as much anymore.
“Half the reason I am laying low and staying to myself is because I don’t have that security like I used too, and you never can predict what will happen.”
Heidi Montag told ABC News she was addicted to plastic surgery after undergoing ten surgeries in a day this past January, and places the blame for the physical and emotional pain she suffered as result on the surgeon who performed the operations, the late Dr. Frank Ryan.
Montag, 24, told the network she did "not feel like I was prepared enough for" the surgeries, which she said left her feeling like she'd been "hit by a truck.
"Maybe I should have known," The Hills star said. "But how can you know when your doctor's saying, 'It's just a little of this, it's just a little of that'?"
Ryan tragically died at 50 this past August 16 when his Jeep tipped over the side of Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. At the time, Montag grieved her doctor saying, "He was an angel and changed my life and the lives of everyone he met," she Tweeted of Ryan August 17. "He was the most brilliant talented surgeon who will ever exist. Dr. Frank Ryan changed the world."
In the new ABC interview, however, Montag is singing a different tune, claiming the doctor misled her en route to the operating table.
"I definitely should have been way more informed," Montag said. "I think that doctors should really walk you through all aspects of it, not just the glamorous side of it. Doctors, it's like they're selling you cookies."
"I don't want the biggest boobs in the world and, to be honest, I would take them out and downsize them but I don't want to go under the knife again," she told the network. "I feel like I'm stuck with them now... sometimes I wish I could go back to the original Heidi."
The interview with Montag airs in a special titled Primetime: Celebrity Plastic Surgery Gone Too Far? airing at 10/9c Wednesday on ABC.
Heidi Montag is a publicity seeking opportunist who used the death of her plastic surgeon to try to stay famous, a close friend of Dr. Frank Ryan told Radar Online in a hard-hitting interview.
Responding to Montag’s recent comments on TV that Dr. Ryan misled her about her 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day, Dawn DaLuise told Radar Online: “She is desecrating his memory.” Dawn also told Radar Online that Heidi was “obsessed” with Dr. Ryan and he was forced to spurn her advances!
After his tragic death this summer Dr. Ryan has been fondly remembered by people close to him, but his most infamous patient had only bad things to say about him and his friends are furious about it.
Heidi trashed the dead surgeon in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight saying “It was a lot harder than I was led on by my doctor…I didn’t know how excessive it really was…and to the extent a lot of stuff.”
“Heidi Montag is taking advantage of Dr. Ryan’s death,” DaLuise, Ryan’s friend of 15 years, exclusively told Radar Online.
Dawn organized the packed memorial for the doctor on November 15, and she slammed Heidi’s motives for speaking ill of Dr. Ryan and not attending the memorial celebration his friends and family held.
“Her PR people and agents were weighing the options of her either attending the memorial service for him on Monday or going on TV and talking about him and I guess she decided to trash him instead of remember him,” Dawn told Radar Online.
“Heidi is just trying to stay famous,” she said of the reality star who recently admitted she and her husband Spencer Pratt, are broke.
Dawn said that Dr. Ryan told friends Heidi was obsessed with him after her surgeries.
“Heidi was fixated with Dr. Ryan. He told friends that she used to show up and try to talk to him all the time. She was obsessed with him and he spurned her advances,” Dawn said.
Dawn defended Dr. Ryan’s operations on Heidi, and said her claims of regret are now only for show. “She wanted bigger breasts right after the surgery and she kept going back to him to ask him for more. He did not instigate her surgeries, she insisted on everything.
Irate over the statements Heidi made, Dawn slammed the reality star’s tactics.
“Now that he isn’t here to defend himself she is vilifying him.”
Heidi Montag is speaking out about her plastic surgery nightmare - expressing her regret for undergoing ten proceedures in just one day and saying her doctor, the late Frank Ryan, misled her.
Montag- speaking to E.T. - said of the surgeries: "It's not who I am. It's something I did. It was a choice that I made, and I wanted other women and people to know, 'yeah, I have insecurities and so does everyone, and this is what I did, and I don't want to lie about it, and I don't want to cover it up. I don't like lying. It's just not who I am. In retrospect, I do wish I never would have said anything..."
When she was asked if she was happy with the after-result of her surgeries, Heidi said: "I wouldn't do it again... If I could go back, I'd wouldn't have had them..."
"It was a lot harder than I was led on by my doctor... I didn't know how excessive it really was.. and to the extent a lot of stuff."
"It was a lot .. it was a lot.. and I'm very thankful for how it turned out... It could have been disastrous." Could have been? Does Heidi not have a mirror?
Montag underwent ten surgeries in a single day last November. She had her breast implants increased to DDDs, a brow lift, a nose job revision, lipo on her stomach and thighs and a butt augmentation, among other things.
Montag has said she regrets one of the surgeries in particular - getting extreme breast implants. This past August, she said, in the wake of Ryan's death in a tragic car accident, she was looking for a new doctor to perform the procedure to reduce her breast size to a D or double D.
Montag has said the procedures have caused her excessive pain - both mentally and physically.
Heidi Montag revealed that Lauren Conrad tried everything in her power to get Heidi to leave Spencer Pratt at the alter back when they got married on April 25th, 2009.
Heidi spoke of this as Heidi and Spencer renewed their vows over the weekend without The Hills doing everything to get ratings with dramatic situations and crazy revelations.
Heidi and Spencer renewed their vows without everybody else and all the cameras who were covering their every move as they were getting married.
Heidi and Spencer are also said to be broke, having spent all their money on getting famous and too owing $2 Million in back taxes, plus living on a $400/wk allowance from Spencer's dad.
Speidi are unpredictable, but Heidi's rivalry and silence by Lauren Conrad has not changed in the very least, but Lauren stopping Heidi from taking the plunge tells us their might've been some BFF left in LC to Heidi.
There may have been a Mexican elopement and a lavish Hollywood ceremony in front of "The Hills" cameras, but Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have finally said "I do" for their first "real" wedding and ETonline Senior Editor Nicole Dabeau was exclusively there for their romantic nuptials!
Reality TV's most polarizing couple renewed their vows just before sunset late Sunday afternoon at a beachfront house in Southern, CA.
"[This time] it's just me and my bride on a little secret beach with nobody else and it's just about her," Spencer says. "Versus last time it was about everything else, it was about drama, it was about ratings."
Heidi adds, "It was about everyone but us, so this is really our first wedding about Spencer and I and our love. Now I feel like I can finally just be Heidi and just be in a marriage and just be a person. I’m just really enjoying every day."
The couple, who has gone public about being broke, had their dream wedding donated to them. Everything from Heidi's Jenny Yoo gown, which she picked out with the help of wedding stylist Anya Sarre, to Spencer's Rik Ducar tuxedo, to their four-tier, multi-flavored cake decorated with white chocolate seashells from Hansen's Cakes, and rings from Alan Friedman. They received a 50% discount on their flowers from Sky Flowers.
Since the Heidi Montag/Spencer Pratt sex tape is never going to see the light of day, a leading porn company is going after the next best thing ... a porn directed by Speidi themselves.
TMZ has obtained a letter sent by Vivid honcho Steven Hirsch, offering the couple the chance to get behind the lens. The idea, it appears, is to have the gruesome twosome helm skin flicks that will draw directly from the couple's own fantasies.
We're told both sides will get together in the near future and discuss the deal, and Spencer is definitely interested ... if the numbers are right.
That's a phrase that applies to almost anything Spencer is offered.
Heidi Montag’s mom, Darlene Egelhoff, has scoffed at her famous daughter’s love of five star hotels and spas on her website.
Egelhoff – who is currently working as a maid to help make ends meet after being forced to close her family run restaurant– made the observation on the latest entry on her blog.
The mother and daughter have had a strained relationship in recent years but that hasn’t stopped Egelhoff from posting childhood photographs of her family and talking about them openly.
The 47-year-old mother-of-three writes honestly in her “Metamorphosis of a Mother” blog about her life and struggles while residing in Colorado.
In the latest entry entitled “Time Stands Still,” Egelhoff writes of a dream she has of taking a remote outdoor trip with her three children Sky, Heidi and Holly.
She writes: “I allow my memories to come alive; I imagine Sky is wound up, lit, doing anything possible for Holly’s attention.
“Holly is laughing hysterically at everything he does, not wanting to get caught enjoying herself as she professes to hate these trips.
“Eventually she will be able to convince Heidi to do the same, preferring to sleep in five star Hotels with all inclusive spas as opposed to the dirt, I still don’t get it, I prefer the experience and solitude that comes with the dirt.”
Happily back together, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt feel that their rekindled marriage needs to set off on the right foot.
Trying to put their fake precious moments in the past, the former "Hills" stars have announced plans to renew their wedding vows.
Talking about the decision, Spencer told ET of he and Heidi's previous televised nuptials: "It was a movie, it was a script and it didn't feel right. No one in that building wanted us to get married. It was a nightmare."
Agreeing and expanding on her man's comments, Miss Montag chimed in to say: "We had just gone through so much crazy stuff personally and through our jobs and everything, so for me this feels like our first real marriage. Like our first restart. We deserve a second chance at our marriage and really having this moment and not being robbed of this."
Details regarding the vow renewals will be revealed on Entertainment Tonight this coming Monday, November 25th.
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?
It's been a year of challenges for Heidi Montag's mom Darlene Egelhoff.
Aside from her estranged relationship with Montag since February, the mother of three and her husband, Tim, also now face an immense financial hurdle.
Timberlines, a popular restaurant featured on The Hills and owned by Egelhoff and her husband in Montag's hometown of Crested Butte, Colo., recently went out of business after a 21-year run.
"We're a tourist town, so our business department was dependent on the economy," Egelhoff tells PEOPLE. "Business started declining. We tried to make the necessary adjustments, but we were just not quite in time. We were forced to close because of the economy."
Egelhoff admits her family hit such a financial low that, at the end of last year, she even borrowed money from Montag.
"The restaurant was struggling, and I was crying on the phone," Egelhoff recounts. "I fought it for so long, but finally, I said, 'Tax guys are on the way. It's $8,000.' Heidi very generously wired me a check that day. That kept the restaurant afloat for at least six months. It was so generous and helpful."
Egelhoff has now gone from owning a restaurant and making appearances on The Hills to cleaning houses for a living.
"The work is sporadic and competitive," Egelhoff says. "My work is not enough to pay the bills. We need other work immediately. [My son] Sky is eligible for free lunch at school and is proud to take advantage of it."
But despite the hardships she and her family have recently faced, Egelhoff maintains a positive outlook on life and on the possibility of rekindling the close bond she once shared with her youngest daughter.
"I have no regrets in life," she says. "I feel like God makes all things for good, and the most difficult situations we go through in life are opportunities. That's when we build character and strength – during difficult times."
