Heidi and Spencers second wedding is fake too & they cant sell the photos
Saccharine couple Heidi and Spencer of The Hills are getting married this weekend with a second US wedding to follow their Mexican commitment ceremony that wasn’t legally binding stateside. The only problem is that they haven’t obtained the necessary license to make this second wedding legal either despite filming scenes at a court house for their MTV reality show. Their wedding this weekend won’t be legal either, according to In Touch:
This time… they’re filming the new phony ceremony for the series finale of The Hills. “It’s all set up by the producers of MTV to get people to watch,” says a source. “It’s just a plot line. They’re not really getting married, of course.”
The over-the-top wedding will take place on April 25 at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Pasadena, Calif., on a closed set with the entire Hills cast in attendance…
Though Heidi and Spencer’s nemesis Lauren Conrad will not be in the wedding, In Touch can confirm exclusively that she will make an appearance. “They want Lauren to do something dramatic,” the source says.
The couple agreed to another wedding in the hopes that it will land them a spin-off reality show, the source adds…
“Spencer and Heidi are so greedy for fame that they’ll do anything for it…
“They would have a fake baby if people would watch them on T.V.”

What’s more is that no magazine was willing to shell out the money they demanded for exclusive rights to the wedding photos. There’s just not enough interest in the couple and we can rest assured that we won’t have to see their phony smiles at the grocery checkout aisle for a whole week. The whole thing In Touch mentions about Lauren Conrad showing up is up to question, though, as other sources report that Lauren already filmed her scenes ahead of time because she couldn’t deal with going to the wedding. She also told David Letterman last night that she wasn’t going and joked that “my ticket is currently on eBay”:
Even though the new season of “The Hills” was watched by nearly 3 million people and the couple has been a newsstand success in the past, no magazine snatched up exclusive rights to photos for their wedding this weekend.
Why? No one weekly was willing to spend the cash the couple wanted. In tough economic times, not just any celebrity can command big bucks, and the couple could theoretically make more money by offering the photos to all the weeklies instead of just one.
“The total number that (Montag and Pratt) used to get from exclusive photos is down. It’s sometimes better to go all round with the deal and ensure you make money and get exposure, particularly when television shows are involved,” said In Touch’s Editor in Chief Richard Spencer.
The couple didn’t comment on their strategy, but a source close to them said that now that everyone’s watching their bottom line, there was no bidding war to drive up the price, and this all-around deal was the best way to make a buck in tough times.
“They’d rather be on page 50 of Us, People, In Touch or Life & Style than be on the cover of a magazine like OK! that isn’t going to sell. They need to make money, and so does the magazine. The formula is changing,” said the source.

Maybe Heidi and Spencer’s dreams of a follow-up reality show will similarly be dashed by lack of interest. We have enough photos of this couple posing, kissing, fawning all over each other. What’s the difference if they’re in formal wear instead of jeans? Who really cares if they even have a real baby?
