Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt Explain Fake Divorce

No one was surprised when Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt reconciled two months after Heidi filed for divorce in July, as it was obviously a publicity stunt.
The couple now admits this. Hey, they needed the money, okay?
Having already confessed their financial problems to Life & Style this week, the gruesome twosome is coming clean about their plans to separate ... for cash.

WILL DIVORCE FOR CASH: Or at least pretend to. Spencer Pratt admits his split from Heidi Montag was one huge stunt. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

After they found out The Hills would not be renewed earlier this year, Speidi concocted a plan to get attention by divorcing shortly after their first anniversary.
The plastic pair says there was interest a series covering their split from British TV network ITV, so they dropped some cash to move their act to Costa Rica.
But that fell through, so they called off the divorce. Naturally.
"The divorce was real - just the idea behind it was different than most people's," Spencer Pratt says. "Divorcing was the only way to keep Heidi's career going."
"By this point, everyone already hates me so much. Look at Sandra Bullock - her divorce from Jesse James was the best thing to happen to her image."
Um, Sandra was already adored by the public. We see his point, but it's utterly ridiculous. In any case, he's worried about his future earning power, too.
"I can't make regular money because I was playing an unlikeable character on TV to keep my checks coming. Who wants to hire the jerk from The Hills?"
Or that girl with 290 plastic surgeries. Sorry, Heidi Montag.

Kat Dennings Nude Photo: Sexted, Leaked, Available Here

Thank you, Kat Dennings.
It's been awhile since we've had a sexting scandal, as our staff had started to wonder if Ashley Greene's August 2009 mistake would be the one from which fellow female celebs finally learned.
But Dennings, best known for her role in Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist, is here to remind us that even the best, sexiest intentions can go awry. That actress allegedly tried to send out a couple naked pictures of herself - only for the pesky Internet to get in the way and steal them.
Were they purposely leaked by someone trying to make a body name for herself? Is this even Dennings in the photo? Follow the jump and decide for yourself.

Happy Birthday, Kevin Jonas!

Send Kevin Jonas your warmest birthday wishes today, readers.

Suicide Suspected in Death of Julien Hug

Former Bachelorette contestant Julien Hug drove into the Californian desert and shot himself in the head, one of his friends says, citing FBI information.
"I'm completely in shock. When my FBI friends told me that Julien shot himself in the head, I fell to my knees in disbelief," Tom Ulrich tells Radar Online.
"This is a heavy day for us here," Ulrich says as he dined at Mille Fleurs restaurant in Rancho Santa Fe, which is owned by Julien's family, early Friday.

"With the wealth and privilege he had, I can't imagine why he'd take his own life. I can't believe this. Why would such a beautiful man take his own life?"
Everyone is just as shocked over Julien Hug's death, including members of The Bachelorette cast, such as star Jillian Harris and friend Kiptyn Locke.
"It's unbelievable and heartbreaking," an employee of his family's restaurant said. "You just never really know what goes on inside someones mind."
Hug's body was found was in Southern California Wednesday, 90 miles southeast of Los Angeles. His official cause of death has not been announced.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez: Spotted... Holding Hands!

It might be too soon to label them as Bomez or Sieber (Jelena, perhaps?), but Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were spotted at Menchie's this week, a frozen yogurt shop in Encino, California.
Innocent enough on its own? Maybe. But consider these facts:

• Justin told Ellen DeGeneres this week that Selena was a "sweetheart."
• When the pair exited the store, a witness said Gomez "grabbed Justin's hand to pull him out of the store and they held hands as they left."
• Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhall were also seen getting ice cream together, and we all know the rumors circulating around these two.

These are just a few basic points. Make of them what you will and then decide: Do you wanna see Bieber and Gomez as a couple?
