Al Roker interviews Speidi
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt otherwise known as the newly coined name “Speidi” appeared wherever they could this week to whine about being stuck with D-listers who were “dragging down their fame” on the reality show “I‘m a Celebrity get me out of here.” For those of you who like me never watched the show they were on and off the show until their last and hopefully final departure.
One of their first stops on their “Whine Tour” was a Monday June 15th appearance NBC’s “ The Today Show”. Host Al Roker interviewed them asking a direct question on a lot of peoples minds Roker said he asked them if they were proud of they acted on the show?
Roker:
Are you proud of all this?
Heidi:” It was a very hard situation, I think when you go to the jungle..."
Roker interjected...” The answer to...Are you proud of this?”
Heidi: ” I am proud of....”
Roker: “Of the way you guys behaved on this program.”
Heidi: " I mean I am not ashamed,I don’t think anything was wrong with it.”
Roker: “ Are you proud of it?”
Heidi: “ Sure”
Sources say afterwards Heidi has claimed “Roker attacked me” and that “he dislikes women”. Spencer Pratt has also said publicly that “ It was a good thing I was saved by Jesus, cause a couple of weeks ago I would have ripped his head off for talking to my wife like that.”

On “The Today show” Tuesday June 16th, Roker along with co host Meredith Viera, and two entertainment experts were discussing the Speidi interview, showing the clip to viewers again.
Viera: Laughed...” So Al, are you proud”
Roker: “ Yes I am” I believe I asked what alot of people wanted to know.
And if he ( Pratt) tried to come across I would have dumped him like a bag of dirt.”
I guess we all know what Roker thinks about Pratt now. So much for the news being impartial, although I can’t say I blame him.

Today show Entertainment expert Andy Cohen said he ran into them as he put “Weirdly in all their “Aryan- ness” in the elevator at 30 Rock.” He confirmed Heidi was saying Roker doesn't like women. Roker defended himself saying during his career he has interviewed hundreds of women and never had a complaint.
Roker: ” They are so unused to people actually asking them a real question, they didn’t know how to handle it.
Viera: “We elevate these people to celebrity status, and then we are surprised when they act the way they do...”
Roker: “ But there are celebrities who come on...”REAL CELEBRITIES” who have actually done something...and they act civil.”
Viera: “ Haven't we lost touch with what celebrity means? It doesn’t mean anything anymore.”
Cohen: “ YES, There are so many outlets for people to be celebrities from Youtube to a million cable channels, that it’s lost some of it’s punch.”
I doubt the "Speidi" duo would agree with that last statement as they headed to their next stop on ABC’s “The View” .
Host Barbara Walters asked Pratt " Do you really believe you are the biggest celebrity in the world?" Pratt went on to tout that Obama is tied with “ Speidi”, and the only thing keeping them tied is the Whitehouse. He went on to say if he and Heidi lived in the Whitehouse they would be number one.
When prodded further about “I‘m a Celebrity get me out of here” they claimed they had no idea what they were getting themselves into, and had never read the contracts.
The View Co-host Whoppi Goldberg apparently had enough and had to get her two cents in.
Goldberg:
“Can I tell you something..can I just say it right now...As much business as you guys have done...You with the hair spray and you with the cleaning stuff and everything that you're doing. Heidi immediately sprayed her hair with as she exclaimed “My dry shampoo!). Talk about “get a room”... how about leave the dry shampoo in your dressing room.
Goldberg continued : “You better get yourself together or your gonna be in the street.”
Pratt became very defensive, but Goldberg kept on” No you're not gonna be in jail, if you can’t answer these questions about “ Yes I signed it , I signed it cause I wanted to do it, or yes I did this because I wanted to do it.” Or no I didn’t, you're gonna to have to take responsibility . You’re too old now ...see last year it was cute. Now you're adults.” Some might want to debate that last thought.

Fido Thanks for reading and posting,
I apologize for my typing mistake.
The program we use here for publishing
is a MUCH SMALLER FONT than what YOU see.
Mistakes happen, and I am happy to try and correct them :)
"Today show Entertainment expert Andy Cohen said he ran into them as he put “Weirdly in all their “Aryan- ness” in the elevator at 30 Rock.”
Isn't that racist? Why did Andy Cohen say that? Imagine if someone said "Andy Cohen in all his Jewishness"? That is racist, even though I don't like Spencer and Heidi THAT is racist.
Got something to say?
