Enough is enough. Or is it? How far would you allow your family members to go for fame? How about money? The child-less (so far) Pratt newlyweds are putting each other in harm's way.
According to a report by TMZ, the reason that Heidi Pratt was rushed to a Costa Rican hospital from the set of I'm a Celebrity -- Get Me Out of Here! yesterday, was because of convulsive vomitting. She was later diagnosed with a gastric ulcer. Anyone who watched the show will wonder if eating scorpions as part of the show was really the cause.
Heidi and her husband, Spencer Pratt brought drama to the show and began to control it. When they wanted back on, after quitting, twice, NBC exec Paul Telegdy showed his frustration when he was quoted about Heidi and Spencer as saying, "...They are now going to be examined, and their value system utterly deconstructed ...These people really are going to bare their souls." Subsequently, the Pratts were allowed back on the show and punished by spending a day and night inn a dark, creature contaminated hut where they were psychologically tried and given rice, beans and water, only. Did Telegdy get what he wanted?
According to TMZ, NBC execs tried to get Heidi to stay on the show after she got sick, and not get medical treatment. She refused. Spencer Pratt is allegedly planning to sue NBC over the show in spite of a signed contract to do the show.
Sounds like the NBC exec in charge of "alternative programming" and the Pratts have been going head to head in a dissing contest. Perhaps the better drama is off camera. Spencer is young and probably didn't watch the Robert Altman movie about the entertainment industry, The Player. Someone should tell him that he should learn not to take on studio execs. They play dirty.
That said, Spencer Pratt may end up a very powerful and rich studio head one day, himself. I can see it.
