Spencer Pratt Has Heidi Montag Under His Thumb

SLIPPERY reality “star” Spencer Pratt continues to have a Svengali-like grip on surgically enhanced girlfriend Heidi Montag. Pratt, known best for feuding with Lauren Conrad on MTV’s “The Hills,” is now Montag’s manager. He not only produced her horrendous album, he shot the videos as well, to ensure he alone gets any money from the bottled blonde’s efforts. Pratt is also in talks with producers at a rival network for their own reality show centered on the couple’s lives - and Pratt is in charge. “I overheard them talking with the producer but he would not let [Montag] speak,” said a Page Six spy who saw the duo at Electronic Arts’ party for its video game “Burnout Paradise” at One Sunset in LA last Tuesday. “He was talking about opportunities for them and candidly milking every ounce of press at the expense of Heidi. Meanwhile, she looked out of it and stared at the ground while chewing on her gum and let her boyfriend do the speaking for both of them.” The couple then sat in a corner booth playing each other on the “Burnout Paradise” video game for two hours and sipped champagne.
