Spencer Pratt: John McCain Is Helping Us Go To Iraq

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, star of MTV's "The Hills" reality show, sat down today's "Extra".

Montag, whose late stepbrother served 3 years in Iraq and Afghanistan (he recently died falling off a roof in Colorado), is planning a trip to perform for American troops stationed in the Middle East. Heidi says, "My brother was an airborne ranger in Afghanistan and Iraq. It's very important to me and important to Spencer to support the troops and go over there."

Montag also talked about her budding friendship with presidential hopeful Senator John McCain's daughter, Meghan, commenting, "She's very sweet. We have a lot in common." The pair were photographed last week dining together in Los Angeles.

But how will they get to Iraq? Spencer Pratt said, "I think Meghan McCain is helping organize Heidi and our Iraq trip. Her dad definitely has some pull with the military. I think she's going to put that together for us."

Back in April John McCain called Montag a "talented actress" after she said she planned to vote for the Arizona senator.

I hope McCain doesn't confuse this with "this kid wants to sign up..." and *poof* sure 'nuff, the kid's deployed as a soldier. Thats a reality show alright.

[joeyp404]

And this is awful how? So, someone wanting to support the troops is all of a sudden vilified.

What would Ann-Margret do?

[incontempt]

why, funny you should ask..... she would reroute a military flight and manpower to escort a few civilians for a fun filled round trip to camp iraq...probably costing millions....of course she would.

[mexamerican]

uh, if those two twits want to go to iraq, why the hell don't they enlist? i'd love to see both of those morons in uniform--whoever the hell they are.

[bushbehindbars]

You're an idiot. In what way does this 'support' the troops?

[joeyp404]

They want to perform for the troops. Maybe you'd be happier if they went soliciting votes for O.

[DHC]

Ann-Margaret has talent. She wouldn't need permission from anyone but the troops.

[BlackJAC]

It's awful because Heidi & Spencer (aka He Of The Creepy Flesh-Colored Beard) are reality television poseurs who do little more than serve as fodder for Joel McHale and the gang at THE SOUP. Flip on E! Friday night at 10 PM ET and you'll see for yourself.

[jwatso7]

Yeah, and a squirrel ran through my yard today. It's not news either.

[oneofsixbillion]

Call me "vapid", but, I think our troops would find this hella sick ass y'all! Lipsinking (can't sing), dope choreography (awkward), sick threads (trash)! What more could they want? Keep the troops in Iraq until Meghan signs the deal. Come on people's, its important y'all! Prepare their rooms for rehab now.

[JaseAllen]

Yeah, that's all the soldiers need, more vain, superficial, and out of touch pratts (no pun intended) to look after. They must get enough of that with the politicians looking for a photo op. If you want to support the troops, either give them a real purpose and proper equipment or sent them home!

[TXOBAMAGIRL73]

Can somebody tell me what they are going perform a scene for the Hills..My word what is this world comming to a screeching halt.

[luvangelHussein330]

If this is a reality show...how is she a good actress...and what is her talent again?!

[geha714]

You wanna go, fine. Just don't come back.

[BWonka]

So why don't these 2 enlist? Or can't they pass the required IQ test?

[totaldisbelief]

Tragically laughable
Who books these "spots" for McCain??????

[DEl19713]

You can tell neither one of these wanna bee's are paying attention.

[devinsbuddy]

Perform?
Doing what for God's sake!
The women and men over there have more important concerns than a couple of snot nosed kids with ABSOLUTELY no marketable skills! Gimme a frickin' break! And please don't waste the skills of our troops protecting these two.

[DEl19713]

These rich wannabees dont see nothing wrong for the war for oil

[danoj]

First it's not war for oil, and even if it was why not just pump our own then we wouldn't have to worry about it. Second The troops appreciate people coming over and entertaining them. They are in a pretty high preasure gig in Iraq / afgahnistan, and these people brake that up a bit for them.

[mexamerican]

hey genius, any oil pumped in the u.s. goes on the world market. get it? we don't get to keep the oil just because it was pumped here. it's called capitalism. no wonder this country is so effed w/ so many uninformed jackholes running around.

[BrettnCalgary]

Not war for oil? You are seriously misinformed, the whole western presence in the middle east is about oil. I mean, really, wtf could be more obvious? You need a new talking point generator, maybe a 2008 model to replace your 2005.

[1differentdrummer]

Wow, where to start? Umm, what does that post mean?

[delfinajones]

Heidi and Spencer should enlist.
Seriously- who is advising John McCann to get involved with these sad reality TV wannabees. Is this his attempt to be hip? Heidi and Spencer are a joke.
