Speidi: Masters of Celebrity Culture
Tue, 13 May 2008
Heidi and Spencer are in the news like crayzay lately. On the heels of their recent David Letterman and Tyra Banks interviews, the L.A.

If it's not The Hills, which racks in over 3.3 million viewers per week, then it could be Heidi's clothing line 'Heidiwood,' her music career, or simply getting paid the big bucks to show up at the little clubs.

Tell us what YOU think of H & S...
