[The Limey] – I’m not the man’s biggest fan and I’ve never seen the show, but the way Spencer Pratt disappeared from MTV”s tiresome ‘reality’ slapstick ‘The Hills’ is too much to stand. The story, first floated by People said the 26-year old actor was leaving because he’d found “a new [...] Why all the ‘recycling’ stories are always from Fox is a very strange query – but here’s yet another: The suits in charge of ruining running Fox TV are now preparing a TV-reworking of the High School-angst movie, Heathers.
