Heidi and Spencer speak out, oh gooodeeeee!

I’ve seen the trailer for the third season of The Hills. Clearly, you’ll be appearing on the show, despite your strained relationship with [star] Lauren [Conrad]. But the fans still want to know if there will be two separate storylines—one yours and one hers.
Spencer Pratt: We have nothing to do with the editing. It’s a surprise for us as much as the audience.
Heidi Montag: More for us.
There’s a lot of debate about whether or not the show is scripted.
H.M.: There are storylines…
S.P.: There are story editors. It’s that simple. Look in the credits—there are story editors.
Are you frustrated with the way you’ve been depicted?
H.M.: It’s a 22-minute show about seven people. It doesn’t really capture the essence of who you are. It’s not like reality TV is the place to portray yourself.
S.P.: Especially when Lauren, your supposed nemesis, is the narrator, and it’s her show. It’s a very difficult situation. But I wasn’t surprised, because once you go against L.C., the star of the show, you’re bound not to [come off] looking good, because she’s their honeybee. You have no chance. Thing is, I wasn’t Heidi’s boyfriend when they put that boyfriend connotation on my name. I was very single, she was single. They just didn’t show her going out on her dates.
When you see yourself portrayed in a negative way, do you take it with a grain of salt?
H.M.: Yeah, you can’t take it too seriously. It’s the entertainment business. We’re here to entertain people, and we get that.You were in a fashion show over the weekend and are planning on getting into the Industry.
Will that play a role in this Hills season?
H.M.: No, The Hills doesn’t follow any of that. We have our own lives, and then they film whatever.
Anything you can tease to in general?
S.P.: Heidi’s music career…
H.M.: Yeah, my music is pretty much it.S.P.: We’re working with David Foster on a pop album.
There have been rumors of a Newlyweds spinoff show. Are you interested in making one?
S.P.: We like to keep all of our options open.
H.M.: We’re just trying to explore.
Is MTV talking to you at all?
H.M.: No...no comment really.
