LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Spencer Pratt claims an MTV producer believed in a “Snookie effect”, and asked Spencer Pratt to punch his sister Stephanie Pratt, on air for The Hills. Spencer Pratt eventually never punched Stephanie. But in a news interview, Pratt is swinging back at the producer he claims wanted to deliver TV rating with a punch.

In a news interview published this weekend, Spencer Pratt details his final season for MTV’s The Hills. He claims that his life was changed after a producer named Sara Mast had an alleged conversation with him. Pratt claims that Mast allegedly told him to punch his sister and fellow cast member, Stephanie Pratt, on air. Why? Pratt said that Mast called it the “Snooki effect”.

” ‘Her exact quote: ‘That Snooki effect,’ ‘ Spencer said, referring to a Jersey Shore episode in which cast member Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi was hit by a fellow bar patron.” MTV, Mast, and the Hills creator refused to comment about the report.

Pratt implied the conversation occurred in spring 2010. In its second season, Jersey Shore’s highest numbers were 6.7. As of October 2010, Jersey Shore season 2 was averaging a 5.8 ratings share and 5.7 for P12-34. Season 2’s premiere drew a reported 5.3 million viewers and 5.1 for viewers 12-34. At the time, that number broke a seven year record last set by the premiere of season 2 of The Osbournes.

Heidi Montag next appears in “Famous Food” for VH-1.  At least some billboard advertisements for Famous Foods in West Los Angeles don’t feature Montag in the promotional picture.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Spencer Pratt’s claims about a Heidi Montag tape are inconsistent with Montag’s only claims about her health earlier this year. Spencer Pratt has told news that at least one tape has been recorded between him and Heidi Montag after her recent plastic surgeries procedure. But Pratt’s claim is inconsistent with Montag’s own claim about her condition at the time.

Pratt claims Montag had the ability to record a tape post surgery. But Montag told news at the time that she didn’t even have the ability to jog let alone hug people.

In April 2010, Heidi Montag told news at the time that she couldn’t even hug Pratt. “I’m very weird about hugging people now – [my body] is very fragile.” Montag added that she couldn’t jog either. By May 2010, Pratt and Montag had split.

If such a tape was recorded by Pratt and Montag in the month of April or earlier, it would seemingly contradict Montag’s own statements about her health at the time.  This would not be the first time that news questioned Montag’s comments post surgery. In April, while claiming she couldn’t hug people, Montag also claimed she had her back scooped out.  When Ryan Seacrest asked her what that procedure involved, Montag said “I actually didn’t know.” She went on to say she thought she was the first person to ever have a “back scooped” procedure. “I might be the first one to try it. It carves out your back a little bit” she then told US Magazine. She added she “had my waist cinched in on both sides.”

Pratt has yet to confirm if his alleged tapes features Montag before, with her whole back, and after with her back allegedly “scooped”.

In May, the relationship between Montag and Pratt deteriorated. Montag confirmed a professional split before an end in their marriage. “We are no longer Speidi but Spencer and Heidi”. “The time for change is now. Never mix business and pleasure. We are no longer Speidi but Spencer and Heidi.”  Last night, Montag tweeted she was simply “crying”. It’s a dramatic change from earlier this summer when she tweeted “Finally, the sun is out… … Swimming in my pool I love summer this is the first summer of my new life.”

LALATE (LOS ANGELES) – The Hills Finale airs tonight with split Heidi Montag loving life and Spencer Pratt saying he’s homeless. The Hills Finale tonight signals the end of one of the most successful, and certain lucrative, reality shows this decade. But in recent months, the Hills has also signified the end of marriage of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.

And despite the finale tonight, many cast members have said in recent weeks that they have not seen either Pratt nor Montag to personally confirm, or deny, whether their breakup is real.  Pratt reveals this week that he is without a home. This despite Pratt opened up his Pacific Palisades home to media just weeks ago.

Spencer tweeted recently “Booking my room at Roosevelt Hotel Hollywood now that I have no place to live I think I should just move in there today stay near the action”. The Roosevelt is the location of tonight’s finale afterparty.

In contrast, Montag tweeted that she is “Loving life” and “Finally, the sun is out!!!! Whooooo!!! … Swimming in my pool I love summer this is the first summer of my new life.”

Montag first announced her professional split from Pratt and the end of Speidi in March, stating she had hired Aiden Chase, a psychic “Hollywood’s Healer” and star of “Ancient Tomorrow”. She thereafter said she wasn’t hiring Chase but was divorcing Pratt.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt confirm news of their separation today. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have separated today after months of split and breakup reports swirled about the MTV Hills stars.

Here is the latest.

Speidi is no more, the separation of MTV’s most famous reality tv couple confirmed this weekend. Yet in March the couple told press that Speidi, as a business team, had ended also. Montag told local news at the time that she and Pratt were no longer together for employment projects.

Montag said that the two were still in love but no longer in business together. “We are no longer Speidi but Spencer and Heidi”. “The time for change is now. Never mix business and pleasure. We are no longer Speidi but Spencer and Heidi.”

Montag and Pratt’s antics made commercial print success in 2009 landing countless magazine covers through over the top, staged photo-opps. But by fall 2009, public sentiments towards the stars changed. And with that, so did Montag’s appearance, causing a family dispute between her mom and husband at their home in Pacific Palisades section of West Los Angeles this spring.
