The Hills stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag – "Speidi" for short or for tabloid headlines – are not above seeking the spotlight, they happily admit, and consider themselves a new brand of entertainers.

"Anybody who wants to promote our brand, negative or positive, give me a call," Mr. Pratt tells the Los Angeles Times. Adds Ms. Montag: "Obviously we're entertainers. We are trying to entertain in every aspect of our lives – whether it's on the show or in the tabloids."

It's a full-time job. "Every hour," says Mr. Pratt. "Every different magazine, every blog text, like, 'We heard this, we heard this.' ... On every site, in every magazine, they need content."
