Spencer Pratt's LA Mayoral Bid Meets Real-World Hustle

Spencer Pratt, the Hills alum, is running for Los Angeles mayor and continues to blend his campaign with a reality-TV hustle: while a TMZ report about cameras following him in office has been denied, discussions of pitches and filming have lingered, with no contract signed. Pratt Productions already earns from dozens of clients, and outside-earnings rules under the L.A. City Charter could complicate post‑election opportunities, even as Heidi Montag and other sponsors loom in the background of his public life.

Gas Prices, Glamour, and Backlash: Duffy’s Family Road Trip Sparks controversy

Duffy defended the show on X, noting private funding through The Great American Road Trip Inc. and arguing the private promo conflicted with concerns about travel costs for ordinary Americans, as fellow officials like Pete Buttigieg and Chasten Buttigieg blasted the messaging.

Idol’s New Villain? Carrie Underwood Booed for a Gentle Critique

Carrie Underwood’s return to American Idol has made her the season’s target, with Hollywood Week audiences booing her mild critiques. The boos were not political (despite online guesses tied to her Trump inauguration performance) but a reaction to her comments about a contestant’s song choice and use of the band. She leaned into the moment—joking that boos feed her—while fellow judge Luke Bryan offered gentler pushback, highlighting Idol’s current dynamic where judges can become the crowd’s focal point.
