Falling stars ... Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt. Out of money and famous for nothing more than being famous, the former stars of The Hills now find themselves largely unemployable since their MTV docusoap came to an end, reports The Daily Beast.
The couple, who, to avoid paying rent, now live with Pratt's parents, admit they went too far in chasing celebrity.

"What we learned is: you can be too famous... We were all getting paid to be people we weren't for so long that you stop - there's no line," Spencer says.Montag, who famously underwent 10 different plastic surgery procedures in a single day, has publicly expressed regret over her transformed physique, and she is no happier with the emotional artifice the couple parlayed in pursuit of headlines.
The couple now admits that their repeated break-ups and even their divorce were faked to add drama to The Hills.
Asked if they ever actually separated, Montag replied, "No. We've never been apart". But as Pratt explained, "We got so deep with how many storylines we had to do to continue the machine."
"Our quest for fame was a mistake," Pratt said. "That was the big thing I didn't get: reality TV is not a career."
Asked where the money went, Pratt replied that it was spent on manufacturing their ersatz television personae.
"Everything we were doing, we were buying props. I bought a big blue monster truck just to drive it on The Hills for an episode. Never drove it again."
As for the disbursement of the rest of their television income, Pratt estimated that the couple spent more than $2 million attempting to launch Heidi's pop career, and a million dollars on suits and clothes for him that he would "never wear again".
