Spencer Pratt shares an emotional update on his Palisades home: 'I try not even to think about it'
At least 29 people have died in the Los Angeles area wildfires and nearly 150,000 residents were displaced or lost their homes in the deadly travesty.
Reality TV icon Spencer Pratt and his wife Heidi Montag's gorgeous Palisades house was one of the many buildings burned down back in January and the couple is still trying to move on in any way possible.
"This has been a really hard week. My parents just put their house, or the dirt that I grew up in, up for sale. I'm just realizing that Heidi and I probably need to that next. It just costs too much to rebuild in 2025. I try not even to think about it, like it didn't even happen. If you try to process it, it's just like spiraling out," Pratt tells PRIDE.

Although his personal life is taking quite a toll, Pratt is thankfully staying booked and busy by doing what he does best — competing on reality TV.
The star is joining other legendary personalities such as Omarosa, Kim Zolciak, and Cynthia Bailey on the new Hulu show Got To Get Out. Twenty contestants are trapped in a house and those that are strategic enough to escape have a shot at winning the grand prize of one million dollars.
"I should only be focusing on our current reality, which is being on Hulu! I took this show too serious. If anything, I wish I had not. I may have lost some years off my life in stress, anxiety, and lack of sleep. Obviously, I need a lot of money and success to rebuild my house."
Omarosa is also known for her unapologetic personality and wit, so The Apprentice star had no problem causing chaos right from the jump.
"My reputation precedes me. For one million dollars, they're lucky I didn't start backstabbing off the [bat]. I love Kim [Zolciak]. I'm glad I got to know her. She was going through a lot on the show. She was going through that divorce and I pray that everything works out," Omarosa tells PRIDE.
With so many iconic reality TV shows like Celebrity Big Brother, House of Villains, and Fear Factor under her belt, Omarosa is just waiting for The Traitors to call her up next.
"If they call, I will answer! One of my good girlfriends, Phaedra Parks, did so well. I want a part of it! She did her thing, so I want to see if I could mix it up as well."
Got To Get Out is streaming now on Hulu. To see the full interviews with Spencer Pratt and Omarosa, check out the videos at the top of the page.

Amanda Knox: Hulu series helped me ‘grieve' life before wrongful conviction
NEW YORK — Hulu's new limited series about Amanda Knox allowed the exonerated American woman to 'finally grieve the young person that I was' before she was wrongfully convicted in Italy for the murder of housemate Meredith Kercher. Knox, 38, was enjoying a semester in Perugia in 2007 at age 20 when she and her boyfriend discovered 21-year-old Kercher brutally murdered in the girls' home. Her arrest — stemming in part from a coerced confession with neither translator nor lawyer present for the interrogation — soon followed, along with sexist media portrayals and the now-infamous 'Foxy Knoxy' moniker. Knox and Monica Lewinsky executive produced the eight-part 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox,' which stars Grace Van Patten in the title role. Now a podcaster and criminal justice reform activist, Knox is 'so grateful' to the New York actress for her portrayal in the series, which debuted Wednesday. 'I felt like I could finally grieve the young person that I was,' Knox told People Tuesday at the series' New York premiere. 'Someone recently said that what happened is someone stole my sparkle. They didn't just steal my freedom, they stole my sparkle. And seeing [Van Patten] bring it back again — I'm just so grateful to her, that she's honored that for me.' Knox was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 26 years behind bars. She was acquitted and freed two years later, only for the Italian courts to overturn the acquittal in 2013, at which point Knox was back in the U.S. The following year, she received a 28 1/2-year prison sentence in absentia, That ruling was overturned in 2015, with Knox finally exonerated. 'That is something that I've struggled with for so long, is how much people have rendered me two-dimensional,' Knox told People, adding that 'Tell Me Lies' actress Van Patten, 28, 'finally honors that young person that I was and the person I am today.'

Amanda Knox, Monica Lewinsky reclaim the red carpet together
Amanda Knox and Monica Lewinsky are reclaiming their stories on the red carpet. The "Waiting to Be Heard" author and the anti-bullying activist posed together on the red carpet Aug. 19 while promoting their new eight-part Hulu series "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox" (now streaming). For the show's New York City premiere, Knox wore a long, lacy Giambattista Valli Paris dress paired with pink Aquazzura heels, while Lewinsky stunned in a gold dress and pumps. It's been nearly two decades since Knox, then a 20-year-old student at the University of Washington, traveled 5,600 miles to study abroad in Perugia, Italy, about two hours north of Rome. Knox moved into an apartment, which she'd share with Meredith Kercher, a 21-year-old British student. The two had become friends, but police arrested Knox and charged her with murdering Kercher. The new Hulu show follows Knox's nightmare journey, spending nearly four years in an Italian prison before being acquitted in 2011. She'd be found guilty (again) in 2014 and finally exonerated in 2015. Lewinsky, too, has faced the scrutiny of mainstream media's sometimes harsh light. The media painted the former White House intern, who had an affair with President Bill Clinton in the 1990s while he was in office, as a "little tart" (The Wall Street Journal) and "a ditsy, predatory White House intern" (The New York Times). Amanda Knox: 'Twisted Tale' asks, 'in the wake of trauma, how do you rebuild your life?' Monica Lewinsky produced 'Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox' on Hulu Over the past decade, though, Lewinsky reclaimed the affair's public fallout as a contributing writer to Vanity Fair with a viral 2015 TED talk about public shaming. In more recent years, Lewinsky – who is credited as an executive producer on "Twisted Tale" – has rebounded as a rising producer in Hollywood. Knox said that Lewinsky "held my hand through this experience because she's been a trailblazer in this regard of a woman who had her worst experience used to bury her and turn her into a punchline," adding that she came "back and reclaimed her sense of self and her purpose in life and didn't allow all of these external forces to diminish her." She first stepped into the industry in September 2021 as a producer on Ryan Murphy's "Impeachment: American Crime Story," partly inspired by events in her own life. That fall, she executive-produced the HBO documentary "15 Minutes of Shame." "From my own experience, the first step was surviving," Lewinsky told USA TODAY. "Holding on to the hope that things can change. It won't be as bad as it is in the eye of the storm forever." Knox told USA TODAY that Lewinsky's reclamation made her believe that "there was perhaps a path forward for me in this world." So Knox asked to meet, and the pair later became friends. When Lewinsky learned four years later that Knox wanted to adapt her 2013 memoir, she reached out. The rest is history (or a Hulu series out now).

Amanda Knox had ‘chills' watching Hulu series on her life
Amanda Knox has reacted to the actress who plays her in the new Hulu limited series 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox.' Knox lauded Grace Van Patten for the portrayal, telling People that her performance gave her 'chills,' and Van Patten has the 'ability to just take on the whimsy but the gravitas of this role.' 'I felt like I could finally grieve the young person that I was,' an emotional Knox told the magazine at the Aug. 19 premiere screening at the New York Historical Society in New York City. 'Someone recently said that what happened is someone stole my sparkle. They didn't just steal my freedom; they stole my sparkle.' She added, 'And seeing her bring it back again — I'm just so grateful to her, that she's honored that for me.' 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox' The new series tells the true story of Knox, who was convicted of murder twice in relation to the death of her British roommate, Meredith Kercher, while studying abroad in Italy in 2007. Knox spent four years in an Italian jail before she was exonerated in 2015 by Italy's highest court. The eight-part series, which former White House aide Monica Lewinsky serves as a producer, chronicles the wrongful conviction and how the ordeal has impacted her family, Kercher's family and Knox's boyfriend at the time, Raffaele Sollecito, who was also convicted and then acquitted for Kercher's death, according to NPR. Meredith Kercher's family reacts to show Kercher's sister, Stephanie, chose to remember her 'for her own fight for life,' she told The Guardian in November 2024, when the series began filming in Italy. Stephanie Kercher told The Guardian her family found it 'difficult to understand' the purpose of the show. 'We will forever feel this indescribable void, but we live by Meredith's standards with dignity,' she said at the time. In March, Knox appeared on NewsNation's 'Banfield' to promote her book ' Free: My Search for Meaning ' and revealed details about her time in prison, which she said was 'dehumanizing' and rife with sexual harassment. 'I was also being highly sexualized in the media as this whore who would go with anybody. I think some male guards got the idea that if they could just find themselves alone in a room with me, they could take advantage of that,' Knox told Ashleigh Banfield at the time. On Van Patten's performance, Knox told People, 'Everyone I know who has seen this has just been like, 'How did she do that? How?'' She added, 'She is incredible, and I'm so grateful to her because I feel like that is something that I've struggled with for so long, is how much people have rendered me two-dimensional. And she finally honors that young person that I was and the person I am today.' Critics have had mixed reactions to the show, with Vox saying that the character portrayals are 'uneven and unsatisfying.' The outlet added that the show's attempts to highlight Kercher are 'shallow' since she and Knox only knew one another for a few weeks before her murder. The Hulu series premiered Wednesday, Aug. 20.
