Spencer Pratt Defends Heidi Montag's AMAs Wig
Spencer Pratt is defending his wife, Heidi Montag, amid criticism of her recent look at the American Music Awards.
If you missed it, Heidi stepped out at the AMAs earlier this week wearing a striking blue, sparkly outfit and a short, blonde wig. The hairstyle quickly garnered criticism, with several internet users calling Heidi 'unrecognizable' and questioning why she didn't rock her natural hair instead.
Here's a close-up photo:
'I can guarantee, no matter what her actual hair looks like, it looks better than that wig,' one popular Reddit comment said. 'Why does she look like a cosplay of Tori Spelling,' someone else added.
Before long, Heidi's wig became headline news among several outlets, with Page Six publishing an article titled, 'Heidi Montag dragged for wearing 'world's worst' wig to AMAs 2025: 'From Party City.''
Now, Spencer — who has been married to Heidi since 2009 — is addressing the criticism head-on.
Taking to TikTok, Spencer shared a screenshot of the aforementioned Page Six article and said, 'A lot of people loved the wig, a lot of people didn't love it so much. But you know what, we're very thankful to be at the American Music Awards and having anyone talking about Heidi's hair. What a blessing.'
He then added, 'In the future, if Heidi were to do another wig, hopefully we'll have Beyoncé money one day, 'cause I've learned a lot about wigs. A really nice wig is $20,000. We don't have a $20,000 wig budget. So it's a cute little wig for the money we can afford for a wig. It was just supposed to be a fun little, 'Oh look at the wig.' And it worked, I guess!'
Spencer also took to Instagram to address 'the wig haters,' encouraging people to preorder Heidi's upcoming album, HEIDIWOOD, so that they can spend more money on her wigs. 'for the wig haters please pre order HEIDIWOOD now so that future wigs have more budget,' he wrote.
Fair play, Spencer.

TikTok Made Addison Rae Famous. Pop Made Her Cool.
A couple of years ago, when Addison Rae went to pitch herself for a deal with Columbia Records, pop stardom was not a guarantee. She was best known as one of TikTok's breakout stars, someone who had used the app to catapult from anonymity to ubiquity, but as a dancer and personality — not a musician. And some early demo recordings she didn't love had recently leaked online, and she wanted to distance herself from them. So instead of presenting a set of sonic ideas, she came into the meeting with a mood board in a binder. First there were the descriptors: words like 'intentional,' 'intense,' 'loud,' 'dance,' 'glitter.' Then there were the colors: aquamarine, hot pink, purple, yellow. And then the screen grabs of superstar live-show touchstones: Britney Spears's 'I'm a Slave 4 U' at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards, Madonna's Girlie Show tour, and so on. It worked — she landed the deal. But what came next was a conundrum, Rae said in an interview last month on Popcast, The New York Times's music podcast: 'I was like, I know what I want people to feel when they hear my music, but what does that sound like? And what am I going to say?' Those questions set Rae on a year-plus mission of refining her public image, one that was forged in the relentless algorithmic fires of TikTok and that has lately seen her remade as a savvy pop ingénue. This week, she'll release 'Addison,' her debut album and one of the year's signature pop releases. (Its original title was, in fact, 'Mood Boards.') It's a breathy, sweaty, urgent album — more a throwback to the sonics of three decades ago than a conversation with contemporary pop. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
