Who knew you could make so much dough by doing nothing. Literally, nothing. “Speidi” as they are
referred to by fans and foes alike, the villainous couple from The Hills, apparently earned $3 million dollars in the past 2 years. Not for curing an infectious disease, not for their charitable contributions, not for their award-winning talent…in the words of Amy Winehouse, “no, no, no.” They got paid simply for being their blonde, preening, veneered smiling selves (see, they’re even chuckling about it in this photo). From their “candid” shots posing for the paparazzi, to their omni-presence at clubs and sporting events, to their “business” deals, the gruesome twosome are laughing all the way to the bank. The couple you love to hate does indeed move magazines and sell tight dresses and short-shorts. Their popularity can even be felt on eBay. For example, when you search for Heidi Montag you get a list of items that includes glamour shots, various magazine covers, items from her clothing line “Heidiwood”, and other random swag. With season 4 of The Hills premiering in August we think that this couple will be sticking around and milking it for a while longer. Get used to more “Baywatch” style beach romps, dates at Disneyland, and red carpet kissing. I’m just mad I didn’t think of this scheme first. Harumph.
