Al Roker calls Heidi and Spencer vacuuous, they call him mean and attacking

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

You know what I was just wondering to myself this morning? What do Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt think about Al Roker? Now this isn’t really all that strange: I spend a good 3/4 of my day wondering what Speidi thinks about various quasi-celebs and jolly weathermen. Not weatherwomen though. I don’t give a damn what Heidi and Spencer think about the ladies.

In case you were stuck in the same predicament as I was, let me assure you: Al Roker does not like Heidi and Spencer. And they do not like them. Epic feud starts… now.

Spencer and Heidi Pratt have made an unlikely new enemy: Al Roker. On Monday’s Today show, the cohost grilled the two reality stars on their recent stint on NBC’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!. At one point, he asked Heidi if she was proud of their behavior on the show. As she danced around the question, Roker cut her off and sternly asked, “No [the question is], are you proud of this?” Roker also took Spencer to task, telling him that people think he acts like a “jerk.”

After the interview, Roker couldn’t hold his disdain for the two. “Heidi and Spencer are an interesting couple. famous for…being infamous,” he Tweeted. “Bad and vacuous behavior. I think we’re at minute 11 of their 15.” Spencer shot back on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show. “Was the weatherman asking us questions? I thought we were getting interviewed by a guy named Matt Lauer,” he said. “We were thrown off that the weatherman was even trying to talk to Speidi.”

Heidi complained that Roker didn’t even thank them after the interview. “I was shocked at how rude he was,” she told Seacrest. “I was crying afterwards because I felt personally attacked because he was yelling and saying, ‘Do you feel proud of this?'” She went on, “I felt like saying, ‘Do you feel proud of what you’re saying [to us]?’ I’m a young woman and you’re coming at me so mean-spirited.”

“We were going there for a great interview. I just wanted to talk about the show and my experience there and how fun it was,” she said. “He just made it uncomfortable and an awful experience. To be honest, I wouldn’t be interviewed by him again. And I’d advise women to be careful around him because I feel like he definitely attacked me and I didn’t deserve that at all.”

[From Us Weekly]

A couple thoughts: first off, Spencer refers to himself and Heidi as Speidi? Isn’t that a pejorative term made up by In Touch or something? That’d be like if I referred to myself as Fat Ass because that kid in third grade did. Secondly… did Heidi Montag just imply that Al Roker is dangerous to women because he didn’t coddle her and offer her a cupcake? What the hell was that thing about “I’m a young woman…”? Like it’s okay if Al comes “all mean spirited” at old balding men. Or even old women. Or young men. But don’t you dare – don’t you dare – consider not tiptoeing around Speidi, Al Roker.

But points to Spencer for that weatherman joke. Almost.

    THESE TWO!!!I saw this this morning & just laughed & laughed. They are such assholes, good for Al to tell em how it is.For her to cry sexism is just what I would expect from them. For her to say “And I’d advise women to be careful around him because I feel like he definitely attacked me and I didn’t deserve that at all.” all I hear is “Big mean black man was mean to the poor little white girl!” stfu.

  2. Susette says:

    Everyone knows what a couple of moronic famewhores they are, yet they are constantly coddled in interviews. I’ve been waiting for someone to call them out to their faces, but who woulda thunk it would be Al Roker? Is it too much to hope that by this time next year, they’ll be a distant annoying memory?

  3. ! says:

    Never once did he yell. EVER. Being around Spencer as often as she is, you’d think she’d have a better definition of yelling. And what is or isn’t a threat to a woman’s safety.

  4. Sue says:

    Al Roker did what everyone else in America wants to do. Good for him. I like him even more.

  5. HEB says:

    I can’t even watch the interview

  6. sandy says:

    YAY!!! AL ROKER IS MY NEW HERO!

  7. alecto says:

    What he was mean for calling them on their behavior and NOT letting them side step the questions? They are the ones that proud themselves on being douches. They should be held accountable. I don’t think it’s harmless fun the way pweeb face hit something out of that woman’s hands. AND HE SAID that he wanted to see that clip again becuase it was his favorite.

  8. Sauronsarmy says:

    Why the hell are they even on the Today Show? Al was probably insulted that he had to interview these two idiots that he let them have it. So Al’s a “weatherman” atleast he got a college education and has years of media experience.

  9. Annie says:

    Al Roker is seriously my homeboy now.

    Anyone watch those two on I’m a Celebrity?

    Go Roker for giving it to ’em! Personally, I would’ve been much more “mean-spirited”. I probably would’ve mentioned something about “the evil taking over them, and some demons too”

  10. ub says:

    People need to stop interviewing them and stop taking pictures of them. Only then will those wastes of human flesh go away.

  11. georgiagrl says:

    This is why the World has become soooo moronic!We “celebrate idiocrasy to the hilt and we wonder why people act crazy, immorally and just poorly day and night for their 15 minutes. We have seen the lengths people will go to for fame such as filming themselves having sex, or having 8 embryos implanted and we watch their shows and buy the magazines and its sooo shameful. I seriously don’t know how much more I can stomache this trash! These idiots and Kardashian, Hilton, ect are getting rich for doing NOTHING! WTF!

  12. soooo says:

    hhahahha this is great. they had it coming.

  13. Jess says:

    I hate Speidi and avoid any gossip or shows where they may appear, but turned on the Today Show by accident right as Al started his interview with them. While I wish NBC wouldn’t even interview them I was happy to see that Al didn’t coddle them and instead asked them the tough questions. He never yelled or was inappropriate – it was just a tough interview, although it wasn’t even as tough as those two detestable characters deserve. Can they please just go away!

  14. bob lawblaw says:

    I don’t know what that says when you’re feuding with a professional weatherman/jovial morning-show personality, but it can’t be good.

    And JayBird, any points that would have been awarded, are automatically taken away because he’s the biggest bag of douche in the universe.

  15. KateNonymous says:

    Good for Al Roker. He wasn’t hard on them, he just made them answer the questions.

    And I have no doubt that Spencer doesn’t think that far in the future. I don’t think he’s capable of it.

  16. jane says:

    Why are they knocking Al Roker? Did they not know WHO was going to be interviewing them prior to? I loathe these two.

  17. Victoria says:

    I couldn’t watch the interview either and I tried. Ill just take your guys word for it that it was GREAT!

  18. Len says:

    God, I hate them. I thought I hated Paris Hilton, I thought I hated Lindsay Lohan, but now I know what real hatred is. That Spencer is just disgustingly irritating. I’ve never been so irritated by someone. I’m kind of amazed by the level of my own irritation actually.

  19. Lem says:

    Baptized by a Baldwin. Nuff said

  20. ash says:

    What does she mean talk about the fun she had and her experiences? didn’t they quit after one show? I don’t think talking about how the music video was made counts Heidi.

  21. wow says:

    Whenever they are called out on their crap, it always has to be the other person’s lack of understanding them.

  22. KelBear says:

    They are just mad because someone said what the whole U.S. really wants to say. They should be completely embarrassed by their behavior on the celebrity show. Yuck!

  23. Linda says:

    Everyone needs to just STOP giving these two any press whatsoever. They do these things on purpose – to keep their name out there.

    They are the scum of the earth and EVERYONE everywhere just needs to STOP giving them any press as all.

  24. Abby says:

    FUNNIEST INTERVIEW EVERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

  25. sarcra says:

    I really hate these two. Women should feel afraid to be around Al Roker? Give me a freaking break, and Ryan Seacrest should be ashamed of himself for letting these two spout the crap they do and not questioning them on it.

  26. Mairead says:

    Jesus wept – these two useless c*nts wouldn’t last two seconds in the public sector… they’d REALLY know what shouting and aggressive behaviour sounds like then. Cried afterwards my fuckin’ arse – and threaten ruining her makeup?

    I don’t care if this is mock-indignation/”terror”. How dare that streak of uselessness accuse the interviewer of sexism! – he treated both equally. No wonder they had to run to their intellectual peer Seacrest to milk it a bit more; they’ve found out that by working in gangs they can thieve even more oxygen 👿

  27. boo says:

    Roker has zero tolerance for idiots and these two bring new meaning to the word “idiots”. He must have said “WTF!” When he found out he had to interview them. Love that guy.

  28. Shay says:

    So they thought they were on Matt Lauer interview level? They should be glad they were allowed to come year the Today Show studios. I think it’s even below Kathly Lee’s standards to interview these twats.

    I don’t even like Al I think he runs his mouth too much and thinks his little quips are funny. He’s always two ticks away from inapropriate. Would rather see Willard Scott. I give him a little slack for taking it to them.

  29. Eden says:

    Well, on the positive side, these two have been reduced to media jokes. It won’t be long until they disappear into obscurity, but until then, lets enjoy watching these two idiots flush their pathetic non-acting careers down the toilet.

  30. westindya says:

    um, why were they EVEN on the show in the first place? i mean… ewww. slumming.

  31. Gloaming says:

    I’m disappointed he went so easy on them, really i can’t see the fuss, they looked uncomfortable yeah, but with all the ammunition Al Roker has, he should have come down a lot harder on them.

    Failing that, maybe just put them both through that plate glass window……

    One can dream.

  32. gee_gee says:

    Either Matt Lauer refused to interview these two tw*ts or Al Roker lost a bet. She’s afraid of Al Roker? Is she new? I would like to see how these two jackasses do on Letterman. Al Roker was gentle in comparison to the abuse they could have gotten (and totally deserve).

  33. Green Is Good says:

    TEAM AL ROKER!

    I know Al is still considered a weatherman, but he does not deserve the hell of “interviewing” these 2 Ken & Barbie plastic tw@ts.

  34. Dirty Martini says:

    ….Trying….So….Hard…Not….To…..Laugh….Uproariously….

    The NBC Weather Guy kicked their collective @$$ to the curb–Seriously?

    ROFLMAO

  35. voodoobetty says:

    Quote Spencer “We were thrown off that the weatherman was even trying to talk to Speidi.”

    I cannot believe that they literally call themselves SPEIDI. Any moron(s) who choose to refer to themselves in the third person really need to be shot. Seriously can’t Obama pass a law allowing a free shot at any narcissistic douche that refers to themself in the third person? I truly and passionately despise reality TV and all these pseudo celebrities that it spawns.

  36. mtngirl says:

    Speidi got roasted, good. Now go away and take Stephen Baldwin with you.

  37. AC says:

    When will these two morons disappear????

  38. Bobby Corwen says:

    We make money off of morons. What is hilarious is that they’re real. These two make me lmfao. I feel for the Pratt’s families–they’re clearly an embarassment.

  39. Peg says:

    These two need a good Al Roker Spanking!

  40. Kat says:

    Al Roker: 1

    Speidi: -10

    😀

  41. SolitaryAngel says:

    *****Team Roker All the Way*****

  42. the original kate says:

    wait…what was sexist about this interview? i love when women like her don’t know how to answer a question they cry “sexist” when really its just a case of being stupid. but yet this christian feminist will take her clothes off for the right price. dumb twat.

  43. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are too stupid to live. Any good parent would have discovered this at birth and shot them in the head. Isn’t that what they do to mad cows? Spencer Pratt better wake up because he is never going to be the “hero”.
