'10
This sh-t is painfully unfunny. It’s a rare miss for the Funny or Die people, perhaps because I tend to think most people are like me, and can’t look at Heidi Montag without wincing. Of course, I winced before she got all of the plastic surgery, but now that her face looks tragically painful, it’s a more poignant wince. Anyway, the gist of this “commercial” (directed by Oscar-winner Ron Howard, of all people) is that Heidi Montag wants us all to call our congressmen and urge them to financial reform (on, like, credit cards and junk). Important issue. Denigrated by Heidi. And her attempt to parody herself…? Meh. Oh, but wait! Heidi now thinks she’s an “actress”.
A jaw-dropping 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day may have made The Hills star Heidi Montag the happiest she’s ever been, but it also made her fodder for some comics. Now Montag is joining the laugh brigade, with the help of Funny or Die and Oscar-winning Ron Howard, who’s directed a new video in which Montag stars.
Its mission: To urge Congress to enact financial reform.
“I was honored to work with the amazing Ron Howard,” Montag, 23, tells PEOPLE. “He was even more incredible than I could have imagined – kind, generous and made me feel so comfortable – he made me feel confident in my talent.”
The video, shot at a private home in Los Angeles on Feb. 26, was scripted but left room for a little improvising – such as a cameo appearance by husband Spencer Pratt on a pedestal. Montag also added a touch of her own, wearing a dress she designed herself.
So has Montag caught the performing bug? “I am so excited about my acting future,” she says. “I can’t wait for my next role to be as an action star! This is just the beginning of a whole new world for me.”
Montag’s video is part of a series launched by the Americans for Financial Reform that will urge, among other things, massive call-in days throughout the week to push Congress toward, among other measures, forming a strong and independent Consumer Financial Protection Agency.
In addition to an all-star Presidential Reunion video – in which Barack Obama gets a surprise visit in the night from ex-Presidents Bush Sr., Bush Jr., Clinton, Ford, Reagan and Carter, as played by Will Ferrell and other past and present SNL stalwarts – Funny and Die is working on additional videos to urge Congress to act on and pass financial reform.
[From People]
This is what we get for encouraging Heidi for two seconds while we were vaguely interested in hearing about all of her plastic surgery. Now she thinks she’s an actress. And she’s even met Ron Howard! Gah.
If Funny or Die wanted to use some idiot in their “commercial” they should have gone for Lindsay Lohan. She could have riffed for two minutes on the E-Trade milkaholic baby, stealing fur coats, jewelry heists, and credit reform, and still had 30 seconds to spare.

Sorry, she’s just painfully to look at. When it speaks it merely just pretends to understand what’s being said. I don’t know why people bother working with her, even to mock her. She doesn’t get it.

Wow. So. Not. Funny.
Ron Howard should be careful not to tarnish his good name associating with the likes of Speidi. It’s not like he has to work for a living anymore.

Can she have plastic surgery on that voice?

She doesn’t even look like she can smile without being in pain. Sorry I would rather be natural without pain, and a few wrinkles than look like a blow up doll!

Ever since she had all that surgery, every image I’ve seen of her she looks like she’s about to burst into tears.
Is that just a result from the surgery, like how some people have ‘surprised-face’, she has ‘I’m gonna cry-face’?
Anyway, it’s hard to watch her now because she makes me feel so sad for her. She can’t even be mocked. Like LiLo, it’s just sad now, not at all funny anymore.

As unfunny as this is, I have to say she doesn’t look as creepy as she initially did after the plastic surgery. She still looks plastic and her boobs are awful but she looks less like a transsexual now.

She looks just like that insane semi-homemade cooking person, Sandra Lee.
And Sandra’s 43.

She is grotesque. Those boobs are painfully big, her face looks painful and like it’s been attacked with a sandblaster, and she just looks like she’s made out of 100% rayon. Not funny in the slightest. I guess her face looks good from the side, but definitely NOT head-on, and who would want to see that in the tub anyways??

All that plastic surgery aged her. She looks old!

I felt embarrassed watching that.
“An upwards of fifty thousand dollars.” I think she just meant “upwards of.”
She can’t even read off scripted lines. And she looks horrible. How did someone 20 years old manage to look 20 years older WITH plastic surgery? Ug!
Please ignore this hag! PLEASE!

I was only able to get 30 seconds into it. I just can’t watch her. I’d rather poke my eyes out.

First of all, my respect for Ron Howard has plummeted. Second of all, the only way Heidi’s gonna be an “action star” is in porn.

@ Laurie – She hasn’t aged well with her surgeries, so I can’t even imagine how badly she’s going to actually age. (You get it, right? Her surgery aged her 20 years, so what will she look like 20 years from now? I’m guessing something like a cross between Joan Rivers, Janice Dickinson, and that cat-woman lady. No offence to Joan intended.)

OMG. I watched this without the volume and her face barely moves. She looks like a robot or one of those Stepford wives. Eeewww… Heidi what have you done to yourself?

Very very flat. But I have to say she looks awesome for a 50 year old..

And with as huge as her boobs look in this video, is she serious about wanting them even bigger?! Really?

My god. . . It’s even more horrible when it speaks. . .

Was it funny? Nah, but I thought it was humorous. She doesn’t look bad. Plastic, yes, but eh. Is it her personality that makes her look so horrible to everyone?
And I was pleasantly surprised by her voice. I think she has a nice speaking voice.

I thought the thing she did with her mouth at the end was kinda funny. I chuckled.

But wasnt the hills all scripted— so how come she is so uncomfortable and unnatural in this? Like shes never acted before and cant act, actually— this doesnt make sense.

God she looks worse than ever. She almost looked pretty from certain angles when she first ‘unveiled’ her new face, but now that everything’s settling into place she.. Well, she looks worse than she did before.

She looks INSANELY like Paris – or maybe that’s just because Paris is the original Plastic Face of the last decade, and that’s really what all slutty schizoids with bad self-esteem and too much money look like. Like a uniform!

Ack, one can only hope Ron Howard had a total brain fart when he chose to “work” with Heidi.
She is not funny as the little bit of personality she had was either sucked out, hacked or botoxed in a frenzy of fembot surgeries. Wake up Ron, how does AFR expect to be taken seriously with this!

This is Anna Nicole Smith all over again. A naive, fame-obsessed girl who will do anything to help further any career she can carve out. And just like ANS she will only be able to secure roles that exploit and take advantage of the cartoon image she has created physically. And then, sadly, she will fade quickly as a drug-addled, delusional car-wreck, surrounded only by sycophants and fringe lawyers ready to pick her estate clean once she has passed. This industry creates this kind of monster all the time, and still has yet to tire of the necessary role it plays.

Sorry, I’m not laughing at all and she looks so sick. Hey I have a tips for those who has a wrinkle face. Use hot iron and simply iron on the wrinkled part of your face. Never ever do a plastic surgery! or else you will become like her. No, this is not a joke. My face is so serious right now. Thanks admin for posting this video.

Hey – I’m speaking to a whole whole lot of webmasters to uncover out if they’ve heard nearly practically something in regards to the substantial weblog web page engine change which is inside the works? With WP releasing three rather soon, the phrase on the street is that BE is possible make quite a lot changes that search like WP changes. Shoot me an e-mail at after you hearken to everything.
