10 Embarrassing Ways Celebs Tried To Regain Lost Fame

2. Heidi Montag And Spencer Pratt Took The Alex Jones Route

One must feel foolish when they dump their fortune into trying to survive an apocalypse that never comes. If your neighbour begins stocking his lawn with sandbags and building a bomb shelter because Donald Trump s***tweeted something about North Korea after a particularly large double cheeseburger and repeat viewings of a Chuck Norris movie, it's easy to laugh at them, and maybe feel a little sorry.

That's what reality star Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt did when some people still thought the Mayans were right and the world would come to an end in 2012. Their popular stint on The Hills earned them a $10 million dollar fortune. To their credit, their fear of inevitable death turned them vaguely decent, donating large chunks of cash to friends and strangers.

Alas, the Mayans were wrong, and The Hills had been splintered into 1000 different duplicate shows, so no one cared what they did after they went on their spending spree.

After a chance meeting with noted conspiracy theorist and red-faced, shaven Yosemite Sam Alex Jones, the host of Crazy: The Show took a chance to interview the couple, who espoused their belief in the dangers of the upcoming New World Order. They also have a podcast whose title, Make Speidi Famous Again, sounds more like a plea than a show.

Now he's on a reboot of The Hills, proving that the world is terrible the Mayans should have had their s*** together.
