Hey, what's the one thing that could make America fall in love with The Hills' Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt ? If you said “an unholy boatload of guns,” then you probably know the happy couple better than we do. Perez Hilton and InTouch are reporting the dubious news that Hi 'n’ Spence recently visited a firearms store in Culver City, Calif., and dropped more than $10,000 on self-protection. “Spencer does have a few enemies,” a friend tells InTouch . “He’s alienated a lot of people now that he's rich and famous.” (No, really?) On the couple's reported shopping list: Two Benelli semiautomatic M4 tactical shotguns, two Wilson close-quarter combat .45s, and one Scout semi rifle. “They wanted the exact guns that the U.S. Delta Force uses,” the friend said. For the record, we don't believe this story, but then again, we at one point didn't believe people like Heidi and Spencer actually existed, but there they are. So go figure. Photo: AP Source ...
