I’ll never forget the name Heidi Montag because she was on the cover of the Playboy issue where I was interviewed (alongside 3 members from my forum).

Turns out she was a true believe of the ancient Mayan apocalypse theory, and thought it would be a good idea to go out with a bang before an asteroid wiped us all out.

This is from China Daily:

US reality show couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt last week revealed how a belief that the world was going to end in December 2012 gave them occasion to blow their $10 million fortune. In a recent interview with InTouch magazine, the couple say they went from one of reality TV’s richest couples to living with Pratt’s parents in Santa Barbara. “Every time we’d go out to eat, we’d order $4,000 bottles of wine. Heidi was going to the mall and dropping $20,000 to $30,000 a day. We thought we were Jay Z and Beyonce.” The couple revealed earlier in the year that they were so convinced that the Mayan Apocalypse was coming that they blew millions of dollars before the calendar hit December 21, 2012. “We made and spent at least $10 million,” Spencer later told OK! magazine. “We thought, we have got to spend this money before the asteroid hits.”
