Al Roker 'Attacks' Speidi on "Today" Show
Yesterday on NBC's "Today" show, Al Roker interviewed reality TV mongers Spencer and Heidi Pratt, a.k.a. Speidi. The couple, famous for being famous, met on MTV's "Hills." Since, the two have 'fallen in love,' married, and kicked and screamed to stay in the spotlight. The couple's recent stint on "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!" has further raised eyebrows, leading Roker to question Speidi's behavior. "Are you proud of all this," he asked repeatedly. Heidi circumvented the question, and felt 'attacked' by Roker's 'mean' tone. Anyone who has watched this interview can see that Roker, clearly, holds little esteem for Spencer and Heidi. Still, 'attack' is a bit of an exaggeration. It's more likely that Roker was asking questions that we all want the answers to... Aren't interviews supposed to be interesting? Seems like Speidi was expecting to be doted on, but I'd imagine the controversy pleases them. Anything to stretch those 15 minutes of fame!
