Live Events
Over the years, he has become a popular figure on the internet, sharing his passion for crystals and hummingbirds, being open about his house burning down in the Palisades wildfire, and supporting his wife's musical endeavors. He first gained fame on The Hills as Heidi Montag's provocateur boyfriend, as per reports.
What's Got To Get Out all about?
He most recently participated in the brand-new Hulu competition series Got to Get Out, which pits ten famous people such as Pratt and Omarosa Manigault Newman against ten up-and-coming people in a mansion.
They have ten days to split the $1 million grand prize with the other competitors, or they can try to flee the mansion and take some of the winnings with them.
Pratt acknowledged that his actions on The Hills had an effect on reality TV, but he told Yahoo Entertainment that he believes not the on-screen talent but rather "it's mainly just producers" were influenced by his behaviour, as quoted in a report.
"It's pretty basic, you know, you need a drama of some kind, an antagonist, and someone who is willing to do it," he stated. 'Messages on a Blackberry were used back then. Producers these days probably text lines to anyone they know is down.'
Pratt adopts a more passive stance in the first episode of Got to Get Out than he has in previous episodes. When rivals and a traitor are engaged in a heated argument, he coolly reminds everyone that it's only a game.
How did the fire change Spencer Pratt's life?
In a February interview with The Cut, Pratt stated, 'That house was our stock; it was our bitcoin." "Over the past nine years, we have worked hard for every dollar.' 'We put anything that generates revenue on social media into this house, including the Hills reboot.'
Pratt told Yahoo Entertainment that his objective is simply to earn "enough to buy his parents a house, and his family a house again as soon as possible," since more people are supporting him now than they were during his social media redemption period or when he was at the top of his game on The Hills.
How is Heidi Montag's music helping their comeback?
He intends to support Heidi Montag's music on a global tour or sell used high-end designer handbags on TikTok Live. Whether it's selling secondhand high-end designer handbags on TikTok or getting more television, he also wants to support his family's future pursuits.
A shirt featuring Montag's image, which went viral on TikTok and reached the top of the charts in 15 countries, is worn by Pratt on the show. He thinks that supporters of her song, "I'll Do It," who streamed it in support of their home loss in January, and social media's penchant for highlighting resurgent earworms contributed to the song's success.
FAQs
Why has Spencer Pratt returned to reality TV now?
After his family lost everything in the Palisades fire, Pratt is doing whatever it takes, including reality TV, to rebuild and purchase a new home.
What is Spencer's role in Got to Get Out?
He's competing for a cash prize, demonstrating a more composed side of himself while navigating drama with both celebrities and newcomers.

Rise of 'MAGA Mark'? Why Meta employees 'horrified' as CEO Mark Zuckerberg ditches his T-shirts for luxury jackets, $900K watch

Meta employees are reportedly 'horrified' by CEO Mark Zuckerberg's support for the Trump administration and his new, more conservative avatar. As per a Financial Times report, the billionaire has reportedly undergone a political transformation that has left employees 'grieving' and feeling 'horror and betrayal.' An Unsettling Shift in Workplace Culture More than 40 current and former Meta employees, most of whom requested anonymity, reportedly shared their concerns with FT , painting a grim picture of the internal environment. The culture at Meta, once shaped by Zuckerberg's image as a casual, innovation-driven tech leader, is now seen as shifting toward a space that some insiders feel is more aggressive and ideologically rigid. These employees described the atmosphere as emotionally chaotic, with many staffers feeling alienated by the company's perceived new direction. From Geek Icon to Conservative Symbol Zuckerberg, once known for his low-profile fashion and engineering-centric public persona, is now being linked with far-right media figures and hyper-masculine influencers. He has built friendships with prominent names associated with the "manosphere"—a network of online voices that critique progressive values and emphasize traditional masculinity. UFC president Dana White and podcaster Joe Rogan are reportedly among Zuckerberg's close associates in this ideological space. The CEO's evolving personality has even earned him a satirical nickname among employees: 'MAGA Mark.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 40세 넘고 PC만 있으면? 이 게임 완전 내 거임! Hero Wars 플레이하기 Undo Recently, a video of Zuckerberg calling corporate culture in the US, "culturally neutered" and clamouring for more "masculine energy," in Rogan's podcast has gone viral. Internal Pushback and Tense Exchanges The unease reached a peak during a meeting where Zuckerberg's comments on a Rogan podcast were brought up. In the interview, he called for a boost in 'masculine energy' at the workplace—statements that drew criticism and jokes, including a comedian dubbing him the 'emperor of the Broman Empire.' When employees questioned this ideological turn, Zuckerberg allegedly responded with a brusque dismissal, indicating that dissenting opinions wouldn't be entertained. A Dramatic Image Makeover The Financial Times notes that Zuckerberg's outer transformation has mirrored his political one. He's reportedly traded his trademark plain grey T-shirts for flashier attire—luxurious shearling jackets, gold accessories, and even a high-end $900,000 Greubel Forsey timepiece. The tech mogul has also altered his appearance, reportedly replacing his clean-cut look with a vibrant, styled ginger mullet—an image widely circulated and commented upon in media outlets like The Daily Beast. Possible Role in Trump's Inner Circle Sources also revealed that there have been behind-the-scenes conversations about Zuckerberg potentially joining Trump's advisory panel on science and technology. A political insider told FT that at various functions, former President Donald Trump enjoys showcasing Zuckerberg, suggesting a deepening rapport. Driven by Comparison with Elon Musk? Some Meta staff believe the CEO's transformation may stem from professional rivalry. As Elon Musk continues to be celebrated as an audacious visionary in the tech community, Zuckerberg is reportedly striving to revamp his image to gain similar admiration. According to one insider, the social media magnate has long desired broader public approval—a need that may be influencing his current trajectory.

Salman Khan opens up about his health struggles: "Trigeminal Neuralgia tha..Aneurysm hai brain me uske bawajud kaam kar rhe hai"

Salman Khan, better known as the bhaijaan of the industry, has always been known for her strength and swag. The moment you hear his name, the first thing that comes to mind is power, muscular physique, and India's most charming eligible bachelor. However, what a lot of people don't know is that behind this super-beast personality, the actor has been dealing with multiple painful health conditions. Yet, like a true showman, he never lets his pain come to his face and works on the philosophy, 'the show must go on.' The 'Bajarangi Bhaijaan' actor had earlier opened up about dealing with multiple serious conditions, including trigeminal neuralgia, a brain aneurysm, and arteriovenous malformations. More recently, during his appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show, he again referred to his health struggles in a fleeting comment. Here's what Salman Khan said about his health issues It all started with the million-dollar question that has been a friend and a foe of Salman Khan for decades - 'Is there any girl in his life?' On a lighthearted note, Salman replied, there is no one in his life, and in all fairness, he doesn't have the patience to make all those sacrifices and endure the husband-wife quarrels. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo He is at a stage where he enjoys his space, which he wouldn't like to share with anyone. Then he jokingly added, 'Divorces happen over minor things, and on top of that, he takes away half the money. ' Salman continued that the fortune that he had made with so much hard work, despite several health issues, he could not see half of it going away, as it would be difficult to build again. He said, 'So hum ye jitni bhi haddiyan tudva rahe hai, pasliyan toot gayi, trigeminal neuralgia tha uske bawajud kaam kre, aneurysm hai brain me uske bawajud kaam kar rhe hai, AV malformations hai, uske bawajud chal rhe hai.. Action, yaha se kudna, vaha se girna, chalne ko nahi ho rha, dance kr rhe hai…ye sab chal rha hai… or jaha unka mood satka, vo aadha humara le kar chla gya. (So all these bones that have been broken, ribs fractured, had trigeminal neuralgia yet worked, there is an aneurysm in the brain yet we are working, there are AV malformations, yet we are still going on. . Action, jumping from here, falling over there, not even able to walk, still dancing.. all this is going on, and whenever her (in context of a partner) mood snaps, she can leave with half of it.)' Salman Khan's health struggles Reportedly, Salman Khan started having symptoms of Trigeminal Neuralgia around 2007. Back then, he was shooting for 'Partner'. He endured severe pain for several years and had to work through it to shoot his movie. In 2011, he went to the United States for surgery.
