More of our best of the decade coverage, which started on Tuesday. You can read the other posts at the link above. Here, we talk about a very aught-like phenomenon: the cult of celebrity.

There is no clearer metaphor for the concept of being a celebrity than the Hollywood Walk of Fame. You work hard to chase your dream and achieve a career for yourself by making your name known to the masses of the universe.

Then when you've grabbed that star and become a regular fixture in the flash bulb of the press' cameras, how does the public honor your tireless toil and efforts? They throw you down on a sidewalk and walk all over you.

In the Aughts, however, a new celebrity oozed out of the primordial muck. A celebrity that still suffered the slings and arrows of the tabloid press and a complete loss of the right to privacy, but achieved their stardom by simply cutting out all that pesky hard work and tireless effort nonsense. These are the celebrities who became famous by simply because they were famous.

On the third day of Festivus, TV gave to me ... three reality disasters!

For every good reality show that emerges, there are several horrid shows green-lit, giving reality television its negative light. I could have gone for days talking about tons of reality shows that were disastrous. Jon and Kate Gosselin became national disasters, but even their show had some merit watching a now single Kate deal with her family.

Here are three of the worst offenders of 2009, from least to most disastrous. Oh, and if you're wondering why a certain VH1 show that had Ryan Jenkins as a contestant isn't on the list, don't worry; we'll get to that later this week.

Jimmy Kimmel delivered a compliment of sorts to Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' playing to the popular notion that Speidi's fame might not be warranted.

"The thing that really seems to upset people is, they say you're famous for no reason," Kimmel said. "To me, that's more impressive because a guy like Justin Timberlake, he sings, he dances, he acts. You guys made it with none of that stuff."

Watch the video after the jump.

Last night, Spencer Pratt announced on The Tonight Show that he might run for President. His reasoning? It has to do with becoming hated by everyone and hacking computers. Or something. I don't think he's thought it through yet. Seth Green gets a little dig in, and the audience is obviously tired of him and Heidi.

What you don't hear in the clip (it cuts off early) is the audience actually booing Heidi and Spencer. My favorite part of the show was the end, as the music played and credits rolled Conan talked to guest Brian Setzer and Green talked to Andy, leaving Speidi all alone in the middle on the couch, not sure where to look or who to talk to.

A few months ago, Al Roker interviewed Heidi and Spencer (I think they go by the cute couple name "Hencer") on Today and it didn't go well. Well, it didn't go well for Heidi and Spencer; Roker became a hero to many viewers for pretty much not taking the couple seriously at all. Well, the battle has continued on Twitter.

The two stars of The Hills were supposed to be on Today yesterday but were bumped (they did appear on Regis & Kelly this morning though). So Spencer went on Twitter (the new celebrity battleground) and said "WEATHERMAN I thought you were out of town today getting your stomach stapled again? He called Roker "abusive to women" and a "sicko." Roker responded by simply saying that people shouldn't pay attention to haters on Twitter.

Heidi and Spencer have a new book out, How To Be Famous. Tip #1: be complete morons.

At first I thought this clip from The Tonight Show was going to have a scene from NBC's Meteor miniseries merge with footage of Tom Hanks being hit by a fake meteor when he was a guest last month. But it actually has a much better ending than that.

So E! ran a poll to see if their viewers wanted the network to stop covering the train wreck that is Speidi. Okay. Sure, that's fun. And by a startling 94% margin you have spoken, and you don't want E! covering Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag anymore. Even more surprising is that E! has agreed to follow this edict by their viewers and limit Spiedi stories only to life-altering or -ending events.

I think the celebrity-fueled tabloid news networks and magazines should look at these results and think about it. Speidi has been fueling many gossip stories the past few weeks, and here we find that nearly 100% of people don't want to hear it. And E! fans are gossipy fans to begin with.

It's a dream come true for everybody like myself that utterly, utterly hates reality television. Heidi Pratt had to be rushed to the hospital for being "tortured" on the reality television show I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here.

First, who decided that Spencer and Heidi Pratt would be called "Speidi?" It sounds like the nickname for Spider-Man, only misspelled. Most likely it's the working of a really bad publicist who wants them to be the next "Brangelina" or "Bennifer" or something like that.

Second, given the problems the couple has already had with NBC regarding this show (like quitting and then coming back), this sounds like a ploy to not actually do anything while collecting a paycheck (something they got ample practice with in The Hills).

I would also like to add that it's probably even worse torture for the viewer to simply watch them on television than anything NBC put Heidi through.

As one-half of the comedy duo Frangela, Angela V. Shelton is always attached at the hip with best friend Frances Callier. But the pair was broken up Thursday night when Angela got booted off 'I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here.'

During her brief time on the show, Angela had an altercation with Spencer Pratt when he knocked a water bottle out of her hand; run-ins with spiders, snakes and rats; and drank a milkshake made out of cow intestines.

As the first to get voted off by viewers, Angela spoke to AOL TV via conference call about life in the Costa Rican jungle, what goes on behind the scenes and what the real deal is with Spencer and Heidi Montag. – By Katy Kroll

What a great idea! In this era of people becoming celebrities for the stupidest reasons (I had a bunch of kids), or getting reality shows for even worse reasons (I'm rich!), there are certainly more stupid celebrities out there than there used to be in, say, the Cosby era. Back then it was primarily sports athletes and performers. Which means they all had a bit of talent. With so much realty schlock on the air today, that's no longer required to be famous. Granted, there were always the occasional "fifteen minutes" guy or gal, but not like we have now.

E! put together a list of 128 celebrities, including lots of actors, and let you vote on who was worse. They put them up head to head over nine rounds to get our winner and in the end it came down to two celebrities who are famous based on no merit of their own: Nadya "Octomom" Suleman and Spencer (The Hills, I'm a Celebrity...) Brat Pratt; Heidi made the list but not the finals. So who was E!s most awful celebrity?

It's a good thing Spencer Pratt claims he's turning over a new leaf, because last night's episode of 'The Hills' hinted there's a new villain in town, and she's actually a baddie blast from the past: Kristin Cavallari.

As Lauren Conrad made her final appearance as a regular cast member when she made a surprise (OK, not really) pop-in to Spencer and Heidi's wedding, Kristin, L.C.'s old nemesis from 'Laguna Beach,' made a surprise pop-in herself, turning up at the wedding and plopping herself down next to Justin Bobby.

Update: Well, they did it. For real ... supposedly. Yes, Heidi and Spencer walked down the aisle on Saturday -- while the cameras rolled and Lauren Conrad looked on. (Check out PopEater's coverage here.) Based on a poll we put up Friday, only 14% of Inside TV readers thought the duo did it for love. Now we want to know: Will their marriage last?

Will they or won't they? That is the question when it comes to Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt's rumored nuptials. The villainous 'Hills' duo is reportedly tying the knot -- for the second time -- in California tomorrow. With cameras rolling, of course.

Speidi made a big production out of running off to Mexico to elope last year, then claimed they didn't realize the "I do's" weren't legal in the States. And reports are already swirling that tomorrow's semi-secret do-over is being staged just to boost ratings for the 'Hills' finale. You don't say?

We want to know what you think: Will their union stand the test of time?

"It's pretty hard to gauge me on a TV series. There's 24 hours of Spencer Pratt a day, and he's even crazier and weirder."

Love 'em or loathe 'em, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt -- or Speidi, as they're called -- are a major reason people still tune in to 'The Hills.' The couple's rollercoaster relationship and ongoing feud with co-star Lauren Conrad have been ratings gold for MTV.

Now in its fifth season, 'The Hills' has become a reality franchise that's given us such spin-offs as 'Bromance' and 'The City.' Meanwhile, Heidi and Spencer have become almost daily gossip fodder: As you read this, the tabloids are abuzz that the two are planning to wed on April 25 (for the second time), even though they're verging on a break-up on the show. And that's not all -- rumors are swirling that they'll take over 'The Hills' when Lauren leaves at the end of this season.

Heidi and Spencer called AOL TV to dish about the show, the state of their relationship ... and all those rumors. -- By Katy Kroll
