Spencer Pratt Open Up

Spin churns out some memorable interviews. Perhaps the interviewees believe Spin readers won't judge, but they forget that in this instant media age, all the rest of us can get our hands on their words! In the newest issue, the notorious Spencer Pratt of the Hills actually opens up about his twisted self and reveals, "everything I do has an ulterior motive." Here's a particularly telling sample of the Q&A:

Have you lost the ability to have a genuine, non-manipulative interaction with a stranger?

Since I was born, I've been calculating. That's my version of being genuine. Life is like chess. I'm always moving pawns around. So you used the word "genuine" -- of course it's always genuine. But I'm still the best chess player in the media game right now.

Help me understand your behavior on a practical level. If someone comes up to you at a bar, are you immediately thinking about how to manipulate that person towards some goal of yours?

That would depend if the cameras were rolling or not. If they were, then yes, 100 percent I'm manipulating you. I got a 180 I.Q. So I'm definitely not just talking out my you know what. But A) I'm definitely not in a bar, and B) I'm not talking to you unless you're my close friend or a family member, so I probably wouldn't have struck up a conversation with anyone.

How much money are you worth?

Oh, man. I wouldn't want to go on record with that. It'll make people hate me more. Let's just say with this economy I'm dead broke and very relatable to all of you. Everything I have is rented. Fake it till you make it. That's my thing.

Damn this guy is screwed up. At least he's honest...?
