The Hills' Heidi Montag is on the cover of the October issue of CosmoGirl, and the accompanying article (a Q&A with both Heidi and her boyfriend Spencer Pratt) is, we suppose, meant to set the record straight regarding Heidi and Spencer's relationship and their enmity towards Heidi's ex-BFF Lauren Conrad. But we came away from it feeling even more like Spencer has fully completed his takeover of Heidi's brain. Spencer is "smart, funny, sweet, genuine, and a great businessman. He's my dream guy!" Heidi gushes. "I could start crying right now when I think of being without Spencer." Crazy! Then they start trashing Lauren Conrad, and that's when things start getting really good.

Last night on The Hills, Heidi took Spencer to visit her parents in Colorado. They live in Crested Butte, in the middle of nowhere, in a pretty small house, and own a restaurant in "town," which is like one street. At one point, Spencer calls his best dude Brody and is all, "She is from a different world." Heh. Throughout the show, Heidi's parents try to figure out what went wrong between her and her former best friend Lauren (this was filmed after the allegations that Spencer and Heidi had leaked Lauren's sex tape had come out, and Heidi's new nose and boobs had been plastered all over the tabloids), and gently suggest that maybe spending all her time with Spencer isn't such a good idea. But it's the scene where Heidi's parents take Heidi and Spencer out to dinner at their restaurant that let them see his true colors for themselves. Which is to say: He's a crazy, possessive maniac!
