After their “spiritual” wedding ceremony in Mexico last month, newlyweds Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are moving on to Phase Two of their plan to dominate reality television.

The Hills’ resident fame mongers have devised the ultimate scheme to maintain their celebrity status and continuing line their pockets with fistfuls of cash; Heidi and Spencer are having a baby!

Master manipulator Spencer has cajoled Heidi, 22, that a tiny bundle of joy would be the ideal cash cow for the couple, Star Magazine (Dec. 22 edition) claims.

“He’s been telling Heidi a baby would do wonders for their careers and pocketbooks.”

“Spencer sees all these other celebrities making millions of dollars selling pictures of their newborns, and he wants in on that action. In his mind, having a baby would be a goldmine…He’s convinced her to get pregnant,” offers a Hills spy, who adds, “They’re both shameless and will do anything for money!”

In addition to potential paydays from photos and possible endorsement deals, Heidi and Spencer reportedly believe churning out some crotchfruit could be the best way to get their own MTV spinoff.

“They think a Newlyweds-type show featuring them as young parents would be a huge hit.”
