Heidi Montag claims she and husband Spencer Pratt used to be 'bigger than the Kardashians' but were BANNED by E! in order to launch Kim's career and reality show


Heidi Montag has revealed that the E! network banned coverage of herself and husband Spencer Pratt at the height of their fame so that the network could catapult the Kardashians onto the A-list.

Explaining the strategy, Heidi said she and Spencer made it a priority to have even their dullest moments turned into headline worthy photos, while others left being captured by the paparazzi up to chance. Although the couple have given themselves credit for 'setting the standard' when it comes to using the paparazzi to one's advantage, Spencer stressed to The Sun that Paris Hilton was undoubtedly the force that inspired most - if not all - aspiring reality stars and socialites. Although Kim is said to have had plenty of people in her corner, Heidi made sure to take a moment to praise the Skims founder for her incomparable work ethic, which solidified her superstar status.
