Andy Cohen, the executive producer responsible for casting on the \u201cReal Housewives\u201d franchises, has specific criteria he looks for in potential cast members. He seeks individuals who are eager for fame, outspoken, unreserved, outgoing, and often possess a natural sense of humor. While Heidi Montag may seem to meet some of these requirements, Cohen has expressed no interest in bringing her onto the show.<\/p>\n
Cohen clarified that he doesn\u2019t personally know Montag and didn\u2019t watch her on \u201cLaguna Beach,\u201d the show that launched her career. He believes Montag\u2019s prior notoriety from MTV, particularly her role on \u201cThe Hills,\u201d makes her an ill-suited candidate for the \u201cReal Housewives\u201d franchises. Cohen pointed out that being closely associated with another show and network could potentially complicate her integration into the Housewives\u2019 world.<\/p>\n
Montag, on the other hand, believes she would be a suitable addition to the \u201cReal Housewives.\u201d She expressed her desire to join the franchise, contending that Cohen\u2019s judgment on her suitability may be influenced by his preference for Lauren Conrad, her former associate. Montag argued that her background as a reality star makes her a logical fit for either the Orange County or Beverly Hills franchises.<\/p>\n
Cohen emphasized that his decision regarding Montag has nothing to do with her past relationships or associations. He admitted to having limited familiarity with the shows Montag previously appeared in. Despite not being considered for the \u201cReal Housewives,\u201d Montag has remained active in the reality television sphere, featuring in shows like \u201cThe Hills: New Beginnings\u201d and \u201cCelebrity Big Brother.\u201d<\/p>\n
While being cast on the \u201cReal Housewives\u201d seems unlikely for Montag, she and her husband, Spencer Pratt, have embarked on a new venture by launching their podcast, \u201cSpeidi\u2019s 16th Minute.\u201d The podcast serves as a platform for the couple to reflect on their experiences in Hollywood, discussing moments with paparazzi, reality TV dynamics, and unexpected celebrity success. Montag and Pratt aim to regain some degree of stardom through this podcast, hoping to extend their time in the spotlight beyond their initial 15 minutes of fame. The podcast, \u201cSpeidi\u2019s 16th Minute,\u201d debuted in August 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
