Heidi and Spencer seized a golden opportunity for another ridiculous photoshoot while having some Easter fun with Spencer's niece in LA yesterday. Despite the promos we've seen for the new season of The Hills, it's clear that these two are still together. Even so, things were rocky at the end of the last season after Heidi laid down the law with Spencer and they broke off their engagement. Today the New York Times ran an article praising Heidi for standing up to her controlling boyfriend, and even called her "a kind of feminist hero." So tell us — do you agree that Heidi is a feminist hero?

I don't watch this show cuz it's CRAP!
1Gross to everything
2WTF?? She is no more a feminist than I am Prince Harry's girlfriend!!!! THe New York times needs to stop talkin oout the side of it's neck!!!!!
3
everything about both of them (nods to pinky)
4UGHHH. She's
and
Hey B read the comments on the previous post.
5Heidi a "feminist hero"? That's hilarious. Assuming that Heidi even knows the relevance of feminism is giving that girl way too much credit. I'd feel more comfortable with characterizing her as a capitalist hero or even an opportunist hero. I can't give her much more.
6I just did- haha-
7I will vote "other" as in the writer of that article and anybody who answers yes has to be something OTHER than sober.
8They are both tools.
9Is this a joke? Heidi a feminist? HA!!
10i don't see how anyone could say that heidi is a feminist hero - like lauren said - she's brainwashed and does whatever spencer wants. he's cheated on her and she goes back to him....he's not respectful and she goes back. i think that it takes the femenist movement down a few notches
11There should've been an opinion that said: 'Lol - the fact that she was called a feminist hero is a joke'. I definitely would've picked that one.
12You're a man B!
13I just read US weekly and they rated her as one of the top makeovers of the year--HUUUUHHHH!?!?!?!?!!?
14It's fake....so no she can't be an icon.
15no, brian is THE MAN!
16The NYT seems to keep sinking lower and lower. But I didn't think they'd sink this low.
17okay, okay! I doubt everyone who isnt in our circle enjoys this! Although it is more interesting than Spence and Heidi - haha
18This has to be an early April Fools joke, right?
19Urgh those photos are nauseating. Can't that girl close her mouth, ever?
they both make me sick
20Yeah I'm confused--what is feminist about Heidi? She does not have a life of her own, friends of her own, etc. She spends every moment with her boyfriend and has made of a joke of herself! I don't get this OR the US Weekly article either!! WTF!
21barf barf barf barf barf barf barf barf barf barf barf barf barf
22barf barf barf barf barf barf barf barf barf barf barf barf barf
barf barf barf barf barf barf barf barf barf barf barf barf barf!
what isn't more interesting that heidi and spence?
23haha- lets ask meowtomekitty, she seems to have some insights.
24Seriously, you sort of have to read the article in its entirety to understand what the NYT is getting at. They're talking more about archetypes and less about her character.
25wow, they're really annoying
26well i do agree that she's more of a feminist hero than lauren. but that's about all that i agree with in that stupid article.
27go away already.
28i don't watch this sh*tty show and i'm not wasting time reading an article about it.
29speidi need to GO AWAY
30They must be talking about a different Heidi, cause Im pretty sure this one doesnt even know what feminism means. Thats like saying Pam Anderson is an inspiration to women with small breast. It just doesnt make any sense...
31Good lord. I would ask for them to disappear but the annoying ones nevre go away. cause they always get attention.
32I can't believe she's wearing "my" Stella dress
33She's a feminist hero because she has the ability to say no to her jerky boyfriend? Maybe if she dumped his *ss and got a life.
34That picture of her with her mouth open really makes me want to inflict pain on her! Actually all of them do-
35a feminist for standing up to your boyfriend? that sounds a little dated to me. not to mention the fact that she's still with Spencer, completely changed her body with plastic surgery, and seems generally ignorant overall. "feminist" is not the first word that comes to mind when i think of her...
36What's with the photo-ops?
How much do you want to bet that that's not even his niece.
Next thing, they'll fake a family funeral so they can sob and kiss, etc. So gross!
37I used to think that she was brainwashed by Spencer, but I'm convinced she knows exactly what she's doing now. She spent all of Season 1 bowing to Lauren's will, Season 2 bowing to Spencer's will... Season 3, she started to stand up for herself. Granted, she's a b*tch, but at least she has a spine now.
That being said, it's funny what passes for feminism these days - a girl that got a boob job and a nose job in what seems like an effort to make herself look more like the Playboy bunnies that her boyfriend tried to cheat on her with.
38I think standing up to your deadbeat boyfriend/fiance/clown has more to do with dignity than feminism...and given how short lived that was, not sure you can say she has any of that either.
side note: feminism being defined as a woman standing up to her boyfriend (not talking DV and J-Lo's "Enough" here), makes it sound a bit shallow...I agree with emjean...very outdated.
39Yea right! Didnt her step-brother die a few weeks ago? I guess she got over it, I know everyone greives differently but damn.
40Honestly? does this question even make sense? Seriously she is just a person that wants the attention from the media...nothing else.
41and p.s: I read that article earlier today, and the NYT where clearly making fun of this show and everyone involved in it...is called read in between the lines.
42Its so funny how he's always carrying her around LOL!
43These 2 are so nauseating every time they are photographed...I mean I don't get it...why do they have to pose like idiots all the time!!!!! Even when they are snapped "walking" down the street, it seems to be choreographed and cheesy....these photos are just sickening! YUCK!
44As for Heidi being a feminist hero...hahahah..I doubt she can even spell the word
We all know their afternoons out are nothing but photo ops. But now it is so over the top that it seems like they are constantly living their lives like it is for the next episode of the hills. And Spencer needs to get better shoes.
45observations:
The poor bunny in front of Heidis stank hooha is obviously dead.
I think her mouth is that wide open because she is broadcasting a signal back to her homeworld of "douchebagia" to come and get her ASAP she needs to reboot.
That tree they are fake making out against will be dead in weeks
And spencer the dorks in my 7th grade class called, they want thier look back.
46And for Heidi being a feminist hero, last time I checked feminists' didn't need to be carried around like a baby by their boyfriends.
47I have never watched this show ever and I don't even consider these people celebrities. How can someone be a feminist and have all the plastic surgery she has had done? She pranced around on camera like a Playboy bunny in the making. Seriously, feminist? She is a horrible example for women.
48They do always look staged. Every single picture I have EVER seen of them looks staged and cheesy. Ugh, they make me nauseous.
49I totally agreed with the article. The Heidi conducts herself is the reason I love her so much and can't stand Lauren. Team Heidi all the way.
