Exclusive: Heidi & Spencer still on 'I'm A Celebrity,' NBC may extend show's run
Though there have been multiple reports today that Heidi and Spencer Pratt have officially quit "I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here" after just one episode, several sources close to the production tell me we have not seen the last of these two particular cockroaches.
Last night's premiere beat "The Bachelorette"'s ratings, and I'm hearing that NBC is so happy about it, they may actually extend "I'm A Celebrity"'s run past the planned three weeks. And, because Speidi was clearly a major part of the premiere's winning formula, I'm assuming the Peacock network will do whatever they have to to keep the couple somehow involved.
Insiders tell me NBC is currently weighing a couple options. One possibility? Having Spencer and Heidi stay on at The Four Seasons nearby. Another? Bringing Spence's sister Stephanie Pratt -- also of "The Hills" fame -- onto the show as their replacement.
But seeing as the girl couldn't handle answering phones at "People's Revolution," I'm not sure how well she'd fare fighting the Costa Rican jungle...
UPDATE: Heidi's sister Holly Montag is reportedly being considered as a replacement too.

Is Speidi already tired of 'I'm a Celebrity'?
****roach is ONE word.
SPEIDI is also one word = a$$holes
not being a watcher or fam of The Hills, the only things I knew about these cretins was what I saw weekly on The Soup. I had enough of him in about 5 minutes and she is just as bad. I was, however, interested in the idea that being a "Christian" seems to give him a p*** on anything he does. What a douche.
Who the f*&*^% cares about Heidi or Spencer?!
Why is these news?
One word
SANJAYA
How is this titled that they are still on the show when in fact NBC is only looking for other ways to MAYBE bring them back?
Because they will continue to be on the show, NBC just isn't yet sure in what capacity.
its a shame NBC plays to these spoiled Hills kids, no wonder the network is in last place
When do they bring the celebrities in?
Look at all the free publicity NBC has gotten over this silly story. Spiedi not only signed contracts and do not have the kind of money to pay damages for walking out, but they know if they really raised a stink, what little career they've gleened from thier F-list celebrity status would end. Who would hire them?
Although it would be like Heidi to whine about how rough the situation is, but then have no problem having her sister put into the situation, surely anything that happens at this point would have been planned from the start.
Why are people watching this stuff?
