"Reality" TV "stars" Heidi and Spencer Pratt are Hollywood's new faces of "Christianity" (sorry for all the quotes, but trust me, they are necessary). Heidi has supposedly been a Christian for some time now, and her new husband Spencer was recently baptized by Stephen Baldwin. Sorry if I'm not too excited.
Heidi and Spencer have primarily gained their fame by being obnoxious on MTV's pseudo-reality show The Hills. But they have really turned it up a notch on NBC's I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, combining their obvious self-promotion with Christian lingo. Before praying in the jungle, Spencer announces that he would have voted for Patti Blagojevich's husband for president (yes, it's who you think it is). After all, Patti and Rod are the "Heidi and Spencer of politics." Way to make the rest of us Christians look like morons, Spence.
In other news, right after Heidi yelled "hallelujah" at Spencer's baptism, she signed her name on a deal to pose in Playboy. But don't worry Church, People Magazine reports that the photo shoot is "tasteful."
Only in America.
(in the spirit of Spencer and Heidi, this blog post is a shameless attempt to get more site traffic)

Mike, good post. This is the kind of pop-culture-Christianity that we, as an age group, are so tired of. I cannot understand how this is what has become of what started as such a counter-culture rebellion on religion.
