Heidi Montag’s High Hopes For a Music Career

On again-off again couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were spotted enjoying a shopping trip together in West Hollywood, California yesterday.

And it sounds like the “Hills” babe is keen to look at a future in the music industry. With the release of her debut single “Higher,” Montag reached #7 on the iTunes Top 10 pop chart, despite being panned across the board by critics.

Of her mild success, Heidi proclaimed, “Looks like all the haters are also buying it!” Although, all of the negative responses took their toll on the singer/actress’emotions.

She told press, “I just started sobbing uncontrollably. I cried myself to sleep that first night after my video came out. I just couldn’t understand why people I didn’t even know felt the need to be so cruel and hurtful toward me. I am just a 21-year-old from a small town in Colorado trying to follow her dreams.”

Meanwhile, Spencer tried to rationalize the negative reaction. “I just held her and told her it was going to be OK. This is just part of being an artist. If it were easy, everyone would be a pop star.”

And Pratt claims that Heidi’s follow-up single/video will be released “within the month” and that it will “blow people’s minds.”

We loved Heidi’s “Body Language,” but “Higher” isn’t that good.
