Grasping a hose and dressing like one of our celebrity gossip site's favorite hoes, Heidi Montag is featured in the upcoming issue of Blender magazine.

Heidi is MTV's love-to-hate poster girl, a villainous vixen from The Hills known for scheming and her evil boyfriend and celebrity gossip mainstay, Spencer Pratt. Here are a few excerpts from the magazine's Heidi Montag interview ...

On her gigantic, fake engagement ring from Spencer Pratt:
"It's at home. I take it off at night because it's big and I don't want it to get caught in my hair or scratching my face, and I didn't have time to put it on today."

T.H. GOSSIP NOTE: Mmm hmm. That load of crap you just read is about as believable as Jan Adams saying he's a reputable and licensed medical practitioner.

On some of her career plans:
"I've been dancing since I was 2 â€" hip-hop, jazz, tap, everything. I was a wicked stepsister in Cinderella. I was a fairy in A Midsummer Night's Dream. I was Beatrice in an old English play. Acting, singing, dancing, it's always been in me."

On her acting aspirations:
"I also plan to win an Oscar. I'm very ambitious."

On how Heidi Montag is not a brainless shopaholic:
"I like to read a couple books at once. I was reading the Princess Diana book. I'm reading a book about Chicago and the mob. Right now I'm also reading the Bible, beginning to end. I'm very religious. That's how I've gotten to where I am."

The former star of Laguna Beach and private Nicole Scherzinger nude bedroom scenes, Talan Torriero, has his eyes set on playing sea king superhero Aquaman in the upcoming film Justice League of America. Talan tells MTV Movies:

"You know what I really am pushing for? I really want to be Aquaman in Justice League of America. It's a superhero movie, so it's probably hard to even get in there, but I really want it badly. I really want to be Aquaman so badly."

Talan Torriero with his Laguna Beach co-star and friend, Lauren Conrad.

Talan Torriero says that rather than be delusional and aspire to be Johnny Depp or Jack Nicholson, he'd settle for Ryan Reynolds or Paul Walker at this point in his fledgling career. Or maybe Hairspray star Zac Efron.

"I auditioned for Link in Hairspray [on Broadway]... I love the musical, I watched all the movies and listened to the soundtrack, and it really captured me. But Broadway, it's a dream. Who doesn't want to be under the lights and sing?"

Auditions for Justice League began last month, Talan Torriero said. Recently, the aspiring actor has been linked to former troubled Miss USA Tara Conner.

Among those tryin' out: Adam Brody, Joseph Cross, D.J. Cotrona, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Michael Angarano, Teresa Palmer, Max Thieriot, rapper Common and Friday Night Lights stars Minka Kelly, Adrianne Palicki and Scott Porter.

In the end, the Vanessa Hudgens nude photo scandal actually led to a raise for this actress to star in High School Musical 3.

Marcus Patrick hasn't had the same luck.

The soap opera hunk posed naked for the September issue of Playgirl. A few weeks later, the actor has been fired from his job on Days of Our Lives. Coincidence?

Today is the last appearance by Patrick on the show. While NBC brass claims the decision by the actor to bare it all wasn't related to his dismissal from the series, the timing certainly raises questions, along with a double standard:

How come Tila Tequila naked pictures enable that MySpace vixen to star in her own reality show, yet similar poses by Patrick cause him to be fired?

O.J. Simpson told two friends to "get some heat" so they could bully a pair of memorabilia dealers into handing over sports collectibles and items that the former NFL star said had been stolen from him, one of men testified.

Walter Alexander testified during the preliminary hearing for Simpson - who is charged with multiple felonies stemming from the September incident at the Palace Station Hotel & Casino, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Alexander, a longtime golfing buddy of O.J. Simpson's, said he had asked OJ why he hadn't simply told authorities that the dealers were planning to sell the signed footballs, framed awards and other items of his.

"What are they [police] going to do, take me to jail for taking my own stuff?" OJ Simpson said in between expletives, according to Alexander.

He also testified that the Juice responded, "F**k the police!" when he was questioned about what would happen if the cops were called.

Listening in court, a pained Simpson winced and shook his head. Alexander's account undercuts Simpson's repeated assertions that he did not know that Alexander and their friend Michael "Spencer" McClinton were armed.

Walter Alexander, Michael McClinton and Charles Cashmore have all pleaded guilty to reduced charges in exchange for testimony against O.J. Simpson.

At the end of the hearing, Justice Joe M. Bonaventure will decide whether there is sufficient evidence for Simpson - acquitted in the 1994 murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman - to stand trial.

OJ Simpson and associates Clarence J. Stewart Jr. and Charles B. Ehrlich are charged with an array of felonies, including kidnapping and armed robbery.

Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, tried to attack Walter Alexander's credibility, accusing him of brokering prostitution - calling him a "pimp, not a Realtor" and a shady character who would offer his testimony to the highest bidder.

When Galanter confronted Alexander about his link to an online prostitution ring, the witness' easygoing manner evaporated. He told the attorney to stop yelling. "I'm sticking to my testimony that I'm not a pimp," Alexander said.

Looks like Ellen Pompeo had a lot more to celebrate last weekend than her 38th birthday. The Grey's Anatomy actress her fiance, music exec Chris Ivery, got married Friday at New York's City Hall, reports the Boston Globe.

None other than New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg - a Boston-area native like both Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery - served as the couple's witness.

Ellen Pompeo repeatedly said that she and Ivery wouldn't opt for usual wedding hoopla, preferring a quiet, low-key affair. She made good on that promise.

A city clerk performed the brief ceremony with only Bloomberg and First Deputy Mayor Patti Harris accompanying Pompeo and Chris Ivery. 

Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery: Married quietly in New York November 9.

"They are over the moon," Pompeo's spokeswoman told the Boston Globe.

She and Chris Ivery were spotted at the New York Knicks game Sunday night at Madison Square Garden, sitting next to John Mayer and Minka Kelly.

Ellen Pompeo was back in Hollywood yesterday filming Grey's Anatomy, which is expected to shut down production soon due to the writers' strike.

Turns out The Jonas Brothers are more than just a trio of cute faces.

The boy band was honored at the prestigious CosmoGIRL! Born to Lead Awards last night, an event held at NYC's Hearst Tower.

The pop rock group received an award at the ceremony for making their personal dreams come true, while eliciting a positive change in their communities.

Kim Kardashian was also honored for increasing local convenience store sales around the country with her naked Playboy pictorial.

Just kidding.

But we're serious that The Jonas Brothers will be performing at the 2007 American Music Awards, airing on Sunday, November 18 on ABC. Prepare to check out these studs in action!

Matt Damon has been named The Sexiest Man Alive by People.

While other notable studs were also in contention for the honor - such as Patrick Dempsey, Will Smith and Brad Pitt - one name featured in the upcoming issue might surprise readers: Javier Bardem.

Known right now mostly for sucking face with Penelope Cruz in public, the actor is garnering Oscar talk for his role in No Country for Old Men. And he seems to have a sense of humor about his sex symbol status.

"It just makes me laugh," said Bardem. "I see a guy who looks like he's been beaten with a baseball bat."

But the rising star does at least acknowledge a certain seductive intensity he possesses: "Once you start to get older, you have to focus and be passionate about life day after day."

Amen, Javier. Amen.

The controversial, law-breaking doctor who performed fatal surgery on Donda West has apologized for the tragedy.

"I want to first express my deepest condolences to the West family at a very difficult time," Jan Adams told Entertainment Tonight. "As a medical doctor practicing in this field, I hold sacred the bond of confidentiality that exists between the patient and doctor.

Out of respect of the West family, and the absence of verifiable information, any comment without having first discussing that information with the family would be unprofessional."

And no way the guy who was sued by a patient for getting her drunk and impregnating her wants to be unprofessional.

In a related development, Oprah Winfrey, who had Adams as a guest on her talk show, denied a report that she introduced Kanye West's mother and Adams.

"Absolutely untrue. Oprah Winfrey did not personally introduce nor recommend Dr. Jan Adams to Donda West," Winfrey's rep said. "Dr. Adams taped a segment of The Oprah Winfrey Show on Oct. 28, 2003. Donda West appeared with her son during a taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show on April 27, 2005.

Oprah Winfrey has not been in touch with either Dr. Adams or Donda West since their respective appearances."

All the soap opera fans in the world couldn't save Cameron Mathison last night.

The All My Children hunk become the eighth person eliminated from Dancing with the Stars this season, much to the chagrin of his fellow celebrities.

Helio Castroneves, the last man standing in the competition for next week's semifinals, said he "lost my wing man. Cameron is the Super C! He's a really great guy and we're going to miss him."

Melanie Brown added that Mathison is "hilariously funny," while his partner, Edyta Sliwinska gushed that "I've loved every minute of dancing with Cameron. I'm truly proud of him. I never thought we were going to go so far."

Sounds like Cameron feels the same way, as he told People magazine after the ousting:

"Dancing in front of 20 million people on live television is one of the last things I thought I'd ever do a couple years ago. I am proud that I could dive into something that I knew nothing about, something I am very uncomfortable doing and with perseverance and hard work, I can become comfortable and grow. I know it sounds corny, but I'm really proud of that."

Four celebrities �" Melanie Brown, Helio Castroneves, Jennie Garth, and Marie Osmond �" will compete in next Monday night's semifinal round.

This just in: Kate Walsh is pregnant (with a TV show)!

When Extra asked the recently married 40-year-old actress the inevitable "when are you having a baby" question, Kate Walsh replied:

"Right now, my baby is Private Practice... she is beautiful, strong, and growing every week," referring to her hit Grey's Anatomy spin-off series.

We might take issue with the first two parts of that description, but it's nice that Walsh is having a good time and feeling confident in her new show.

Extra then asked Kate Walsh if she was indeed pregnant, to which she joked: "I'm pregnant with triplets now and I feel really good!"

Kate Walsh married Alex Young, 35, a 20th Century Fox production executive, in September in Ojai, California. Walsh sat down with Extra on the Private Practice set and, for the record, denied being pregnant, explaining:

"Both of us are pretty much working constantly and seeing each other when we can... that's him, the pretty blond guy over there!"

So, looks like no babies on the way just yet for this striking former member of the Grey's Anatomy cast. But we're still big fans of Kate and wish her the best.
