The Hills

TMZ broke the story ... Heidi separated from Spencer and is moving to Malibu with BFF Jennifer Bunney.

Bunney tells us Heidi felt an obligation to "The Hills"
to stick it out until the show wrapped. Curiously,
Bunney says she and Heidi will shoot a Malibu-based reality show this summer.

Heidi has not made up her mind on whether she'll
divorce her hubby, Bunney says.

As for why the marriage hit the skids, Spencer, Heidi says, was so controlling she lost her friends and family. And now, we're told, Heidi's mom wants to reconcile with her daughter. No word if Heidi will be receptive.

Heidi's rep tells TMZ, "Heidi is looking to move out due to all the fake bad press that Spencer controls. She's tired of it and is looking for a place and wants to focus on her acting career."

We're told Heidi -- pictured above with Spencer in Malibu last Friday -- is looking for a new place to live ... in Malibu.

As TMZ first reported, Heidi and Spencer called the police on Heidi's mom a few weeks back ... so there's been plenty of turmoil.

A source close to Heidi and Spencer tells TMZ the tension in the relationship has been building for a while now ... "It wasn't just a sudden thing."

Now it makes sense ... On Tuesday, Heidi tweeted, "I am not Heidi Pratt, I am Heidi Montag."

Brody Jenner was also runnin' around the beach with his shirt off.

Just click through the damn photos already -- it's pretty frickin' hot.

Holly has been a staunch defender of her mother during the televised family feud with Heidi and Spencer Pratt on "The Hills."

TMZ broke the story that Heidi and Spencer called police today after her mom, Darlene, showed up at their house and wouldn't leave.

We just spoke with Heidi, who tells us, "My mom [Darlene Egelhoff] just showed up to the house unannounced ... and after what she did to me on national TV, I have no desire to see her."

Heidi's referring to a recent episode of "The Hills" in which Darlene told Heidi she did not approve of her plastic surgery. On this week's episode, Spencer claimed Darlene "tried to rape [Heidi] emotionally."

Heidi tells us she immediately notified her personal security team when her mom showed up "pounding on the door."

Heidi claims Darlene is currently speaking with police.

Montag continues, "Her showing up is completely out of line and psychotic. I’m getting a restraining order against her."

So far, no arrests have been made.

The professional reality TV star hit up the MGM Grand's Wet Republic this weekend in Las Vegas, where she let it all hang out in a bikini.

We'll miss her most of all.

After the people formally known as Heidi and Spencer announced their new names, TMZ spoke with a rep from the Rosebud Sioux Tribe of South Dakota, who told us, "Continued stereotyping such as this by people ignorant of our traditional ways is very disrespectful and only hurts our efforts to curtail these stereotypes."

The rep claims they're especially upset because "the names they have given themselves are legitimate names in our tribe." And they're not the only ones pissed at the MTV couple ...

So ... goodbye Heidi and Spencer ... hello White Wolf and Running Bear, respectively.

A rep for the couple tell us Spencer decided to give up his previous moniker, King Spencer, because it was "too much of a burden to have to carry the weight of royalty. "

Instead, Running Bear claims, he and Heidi "are getting more in-tune with our spirituality ... and will be known as the name our creator has given us – our true native-AMERICAN names."

Jason Wahler is going for an all-time international party boy record. The former "Hills" star just got charged with two counts of DUI after his second alcohol-related arrest in a month.

According to the Orange County District Attorney, Wahler -- whose blood alcohol level was allegedly .15% when he was busted on March 19 -- faces six months in jail if convicted.

Just a week earlier, Wahler was arrested after a bar fight in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico -- then mysteriously bailed out and traveled back across the border to start more trouble.

Jason Wahler was arrested last night -- in the United States for a change -- for allegedly driving under the influence.

Newport Beach PD tells us Wahler was popped last night around 10:54 PM. He was driving a 2008 Chevy Tahoe and described himself to police as "an actor."

He was released this morning under his own recognizance.

As you may recall, Wahler was arrested in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico earlier this month after a bar fight.

Wahler was cuffed in Cabo last Thursday and thrown in the pokey after getting in a fight. We couldn't find any record of Jason yesterday when we called various jails.

Today the Consulate told TMZ Jason was released seven hours after being locked up. As for why jailers let him out: Wahler signed a document keeping the terms of his release secret. We've never heard of that either.

Jason's dad tells TMZ as far as he knows no charges were filed against his son and he's back in L.A. His dad says Jason tells him he was not drinking and was actually released after one hour.

Sources tell TMZ it all went down at the Pink Kitty nightclub in Cabo San Lucas where Wahler allegedly got into a scuffle with someone inside the bar.

We're told security escorted Wahler outside after the alleged fight where cops manhandled him and tossed him into the back of a pickup truck.
