Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt sold a photo shoot of the pair getting married in Mexico to Us Weekly. The Huffington Post reports:

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt appear on the Wednesday cover of Us Weekly with the headline "Heidi & Spencer Elope!" But were their nuptials a legal marriage, or just an elaborate photo shoot?

Images given to Us Weekly by the couple, show the pair at various stages of a wedding ceremony at a chapel near Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on Nov. 20. The accompanying story features an interview with the Montag and Pratt, as well as details about the rings, Montag’s dress, and the content of their handwritten vows.

The story does not address whether they obtained a marriage license or took part in a separate civil ceremony, which is required by Mexican law to make the union binding.

A couple can register their marriage up to 10 days after a ceremony, but California does not recognize marriage ceremonies outside the United States, according to the state’s Department of Public Health. A couple can petition a court later to have their marriage legally recognized.

We still don’t know if Montag or Pratt are legally married, but that’s okay, because no one seems to care.

We are hearing that Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt got married in Mexico. Congratulations!

Audrina Patridge and Heidi Montag spent the day last week shopping at The Grove in Los Angeles. I wonder if Lauren Conrad stealing boyfriends came up.

Heidi Montag released yet another single. This one is called The Party’s Wherever I Am. She’s trying so hard to be the next gay idol. Whatever pays the bills, eh.

Last year Lauren Conrad was getting paid an estimated $10,000 to $20,000 per episode. This year it’s a lot more. In Touch listed the salaries for each cast member of The Hills non-reality reality show:

• Lauren Conrad: $75,000 per episode
• Heidi Montag: $65,000 per episode
• Spencer Pratt: $65,000 per episode
• Audrina Patridge: $35,000 per episode
• Whitney Port: $20,000 per episode
• Brody Jenner: $10,000 per episode
• Lauren Bosworth: $10,000 per episode
• Stephanie Pratt: $8,000 per episode

In Touch says and insider said:

“The only reason L.C. gets paid more than anyone else is because she demanded in her original contract that no one could ever get paid more than her.”

Lauren can thank Heidi and Spencer constantly whoring themselves in the media for helping to boost all of their salaries, and attract more attention for The Hills.
