Now maybe we know where Heidi Montag gets the whole attention whore thing from.

Her mother.

Anytime a parent pulls a Michael Lohan (a.k.a. goes running to the media about their kid’s problems) I get suspicious. The latest parent to do so is Heidi’s mother, Darlene Egelhoff, 46.

One good thing about this woman – she can’t stand Spencer Pratt either.

She says,

“He’s manipulative and seems to have power over Heidi. I would like to see a blood test from Mexico. It wouldn’t surprise me if he had her drugged.”

Ok, now who’s doing the drugs, lady? Let’s not get carried away here, these two are like peas in a pod.

Anyhow, she continues, “Spencer has tried to cut everyone out of her life. I’ve been honest with Heidi, and it’s caused our relationship to decline. I’m more devastated about that than the marriage, because I’m confident the marriage won’t work out.”

Momma goes on to say that before good ol’ Spenc came into their lives she and Heidi were inseperable.

“She was my Velcro, always attached to me. I want the best for my daughter – and he’s definitely not it.”

Yeah, when kids grow up they usually don’t hang out with their parents very much. Sounds like mom is jealous. Maybe because Heidi was her meal ticket – or maybe because she just hates Spencer that much.

She doesn’t stop there with her Spencer bashing. “I think Spencer wants to possess Heidi more than marry her. God says love your enemies, but I never expected it to be my son-in-law.”

When asked how long she expects the marriage to last she says bluntly, “Six months. I think it’s the biggest mistake Heidi’s ever made.”
