"Feminist Hero," McCain supporter & star of "The Hills" Heidi Montag is not registered to vote
Duly Noted

Heidi Montag May Want to Think About Registering Before Voting for John McCain



Earlier this week, Hills star Heidi Montag put an end to mounting Beltway chatter by informing the world that she would be voting for creaky war hero John McCain in the upcoming presidential election. She really is a "feminist hero," just like the New York Times said! Except for one minor detail: Montag isn't actually registered to vote.

At least not according to voter registration officials in her hometown, Crested Butte, Colorado, or her current place of residence, Los Angeles County, who told Radar by phone that no one named "Heidi Montag" exists in the database of registered voters. A Lexis search confirmed that Montag isn't registered anywhere else in Colorado, either. (Her rep could not immediately confirm Heidi's voter status). Maybe Radar advice columnist/Montag pal Spencer Pratt knew what he was talking about when he warned her to be careful about making an endorsement!

According to Los Angeles County law, Heidi has up to 15 days before the election to register. To make things easy, we've provided a list of places she can do so here. Oh, and for the record: McCain lost the Colorado primary, where Heidi really could have helped, but won California just fine without her endorsement, thank you very much.

3. Yes, Heidi Montag is an excellent nom-de-screen.
Seriously, if that weren't her real name, her agent could have come up with much better.

On the other hand, I encourage her to vote for Bush III*





*since it won't count anyway! :rofl:

4. Yeah, that was my first thought, but...
...why ruin a good story by giving her the benefit of the doubt.

:rofl:

2. What an inspiration! I just read what makes her a "feminist hero, too:"
According to Bellafante, silicon enhanced vixen Heidi Montag is a "kind of feminist hero" Gloria Allred would be proud of because she chastises on/off boyfriend Spencer Pratt for taking the flat screen TV with him after he moves out;

Excuse my slipping into '80s Valspeak, but it seems to fit: PUH-leeze; gag me. :puke:

5. Anyone who has ever seen an episode of the Hills knows that Heidi Montag is no "feminist hero"
She spends half her time backstabbing and gossiping about the other women in her life.

She spends the other half of her time allowing her fiance Spencer Pratt to emotionally abuse her.

(I am ashamed to admit that I know enough about Heidi Montag to explain this, however...)

6. Until her "endorcement" I hadn't the foggiest idea who
this stick with big boobs was.

So why does she matter then?

7. She doesn't matter.
She's just in the middle of her 15 minutes of fame, and the media gloms on to any "stick with boobs" talking about politics.

10. Ahh, so maybe she's trying to be "controversial" to extend her
15 minutes to 20. LOL

9. So she's proved herself an idiot on the show, AND in her voting choices!
One more to get the trifecta, Heidi!

You do know what "trifecta" means, right?

11. Well, if an internationally famous star like her is going to endorse McCain- I'll have to
reconsider my vote. :sarcasm:
