De-Bratting the Pratt

Is "fighting cyber crime" the new "ordered into anger management?" After learning from Spencer Pratt himself that he'd be taking a suspicious break from his duties on MTV's The Hills to pursue a career in "maintaining the technological superiority of the U.S. military" -- don't you feel safer already? -- a new report from Us says the real reason Pratt left the show was because he was ordered off by its producers. He'll be attending a six-week seminar in controlling his temper, after he threatened to kill a female staffer who asked him to do something he objected to. [Us]
