(CBS) – For https://www.queen999.club Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, life has taken a dramatic 180-degree-turn.

The couple, who made a nice chunk of change while starring on MTV’s “The Hills” and skyrocketed to tabloid fame with her plastic surgeries and his questionable publicity stunts, say they’re broke and now living at Pratt’s parents’ house in Santa Barbara, Calif.,  because of the free rent.

In an interview with The Daily Beast, the two talk about their short-lived reality TV career and share a few regrets.

“We were living each other’s mistakes. Everything we were doing, in retrospect, was a mistake,” Pratt, 27, says. “The second we continued on our quest for fame was a mistake. This isn’t a business. That was the big thing I didn’t get: Reality TV is not a career. Anyone who says, ‘Oh, you can have a career in reality’–that is a lie.”

As for the money, the duo say they burned through it all to help their image.

“I probably spent a million dollars on suits and fancy clothes. My whole million-dollar wardrobe–I would never wear that again. They’re props,” Pratt says. “Everything we were doing, we were buying props. I bought a big blue monster truck just to drive it on ‘The Hills’ for an episode. Never drove it again.”

Montag, 25, adds, “I thought I was investing in myself and my brand. Like Kim [Kardashian]. When she buys these clothes, she’s investing in herself. Because she is a big brand and is likeable. I thought I had that potential. My ego got too big.”

She also shared that while she doesn’t regret anything, she “would go back and not have any surgery.”

“I got too caught up in Hollywood, being so into myself and my image,” she says.
