Darlene Egelhoff, reality star Heidi Montag’s mom, actually does real work for her paycheck.

Darlene struggles to pay the bills after her restaurant of 21 years closed. Now she tells Inside Edition that she is employed as a maid in Crested Butte, Colo.

Egelhoff admits that some of her new employers recognize her from The Hills. “That’s very humbling for me and I very much appreciate that experience because I don’t ever want to get full of myself and think I’m too good to do anything,” she says.

Darlene claims Montag has no idea about her financial trouble because they haven’t even spoken in 9 months. Darlene objected to Heidi’s plastic surgery and it caused a rift between the two.

Engelhoff now writes a blog called Metamorphosis of a Mother in an attempt to reconnect with Heidi. She hopes estranged daughter Montag reads it.

In news I’m sure shocks the bejessus out of you, Heidi Montag has called off her divorce from Spencer Pratt.

The two have been pictured together in recent weeks, and Heidi’s been wearing her wedding ring again, so the news is not surprising.

Yesterday Heidi made it official by filing a motion for dismissal at L.A. County Superior Court.

Heidi originally filed for divorce in July, but of course we all knew it was for publicity.

Boring. So over it.

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have reconciled after a very odd and rather lengthy estrangement. Spencer has cut his hair and shaved off his infamous beard after a year of growth an effort to win back Heidi. The couple appeared to be relaxed and in love after a bitter few months of separation.

On Heidi Montag’s 24th birthday yesterday, she, Spencer Pratt and friends (they have friends?) spend the day at the Santa Barbara Zoo. For her birthday dinner they ate lobster and fish on the Santa Barbara Pier.

Here’s the proof, Heidi and Spencer are back together. Notice Heidi’s wearing her wedding ring for the first time in months.

Barf… I don’t need breakfast now.

Heidi Montag takes advantage of the warm Central American waters by attempting to surf in Costa Rica. The former “The Hills” star was seen wearing a stunning tie-dyed bikini with a starfish ornament in the middle. Montag’s estranged husband Spencer Pratt was deported from Costa Rica at the weekend for felony possession of a firearm. He has been banned from ever visiting the country again.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt spotted together at the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer event held in Santa Barbara, California today. Heidi Montag, who went unnoticed, was at the event to show her support for breast cancer research. Montag, who was seen with a bandage on her nose and baseball cap pulled down over her face, also wore a pink Avon Walk for Breast Cancer top. Spencer Pratt, who was only yesterday deported from Costa Rica for allegedly carrying a firearm while traveling back to California, sported a long scruffy beard and an American flag baseball hat and a wrist watch on each arm. The couple who arrived and left separately appeared eager to see one another as Spencer sprinted across the field to greet Montag.

Although Heidi insists they are divorcing, they definitely put on a united front this weekend!

Spencer looks good considering he was arrested on Saturday at the airport in Costa Rica. He was nabbed for illegally possessing a firearm. Bad boys, bad boys, watcha gonna do?

Spencer Pratt is definitely someone we love to hate. He’s the king of bad publicity, and gets some sort of sick pleasure from pissing people off. The person at the brunt of most of his antics is his soon-to-be ex-wife, Heidi Montag. At this point he realizes he’s been a major ass, and he’s sorry for it.

He sent an apology to Heidi via the Associated Press. Part of his letter is below.

Spencer Pratt on Wednesday issued a long apology to the woman he’s divorcing, Heidi Montag, saying he’s planning “intense soul-searching” and pursuing “appropriate avenues for my issues.”

“Divorce can be a trying, draining, and emotionally devastating experience for all involved,” Pratt, 27, tells PEOPLE. “Despite these hardships, most individuals manage to conduct themselves with dignity and maturity. I did not – I failed spectacularly.”

Addressing his actions toward Montag, 23, he says, “I horribly embarrassed the one person that meant the world to me. For my outrageous and infantile behavior, I offer Heidi my most sincere apologies.”

He didn’t specify what actions, but Pratt has been threatening to release a sex tape involving Montag, launched rants against her on Twitter and has been relentlessly pursuing her in Costa Rica.

“Over the years, her love, support, and friendship were always given, but never properly cherished. I let her down,” he says. “She never deserved the pain and anguish I put her through, and although I don’t expect it, I hope in time she’ll be able to forgive me.”

He adds, “Even though our relationship has changed, I will always count her among my best friends.”
