Over the weekend, the Hills’ Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt ventured east and headed to the Borgata Hotel & Casino where they hosted Saturday night at Murmur. Before heading inside to listen to the sounds of DJ Eric Cubiche, OK! sat down with the dazzling couple.

How is your weekend going?
Spencer: We’ve had two of the best dinners: one at Bobby Flay and the other at SeaBlue.

What was it like directing Heidi in her video for Higher?
S: She really directed herself. She was like ‘I’m going to do this’ and it was so much fun. It took us 20 minutes. We were already at the beach, we had a boom box with batteries, and I was playing it so she could hear it and sing along. It cost $0. Anybody that says negative things about it, it’s like, give me $2 million and then let’s see.

And what was it like being in a bathing suit? Were you intimidated that the world is going to see you like that?
H: I love the beach, love being in bathing suits. I feel like it was another day at the beach pretty much.

You looked great in it. I want the stomach and the body!
S: Heidi does more sit-ups than Van Damme. Throughout the day, all day.
H: I do a lot.

Heidi, who in Hollywood would you consider a beauty icon?
H: I think Charlize Theron is beautiful and Britney when she was “Britney.”

You have the abs that Britney used to!
H: (Laughing) Thank you!

Since your surgical procedures, do you feel you have more self-confidence?
H: I feel I’m more confident and more comfortable in my skin.

At least you admit it. Thanks for being honest and speaking up.
H: I’m sure every person in Hollywood from A list to Z list has had something done.

Spencer, what is the sexiest part about Heidi?
S: Hands down, her personality. There are 3 billion girls on the planet and they all look different, and Heidi has the biggest heart and has the most faith. She prays for anybody all day. I’ll find her on the floor praying and I’ll ask, who are you praying for, and she’ll say everybody. That is the kind of person I want in my life. Praying for me and my family and our enemies and our friends. That’s what I love about Heidi.

What is your status right now?
S: The status is that I can’t afford the $2 million ring that Miss Montag is looking for.

Take the money for the next video and put it toward the ring!
S: There you go!
H: It’s not enough!

Despite receiving anything but positive reviews, Heidi Montag’s debut single “Higher” reached No. 7 on the iTunes Top 10 pop chart.

“Looks like all the haters are also buying it!” The Hills star tells Us Weekly in its latest issue, on newsstands now.

But the negative responses – “Makes me feel uncontrollably ill,” “beyond pathetic,” and “the crappiest video I have ever seen” were just some of the comments posted on Usmagazine.com – humiliated Montag.

“I just started sobbing uncontrollably,” The Hills star tells Us.

“I cried myself to sleep that first night after my video came out,” she says. “I just couldn’t understand why people I didn’t even know felt the need to be so cruel and hurtful toward me.”

“I am just a 21-year-old from a small town in Colorado trying to follow her dreams,” Montag says.

Boyfriend Spencer Pratt, the director of the video, was there for support. “I just held her and told her it was going to be OK,” he tells Us. “This is just part of being an artist. If it were easy, everyone would be a pop star.”

How did the video concept come to be?

“We were at the beach and, literally, Spencer had his camera and a boom box in the trunk,” Montag recalls of the amateur shoot in October. “We did it in one take, maybe two, and it took us 20 minutes to film and cost us zero dollars.”

“We had other ideas but we couldn’t afford them,” Montag says.

When Heidi Montag’s music video for the song “Higher” debuted this week, there was a strong and unified reaction across the Web. But it’s not the kind of reaction you would expect someone to appreciate. Now, Heidi is thanking people for their comments — even the nasty ones.

Although some PEOPLE.com readers called “Higher” the “worst video ever,” and said her voice sounds like a “chipmunk,” Montag recorded the following message on the gossip site Perez Hilton:

“I appreciate people taking time to write any kind of comment. Do you know how much effort it really takes to sit down and write a comment? I’ve never written a comment in my entire life… you really have to have a lot of passion and thought to write any comment, so thank you.”

Heidi’s former fiancé Spencer Pratt, who shot the “Higher” video, had his own theory as to why it got the reaction it did.

“She’s so beautiful and she’s an unbelievable singer,” he says. “The quality of music and the music video has never been seen before.”

If you haven’t seen the video yet…go here!

They may have called off their engagement, but Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt say they are still very much in love. So how do they show it?

“We love scaring each other,” Spencer tells OK! at the Cloverfield premiere. “We take it to some levels. We always love to out-scare each other.”

Adds Heidi, “I almost gave him a heart attack the other day.”

The fate of the couple’s relationship will be revealed in bonus Hills episodes, airing in the spring, and by then, the two could be hitched already as they are still holding out for wedding bells.

“Hopefully sooner than later,” Spencer says.

Spencer Pratt returned to North Carolina last week with Ron Feemster, the producer of his girlfriend Heidi Montag’s album, to motivate students and donate money to the school they both attended.

Feemster, the 26-year-old producer known as Neff-U, donated $10,000 to the Kings Mountain High School and handed out cash to lucky students, including $1,000 to the student with the highest GPA. In all, nearly $20,000 was distributed, the Charlotte Observer reported.

Pratt, arguably the most hated member of The Hills cast, spoke to children at the Kings Mountain Family YMCA. “He said it’s important for the kids to be morally aware of what they’re doing,” Heather Wilson, the family coordinator there, told the paper. Pratt spoke of how “God has changed his life and how it’s happened in the past two or three weeks,” Wilson said.

Wilson said Pratt was “very inspirational” and “down to earth.”
