Give MSNBC some credit, they did not bow down and cave to DListed celebrity demands for ridiculous perks to attend the White House Correspondents gala.

The most overhyped and talentless hack reality actors on the Planet, hideous polyester designer of tarty frocks, Heidi Montag and human barnacle Spencer Pratt, were denied their demands and subsequently pulled out of the gala event.
Page Six reports that the plastic surgery enhanced "Hills" reality TV star "backed out of the White House Correspondents gala when she couldn't get expenses paid for her Svengali-like boyfriend, Spencer Pratt."
MSNBC had extended an invite to Montag to be a guest at their table.
"Then Spencer got involved as her manager," a source told Page Six. "He demanded first-class tickets for both him and Heidi - even though he wasn't invited."
MSNBC wasn't having it, and Pratt canceled Montag's appearance and had the nerve to say, "It wasn't 'A-listy' enough."
Now Page Six claims a rep for MSNBC totally denies the two non celebrity "stars" had ever been invited, saying, "We are not having, nor did we invite, any celebrities to sit at our table."
Page Six claims Montag and Pratt are saying that a scheduling conflict is preventing their arrival.
