Reality TV star Heidi Montag was a victim of bad plastic surgery in the last few years, a multiple offender who took her physique to circus sideshow limits with the late Dr. Frank Ryan. 

It's been quiet on the Heidi front since the faux divorce plans she raised in the media, to extricate herself from the Aryan Svengali knows as Spencer Pratt.

But now she's back, and desperately trying to create a reality cocoon in Bravo's "Real Housewives" lucrative franchise.

Not so fast says Andy Cohen, the loquacious and media friendly chieftain of the popular network.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" will not have the Pratt's on their roster of scandalous high dollar domesticity any time soon.

On Tuesday, Montag Tweeted, "Watch out Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Here comes Heidi," and linked to an online report that said she and husband Spencer Pratt were in talks with producers to possibly join the Real Housewives franchise.

Apparently Spencer Pratt then told RadarOnline.com the same day that his people were in talks with the Bravo reality series to discuss the couple joining the cast in its second season.

On "Watch What Happens Live" the Bravo executive Cohen dropped all political correctness and diplomacy, and told the audience no way, not on his watch:

"Professionally, I'm not supposed to discuss any negotiations so I have to parse my words here," Cohen said on his show Thursday. "That trash is delusional and I would sooner stab ... knives into my own eyes than see her on this network."

Heidi still got her fame addiction serviced, Cohen gave her a publicity plug: "But good news, Heidi, you're on my show tonight," Cohen continued, "because you're the Jackhole of the Week."
