Spencer Pratt wants his money, and he's sending out the Big D to get it.
Last week, Spencer went on the "Jojo, Reagan and the Mix Morning Show" on the radio and claimed that Heidi's unforgettably bad performance on this year's Miss Universe pageant was the most watched TV event of all-time. Well, like everyone else, the DJs didn't believe him. They did their research and found out that Princess Di's funeral was indeed the most watched. By about 1.5 billion people. So, they want their money.
Not so fast, claims Spencer. He tells TMZ he re-listened to the tape, and that he said it was the most watched "performance" of all-time ... not "event." Apparently, Princess Di's funeral doesn't count as a performance ... despite the fact that Elton John performed.
Nevertheless, Pratt believes he won the bet and wants his money. In fact, Pratt tells TMZ he's going to send his bodyguard Big D to the station to collect the cash. Note to DJs -- we know Spencer will do anything for fame, we can only imagine what he'll do for money. Pay the dude.

Two radio hosts are calling out Spencer Pratt for making one of the dumbest bets ever made -- and now they want the attention addict to put his money where his gigantic, nonsense-spewing mouth is.
The hosts of "Jojo, Reagan and the Mix Morning Show" are demanding Pratt cough up the $1,000 he bet them on Friday morning, when he claimed Heidi's performance on the Miss Universe pageant this year was the most watched television event in the history of time and space.
Jojo and Reagan tell TMZ they did their homework, and although the pageant was watched by an estimated one billion people (who knew?) ... Princess Diana's funeral was viewed by 2.5 billion.
And, according to a third grader ... 2.5 billion > 1 billion.
Jojo and Reagan want Spencer to pay up but tell TMZ they don't know how to get in touch with him to let him know. So ... ARE YOU LISTENING SPENCER????

Like any crafty politician, Congressman Robert Brady (D-PA) has found a way to flip-flop on an important issue ... and we're talking about the Mohawk Challenge between Brady and Congressman John Hall (D-NY19) over who would win the World Series.
As we all know, Brady's Phillies lost ... but his press secretary tells TMZ: "The Congressman will not be shaving his head."
Here's the deal. Brady's peeps say the Mohawk Challenge was rendered null-and-void because the only person we could find to take the bet was Congressman Hall -- who happens to be mostly bald. So that technically doesn't make it a Mohawk Challenge, does it?
Now get this: Back when Hall accepted the challenge, he said instead of the mohawk he would shave off the precious few locks he had left -- which a few follically-challenged people in the TMZ newsroom considered a harsher punishment.
So, the question ....

Real men pay their debts -- even if it means getting a mohawk.
We caught up with Congressman John Hall (D-NY) -- at a barbershop, no less -- who says he fully expects Congressman Robert Brady (D-PA) to pay up on their World Series mohawk bet.
So far, Brady's hairline remains intact.

Kim Zolciak claims she was cell-phone bombed with more than 1,100 calls last night -- and "a ton" of nude pics -- when someone posted her personal number on a rival reality star's Twitter page.
TMZ spoke with Kim, who told us Neffe Pugh -- the star of BET''s "Frankie and Neffe" -- posted Zolciak's info on her public Twitter page after an intense cyber-war-of-words broke out late last night.
Kim tells us she woke up to find she had 1,100 missed calls and loads of really, really explicit photo messages -- from both genders.
Kim has already changed her number and tells us she's talking to her lawyer to see if she has any kind of a legal case against Neffe.
Calls to Neffe's people have not been returned.

Lance Bass is taking on a new role: Coffee fetchin' intern.
Bass lost a bet with STAR 98.7 FM's Valentine and Lisa Foxx in Los Angeles, saying that former *NSYNC comrade Joey Fatone would get a perfect score on this week's show ... but Joey landed in the bottom two (with Billy Ray Cyrus, who got the boot).
Now, thanks to Lance's misguided faith in Fatone's footwork, Lance will now spend Thursday fetching coffee, answering phones and performing other menial tasks the station throws his way. Hey boy!
Perhaps Lance should leave his wagering in Vegas.
