Spencer Pratt made a shocking confession just before quitting "I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!" -- he's a total fraud.

A well-placed source who works on the Costa Rican production of the show tells TMZ just before quitting the show, Spencer screamed at producers, "If you give me a script, I'll do what you want. I'm not a reality star. I'm on 'The Hills.'"

Spencer clarified with the following: "I'm a TV producer and a character."

Spencer Pratt the character and Spencer Pratt the reality TV star could not be reached for comment.

Heidi and Spencer have followed through on their threat -- they have quit the NBC reality show "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!"

A source close to production tells TMZ the "Hills" duo walked off the set for good after the live portion of last night's show. It is unclear how the show will handle their leaving on tonight's episode.

Guess they weren't faking ... for a change.

UPDATE -- We're told the Red Cross, the charity Spencer was playing for on the show, now wants nothing to do with the program. It's unclear whether they would have received anything anyway -- but regardless, the Spencer experience left a bad taste in their mouth.

A source on the production of NBC's "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!" tells TMZ the reality duo is not enjoying their stay in the jungles of Costa Rica. In fact, we're told they've already quit the show -- TWICE -- but each time they had a change of heart. Oh ... and they're only on their second day of shooting.

Much like fruit picked straight off the tree, the best "Celebrity Rehab" patients are the ones straight from jail.

TMZ has learned Tom Sizemore, who was arrested early Thursday morning on an outstanding warrant, checked into Dr. Drew's house on Friday to begin taping the third season of the show.

Making the addition of Sizemore particularly interesting is that one of his fellow castmates is Heidi Fleiss -- Sizemore's ex-girlfriend whom he was convicted of assaulting back in 2003. Awk-ward!

We're told Fleiss didn't take too kindly to Sizemore appearing on the show, and she didn't come out of her room for sometime after he showed up.

Bad for Heidi, good for ratings.

Joel and Benji Madden weren't actually Joel and Benji Madden until a few weeks ago -- they were legally known as Joel and Benji COMBS.

According to some court documents, the Good Charlotte twins have officially changed their last name to Madden -- Joel on April 14 and Benji on May 1.

Sources at "American Idol" tell us the margin between Kris Allen and Adam Lambert "wasn't even close" -- and the biggest factor in Allen's win was Danny Gokey.

Here's what we know. The "lion's share" of Gokey's votes went to Kris Allen. The extent of the lopsidedness surprised a lot of the big wigs at "A.I." We were not told the exact votes but our sources say the AT&T scandal had no impact on the outcome -- the spread was that wide.

"Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" -- the show that exploits celebrities who are battling addiction -- is now exploiting a celebrity who has already battled addiction.

We've learned Mackenzie Phillips -- who entered rehab for the 10th time in September 2008 -- will appear on the third season of the show as a "sober coach." Phillips was busted for cocaine in August 2008, but had the majority of the charges against her dropped -- and the final charge will be dropped when she completes a drug diversion program. By all indications, Mackenzie has done a complete 180 and says the arrest saved her life.

The role of "sober coach" on the show was previously played by Gary Busey -- and we know how that turned out.

And we know the other new cast of characters. Let's just say Mackenzie has her work cut out for her.

It was just a year ago that TMZ broke the story that J.Lo and TLC were trying to come to terms on a reality show but J.Lo was adamant that she would not put her kids on TV -- she wanted to focus on ... yawn ... behind the scenes on creating a new J.Lo fragrance. TLC, we're told, wanted to show the kiddies.

Fast forward to Monday night -- Jon & Kate scored an astonishing 9.8 million viewers. TLC sources tell us it's pretty clear the J.Lo ain't gonna sell tickets anymore, so they have shelved the show. As one TLC source put it, "It was on life support for awhile, and now we've just lost interest."

After Drew Twittered that "Mary's choice to mock ... makes me sad," Mary told TMZ she "loves Dr. Drew and wasn't trying to make fun of him or mock him."

But even after TMZ ran a clip where Mary said she liked "Dr. Screw more than Dr. Drew," the real addiction specialist reached out to Mary, sending her the following message on her Twitter page:

"Not mad just sad that you are getting sucked back in, please give [your AA sponsor] a call. I know it must be difficult."

No word if Mary plans to take his advice and get help now ... or wait for the next rehab show to come along.

We've learned Dash, the new South Florida boutique, owned by Kim and her two sisters has been defaced just before the grand opening tomorrow.

Bluffs work at the tables, not in real life -- a lesson one professional poker player could learn after allegedly screwing a company out of big bucks over the movie "Deal."

Gambling Times, Inc. claims in a lawsuit that poker player Scott Lazar (the movie's exec. producer) promised the company a "highly visible" product placement during the film -- which starred Burt Reynolds and Shannon Elizabeth -- in exchange for a $50,000 investment.

But according to the lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, the plug was far from highly visible... because it didn't exist at all.

TMZ has learned VH1 reality star Daisy de la Hoya was rushed to the hospital early this morning after paramedics responded to a 911 call for a "possible overdose."

A source close to the situation says friends called 911 after they heard Daisy making strange noises in her friend's Hollywood Hills home.

When firefighters and medics came to the house, sources tell us Daisy was acting "crazy" -- yelling, screaming and thrashing around. It took multiple emergency personnel to get Daisy into the ambulance.

We're told Daisy is currently receiving treatment at a Los Angeles area hospital.

Hours before the incident, TMZ cameras caught Daisy looking really, really out of sorts on her way out of Les Deux nightclub in Hollywood.

UPDATE: We've learned that Daisy's appearances for this weekend, which were booked by her agent, Mike Esterman have been postponed at this time. They hope to re-schedule in the near future.

The case was postponed until June, but Marty and his girl told us she's forgiven him for the Easter Sunday attack -- an incident that left both of them physically bruised.

When asked if she forgave the former child star, she responded, "I wouldn't be here if I didn't."

Isn't love grand?

Dr. Drew Pinsky gave some tough love to all the recovering celebrity addicts on his new show -- by torching all their sexual paraphernalia.

We're told to commemorate the end of an episode of "Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew," the doc took his new band of on-air wannabe rehabbed intercourse junkies on an outing into the woods -- confiscated their assortment of sexual aides, toys and porn -- and threw them into a ceremonial bonfire. Burn, "Horny Baby Mamas 4," Burn!

Sources tell us the good doctor did play it safe and had fire marshals present.

Can't you just smell the scent of burning rubbers?

Beyonce has officially been cleared of all bad singing charges -- the atrocious supposed "board mix" of her performance on "The Today Show" last year was altered after all.

Just as Mathew Knowles told us, the audio clip that many people believed was leaked from "Today" was indeed a fake.

In fact, TMZ found the person behind the prank who was surprised it went as far as it did, saying, "It's a little bit crazy. No one in their right mind would sound like that, and no one would cheer for someone singing like that."

Apparently, the dude never went to an Ashlee Simpson concert...

Beyonce's dad is on the warpath against the people attacking his daughter for the supposed "board mix" audio of B singing at "The Today Show" -- claiming all doubters of her ability are "idiots."

In a fiery statement to TMZ, Mathew Knowles, who's also Bey's manager, says his daughter was set up. It's one of the best statements we've ever gotten.

"If no one took the time to look at the biggest Inauguration in the history of America then shame on them.

If no one took the time to listen to Beyonce sing 'America the Beautiful' and 'At Last' at the Neighborhood Ball for the first dance of President Obama and the First Lady, and they question Beyonce's vocal ability, they've gotta be an idiot.

At 12 years into her career, the last thing someone should be questioning is her vocal ability.

That would be like questioning if Kobe Bryant could shoot a jump shot. The vocals were obviously altered."
