LA Mayor Race

A Los Angeles with Spencer Pratt as mayor would be safer, saner, and a lot cleaner ... at least according to a new A.I. political ad that projects his vision for the future.

The new ad dropped Friday ... and it opens with a firefighter remarking that it's a lot easier to fight fires when there's water in the reservoir. Spencer's running for mayor in large part due to wildfires last year that devastated the city and burned his house down.

Next, a cop looks into the camera and remarks on being allowed to arrest criminals with handcuffs. A woman walking a dog says she doesn't have to worry about stepping in human poop, and a man on a run says the only needles he sees are in hospitals.

The race for the next mayor of Los Angeles is heating up ... with the top three candidates, including reality TV star Spencer Pratt, taking the debate stage ... and Spencer didn't hold back.

Pratt just went hard on L.A. City Councilmember Nithya Raman and incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in a debate at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles ... ripping them and their performance.

Bass is nearing the end of her first term as mayor of the city, after being elected in November 2022 ... she beat out real estate developer Rick Caruso back then, following her time serving in Congress and the California State Assembly.

Spencer Pratt plans on going to Bat for Los Angeles, Man ... becoming The Caped Crusader in a new A.I. political ad bashing prominent Democrats -- and many conservative politicians and commentators online are praising its message.

The new ad dropped Tuesday, drawing from "The Dark Knight Rises" kangaroo court scene ... featuring L.A. Mayor Karen Bass as The Joker, California Governor Gavin Newsom dressed as a French aristocrat -- a clear reference to The French Laundry -- and former VP Kamala Harris, who just endorsed Bass, swilling vodka.

An ordinary citizen begs for help but is laughed at by the three judges and the assembled aristocracy ... until Joe Rogan is forced to shine a large SP in the night sky à la Commissioner Gordon.

Audrina Patridge is backing Spencer Pratt's mayoral run ... saying she knows he'll deliver on his promises.

We caught up with "The Hills" star at the Calamigos Ranch Resort & Spa for the Leading Hotels of the World Accreditation event Friday night ... and, we asked her about her former costar's run for L.A. mayor.

Patridge says, once she realized he wasn't joking, she was downright impressed with Spencer's campaign ... adding she knows firsthand how determined he is once he puts his mind to something.

Jeanie Buss is used to watching the Los Angeles Lakers win ... and, now she's looking to bring that winning magic to the city's mayoral race -- throwing all her support behind Spencer Pratt.

According to paperwork filed by Pratt's campaign ... Buss made an $1,800 donation to Pratt for Mayor 2026 just last week.

Buss probably had more than $1,800 lying around in her couch cushions -- remember, she and her family agreed to sell a majority stake in the franchise to Los Angeles Dodgers owner Mark Walter for $10 billion last year -- but, $1,800 is actually the most people are allowed to donate to a political candidate in the race.

"The Hills" alum Spencer Pratt reportedly has stacks on stacks of cash compared to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass in their respective campaign fundraising for the upcoming mayoral race.

Spencer has raised nearly $540,000 for his mayoral campaign since announcing his candidacy in January, the Los Angeles Times reports. Meanwhile, Bass hasn't even hit the $500K mark, with her tally coming in at just under $495,000.

Spencer's got some serious heavy hitters in Hollywood behind him, including "The Hills" alum and Lauren Conrad's ex Doug Reinhardt and "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" and "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" producer Jeff Jenkins ... plus Katharine McPhee and more, per People.

Andy Cohen had some surprisingly nice things to say about Spencer Pratt’s mayoral campaign -- but the second Joe Rogan got brought up, the conversation went completely off the rails.

During Tuesday's episode of "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen," Kristin Cavallari told Andy she initially thought Spencer’s run for Los Angeles mayor was a joke ... but now she says she truly thinks he could actually pull it off.

She pointed to growing support around him and casually mentioned that Rogan had already endorsed him last week on his podcast ... saying he’d vote for him if he lived in L.A.

Watch the clip ... that’s when Andy pounced.

Lauren Conrad might not be fond of Spencer Pratt ... but he swears she'd vote for him if she saw the s****y conditions in Los Angeles!

Pratt responded to Conrad avoiding the question of whether she'd vote for him for mayor on "Today" -- she simply stated she's not a resident of L.A. since she lives in Orange County, without giving her opinion on his political aspirations -- by claiming she'd "vote for me if she lived in LA and her kids had to walk over fentanyl zombies and human poop on their way to school."

We're not so convinced ... Conrad gave Kristin Cavallari a hard stare after she said, "I will always have a soft spot for Spencer. I think he's great" -- and she also told hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones they were "asking me about people I haven’t spoken to in decades."
