Spencer Pratt -- the reality star turned Los Angeles mayoral candidate -- has one hell of a political role model ... Jesus Christ himself!
That's right ... CNN anchor Elex Michaelson asked Spencer if he has a political role model during their interview Thursday on "The Story Is with Elex Michaelson."
And Spencer bluntly responded, "Jesus Christ. He was a politician." Elex seemed a bit surprised as he cracked a smile, before changing gears and asking which MODERN politician Spencer is drawn to.
Spencer Pratt's found his safe space, but it means he's gotta go a couple hours north of Los Angeles -- where he's running for mayor -- just to get a bite to eat.
TMZ obtained photos of Spencer and his wife, Heidi Montag, finishing up breakfast Monday morning in Carpinteria, CA ... and folks who were there tell us Spencer and Heidi didn't have any security in tow.
Spencer was rocking a black Heidiwood t-shirt, shorts, and a hat ... and Heidi was dressed casually as they broke bread at Corazon Cocina Sur. For what it's worth, the joint looked pretty empty.
Spencer Pratt looks like he's taking AOC's advice and owning his own story in a new campaign ad ... because he's bringing his Airstream trailer from his burned-down lot to his swanky hotel in Bel-Air ... and it sounds like he fancies himself a "Fresh Prince."
Check out this new ad from Spencer's Los Angeles Mayoral campaign ... he's parodying the theme song to "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" ... made famous by Will Smith.
Spencer raps about losing his Pacific Palisades home in the 2025 L.A. Wildfires and moving to Bel-Air ... taking shots at the city's current mayor, Karen Bass, along the way.
Swirled inside this snazzy snap is a reality TV star from Los Angeles, California who is running for mayor. Can you guess who he is?
He's speaking up for those affected by the January 2025 L.A. Wildfires ... and when he's not spilling the tea on his podcast, he's a doting father to his kiddos.
Spencer Pratt and Chelsea Handler are in a war of words on social media over Spencer's race to become the next mayor of Los Angeles — and things have gotten pretty ugly in an Epsteinway.
Yep ... that's right ... Spencer pulled the ol' Jeffrey Epstein card after Chelsea crapped all over his mayoral campaign, which he launched largely in response to his house burning down during the 2025 Palisades fires. Spencer called out the local politicians -- namely Mayor Karen Bass -- for their purported failures to manage the wildfires.

Chelsea posted a video on Instagram reminding everyone that Spencer is a "straight, white male former reality star" with no previous government experience, which does not make him a legit candidate to replace Bass.
Brandi Glanville thinks Spencer Pratt's got a serious chance to win the L.A. mayoral race ... even if she's not quite ready to throw her support behind him.
The 'Real Housewives' alum veered into politics on her "Brandi Glanville Unfiltered" podcast with co-host James Maas ... mentioning her fellow reality star's run to take over the highest seat in Los Angeles.
Glanville says she's not sure who she's voting for -- she doesn't like incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, but it seems she doesn't usually vote Republican -- regardless, she says Spencer's got a good chance. Nithya Raman was entirely snubbed going without a mention from Brandi.
Spencer Pratt could be back in the reality show biz if he's elected Mayor of Los Angeles ... because he signed a contract to document the first family of L.A.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Pratt inked a deal with Los Angeles production company Boardwalk Pictures to roll cameras as he runs for Mayor. The production team is about to begin filming with Spencer, his wife Heidi Montag, and their kids throughout his political journey.
What's really interesting ... our sources say filming would not stop if Spencer gets sworn into office. The contract specifically provides that the show would go on.
Now we're told Spencer and the production company have not put the cart before the horse. As of now everyone is focusing on the campaign, and they haven't discussed details on how filming would continue if he wins. But the ink is dry in the contract.
Spencer Pratt is using Khloé Kardashian to bash Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass ... editing an old clip from KK's reality show to call his political opponent a liar.
In a new attack ad for his mayoral campaign, Spencer turns to "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" ... Khloé's watching her phone and screaming "liar" as Bass talks about the wildfire that destroyed Spencer's Pacific Palisades home.
The 'KUTWK' is from an old episode where Khloé bashes her ex Tristan Thompson ... but the Bass clip is new -- it's from last week's televised debate between Spencer, Bass, and Nithya Raman.
AOC's got some advice for Spencer Pratt in the wake of the revelation he's not living in his now-famous trailer but rather at the swanky Hotel Bel Air -- authenticity rules, so own your story.
Charliegot the Bronx-born Congresswoman out on Capitol Hill Wednesday ... and chatted her up a subject she knows well ... first-timers entering the political world.
AOC isn't well-versed on reality TV, but she knows a thing or 2 about entertainers running for office. Long story short -- it ain't necessarily good or bad.
Spencer Pratt is an extremely loyal customer, dropping thousands at his favorite Mexican restaurant as part of his campaign for Los Angeles mayor ... TMZ has learned.
According to campaign docs, obtained by TMZ, Spencer spent a total of around $8K for fundraising events at Don Antonio's, on the Westside ... which has been Spencer and his wife Heidi's fav spot since they starred on "The Hills." The campaign docs cover the period between January 1, 2026 to April 18, 2026.

You'll recall ... Spencer and Heidi often shot scenes for "The Hills" at Don Antonio's and have been praising the joint for years. On TikTok, Spencer often posts about his love of the spot.
1:15 PM PST -- CBS has released the full interview that Spencer Pratt had called into question. They additionally flagged that neither Karen Bass or Nithya Raman had any part in editing the piece.
Here’s the full interview @adamyamaguchi did with Spencer Pratt on Thursday.
Spencer is clearly muchhappier since his full story has been posted, tweeting ... "A new era of responsible journalism! Thank you to CBS for posting our full interview so the voters can hear from their next Mayor!"
Spencer Pratt has told CBS to go running for "The Hills" after accusing them of turning his recent interview with them into a hit piece.
The reality TV villain took to X on Saturday to flame CBS for allegedly turning over the footage from his interview at his scorched Pacific Palisades lot to Karen Bass' PR team so they could turn his campaign into a political "sideshow." He also didn't forget to troll Karen for her response to 2025's Pacific Palisades fires.
Spencer has also sworn off CBS for this ... saying they won't hear a peep from him if he serves as L.A.'s mayor for 8 years -- he's just gotta win back-to-back elections first, of course.
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.
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.
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 BushHagerand Sheinelle Jones they were "asking me about people I haven’t spoken to in decades."
