Katharine McPhee and her husband, David Foster, serenaded L.A. mayoral candidate and The Hills villain Spencer Pratt at a fundraiser this week. McPhee added some new lyrics to Tina Turner’s “The Best,” singing “Spencer you’re simply the best / Better than all the rest / Better than Karen Bass / And Nithya Raman.” Pratt is running for mayor, with his two biggest opponents being incumbent Bass and City Councilmember Raman. Pratt is running on a “tough on crime” platform, vowing to hire more police officers ahead of the 2028 Olympics and to close a needle exchange near MacArthur Park. An IG post early in his campaign showed a picture of the park with the text “NEVER FORGET WHAT THE COMMIES TOOK FROM YOU” written over it.
Pratt entered politics blaming Bass for last year’s Palisades and Eaton Fires and the ensuing property damage. Pratt’s house burned down in the Palisades Fire, and without homeowner’s insurance he says he and wife Heidi Montag have not been able to rebuild yet. He is currently staying at the Hotel Bel Air after previously saying in a campaign ad that he was living in a trailer on his property.
Besides Foster and McPhee, other celebs backing Pratt include Joe Rogan, James Woods, and his former Hills co-star Kristin Cavallari. His sister, on the other hand, says a vote for him is “a vote for stupidity.”
