Pratts, for real…



Reality TV personalities Heidi and Spencer Pratt said Monday they want to branch out from MTV’s “The Hills” and star in their own reality show to give viewers a bigger peek into their lives. In an interview to promote their new book, “How to be Famous: Our Guide to Looking the Part, Playing the Press, and Becoming a Tabloid Fixture,” the couple told the Associated Press they’re shopping the idea around to various networks.



They said that while “The Hills”—which doesn’t acknowledge its cast members’ fame—only focuses on a small part of their lives, their own show would reveal everything that happens to them. They also said they’d even be willing to include live segments.



“You don’t get to see our everyday lives and what we do,” Heidi Pratt said.



But the Pratts also said they don’t plan to leave “The Hills” and hope to appear in both shows.



Last summer, the newlyweds also appeared on NBC’s “I’ma Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!” during a break from “The Hills.”



MTV did not immediately return telephone calls seeking comment Monday.



Surrogate court…



A judge is set to begin opening arguments in the trial of an Ohio police chief accused of snooping on the woman who carried twins for Hollywood couple Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick.



A jury was seated Monday in the case of Barry Carpenter, who was suspended as chief in Martins Ferry, the eastern Ohio town where surrogate Michelle Ross lived. Carpenter and Police Chief Chad Dojack from nearby Bridgeport are accused of scheming to sell items from the woman’s home to celebrity photographers.



A prosecutor says Ross and two photographers are expected to testify in Carpenter’s trial.



Carpenter could face 21  years in prison if convicted on all charges.



Dojack’s trial is set for January.



Rock the Casbah…



Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafihosted a soiree in Rome for some 200 young Italian women, but instead of the party they expected the women were given a lecture on Islam and copies of the Quran, a news report said.



At least they got paid. A reporter for Italy’s ANSA news agency went undercover with the women, who were hired for $75 by a modeling agency for the event Sunday evening. Journalist Paola Lo Mele said the women assembled at a hotel, where some were left behind because they were not tall enough or dressed modestly enough.



Those accepted were taken to a villa, where Gadhafilectured them on women’s rights and religion, and urged them to convert to Islam.



“All the girls expected a party with a gala dinner,” Lo Mele told her agency. Instead, “he made a 45-minute speech on Islam and women’s role in Islam. It was a bit of an indoctrination session.”
