Heidi Montag Painkiller Addiction?

Is Heidi Montag hooked on painkillers? That’s the scoop a group of pals close to the reality star spill in this week’s edition of Us Weekly. Insiders say the reality star has become hooked on the painkillers prescribed after her marathon plastic surgery earlier this year.

We can’t say we’re surprised, but are they suggesting she wasn’t on drugs when she decided to get 10 cosmetic procedures in one day?

“She’s a shell of her former self,” a Hills tattle blabbed to the mag.

Following a rash of weirder than usual behavior from Heidi and her handbag hubby Spencer Pratt — ie: changing their names to “White Wolf” and “Running Bear” and blowing thousands of dollars on a collection of crystals — the couple have “crossed over to this bizarre place,” says the source.

“They are addicted to the fame. As The Hills winds down and people start to care less, they are desperate to get back that high.”
