Heidi Montag

Move over, Spencer Pratt. Heidi Montag, The Hills' why-is-she-famous-again? blonde has a new fair-haired companion: presumptive Republican nominee John McCain's blogging daughter, Meghan. The duo were reportedly spotted dining together at the Ivy in Los Angeles yesterday.

You might remember that Ms. Montag is a devoted McCain supporter, stating back in April that she's voting Republican because she says she thinks "McCain has a lot more experience." Mr. McCain responded, saying, "I’m honored to have Heidi’s support and I want to assure her that I never miss an episode of The Hills, especially since the new season started."

Ms. McCain has had her own share of the attention, chronicling her campaign travels alongside her father on her blog, McCainBlogette.
