Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television,

Ashton Kutcher's Los Angeles home was targeted in a burglary prank.

Police rushed to the Two and a Half Men star's Arrowhead Drive mansion on Wednesday after receiving a distress call from a woman who claimed she was the victim of a violent home invasion robbery, but the case is now being treated as an elaborate prank known as "swatting."

The alleged victim called 911 and said she had locked herself inside one of the bachelor pad's bathrooms after three gun shots were fired and that "people were either injured or dead," according to TMZ. Three men were detained when the Los Angeles Police Department arrived on the scene, but it is now being reported the suspects were workers who were renovating the property under Ashton's authorization.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt reconciled quickly after filing for divorce last summer, and now they’ve finally admitted it was all a hoax. The two former MTV reality stars recently revealed their motivations to Life & Style magazine.

According to the magazine, the duo spent the $10 million they earned while starring on The Hills, and now they’re on the verge of filing for bankruptcy.

“After they found out The Hills would not be renewed earlier this year, Heidi and Spencer concocted a plan to get attention by divorcing shortly after their anniversary. The reality duo tell Life & Style there was interest in a series covering their split from British TV network ITV, so they splashed down cash to move their act to Costa Rica. But that deal fell through and soon after, they called off the divorce proceedings and reunited.”

"Divorcing was the only way to keep Heidi's career going because everyone hated me so much. Look at Sandra Bullock -- her divorce from Jesse James was the best thing to happen to her image,” Spencer Pratt illogically explained to the magazine. “Who wants to hire the jerk from The Hills?”

Now, there’s a $10 million question.

Turns out we were right after all … we think.

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag looked like anything but a couple on the brink of a February divorce when they were spotted recently celebrating Heidi’s 24th birthday. The couple was also recently stopped traveling (together) back to the States from Costa Rica. Now, new

rumors about their trip outside the country have been unearthed, and there’s strong reason to suspect the entire breakup was a publicity stunt … which is just so Speidi.

A source says the couple shared a house together for most of the summer, making extensive changes to the property while they were there. Trees were planted along the front of house to provide privacy, the pool water was changed from chlorine to salt water…they even fired the gardener. The couple announced their break up in May. Heidi Montag officially filed for divorce in July.
