Yesterday People reported a statement from Spencer Pratt saying that he's planning to take his leave from "The Hills" to attend to his new calling in life: Fighting "cyber crime." Hmm ... To anyone with a basic understanding of Spencer Pratt, this seems rather ... Uncharacteristic?

"Upon learning of President Obama's declaration that the 'cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation,' I have decided to refocus my energy and devote my full resources to helping America face this and other unprecedented challenges," he says.

"My new mission is this: To do my part in maintaining the technological superiority of the U.S. military and prevent emerging technologies from threatening our nation's security. "With that being said, I am saddened to take this break from filming MTV's The Hills. (Source)

However, the good people over at Us Weekly are reporting a very different version, which is that Spencer got temporarily kicked off of "The Hills" after throwing a giant hissy fit and threatening a female producer.

"He got so crazy that he screamed at [her], 'I should kill you for even asking me to do that!'" the source recounts. "Very rattled" by Pratt's outburst, the producer filed a complaint with the show's top producers -- who then threatened to kick Pratt off the show.

Pratt's team went back with a compromise: "the show agreed that Spencer would leave The Hills for six weeks to do anger management training once a week at home. If he completes it, he can return to the show." (Source)

Required anger management classes; going on a crusade to fight cyber crime. Tomato, toma'to if you ask me. That's like permanently losing your license forever after two DUIs and making the sudden environmental decision to start biking everywhere to reduce your carbon footprint. I know which one Al Gore would be the most proud of, anyway.
