Uh-oh. Spencer Pratt is talking about having babies. This can't be good for the gene pool!

Right now, The Hills villain (Hillian) and the love of his totally authentic life, Heidi Montag, are filming scenes for CBS' How I Met Your Mother. I'm told they're shooting with Kim Kardashian in front of a green screen and none of the other HIMYM castmembers are involved. (Somewhere, Neil Patrick Harris is saying a prayer of gratitude.)

We just chatted up Speidi, and not only does Spencer insist he knows "the Mother," he and Heidi also talked about her now infamous "firing" scene last week on The Hills...

So, HIMYM. What can you tell us?
Spencer:
We're really thrilled and excited...It's an honor to be up there with other guest cameos like Britney, who else? Mandy Moore, Heidi Klum, so we're honored to be in that clique.
Heidi: I thought you were going to say Heidi Montag!
Spencer: Of course, queen of the world!

You're playing yourselves?
Spencer: Yes, and I am the Mother! You heard correctly. Besides that pregnant man this year, I'm the other one in America.
Heidi: I hope I'm not the Mother. I don't want to be a mother, not yet.

I hear you guys are part of a scene that's all about going to the bathroom?
Spencer: You have to tune in. I don't want to get in trouble giving away their storyline.

Have to ask you, Heidi, that Hills scene last week where Brent Bolthouse fired you for having a drink on the job seemed pretty fake. When you saw it, how did you feel it turned out?
Heidi: I haven't seen it; I don't know what it looked like.
Spencer: So you're saying that she wasn't really fired from her job, is that what you're insinuating?
Heidi: Is that what it was?

A lot of viewers emailed in to us to say that it looked very set up and forced...
Heidi: I mean, I'm a lightweight, so if I have one drink it affects me a little more than I think, so I never drink. I don't know...It was very shocking to me and a little bit out of control.
Spencer: Maybe her surprise made it look...Her reaction wasn't as real?
Heidi: The surprise was very hard.

Anyone buying it? Anyone? Bueller?
