Not since the days of Dallas J.R. Ewing has there been a TV villain whom fans love to hate as much as The Hills' Spencer Pratt.

The privileged son of a dentist and a stay-at-home mom, Pratt, 24, is the amoral, conniving foil to Lauren Conrad's ultimate good girl - and he isn't lying low now that season three is under way.

"He is so enthralled with being in the magazines," a source tells Us. "He literally has a shrine in his room at his parents' house of all the magazines he has been in."

Even Pratt's carefully orchestrated proposal to girlfriend Heidi Montag, 20, on a Santa Barbara beach in the second episode was cloaked in sketchiness.

The couple denied being engaged to Entertainment Weekly, after telling Us on August 8 that they were, in fact, getting hitched. And the so-called engagement ring that Pratt purchased at an L.A. mall?

"It was free," says the insider of the amethyst-and-gold bauble.

Another source says the question wasn't actually popped: "Spencer didn't propose to Heidi. It's a promise ring. He just knows what people what to see on TV."

Pratt's aggressive quest to dominate the D-list demi-monde has also taken a toll on his friendships.

The Princes of Malibu's Brody Jenner used to be one of his closet pals - and now the two aren't speaking.

One source says it's because Jenner began hanging out with Pratt's nemesis Conrad, 21, again.

According to the insider, Pratt told Jenner he wasn't a loyal member of "Team Spencer."

Jenner tells Us, "It's unfortunate we aren't friends, but I will always consider him family."
