Spencer Pratt offered an apology after landing in hot water for comparing the cancellation of his reality show to the 9/11 tragedy that killed and injured many people. "['The Hills' getting cancelled] was our 9/11," the former MTV star initially tweeted.

"I'm not going to make dumb celebrity excuses about being taken out of context," he added. "I just said something dumb and potential hurtful to a lot of people and that's all there is to it. I'll likely say something dumb again, but I know I need to check myself on this one. Again, apologies to anyone I offended and for being insensitive. Much love, Spencer."
