Oh god, please let him be joking. I want to believe that he's not serious, but he's said as-stupid-crap before and meant it. Ugh, please, let him be joking.

Spencer Pratt has found a new way to royally upset his haters.

The Hills star, 25, tells Usmagazine.com that he is changing his name ... to "King Spencer Pratt."

"I've decided since there is a Queen of England and a Prince William that there should be a king of America," he tells Us. "I nominate myself for that role."

Pratt thinks his wife Heidi Montag deserves a royal title, too.

In a recent interview with The Hills: The After Show, he called her "the new, modern-day, 2010 Michael Jackson," who was famously known as the King of Pop.

"Michael Jackson's in heaven," he said. "The Holy Spirit now has extra Michael Jackson juice, so boom! For all we know, Heidi gets possessed with some of that Michael Jackson divine spirit." (Us Magazine)

Actually, having Spencer as a king wouldn't be such a bad thing. They still allow the people to revolt and behead the ruler, right? Viva la revolución, bitches!
