Swine Flu is literally sweeping the world, and ground zero is in the heart of Mexico. I'd say this near-pandemic is a tragedy, except some good may come of this yet, as I just learned that Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are also in Mexico.

"We're definitely wearing the facemasks everywhere we go," Pratt said today on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show. "We're not playing -- I'm not trying to get pig flu. We're in isolation, we're in full hiding." Montag later added, "Every second, we're washing our hands."

The pair, who just got married, are actually not in the disease riddled paradise for their honeymoon. Instead, Heidi is shooting her new music video, "Sex Ed." (We all remember what a joy her last video was) They are expecting to go on their honeymoon next week.

"I think were discussing with MTV going to Tahiti or Fiji, somewhere tropical and exciting," Pratt said. Asked if MTV is footing the bill, Pratt said, "We'll see. Since it is a recession, we might just be going to Santa Monica Beach!"

I'd actually like Heidi and Spencer to come back to America. I want them to come straight to the set of The Hills, with all their friends waiting for them sequestered in an air-tight room. With a little luck, everyone will be too sick to film any more episodes of the show. Swine Flu, you could be my new best friend... just don't get too close.
