After years of dishing out lip on MTV’s The Hills, for once chatty villain Spencer Pratt has been rendered speechless.

Pratt, 26, was walking one of his Pomeranian pooches outside his Hollywood home on Sunday when the toy rope he was holding in his mouth, slipped out, causing Spencer to bite down through his own tongue. The freak accident left the preppy fameseeker with a hole in his tongue that required immediate oral surgery and several stitches.

Spencer was left unable to speak for a few days and is taking the incident “as a sign from God that he needs to continue to keep his mouth shut in 2010.”
We second that.
