Well, that didn’t take long. Barely a week after Heidi Montag hired psychic Aidan Chase to guide both her pathetically godawful career and her spiritual destiny (assuming there’s a difference, in her case), she gave him the boot. Heidi even released a statement on the matter, a statement so literate and coherent it must have been written by someone else:

I have decided to part ways with Mr. Chase both as a manager and as a psychic and will scrutinize my business decisions more carefully in the future…. I will now be managing my own career as a strong and independent woman.

Montag didn’t give any specific reason for the decision, although she made vague allusions to Chase’s behavior on the sets of Just Go with It (where Heidi has a cameo) and The Hills. There were even vaguer suggestions that Chase might have tried to sign on Audrina Patridge as a client, which says a great deal about his uncanny instinct for spotting potential greatness. Meanwhile, Heidi will be managing herself. She’ll have to limp along without Aidan Chase’s spiritual guidance, but at least she’s found a manager better than Spencer Pratt.
