The reality TV couple who literally wrote the book on being famous are back in action! Albeit walking more slowly than usual.

Spencer Pratt, 31, and his 28-year-old co-star wife of six years, Heidi Montag, popped up on L.A.'s Robertson Boulevard — a street so beloved by photographers it's known as "paparazzi alley" — on Tuesday. Of course, they were being filmed and, surprisingly, it wasn't because they were doing a bizarre photo shoot or making another terrible music video.

The couple were shooting a pilot for a new show on WE tv, according to the Daily Mail. Earlier this year, the same network featured Speidi on the reality stars version of its show Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars, and the Pratts relish any time in the spotlight, so we're guessing the report was probably true. At least they'd like it to be.

Spencer was walking with a cane that could be mistaken for an accessory meant to attract more attention, but it sounds like it's needed. He explained on a recent episode of his podcast, The Spyson Hour, that his knee is "done for."

But don't feel too bad for him, though, because he's loving the attention it attracts. "It's almost worth it because of my new fashion accessory that I'm rolling around with it," the ever optimistic Spencer said.

Since their last show ended in March, Lauren Conrad's arch-enemies on The Hills have been lying relatively low, kicking back with Heidi's family in scenic Crested Butte, Colorado; taking incessant selfies; and being inducted into the Reality TV Awards' Hall of Fame. You know, normal stuff.

Sorry, guys, this doesn't leave much hope that the Kardashians will ever go away.
