Aparently Heidi is still trying to figure out how to break the news of her Playboy spread to her dad, but she discussed it with her Mom who’s cool with the whole thing. Heidi told Extra:

“My mom was so excited she was just, like, pose! God gave you that body, you show off that cute little thing.”

We’d love to be a fly on the wall when Heidi’s Dad finds out about his daughter posing for Playboy, but after that issue his newsstands Friday, we’ll also want to thank her Mom for her support and encouragement to “show off that cute little thing.”

Heidi Pratt’s Playboy Cover

Heidi told Access Hollywood that getting herself in shape for the cover of Playboy was no easy task:

“I worked out very hard for this,” Heidi told Access on the red carpet as husband Spencer Pratt looked on clutching a copy of the men’s magazine.

“I worked by butt off,” she continued. “So if you want to see how I got my Playboy body, you can go to [my Web site].”

Spencer Pratt is pretty excited as well. Aside from the fact that his beautiful wife is now a Playboy model, the issue of the magazine with her on the cover comes out on his birthday.

Cool birthday present!

So some Heidi Pratt (nee: Montag) workout vidos entitled “The Heidi Workout” will be coming to a computer monitor near you in the near future.

According to People magazine:

“Heidi Pratt is definitely proud of her figure, flaunting it in string bikinis at the beach and even doing “some nudity,” for September’s Playboy cover. Now, The Hills star has plans to share her fitness secrets in The Heidi Workout. “Staying fit is something I’m really passionate about,” Pratt, who changed her last name from Montag after marrying Spencer Pratt, tells PEOPLE. “I work out with a strength-and-conditioning coach 90 minutes a day, five days a week.”

Now she’s planning to share the specifics of her routine of “full-body, intense resistance exercises” in a new downloadable workout series developed with trainer Chad Waterbury. The series features full-body conditioning exercises executed as rapidly as possible, “so you burn fat faster,” says Waterbury, who does both light and heavy weights (think 75-lb. kettlebells!) with Pratt to give her body “a hard look with a feminine shape.”

We (hope) wonder if she’ll be doing The Heidi Workout in the same bikini she’s showering in in the photo above?

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag (or is it Pratt….we’re not sure which she’s using) appeared on NBC’s Today show Monday morning (June 15) for a sit down interview post their disastrous performance on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.

Before the interview started, Speidi were forced to sit through an intro video that was not exactly kind to the couple, setting the scene for weatherman Al Roker to start asking the question.

Asked about their appearance, Heidi responded that “I’m not ashamed,” but Roker wasn’t willing to stop there, asking questions about whether Spencer was a jerk, whether the show was all a big act, and more. The best line was asking whether Speidi represent everything that’s wrong with celebrity culture in America.

In a post-interview interview, Spencer went on the attack, saying that “I’m still trying to figure out, was the weatherman asking us questions? I thought we were getting interviewed by Matt Lauer or something….we were thrown off that the weatherman was even trying to talk to Speidi….”

Heidi added, “I was shocked at how rude he was – I was crying afterwards because I couldn’t believe I felt personally attacked. I wanted to say to him, do you feel proud of how you’re talking to me right now?” Someone break out the violins….

Here’s the Al Roker Spiedi video:

Heidi Montag (Heidi Pratt) has posed for the September issue of Playboy Magazine, People has confirmed.

Heidy Montag, who has been all over the celebrity gossip blogs lately because of the on again, off again drama with the reality show ‘I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here,’ then being rushed to hospital in Costa Rica for an ulcer, will adorn the pages of the September issue of Playboy.

A source told People:

“There is nudity. It’s tasteful – she had a lot of fun with it.”

Now all she needs to round up her career are a divorce or two and a secret sex tape of her to show up on the internet.

Holly Montag will be replacing her sister Heidi Pratt on the reality show “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me out of Here.”

Because of all the drama surrounding Heidi and Spencer Pratt with their “We’re doing the show – no we’re not – ok, we’ll do it…” nonsense, producers of the show had a replacement celeb lined up to take over in case anything more happened. RadarOnline reported last week that Holly Montag had flown to Costa Rica and was on standby in a luxury hotel, ready to teke the helm, and it appears to have been a smart move, since Heidi was rushed to hospital after an ulcer started acting up.

Always have a contingency plan when dealing with celebrities. They may need a body double at any time.

The producers of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here have flatly denied allegations that Heidi Pratt (nee Montag) was denied food and drink on the set before she was admitted to hospital.

In a statement released to OK Magazine, ITV (who produce the show for NBC) said:

“ITV Studios, producers of the series, state that press reports at this time are untrue. ITV has been producing this format around the world for many years and the health of the celeb participants are of the utmost importance. A medic and a doctor are present at the location at all times for all participants. All allegations of the celebrities being deprived of food and water are completely untrue.”

In related news, Heidi’s admission to hospital has been attributed to a gastric ulcer. Notably the condition is usually caused by the taking of medicines (including aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen), or through the use of tobacco, alcohol and caffeine. Which begs the question: how can Heidi’s condition be related to the show, because if she was starved, or as another report suggests, fed only water, rice and beans, none are regarded as triggers for a gastric ulcer.

Another report claims that Spencer Pratt is claiming to sue NBC over the incident. Good luck with that.

Not content to let others have the spotlight for more than 5 seconds, Heidi Pratt (nee Montag) is reported to have been rushed to a Costa Rican hospital.

The details of the hospital trip have not been confirmed, but it is believed that Heidi may have been suffering some kind of infection, and no, we’re not referring to her personality this time. Husband Spencer Pratt is reported to be by her side.

Spencer Pratt’s sister Stephanie has accused NBC of torturing the Heidi on Twitter, including locking her in a dark room for three days without food or water.

The pair have repeatedly threatened to, or quit I’m a Celebrity, Get Me out of Here, until 5 minutes later changing their minds again…including one instance of actually leaving Costa Rica, then begging to return. That Heidi’s in hospital now is yet another sad and pathetic attention seeking stunt; it’s a shame really that they didn’t do more than just lock in her in a dark room.

Spencer Pratt has released a “rap” single to promote his stay on on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here titled…I’m a Celebrity.

In the video, Pratt sings to an Iguana, and by that we aren’t talking about Heidi, who sort of moves around in the background through out the entire thing. Tech also gets a call out, with Twitter and iPhones all getting a plug.

There’s simply no other way to say this: I’m a Celebrity is possibly the worst piece of music ever created. Oh, and the video looks like it was shot and edited by a 12 year old boy.

The Spencer Pratt I’m a Celebrity Music Video as follows. Apologies for the quality (no, not just the music, the video quality), and skip straight to the 20 second mark for the start.
