Have you ever heard of Monet? Cezanne? Van Gogh? Morons. Heidi Montag Pratt’s Playboy spread makes those look like clumsy fingerpaintings.Digital Spy reports,

Spencer Pratt has claimed that his wife Heidi Montag’s Playboy shoot is “beautiful art”.

The reality TV star spoke out about his partner’s photographs in the adult publication at last week’s G.I. Joe Hollywood premiere.

“[The photos are] beautiful art,” he told Access Hollywood. “Not, like, Picasso art - real beautiful art, you know what I’m saying?

“[Playboy] kind of had a vision… and we brought in Matthew Rolston, who is a very well-known, amazing photographer. So, it’s more art.”

The Hills star poses for the cover in a bikini with the Playboy bunny logo tanned on her stomach.

Speaking about Montag’s figure, Pratt added: “See her powerful curves. They are powerful! It’s an honour. I feel like I did something great, like I should get a trophy!”

Montag’s Playboy issue is published on August 14.

Personally, I’d like to see Heidi’s body abstracted into little bits like Picasso’s women, wouldn’t you?

At the G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra premiere, where for some reason she’s brought along her Playboy. Good god, does she sleep with it under her pillow, too?
