Spencer: Heidi Pratt Playboy Cover is "Art"

The Heidi Pratt Playboy cover, unveiled last week, left some fans disappointed. But proud husband Spencer Pratt says his wife's cover is a masterpiece.

"[The pictures are] beautiful art," the loathsome star of The Hills bragged to Access Hollywood while showing off Heidi's "tasteful" pictorial, which features his wife in a skimpy bikini and a Playboy bunny symbol tanned into her dirty stomach.

"Not, like, Picasso art - real beautiful art, you know what I'm saying?"

Heidi Montag agrees the pictures are high class.

"[Playboy] kind of had a vision ... and we brought in Matthew Rolston, who is a very well-known amazing photographer," Montag said. "So, it's more art."

A PROUD PIMP: Spencer Pratt he loves the way his wife's body looks.

"You have to buy it to see her powerful curves. They are powerful!" he says. "It's an honor. I feel like I did something great, like I should get a trophy!"

Heidi "worked out hard" for it, says she. "I worked my butt off!"

The issue, which does not actually feature Heidi nude, but only in "classy" pictures like you see above, hits stands Friday, when Spencer Pratt turns 26.

"Happy birthday, hubby!" Heidi says.
