Reality television darlings Spencer and Heidi Montag Pratt can’t stay out of the news for long. Heidi has just appeared in the September issue of Playboy, while Spencer was said to be asking for a sunbathing fee. Access Hollywood reported the request ahead of a poolside appearance at the Atlantis Paradise Island beach resort in the Bahamas – a claim that was swiftly squashed by a representative for Pratt.

The rep said bona fide news was that Heidi has gone back to using her maiden name of Montag professionally. The couple wed in Pasadena in April and Heidi at the time decided to adopt Pratt. Montag is set to take the Miss Universe stage to perform a song from her debut album Unleashed, which was released in July. The Miss Universe 2009 Pageant airs in the US on August 23.

More pop fashion…Heather Mills has debuted her new recycled fashion line at a charity event in Los Angeles. The celebrity activist, who is already launching a vegan café and a frozen foods range, appeared at a star-studded event at the Highlands Nightclub in Hollywood for the Celebrity Catwalk Show to help raise funds and awareness for National Animal Rescue. And the 41-year-old showed off her Be@1 collection, which restyles and recycles charity shop clothing, drawing huge cheers from an appreciative crowd. Before she premiered her fashion line, Mills was presented an award for her work for animal rights work, in particular launching a campaign against J. Crew for using fur from China.

But before Mills was handed her prize, she appeared upset by Celebrity Catwalk host D-Ray joking: “This woman has given away limbs” to earn her award. After he failed to get a response from Mills on stage, the US actor asked “Haven’t you?” Mills retorted: “Have I what?” before D-Ray said Mills had a sexy accent. Among the stars to attend the event, which was co-hosted by Girls Next Door star Bridget Marquardt, were Hugh Hefner, The Hills star Stephanie Pratt and American Pie actress Shannon Elizabeth, who helped Mills on the catwalk by modelling some of her clothing. Every year in Hollywood, top celebrities lend their time and talent by hitting the catwalk for charity, raising funds and awareness for National Animal Rescue.
