MTV Reality TV series The Hills hottie Heidi Montag has just proved she isn’t over the hill yet by appearing ‘glamorously dirty’ on the cover of the September 2009 issue of Playboy, but she’s not in her birthday suit inside the magazine.

There are a couple of takes on why Montag is not naked.

Said to be zealously religious, perhaps Mrs Pratt has some notion that getting photographed completely nude is kinda taboo? Ugh.

On the flip, more realistic, side, probably the money wasn’t enough. Wasn’t it just last year when the celebrity gossip world was rife with stories about Montag having been offered $1 million to pose nude in Playboy, as claimed by hubby Spencer Pratt?

A representative for Playboy wouldn’t officially deny that an offer was made, but did say that the figures weren’t nearly as high as Spencer alleged.

Either way, being a genuine admirer of Heidi (clothed or unclothed), something is better than nothing (although nothing is better than something), I was glad to see her pictures and read the juicy interview in the magazine.

Here’s some pictures of Heidi Montag in the September 2009 issue of Playboy in case you haven’t had a chance to lay your hands on it yet:
