Heidi Montag is a Feminist Hero?

We were more than a little bit surprised when The New York Times reviewer Ginia Bellafante called Heidi Montag a “feminist hero” in their review of The Hills. The paper praised Heidi for refusing to give in to her BF Spencer’s demands, even though the two are back together now…whatever. Anyway, Heidi Montag responded to the review in the latest issue of In Touch Weekly:

“I was very honored to be called a feminist hero,” Heidi tells In Touch. “It’s a big deal to be even acknowledged, let alone complimented by The New York Times by such a profound, famous TV critic.”

Her boyfriend, Spencer Pratt, was also a fan of Ginia Bellafante’s review — even though it praised Heidi for refusing to acquiesce to his demands. “Spencer was ecstatic,” says Heidi. “He’s proud of whatever I do.”

The 22-year-old aspiring singer and Heidiwood fashion designer says she considers herself a feminist (“I definitely do!” she exclaims), but was less forthcoming when asked who her own feminist heroes were. “Who are my feminist heroes?” she asked. “ Um… I’ll get back to you on that one!”
