She is reportedly planning a return to reality television with her husband Spencer Pratt.
And Heidi Montag has found a good way to throw herself back into the limelight.
The 26-year-old flaunted her body in a white bikini with turquoise accents during an impromptu photo shoot on the beach on Friday.

Heidi paid the staggering amount to achieve her dream body via the means of plastic surgery.
During the overcast afternoon, the platinum blonde stretched out on a sun lounger displaying her toned abdominal muscles.
Running her hand through her flaxen locks, she tried to do her best pin-up pose.

Heidi was also keen to show off the results of her bottom augmentation, turning away from the camera to proudly parade her Kardashian-esque derriere. She later took to the shore's water, splashing around in the sea as she smiled for the lens.
While Heidi is reportedly planning a return to reality television with a new project alongside husband Pratt to start shooting in January, she said recently that she is no longer so obsessed with being famous.
She said: 'My priorities are my family, my husband, my love life and my happiness and everything after that is great.

Indeed, since their time on The Hills, Heidi and Spencer have lost more than $1 million dollars, spending the cash on expenses such as 'clothes, hair and makeup, managers, publicists, agents and lawyers.'
Heidi told Access Hollywood in a recent interview: 'I’ve never really counted, so I’m not sure how much we lost, a lot… over a million or so. If we would have saved our money, it would have been better.'
However, one of Heidi's main expenses has been the cost of her plastic surgery - estimated to total around $30,000.

But Heidi said she would never go back under the surgeon's knife following the experience, saying: 'I would never do it again and I would never recommend it for anyone. It was way over my head. I should have researched it more.
'I wasn't told the repercussions and what would happen emotionally and physically and how much pain I would be in. I just focus now on being healthy and alive and strong.'
