Baby-Hungry Holly Madison Pained To Learn Hef's Pond Was Dry

Kyle Buchanan · 10/16/08 03:20PM

Hugh Hefner is currently undergoing a transformation that bears all the signs of a late-life crisis; after all, he's traded in his young, blond, nubile girlfriends for younger, blonder, face-kicking twins. Sadly, despite the fact that Hef's new girlfriends are still teenaged, he's still not much for children, and ex-Girl Next Door Holly Madison says that it was her fruitless attempts to bear Hef's spawn that forced her to finally pack her frilly underthings and depart Holmby Hills:

Hef's New Twins Do Everything Together — Even Getting Arrested

Kyle Buchanan · 10/10/08 12:28PM

After an existential crisis that left him splayed on his four-poster bed, deserted but for his Viagra and ennui, Hugh Hefner is finally bouncing back with the help of nubile, 19-year-old twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon. The duo's semi-incestuous sister act should help Hef fill the hole left by the wayward Girls Next Door who have abandoned him, but should he still hold a grudge against Holly, Kendra, and Bridget, he's in luck: the twins aren't afraid to beat a bitch down, and they have the record to prove it!According to TMZ, both sisters were arrested earlier this year for felony aggravated battery in the decidedly non-Holmby Hills locale of St. Petersburg, Florida. What exactly transpired in this bunny-on-bunny-on-civilian crime? Says the website:

Hugh Hefner's Break-Up Meltdown: What E! Didn't Show Us

STV · 10/09/08 12:17PM

While the Playboy Mansion has been emptying out for what feels like weeks, Hugh Hefner is only now getting around to acknowledging the recent bust-up with his beloved Holly Madison. And even considering the lithe 19-year-old twins he found to replace her, an interview yesterday reveals a guy whose "down in the dumps" demeanor reflects the corrosive, pajama-clad equivalent of an Ingmar Bergman drama."If Holly says it's over, I guess it's over," Hefner told the AP on Wednesday, adding that Madison is still living in the Mansion despite her recent confession that she's ready to settle down and start a family. Hef also acknowledged telling Madison six months ago that he wanted none of that, apparently triggering an internal crisis about which even he was unaware:

Hef's New Twins's Turn-Ons Include Appearing on 'The Girls Next Door'

Kyle Buchanan · 10/08/08 01:01PM

Yesterday, Hugh Hefner's main bunny Holly Madison confirmed reports that she had escaped the Viagra-fueled fantasia that is the Playboy Mansion, and today brings the strongest rumors yet that Hef has chosen to replace Madison with a set of 19-year-old twins. According to Buzznet, their names are Kristina and Karissa Shannon, and a simple Google search turns up a modeling profile for the duo where they tease (in a grammatically suspect treatise to beat the band) that they will, indeed, be appearing on the next season of The Girls Next Door. The announcement in their own misspelled words (plus two more pictures that are a strand of black dental floss away from being totally NSFW), after the jump:

Holly Madison Confirms She is The First Victim of Hef's Bedroom Downsizing Campaign

Kyle Buchanan · 10/07/08 02:20PM

Today's wintry economic climate extends to all corners of the industry, including Hugh Hefner's stable of girlfriends, where the market had formerly held stable at a secure "three bunnies." Recently, though, Hef's harem has been rocked by rumors of infidelity, shaking our faith in polygamous monogamy to the very core. Now, Hef's main girl next door Holly Madison — recently linked to oily magician Criss Angel — has confirmed the split rumors that Hefner himself had been denying. Says Us:

Is Hugh Hefner’s Pimp Hand Losing Its Strength?

Nick Malis · 09/24/08 12:25PM

Normally when hot chicks stop being attracted to an 82-year-old man, it’s not newsworthy—like reporting on the fact that Clay Aiken is gay. But when that man happens to be Hugh Hefner, it’s time to investigate. Yesterday we told you that Criss Angel was dating Holly Madison, Hef’s number one Girl Next Door. And today, the New York Post is reporting that Kendra Wilkinson has been hooking up with football player Hank Baskett. Only Bridget Marquardt has remained loyal to Hef. Well, as loyal as one can be while being married to some guy from Ohio!?! Great Caesar's ghost, what in the name of Barbi Benton's breasts is going on at the Playboy Mansion these days?Is it possible that Hef is losing his mojo? That women find his wrinkly skin and thinning hair unattractive? That they enjoy the company of a man who doesn’t always feel the need to wear a smoking jacket? Surely these girls aren’t just pretending to like Hef as a publicity stunt while they build up their careers with reality shows and magazine appearances. That would be unconscionable. It’s a sad day in Holmby Hills when a man can’t find true love and happiness with three blond women less than half his age. But does that mean its time for Hef to stop having sex and start drinking prune juice and watching Matlock? Nah. There’s probably an 18-year-old fresh off the bus from Iowa swimming in the Grotto right now. And as long as Hef has Viagra coursing through his veins, he will make her his new girl next door.

Criss Angel Pulls A Rabbit Out Of Hef's Hat

AmyKSays · 09/23/08 12:30PM

As you may have heard, there's some drama brewing in the hills — the Holmby Hills, that is — where veritable antique Hugh Hefner has been holed up in the Playboy mansion with his three The Girls Next Door girlfriends, including reigning hottie Holly Madison. But Holly, who has been Hef's number one squeeze for the past seven years, is finally fed up with Hef - who, unlike all other straight men in Los Angeles, doesn't share Holly's dreams of wedded bliss and babies galore. Shit, she has a better chance of getting preggers swimming in the Grotto than in bed with Hef! Anyway, since domesticated life isn't in the cards, Holly's been cozying up with magician Criss Angel in Vegas - where, true to form, nothing has stayed a secret. Now Hef is threatening that Holly's days of free hair extensions and unlimited edible underwear may be numbered.Clearly, Criss Angel — who has always scored a ridiculous amount of tail for someone who wears guyliner — is one to fawn over. He's got way more going for him than Hef: sperm count, lots of cool tats, and most importantly: magic. But Holly still isn't copping up to her tricks, even after photos surfaced last week of the two canoodling in Sin City. Yesterday on her MySpace, where she suspiciously (guiltily?) lists the magician's A&E's show Mindfreak as her fave television show, she had this to say about her two-timing ways:

'Girls Next Door' Express Their Displeasure At Being Typecast In 'House Bunny'

Mark Graham · 08/19/08 03:25PM

While there is very little dignity in being one of three girls repeatedly porked by a doddering 82 year old, The Girls Next Door have managed to do quite well for themselves. Not only do they have a certified hit television show on their hands (Season Five on its way!), but Holly, Kendra and Bridget have also made appearances on Entourage, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Scary Movie 4 (not to mention Kendra's recent appearance on the front page of the Wall Street Journal). Despite all of their career successes, it seems that the girls are chomping at the bit for a chance to stretch their acting muscles more than most of their extended cameos call for.For instance, this week's episode begins with the girls gathering together for an impromptu table read of the script for House Bunny, the soon-to-be-released Anna Faris vehicle. After pouring through the script, not only do they find out that their appearance is limited to a single page (Page 78, if you must know), but they also bemoan the fact that they've been reduced to bantering about such silly topics as whipped cream drenched pillow fights. Don't worry, ladies; when Brett Ratner finally decides to get onboard with the project he was born to direct, there'll be plenty of time to sleep your way into a role playing someone other than yourself (so long as it's still a Bunny).

Dina Lohan, Mother Of The Century: 'Hef's Girlfriends Are Very Pretty.'

Molly Friedman · 07/14/08 07:40PM

In the grainy land of reality show famewhoring, sometimes a pair of boobs will come together and a cable miracle is born. And that’s exactly what happened last night when we saw our maternal icon, Dina Lohan, meet our paternal icon, Hugh Hefner. On the latest edition of television’s most reliable guide to parenting, Dina taught us some highly unique strategies in order to effectively downsize your son’s balls, fake your way to the fountain of youth via Me-Time, and prove to your tweenage daughter just how insanely awesome and superior you are by making her choose between “Mr. Hot” and a career in music best left for those with actual talent. The newest lessons learned from Living Lohan, below:

Well-Manicured Claws Come Out In Hollywood Catfight Explosion

Molly Friedman · 06/17/08 03:55PM

Sometimes two stories will come along on the very same day and reaffirm one of the oldest Hollywood clichés in history. Namely, that babe magnetism can be yours even if you don't possess looks, charm or gentlemanly ways. Provided, of course, that you have either money or music cred. With that in mind, we'd like to call your attention to two fantasy-worthy catfights brewing today. All kinds of manicured claws are out over the 80-year old borderline polygamist Hugh Hefner and the scraggly rock star Richie Sambora. Why four sets of fake boobs are rubbing up against each other (as Kate Hudson’s baby boy would say) and which contenders are looking like the early “winners” of the ongoing squabbles, after the jump.
