Now that Hugh Hefner’s new memoir called ‘Mr. Playboy’ has been released, do you think The Girls Next Door will be releasing one too? They seem very enterprising to me and hey, it could make for some very interesting reading don’t you think?So, reportedly Hef ’spills all’ in his new book called ‘Mr. Playboy,’ including his time with The Girls Next Door. And of course EVERYONE is interested in the details of his break up with Holly Madison, Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt. But dang if those details haven’t been left out of the first printing — his breakup with the girls happened after his book went to press!

So what would Hef think if the Girls wrote their own ‘Girls Next Door Book’ of life with him? It would most certainly be a fun read. But what would Hef think?“I’m OK with them voicing their thoughts and memories,” Hef said last night during the book signing at Barnes & Noble in L.A.’s Grove mall. “But truthfully, it would depend on what was in there. We had a lot of interesting times.”Hef’s new girlfriends, Crystal Harris and twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon were by his side at his book signing of ‘Mr. Playboy,’ but unlike his very chatty Girls Next Door, they were not talking.

Playboy Playmate Kendra Wilkinson Is Dating Hank Baskett

“The Girls Next Door” is a reality TV program which illustrates the lives of Hugh Hefner’s three girlfriends/lovers: Bridget Marquardt, Holly Madison, and Kendra Wilkinson. The trio of gorgeous/busty/platinum-blondes, live a life of abundance; they’re sort of like queens of the famous “Playboy Mansion”. The Girls receive all the benefits imaginable from a very giving Hugh Hefner, who in return demands the Girls’ unconditional exclusivity to him. However, there seems to be trouble in the land of multi-million dollar mansions and tall palm trees, Beverly Hills.

According to various reports on PerezHilton.com, it has become apparent that there’s now a “Guy Next Door” in one of the girl’s closets, other than the Playboy himself.Kendra Wilkinson is sort of a tomboyish, sports fanatic, “Girl Next Door”, who’s featured in the show as one of the Hefner’s three bedmates.Rumors have been circulating for quite some time about a possible romance linked to an NFL player.Well, we now know who that player is. It is none other than a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles named Hank Baskett.

According to various reports, the two have been seen having expensive suppers all around town, and Kendra has even been spotted at the Eagles games. A fan has been quoted as seeing Kendra, "all over him kissing and sticking her tongue down his throat. It was crazy. She was wearing his jersey and had her hair pulled back. She didn't look so hot. She was doing shots of Patron like it was going out of style. She was at the Eagles game and went to the Main Street Pub after. Hank lives next to Main Street Pub."

The ex-Playboy bunny took to her MySpace blog, on Monday to denied rumors that she is engaged, but she proclaim that she is indeed in love… with Hank Baskett? You’ll be the judge: “hiiiiii just wanna let yall know that I am not engaged! if I was I’d be very happy though n I wouldn’t hide it.. hahahahaha!!!!! Rumors are sooooooooo f***** funny. yaa trickk yaaaaaa lololol!! Love is a beautiful thing n I think the world needs more of it.

Holly Madison Did Not Dump Hef for Criss Angel!

TheDirty.com's report to the contrary, Hugh Hefner's alpha girl, Holly Madison, is not moving out of the Playboy Mansion. And she is not hooking up with sleazy magician Criss Angel, either."I really don't know where this stuff comes from," Kevin Burns, executive producer of The Girls Next Door, tells E! News exclusively. "Holly has not moved out and has no plans to do so. She is very much busy supervising and editing Playmate shoots at Playboy Studios West. She's also been working with my company on several new ideas for Playboy-themed TV shows and specials."

He continued, "Holly's trips to Vegas have been 'mini-vacations' to hang out with friends and to scout for the magazine. She's just having a good time."Crisis averted: The end of GND as one of TV's best guilty pleasures is not nigh, and more importantly, the Playboy empire of high-class hoochie will not want for a queen. Whew.

For her part, Holly posted on her MySpace earlier this week to debunk simultaneous wedding and breakup rumors. About the rumored end of the Holly Era at the Mansion, she wrote, "Hef and I are not breaking up...We are PIC (partners in crime, LOL, Kendra [Wilkinson] came up with that one). We are wrapping up season five of The Girls Next Door and are looking forward to filming a season six."

Hugh Hefner And Holly Madison Break up!

Could it be that “Girlfriend Number 1,” Holly Madison, has finally grown weary of her aging and non-committal boyfriend Hugh Hefner? Madison has been with Hugh Hefner for seven years and has long expressed her desire to marry him- and he has long expressed his desire never to marry again.Now, amidst reports that Madison has been getting rather cozy with illusionist Criss Angel (how does that guy keep getting girls?), many believe that Hefner and Madison are very close to splitting up.

Back in May, Holly may have been hinting that she’d just about had enough, when she reportedly said of her relationship with Hef, “We are no closer to getting married than we were years ago. It’s like a car stalled at the side of the road.” And apparently, Madison is ready to finally get out of the car. A source close to the going-ons in the Playboy mansion told Scandalist, “rumors are indeed true. [Holly] told Hef that she is moving out of the mansion and breaking off their relationship.” We’re not sure how much commitment she’ll find with womanizer Criss Angel…but at least she’s finally jumping into the dating scene with some more age-appropriate men.

But those two seemed to have such a deep and committed relationship…not counting Hef’s other girlfriends, of course. Hugh Hefner must be completely broken up about this, right? Wrong. The source continued, “Hef is actively seeking three new girls to replace them immediately.” It was previously reported that Hef’s other two girlfriends, Bridget and Kendra, are also looking to leave the house. We wonder if this means a whole new cast for the next season of “The Girls Next Door”…something tells us that if he so desires, Hugh Hefner will have no problem bringing in a whole new crop of opportunistic, air-brushed blondes to fill the rooms of his house…and that includes his bedroom.

“She said they will be moving on since Holly is Hef’s main girlfriend,” a source tells OK!. Holly is also getting more involved with the magazine. “Holly is taking a bigger role in the company, directing pictorials,” the source added.Hef’s been married twice before. Do you think he’s ready to give marriage a third try? Will a man who is accustomed to having lots of women be eager to settle down to having just one?

Sexual Details Revealed About Hugh Hefner In New Book

Steve Watts’ new book about Hugh Hefner gives a very revealing look into the early life of the Playboy tycoon and his sexual escapades. Hugh himself says the book is,“This is the most authoritative book ever written about me . . . It’s all essentially true.”For the illuminating book, Hugh gave Steve access to his personal papers, which has allowed Watts to write about all the juicy details of Hef’s early life. In the book, which is entitled Mr. Playboy: Hugh Hefner and the American Dream, Watts reveals that Hef had a foursome with his wife at the time, Millie, and Hef’s brother Keith and wife Rae. The book goes on to give more details of Hef’s sexual experiences, including having sex on the same bed as another couple, Janie and Eldon Sellers, and a porno which Hef filmed and starred in, called “After the Masquerade.”

“It was shot at a friend’s apartment where Hefner and a female acquaintance had sex while wearing masks.”None of this is too shocking, considering he has had up to seven girlfriends at one time, and Playboy bunnies graze the Playboy mansion in nothing more than, well nothing. What did come as a bit of a surprise, was the point at which Hef’s sexual desire was so strong, he had a homosexual experience.

Watts says,“One evening in downtown Chicago he was propositioned and, according to Sellers, he ‘thought, what the hell. Found it an interesting experience. As far as I know, the guy just gave him [oral sex].’ “I guess when you are having sex with up to seven blonde beauties at a time, things could get a little boring. I’m sure Mr. Playboy: Hugh Hefner and the American Dream will reveal a bunch more salacious details.

Hugh Hefner & Holly Madison Split!!

It’s no secret that Holly Madison is in love with Hugh Hefner (maybe his money, but…) and has been hoping to get Hugh’s wedding ring on her finger, it looks like that’s never going to happen.“We are no closer to getting married than we were years ago,” a dejected Holly told Tarts at last week’s “Playmate of the Year” luncheon held at the iconic Mansion. “It’s like a car stalled at the side of the road.”

While the 28-year-old glamour girl may still be holding out for a miraculous jump-start, she found it difficult to deal with her boyfriend’s thoughts on the situation as she sadly turned away while he spoke.“I love Holly very much and I think we’re going to be together the rest of my life,” Hef said. “But marriage isn’t part of my puzzle. It’s not a personal thing; I just haven’t had much luck with marriages.”

But not only is the men’s magazine mogul refusing to commit to just one woman, he’s refusing to give up his passion of perusing pictures of beautiful (yet bare) bodies.“I have no plans to retire,” Hefner added. “It’s the perfect combination of work and play that keeps you young. If I quit work it would be the beginning of the end for me.”Speaking of endings, could his other two “Girls Next Door,” Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson, also be getting ready to move on?“My goal is to be hosting my own show and be happily married with children, so I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately,” Bridget said.
