The Girls Next Door

HOLLY MADISON: WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

Holly Madison became famous overnight when Hugh Hefner declared her his ”#1 girl.” She starred on the popular Playboy reality series The Girls Next Door for five years and young guys aspired to date her and young girls wanted to BE her. She left the show in 2010 with considerably more fame and money than she had before. Holly found success performing in Las Vegas, started a family there, got a divorce there, and now she’s moved back to LA. She’s still beautiful, works out faithfully, but there’s one FLAW. Those AWFUL hair extensions hanging over her shoulder! It’s time for a hair intervention…

HOLLY MADISON: IT’S A WHOLE NEW WORLD

In the light of what’s happening now for women, what in the world does Holly Madison think when she looks back at her years with Hugh Hefner? Remember, she lived with him from 2002 to 2008, along with two other Playmates, but she was #1 because everyone expected Hef to marry her. The Girls Next Door series (about Hef and his three girlfriends) made Holly famous and she summoned up the courage to leave before the show ended. Since then she married, had two children, and is in the process of getting a divorce. Holly is whipping herself into shape by working out with Tracy Anderson now that she’s about to be single again. We think she’d be ten pounds lighter if she just removed all that fake hair.

KENDRA WILKINSON HAS A LITTLE “MINI-ME”

Hugh Hefner’s former playmate on The Girls Next Door, Kendra Wilkinson, has an adorable little two year old little girl named Alijah. Hopefully, Alijah won’t follow in her mother’s footsteps as a “glamour model.” Luckily, Kendra’s husband Hank Baskett seems like a nice guy and will have bigger aspirations for his little girl. Recently Kendra and her Girls Next Door costar Holly Madison have been badmouthing each other as they have conflicting memories of their days with Hefner. Above, Kendra and Alijah arrive at a Woodland Hills Park to watch Hank Jr, 6, play baseball.

HOLLY MADISON TO JILTED HUGH HEFNER: “I TOLD YOU SO”

Meanwhile, Hugh Hefner’s former longtime girlfriend Holly Madison is in Las Vegas promoting her book “The Showgirl Next Door: Holly Madison’s Las Vegas,” and she drew quite a crowd at the Paris hotel. You’ll recall Holly left Hef after years of togetherness because he reused to marry HER or pursue having a baby together. Holly was shocked when Hef promptly took up with Crystal Harris and they quickly got engaged. She was suspicious of Crystal’s motivations and it turns out Crystal lived up to expectations by dumping Hef days before the wedding.

HUGH HEFNER, 84 AND CRYSTAL HARRIS, 24, ARE ENGAGED. SO WHAT?

It’s funny how people react to the news that Hugh Hefner, 84, just got engaged to his 24 year old Playmate girlfriend Crystal Harris. Some people laugh, some are horrified, and others are outraged. Hello – we’ve seen it all before with Anna Nicole Smith and her 89 year old billionaire in a wheelchair, J Howard Marshall. In fact, this is a fairly common situation when it comes to lonely billionaires and aspiring blondes. Whether Hef will really go on with a wedding remains to be seen, but that ring bought him the attentive company of Crystal Harris for the time being. Hef just wants to have fun and enjoy his money in his declining years. And why shouldn’t he? He worked for it. Crystal Harris knows she will never have to worry about money again. Two happy people. What’s the big deal?

KENDRA WILKINSON IS PETULANT IN FRIGID MINNESOTA

We didn’t realize that Kendra Wilkinson had turned into such a diva – or else she’s REALLY grouchy about being in chilly Minnesota. Kendra and her Vikings ballplayer husband Hank Baskett arranged to have their baby Hank’s first haircut done for “E!” cameras at Dick’s Sports Barbers there. They forced EVERY barber in the place to sign a confidentiality agreement in advance! (Would Angelina Jolie do that?) When they arrived in the parking lot and hopped out of their purple truck with no plates, the threesome was approached by CJ, our intrepid fellow gossip columnist who writes for the Star Tribune. CJ greeted the Basketts and Kendra freaked and dragged the two Hanks to their truck. But not before she muttered something about a “bitch” and made unpleasant hand gestures. Kendra blew off the shoot and left, making a big deal out of nothing. All they had to do was walk inside the barbershop, so Kendra’s outrage at the sight of one cold but harmless reporter was unjustified. The film crew was left behind looking puzzled.

HOLLY MADISON IS STILL LAUGHING AT JACK BARAKAT’S JOKES

Against all odds, Holly Madison’s romance with All Time Low musician Jack Bakarat is still going strong after three months. Holly’s currently performing in Peepshow in Las Vegas and Jack’s a frequent visitor. Not only are they seen at parties and clubs all over town, but they celebrated Holly’s 32nd birthday together at Tao nightclub on December 3. Jack, 22, is obviously having tons of fun with the former “Girls Next Door” star. Jack’s adoring fans might not be happy to hear this.

Former Girl Next Door Holly Madison, 30, has been single since she dated Benji Madden briefly at the beginning of this year. Lately she’s been having fun with Jack Barakat, 22, guitarist for the punk band All Time Low. Jack, who’s noted for his sense of humor, has an enthusiastic female following that wants him to stay single.

KENDRA WILKINSON: IS IT PLASTIC SURGERY OR MAYBELLINE?

We love to see how celebrities have evolved through the years. RadarOnline dug up this photo of Kendra Wilkinson back when she was a stripper in her hometown of San Diego. Besides her obvious implants, do you think she had her nose done? Most important of all is the fact that her makeup skills improved dramatically. A little goes a long way.

KENDRA WILKINSON: STILL PRETENDING SHE’S UPSET BY SEX VIDEO RELEASE

How dumb does “Girls next Door” star Kendra Wilkinson think we all are? She just did an interview with Ryan Seacrest at “E!” in which she boo hooed that she was “extremely embarrassed” that the sex video she did as a teenager was released by Vivid Entertainment. She didn’t acknowledge the fact that SHE has been trying to negotiate a deal to release the video for several years. Finally, her male partner in the video sold it successfully and he’s sharing the profits with her. According to RadarOnline, Vivid says her video provided their “biggest sales day in history.” Most significant is the fact that Kendra already got her first check for the video – $680,000. Certainly that eases a lot of her “pain.”
