Amid rumors that Hugh Hefner’s main squeeze Holly Madison has been hooking up with another major playboy (magician Criss Angel), a Playboy Mansion insider not only confirmed that the rumors are indeed true, but also exclusively told Scandalist that Holly is leaving him. “[Holly] told Hef that she is moving out of the mansion and breaking off their relationship,” said our source as we were hunting for gossip at MTV’s VMAs.
Wait! There’s even bigger news … Because Bridget and Kendra are intending to leave to pursue their own careers, Hef is looking to replace all three bombshells from Girls Next Door. “Hef is actively seeking three new girls to replace them immediately,” said our source.
Could it be true? Holly always seemed to be the most loyal and devoted to Hef. Has Criss Angel worked his magic on yet another Hollywood lady — making her disappear from her long-term relationship with Hef?

this is so sad….poor hef, he just wanted some platinum blondes around to “love” him…..
September 7th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
IF this is true, it is not hard to believe. She wants to have a baby before a certain age, and she has not kept that a secret.
He could marry her and have a child, he could keep her in his life and have another a beautiful son or daughter as a result.
She is probably the smartest most loyal straight forward girl who would ever be committed to him, it will be a tremendous loss for him if he loses her.
September 8th, 2008 at 12:33 am
I hope this is true, I love the show but hated Hef and Holly and hope they both are miserable right now! Team KDUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 8th, 2008 at 1:26 am
i mean SHE WANTS TO MARRY THIS OLD RAISIN but he’s hugh hefner THE INVENTER OF THE TERMS “PIMP” AND “PLAYA” of course marriage wasnt an option. everytime she even brought up having a child or a wedding with him he’d KINDLY brush her off. it was apparent that she was a showgirl…. NOT ONLY THAT but i saw an episode of girls next door today and they were looking for replacements for all three of the girls… HES HUGH HEFNER. he replaces. one of them left so hes like WHY DONT WE JUST REPLACE ALL OF YOU GUYS? ill miss kendra tho. shes the only one whos not ugly/ barbie like tho.

I am TOTALLY a Big fan of the girls next door…i cant beileve its over…i know that Kendra and Bridget wanted their own careers.and i understand it but to tell everybody out there….with out these three GIRLS IT WILL NOT BE THE SAME GIRLS NEXT DOOR! ! ! i dont even think i could watch it without them…..Thanks Kendra
September 9th, 2008 at 12:13 am
great then heff should pick me to be the new girls next door. haha
September 9th, 2008 at 6:23 am
I’m kind of shocked at this news, Holly always seemed to genuinely care for Hef and seemed to be working hard towards working in production and design for the Playboy magazine. Maybe the desire to have a baby has gotten so strong now that she needs to leave Hef and the Mansion for it to happen. She was always my favourite as Bridgitte always seemed to be just a paler version of Holly and Kendra always seemed to be out for what she can get. It wont be the same without her, Holly was the glue that held the whole show and relationships together.
September 9th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
I think that she wants more than what Hef (God bless his soul) he can give her, ie; a wedding and kids. Best of luck Holly, Kendra, Bridget, and Hef!
September 9th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Here’s a reality show for ya, Get rid of the girls next door Hef, and hang with the Nurse Next Door. I’m a naughty nurse I’ll take good care of ya.
Think about it this it could be some good clean fun and I can take care of you all at the same time.
Nurse Deb
September 10th, 2008 at 12:33 am
I figured it would happen b/c Holly wants a wedding and Hef wouldn’t give up his other two just for that. No surprises here

September 10th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
she wanted a baby and he didnt.
September 10th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
Criss Angel is garbage! I’d rather do Hef than that nasty “magician” any day of the week.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:05 am
I can’t believe Holly would leave Hef. She is in love and would like to marry him. However Criss Angel does have it goin on!!!! =D
BUt I still dont think Holly would leave Hugh Hefner!
I got your back Holly
September 11th, 2008 at 12:51 pm

HI MY NAME IA RASCHEED AND I WOULD LOVE TO B 1 OF HUGH HEFNERS GIRL.. ILL REPLACE HER.
September 13th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Holly was NEVER for real, all her loyal devoted “I love puffin” was rubbish. Anyone that couldnt see past that needs glasses. I have always thought she was incredibly fake. Working her way up through the business and carving out her future………if you look closely you will see $ signs in her eyes. The fact she left hef for another man is prove she never loved him.
September 13th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
of course she wanted to have this baby, next in line to the throne…….are you people stupid, she never loved him, she loved the money and the life style
September 14th, 2008 at 6:31 am
Leave Holly alone. This is bogus. Read her blog on myspace. They’re still together and in-talks with filming Season Six of The Girls Next Door.
September 14th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Holly would never leave hef!!! If The Other Girl’s Bridget & Kendra are as smart as they seem to be they will stay right where they are!!! You Go Hef’s Girlfriend”S!!! Girl’s & Hef Your Fan’s love you!!!!!!! Wish you only the best!!!

Confirmed a rumor and that’s all. They are still in love or whatever. Leave it be and know that Holly is alot smarter than that - Criss Angel has nothing to offer her and she would know that. Yup a rumor indeed so no worries to GND fans.
September 21st, 2008 at 11:37 am
I don’t believe it. I’m gonna have to hear this from more than 1 source before I believe it.

NOOOOOOO WAYYYYYYYY……….MISS HOLLY, IT CANNOT BE TRUE, I JUST LOVE (NOT IN A BAD WAY, I AM MARRIED WITH 3 DAUGHTERS OH…… AND 2 GRANDCHILDREN
WATCHING THE GIRLS NEXT DOOR. THEY ARE AWSOME…….POOR HEF, SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THIS ISNT TRUE
September 23rd, 2008 at 12:01 pm
i figured. holly wants to get married and have a baby. i don’t blame her. as for Kendra, she is a crack up. her laugh is contagious and i love how she’s herself and not prissy or fake. Definitely she would be someone i’d hang out with since she is crazy like me. i’m 39 and still flashing people and laughing like a maniac. i just do these things when my kids are with their dad.
i wish all the girls well as they seemed they had a good time, did alot of travelling and prob. met people they never thought they would.
hef seems nice and is set in what he wants in life and shouldn’t have to change. so the girls are doing also what they want to do. i have to say all 3 had good personalities and good hearts. hope they all keep in touch.
btw, what turned me onto the show was watching Talk Soup where they would always play a clip of kendra laughing. i had to see what that was about.
maybe hef could hook up with whiny daisy la hoya.

September 24th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
Aww…. How sad. Poor Hef. He’ll never find another set of girls like Holly, Kendra, and Bridget. I love Bridget. Holly always seemed a little too fake for me. I love the show. Watch everytime its on.
September 25th, 2008 at 12:18 am
Oh, Gawd, please not whiney Daisy La Hoya!!!!
I’m 48 and have been watching this show ever since it came on. I’m actually a little sad that this has come about. It’s not like Holly ever made a secret about it.
Mr. Hefner, you have everything you could possible want. Why can’t you give Holly the only two things she wants in the world? Marriage to you and a baby…..
September 26th, 2008 at 9:33 am
The show the “Girls Next Door” have nothing to do with Hef. I did not watch it because of him. I watched it because I though the girls were interesting? They ought to go do their own show. No one is interested in Hef. Sorry Hef it is not you or the mansion. The mansion is weird and creepy, by the way. The fact that they call it a “mansion” is even weird. It is a stone house.
September 26th, 2008 at 9:54 am
You know what I have always wanted to see, is Hef and his secretary get facelifts. That is a show I would definitely watch. I am not going to be interested in watching a show with Hef in it if the girls leave.
But not windswept looking facelifts but a lot of little changes such as a little lateral brow lift, midface lift, Mary’s neckline, some really nice hair coloring and styling. None of this coronal lifting where the hairline is pulled back (that always make someone look older) but maybe a prehairline lift.
Hef owes Mary (his secretary). Plus she is a tall and elegant woman. I would love to see her changed a little. Also, I would really like to see Hef look younger. It is a if there is a double standard with Hef here. The girls have to look good but he does not do much to fix himself up.
He would look a lot less older if someone made his nose a little shorter and made it stick out rather than down. He has always looked like a witch, even when he was young. Not that being older or looking older is a big deal for me. For him age is obviously an issue. It would be very interesting to watch.
A good show would be about the girls. They ought to have their own show and do all the same things, with Bridget doing all her themeing. After all this is all about the girls and the other girls that visit Hefs house. No one goes to Hef’s house to be with him. All of Hollywood goes to Hef’s house to be with the GIRLS that go there. So Kendra, Holly and Bridget ought to have that type of set up. They are soooo much fun.
October 1st, 2008 at 7:08 am
Wow what a suprise Holly is dating someone her own age and is leaving Hef. The only thing this girl saw was a paycheck after Hef dies and when she realized it wasnt going to happen she jumped ship like he was already dead.

I love the Girl’s Next Door, Bridget is my favorite. Hef you should have settled down while you had someone like Holly who loved you and would have taken care of you. Your loss. If you let these girls go you will never be able to say “Life is Good” again. Anyhow love the show. I even watch the repeats:) Kendra is just cool:)

Hefner is still married to his current wife. She lives practically next door and comes for dinner with their kids all the time. Holly Madison is so dumb to think she has a future with this old guy. He just uses her and she allows it, to further the Playboy empire and income.
