A fight has been raging between two former Playboy bunnies in recent weeks, but the weapons of choice have been words, not pillows.

After Girls Next Door costars Kendra Wilkinson and Hugh Hefner fiercely shot down claims made by Holly Madison in a juicy tell-all, Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny, about her time in the Playboy Mansion, the one-time Holly's World star, 35, has come out swinging on People Now.

In response to her 89-year-old ex-boyfriend Hefner, Madison said, "I'm definitely not rewriting history. Everything in the book is 100 percent true. I...

Holly Madison says she doesn't miss her onetime pal Kendra Wilkinson? The feeling's mutual, Wilkinson tells People.

The former Holly's World star came out with guns blazing about Wilkinson, her former Playboy Mansion housemate, and ex Hugh Hefner recently.

But Wilkinson tells People Now that Hefner, 89, is right to accuse Madison of rewriting history in Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny. What's more, she believes Madison has an ulterior motive for alleging tales of lies, manipulation and suicidal thoughts at the Playboy Mansion in her new memoir.

Wilkinson says that Madison, now...

Holly Madison knows what it's like being in front of the camera. Not only was she one of the stars of E!'s The Girls Next Door, but she also had her own spin-off, Holly's World. But now she needs someone to play her for the cameras. The former Playboy bunny exclusively tells me that she's in talks to turn her new tell-all memoir Down the Rabbit Hole into a TV movie. "We're looking at some options right now," Madison said me while promoting the book. "I think everybody's dream would be to do the big motion picture, but I think even a really well made TV movie would be great, too." As for her ideal casting, "I would pick somebody young because...

Between "Girls Next Door," "Holly's World" and her stage time in Vegas revue "Peepshow," former Playmate/reality star Holly Madison has grown (and remains!) extremely comfortable with living out her every waking moment in front of the camera - even the birth of her daughter.

In a clip from a special airing Sunday night on E! ("Holly Has a Baby"), the 33-year-old blonde is shown pushing during labor as she delivers her baby girl, Rainbow Aurora Rotella, born in March.

Holly Madison has hinted that she and boyfriend Pasquale Rotella might marry later this year. The former Holly's World star is currently pregnant with the couple's first child and is expected to give birth to her daughter in March. Madison recently hinted to People that she and Rotella are very much planning to tie the knot, but will likely wait until their baby is born. "One thing at a time… We totally want to [get married], probably in late summer," the reality star explained. She went on to say: "We're going to wait until the baby comes (more)...

That project is on hold, Now, it's taking the reality TV route with The Hunt, where 12 people will be left in the wilderness and try to capture each other.

Holly Madison is about to become a mom next door!

The 32-year-old former "Girls Next Door" and "Holly's World" star is expecting her first child with boyfriend Pasquale Rotella, People reported.

The reality star is reportedly due in March.

"I've wanted kids and that's something I'm definitely doing as soon as possible," she told the mag in June.

The blond bombshell, who previously dated Hugh Hefner, says her love with boyfriend Pasquale - who she has been dating for nine months - helped to kick start her maternal clock.

The Playmate soon hopes to become a Playmom! Holly Madison is trying to start a family, the former star of Holly's World and The Girls Next Door tells People exclusively. She's even decided not to renew her contract with Las Vegas's Peepshow in anticipation that she will soon be bearing child. "I'm not pregnant right now," the former Playboy model, 32, said, "but if that happened tomorrow I'd be fine with it."

Holly Madison has insured her breasts for $$1 million (£637,549). The Holly's World star said she has taken out a policy with insurance company Lloyd's of London in order to protect her "assets". Madison told People: "I've heard about people getting body parts insured and I thought, why not? Because if anything happened to my boobs, I'd be out for a few months and I'd probably be out a million dollars. I thought I'd cover my assets." The model, who is currently starring in the Las Vegas show Peepshow, also joked that she is happy her breasts are so highly valued. "I think they're (more)...

The 37-year-old blonde beauty – who has been dating director Nicholas Carpenter for nearly three years – decided to carry out the procedure a few years ago while she was living at the Playboy Mansion with ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner to give herself more time to get pregnant.

She said: “I had my eggs harvested a few years ago. I was at the Mansion, and I knew that kids were something I would like to have someday. And it didn’t look like there would be kids anytime in my near future. So I did something to ensure I have a little more time.”

Bridget – who moved out of the Los Angeles home in 2009 after splitting from Hugh – is prepared to use her frozen eggs and have In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) to give her and Nicholas "an extra chance" at having a baby if they have difficulties conceiving, but she would rather go...

First "The Playboy Club" announced the obvious promotion of planting one of the show's stars, actress Laura Benanti, on the cover Playboy's October edition. Now, in keeping with the lessons from Crossover 101, it appears a Playmate may soon appear on the NBC show.

Claire Sinclair, Playboy's 2011 Playmate of the Year, took to her Twitter page to announce she read for a role in upcoming series.

"Just auditioned for the NBC Playboy Club show," she writes. "I would love to be part of it!!"

This would be Sinclair's first venture into scripted programming, however she has made frequent appearances on the E! program "Holly's World" starring former Playmate/Hef girlfriend Holly Madison.

The 20-year old Sinclair retro style should be a good match for the period drama that takes place in 1960s Chicago. Her look has often been compared to pinup icon Bettie Page and even Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriend and former Playmate Barbi Benton.

Well, that was fast. A week after Crystal Harris became his fiancée-turned-runaway bride, Hugh Hefner seems to be wasting no time mending his broken heart. Meet Anna Sophia Berglund: the Playboy founder's latest lady. "With Crystal gone, Anna is my best girl," Hefner, 85, Tweeted. "Anna is really one in a million."

Los Angeles, CA, United States (Celebrity News Service) - Instead of marrying Hugh Hefner like she had originally planned, Crystal Harris partied it up at Vegas over the weekend. And Hef's former girlfriend Holly Madison is none to happy about it.

"Holly's World" star Madison fired off on Harris on Twitter for hitting the popular pool party Wet Republic in Vegas on what supposed to be her wedding day. Madison called the move "a new low."

"That's disgusting and whoever booked her is tacky," said Madison in a tweet.

Madison has shown support for Hefner following the news of the big wedding jilt, as have her "Girls Next Door" co-stars Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt.

 

Playboy Playmate Crystal Harris has called off her wedding to Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. Hef announced the news via his celebrity twitter page.

 

"The wedding is off. Crystal has had a change of heart," he wrote.

 

The couple got engaged on Christmas Eve last year and have been busy planning the June 18 nuptials, which were to take place at the Playboy mansion, ever since. Crystal gushed about her pretty Playboy pink dress and Hef, who proposed with a 3.5 carat ring worth $90,000, was psyched to be marrying for the third time. 

"She's wonderful and she's done a really terrific job so far with all the planning. She is the one for me!" he told Us Weekly in April.

Guess she didn't the same way because according to Hef, the halt was her idea. But all was not lost. Crystal used her minute in the spotlight to promote her new single.

Holly Madison, star of E!'s "Holly's World" and Las Vegas' "Peepshow," is trying to shed her Playboy image. Literally. She's in the process of having her Playboy logo tattoo removed.

According to Holly, she started getting laser treatments in 2009 to remove it.

"It's a walking ad for Playboy — and I joke that they've stopped paying for the ad space!" Holly joked with Life & Style.

"I still need six more treatments, but I don't know if I'll ever get around to them because it's so easily covered with makeup," she continued.

Reality star, Holly Madison poses for untouched photos for Life & Style, after being slammed both on her own show (Holly's World) and in the media about her weight.

“I’d rather be overweight and curvy than super thin with no curves,” Holly, 32, exclusively tells Life & Style at the photo shoot on Feb 21. “I’m proud of my body.”

Holly says about cellulite:

“I have cellulite — and had it even when I was at my absolute thinnest. I’m never not going to have cellulite. People need to just accept that it’s there and maybe dress accordingly or use body makeup to cope with it.”

Still, when Peepshow’s choreographer and director instructed Holly to shed weight — after she’d gained 15 pounds following her move to Sin City — she was hurt, she confesses. “Once I realized that other people were noticing that I’d packed on a few, I was embarrassed to go onstage,...

**Scroll Down For Big Unretouched Photo**

Holly Madison has allowed unretouched bikini pics of herself to be published in Life & Style, and she tells the magazine how she felt when the producers of 'Peep Show' told her to lose weight.

Holly also recently appeared in a bikini for her Svedka vodka ads.

Life & Style's press release follows; scroll down for bikini pic.

After being slammed for gaining weight, Holly's World star Holly Madison bravely shows of her curvy body - flaws and all - for an exclusive unretouched photo shoot with Life & Style.

"I'd rather be overweight and curvy than super thin with no curves," Holly, 32, exclusively tells Life & Style at the photo shoot on Feb 21. "I'm proud of my body."

For good reason: Holly has a figure most women would envy. And yet, Holly isn't afraid to admit that her small stature doesn't exempt her from what haunts millions: cellulite.

Holly Madison

Most women would kill for a body like Holly Madison's, but Jayde Nicole, a co-star on Holly's World, isn't so envious.

"She needs to lose 10 pounds of fat," Jayde tells Life & Style. "If she lost 10 pounds and toned up a little bit, she'd be back in the shape she used to be."

Holly, a former Playboy Playmate, recently put on some weight, prompting the producers of her Las Vegas burlesque show, Peepshow, to demand that she shed the added pounds. Rather than coming to Holly's defense, Jayde tells Life & Style she agrees with the honchos.

"To star in a show like Peepshow, you want to be in the best shape you could possibly be. And Holly would never get picked for Playboy now," adds Jayde. "If you're a model, you're expected to be in good shape. That's your job."...

Holly Madison's boyfriend loves her for who she is. The 31-year-old model, who has previously dated Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner, insists she has never been happier in a relationship than she is with All Time Low guitarist Jack Barakat.

"He's a really down to earth guy. I feel like he's really real and he knows me for who I am," she told People Magazine. "I can say whatever in front of him and he's cool with it."

The couple began dating last year after meeting on micro-blogging site Twitter and the "Holly's World" star loves that Jack lets her be herself no matter what. She explained, "I love that Jack has a sense of humor and I can just be myself around him. I don't need to be like Miss Priss or Betty Crocker. I feel like every guy that I dated before him expected that."

Holly Madison's boyfriend's band is called All Time Low, but the reality star is on an all-time high, thanks to her man. "He's a really down to earth guy," the Holly's World star told People in Las Vegas at the opening of Recycled Percussion, fresh off a trip to Mexico with Jack Barakat, her boyfriend of nine months, who is the guitarist for the Baltimore-based band. The duo plan on celebrating Valentine's weekend together at Tryst nightclub in Sin City. The low-key couple has come a long way since first meeting on Twitter and publicly debuting their romance at her 31st birthday in December.

When we all got the surprising information that Hugh Hefner was tying the knot to 24-year-old girlfriend, Crystal Harris, our first reaction was whaaa?! And well, we weren't alone. Hefner's ex, Holly Madison, was just as shocked at the news. "I have a lot of different feelings on it. I don't just feel one way," she told E! back when the news broke. Although the starlet has offered her kind words to the couple, she decided it's best for her to stay away from the ceremony. Not that the Peep Show star has received her invitation just yet. However, judging from Sunday's episode of Holly's World, her visit to the mansion to congratulate the newly-engaged couple seemed friendly...

Holly Madison insists she is not jealous of Hugh Hefner's engagement. The 31-year-old model has been critical of her former boyfriend's plans to marry Playmate Crystal Harris but insists she is just being "protective" of the 84-year-old media mogul, who she dated for seven years until 2008.

"I think everyone expected me to feel one way, they expected me to be really jealous. But it's not how I feel. We've been apart for two years. I just want him to be happy," she said. "I'm more protective than anything else. I just wanted to make sure he's making the right choice."

The "Holly's World" star has been dating All Time Low guitarist Jack Barakat for five months and though their busy schedules mean it can be difficult for them to spend much time together, she insists she prefers it that way.

She added to Us Magazine, "He's totally cool - really down-to-earth.

Whether to offer selfless well-wishes or engage in self torture, Holly Madison decides to head to the Playboy mansion and scope out ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner and his 24-year-old fiancée Crystal Harris.

"I don't want it to be awkward," Hefner tells her on 'Holly's World' (Sunday, 10:30Pm Et, on E!). Oh, but it is. Holly admits, "It's definitely difficult to talk about being engaged with Hef, because he knows how much I wanted to get married and have kids when we were together."

She tells him, "I always feel very protective of you ... If [Crystal] ever messes up, I'll kick her ass." Things get even more uncomfortable when Crystal joins them.

Everyone has an opinion on Hugh Hefner's engagement to 24-year-old Crystal Harris. But what does Holly Madison think? She was Hef's girlfriend (well, one of them) for seven years.

In the season-two premiere of 'Holly's World' (Sun., 10:30Pm Et on E!), a friend breaks the news (that she received over Twitter). "I feel like they just started dating," says her gal pal.

Holly used to think she'd get engaged to the Playboy founder. "I thought we were headed towards being exclusive -- marriage and family," Holly explains in voiceover during a photo montage of her with Hef. She ended the relationship when it was clear the 84-year-old wouldn't settle down with her. "I had a lot of different emotions and thoughts on [the news]. This was kind of a shock."

Holly Madison has said that she is happy with her appearance despite being asked to lose weight for Peepshow. The second season of her E! show Holly's World will see producers of the Las Vegas burlesque production requesting that Madison shed a few pounds. "My manager told me when I got back from vacation. I'd been at Disney World for a week pigging out, of course," she explained to Kathie Lee & Hoda on NBC's Today Show. "He said, 'They say you need to lose weight.' I said, 'I'll get healthy but I like the way I look - I'm fine with it.' Other women in the show are very thin or muscular-fit, but that's never been me." As for whether the request had hurt her feelings, she said: "I felt disgusting having to go on stage right after that. I was like, 'Everybody (more)...

Former Playboy bunny Holly Madison is hopping mad over her ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner's current choice of future wife. One-time Girls Next Door girl Madison has lashed out to People magazine about Hef's new fiancée, Crystal Harris, claiming that the 24-year-old Playboy Playmate is more catty than bunny. According to Madison, Hefner's bride-to-be showed her true colors during an unaired scene from Girls Next Door, during which Harris allegedly trash-talked Madison and her pal and Holly's World co-star, singer Josh Strickland. Madison huffs, "They really need to show that birthday footage." Strickland adds, "Crystal called us clowns in the circus. It's just kind of like, 'Who...

Madison, 31, has been reluctant to speak about Harris, but when pressed by People, her on-camera sidekick Josh Strickland said, "We don't really know her that well, but the few times we've seen her, it's been a cold shoulder. We really haven't done anything to her." Madison then jumped in, saying Harris's true colors can be seen in an un-aired scene. "They...

Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriend Holly Madison has broken her silence about the Playboy boss' Christmas engagement, insisting her former lover could have done better.

Hefner, 84, proposed to 24 year old Crystal Harris on Christmas Day, prompting an upset Madison to demand a face-to-face meeting with her ex, which she plans to air on her reality TV show Holly's World at the end of January.

She initially insisted on keeping her comments about the shock engagement to herself until the TV show aired, but now she's talking to U.S. publication Life & Style.

Madison says, "I’d like to see Hef settle down. I just want it to be with the right person, and I feel like he’s making a hasty decision. I’m not sure Crystal is the best thing for him.

"I’m not jealous that he’d marry someone else. I just don’t want it to be a girl who’s using him to start her career. Basically, I think he could do better than Crystal."

Harris moved into the Playboy Mansion in January 2009 shorty after Hefner and Madison broke up, and the former Playboy Playmate moved out to begin a new life in Las Vegas.

Madison adds, "Crystal hasn’t been around very long. She’s a mysterious character. No one knows much about her. Plus, she’s very young, probably too young to settle down. I’ve seen a lot of girls try to date Hef, and some have ulterior motives. I don’t think it would be a bad idea for him to get to know her a little better.

"I think it’s possible Crystal could break Hef’s heart. They could end up divorcing, and she could take half his money.

"I wish them the best and that Crystal had better not do him wrong or else I’ll kick her butt."...

Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriend had an "awkward, but good" meeting with him about his engagement. Glamor model and reality TV star Holly Madison was shocked to find out Playboy founder Hugh is to marry Playmate Crystal Harris, because his intention not to marry caused their breakup in 2008.

The former Playboy Playmate was heartbroken when Hef tweeted the happy news after 24-year-old model Crystal Harris agreed to be his wife - because she split from the 84 year old in 2008 when he refused to wed her.

But Madison, who was once rumored to be pregnant with Hefner's baby, has refused to let her emotions get the better of her in a premature statement, insisting on a televised sit-down with her ex instead. The publisher agreed, and the two former lovers' summit at the Playboy Mansion has now been filmed for Madison's TV show "Holly's World".

She tells People.com, "After I heard about it, I wanted to save my feelings for the show. I wanted to confront Hef and just get all my feelings out there rather than make a statement.
