Viewers will get a look at what really goes on inside Hugh Hefner's fabled residence when E! debuts "The Girls Next Door," Aug. 2 at 10 p.m.
"What really sets us apart from other reality shows," Hefner told members of the Television Critics Association, "is that this is reality. This show is not fake."

"The Girls Next Door" will focus primarily on the relationship between Hefner, 80, and his three girlfriends, Holly Madison, 25, Bridget Marquardt, 31, and Kendra Wilkinson, 20


Hugh and Holly


Hugh & girlfriends

The youngest and newest girlfriend is 20...a SIXTY year age difference! Damn!

So who's gonna be checking this show out?

Hef must be slowing down in his twilight years...I seem to remember he had five or six girlfriends not too long ago.

I was thinking the same thing, so I checked it out.
It was 7 - including a set of twins.

Do you realize that if you add up the ages of the three 'girlfriends,' the number is still lower than Hef's age? Tell me, is what I'm feeling 'ewww' or 'attaboy?'

Three braindead nubile pieces of ass hook up with someone who, from the looks of it should be mummified in some tomb, and he's saying that this "isn't fake." Puh-LEAZE, Hef.

I'd be so afraid to have sex with Hef because I wouldn't want to be the one he dies on top of -- it must be like Musical Chair Corpse Sex at that house!

It's ewww. I am a single, heterosexual guy who is part of Hughs presumed demographic, and frankly he disgusts me. He has since he was 57 and took up with Carrie Leigh, a 19 year old from Toronto. I remember thinking at the time he was a dirty old man. 21 years later, it's infinitely more disgusting.

And the women? They are prostitutes by any other name.

The whole thing is just gross.

basically...but you know the word "girlfriend" isn't something you have to work to wash off!


*DEAD* at him snarking on other reality shows not being complete reality, but after all these years he wants us to believe he is REALLY having sex with all these young tenderonies


Its all him being a mascott for what he wants his mag to stand for, why else would all of his girlfriends fit a cookie cutter look....not one brunette ever got ahold of that diaper wearing geriatric since the 60s

Kendra is one hard lookin' 20yr old.

I hope these girls are socking away every penny he gives them and that they make from their various layouts because the future for these silicone pumped up, bleached blondes after Hugh moves on to the next set of "friends" or finally dies on top of one of them seems pretty bleak. Courtesan is about as short lived a career goal as NFL player.

I hate the freaking banner add...it keeps interfering with the heavy handed use of the trackball on my mouse.

The reality show that I'd really like to see would be a "Where Are They Now" on some of the women from the 1970s, 80s, and 90s who passed through the halls of the Playboy mansion, who kept Hef company en masse, and who then got chewed up and spat out once they lost that airbrused-sheen and started to look older than 20.

I have no doubt that it would be a truly sad spectacle. Other than the women who lucked into finding a husband who could support them, or the few who were intelligent enough to become professionals in some sort of field, I suspect that it would be a long litany of heartbreaking stories of disillusionment and lost dreams.

The show is kinda weird and I don't know what they do all day. The editors have their jobs cut off for them.

Since Hugh discovered Viagra, he divorced his wife but they live next door to the mansion.

They have a sex schedule and make a pretty good salary. The whole set up is creepy.

Did you see Sam Rubin interviewing these girls on Channel 5 (KTLA in Los Angeles)?
These have to be the dumbest women in America. If this is supposed to promote a postive image for Playboy, it's not going to work. They didn't know who Dr. Phil was (I don't watch his show, but I know who he is, for goodness sakes), or current music, or what "square" meant. It made me cringe to think that the image they project is supposedly the ideal woman, according to Playboy.

I saw parts of the Sam Rubin interview. I think they were on the tennis court and there's not going to be a Playboy Jeopardy. I'd like to see how their parents react to their living conditions.

Actually, that is a fairly consistent trait amongst Playmates. Over the years, I've heard quite a few on a variety of radio and tv shows and almost invariably they sound not just uninformed, but stupid.

The only brightish light is Kelly Monaco, who comes across as being decent enough and still looks terrific. And she used Playboy as a springboard to get into acting in daytime soaps (not bikini clad cameos in C movies).

If they weren't 'girlfriends' and on this show, I am sure these women would be stripping, doing porn, or working as cocktail waitresses while waiting for someone rich to marry them for their looks.

Brande Roderick was one of his girlfriends awhile ago right? I seem to remember her being on Howard Stern and admitting that she never had sex with Hef. She seemed really hesitant to do so, and maybe even a little embarrassed, so I assumed that it was definitely part of the deal for the girls to act like they have sex with him.

As someone involved in adult entertainment, I'm going to watch this show both with horror and curiosity.

These women are all carbon copies of one another. Every woman who has ever been in Playboy looks exactly like the next, to me.

Yes, she was. Before she either a) recovered her dignity or b) her 'girlfriend' contract was up.

If my I ever saw my dad (whose the same age as Hefner (I refuse to call him 'Hef')) in a club dancing with a 20 year old super bimbo, I'd send him off to a home.

Is it just me or do these girls look ROUGH? Tiffany Fallon the Playmate of the year was very cute, but Hef's girlfriends practically bark. Also - the "mansion" looks fairly run down to me. That carpet when Kendra was getting dressed looked gnarly. You would think that investing in thousands of dollars in silicon would earn you better digs.

Call me crazy, but I don't blame these gals for enjoying such a lifestyle one bit.
Why not? More power to them!

They're enjoying a fun, free, and lavish lifestyle most of us could only dream of while making memories that'll last a lifetime. So they're coasting by on their looks while they can...living in a gorgeous LA mansion, meeting famous folks, partying daily, getting paid ridiculously, it seems like a nice trade out just to give old Heff a good and quick pounding now and then.
I even give the main three gals kudos for at least preparing for other career options when their stints will be up. Well, save for that one delusional gal who considers herself Heff's "number 1 girl" who is ready to settle down with him.
Yeah right. She just sees dollar signs and a nice divorce settlement---provided he doesn't keel over on her in bed one night.

Anyways, I can't judge them because I'm too envious of them. Yes, I'm shameless...I'm already hooked on the show for its ridiculous partygirl aspect.
Also? Is it a requirement for these girls to all have frilly pink bedrooms and yippy lap dogs?? Yikes...

I had no idea that his GF's weren't former Playmates. Three seems like too few GFs, bring back the girl with the monkey. Maybe Hef is getting sick of blondes and preparing to move into brunettes.

I recognize Holly because I saw her on Cribs and her eyes remind me of a Chihuahua with hyper-thyroidism. She's only 25? It seems her dreams of a life with Hef are delusional. Hasn't he said that he's given up on monogamy?

I can tell which one is Kendra because her dye job looks like refried ass spit roasted over a pit of raw sewage. Massage Therapists should not be annoying and self involved while working. They should be soothing and ask you about your day, I guess she hasn't had that class yet.

Bridget seems to be the most vacant bobblehead of the three and she's the oldest, I am shocked. It's time she got over her dream of being a playmate, it ain't gonna happen. She should take her Masters and her connections and start a business. I like her cat though, it's cute and I'm not a dog person.

Who didn't know that his GFs were gonna get to do a shoot for the mag after all their whining and bitching? Cross promotion perhaps?

ha! so I wasn't watching the show with a smirk on my face....Bridgett made it worth watching...old hating-assed heffa!!!!!

I saw some of it, Sam Rubin talks to the WGN Channel 9 morning crew in Chicago and he showed some of that interview. The part they showed was in the tennis court when one of the girls started dancing and Sam goes...

Sam: "what happened to the money?"
Playmate: "what money?"
Sam: "the money to buy you dance lessons"
Playmate: "uhhh"

And everyone was just laughing at her, she didn't even realize that it was a joke on her expense.

Why did I watch this? Oh yeah, I hate myself.
Anyway, I think they are all very hard looking for their age! Im shocked that Holly is only 25. That being said I do believe she is by far the best looking of the bunch.
Bridget I dont even consider pretty, and Kendra just looks trashy (actually now that I think of it she reminds me of a trailer trash version of Jenna Jameson).
I also cannot believe they arent playmates! What?! They represent Playboy the most as they play host to the new girls and follow Hef around everywhere. It just seems odd to me that they wouldnt be "allowed" in the magazine up until now (3 yrs later!).

What happened to the other girls btw? Are some still around or is Hef down to just 3 girlfriends now? I remember watching Cribs or something a couple yrs back and Holly was already considered girlfriend #1. So if indeed the girlfriend list is continually dwindling down in numbers, I could see how she is being guided to think that eventually she will be the "one and only."

Oh and that new playmate- the one that is "half Filipino, half Italian" is one of the prettiest girls I have ever seen on television. My God she was gorgeous! I have to hate her, sorry!

Hee. I think a little background info would answer not only that comment, but why they are doing this show in the first place. You see, I read an article a couple of years ago that statted that the Playboy empire wasn't doing so hot. Readership and subscriptions were going down faster then the playmates themselves. In addition, in a world of Maxim's and cyberporn, Playboy is losing it's cultural relevance. So how does a hack-job skin rag and it bevy of airbrushed sluts drum up interest? By half-assed cross-media blitz of shitty (but synergetic) projects like this and video game (yes, I know!) Playboy the Mansion (quick review:Add silicone to a 3rd-rate Sims clone). In other words, Hef isn't making as much money as he likes to show, so he needs to "sell" the Playboy brand name back to the mainstream as something "sexy" and "glamourous." The problem is that it's coming across as more "creepy" and "desperate." I mean, to echo what others here have said, the women come across as some XXX version of Children of the Corn. Not to mention that any women who still thinks that hooking up with fossilized pervert Hef can "help her career" is dumb, dumb dumb.

Didn't anyone tell Hef and his girls that the Pam Anderson look is over? That overly bleached blonde hair is practically blinding. Kendra's hair is the worst looking though - I am by no means a hair professional but I want to force a deep conditioning treatment on her. Then again, she is totally annoying so maybe I will reserve my conditioner for someone else!

I thought it was funny that she got so emotional when he told the three of them that they are going to be on the cover of the magazine, especially after Bridget's sobfest about how he told her she didn't cut it. They shouldn't hold their breath - just because they're on the cover to promote the show (because let's be honest - he wouldn't have put them on the cover otherwise) doesn't mean he's going to make any of them the centerfolds.

She was beautiful! It's too bad that Playboy will airbrush the life out of her if she makes it into the magazine. The pictures they print now do not even look like real women. I'm amazed at how unsexy and sterile the layouts are.

Kendra is fugly and annoying, but she seems to have the best attitude of the three gf's. She's young and wants to party. I feel bad for Bridget and Holly. At least Bridget will get her dream of being in the magazine. Holly is delusional. Hefner is not going to marry her or give her babies.

I think maybe Hef is scared to rennovate his house because maybe he thinks someone will try to install a bug or hidden camera and catch all the dirrty dealings in the Playboy mansion. I think that's how Fred Durst's sex tape got out. Someone was fixing his computer, and they stole the sex video off it.

The house is ugly inside to me. I would not want to live there.

I would be completely embarrassed to arrive at a Hollywood party in that fugly Playboy limousine, on the arm of a crotchety 79 year old man, surrounded by other versions of myself.

And is living in the town of Lodi any worse than whoring yourself on national television and loathing in constant self-pity because your bf considers you not pretty enough to be a centerfold? If she's only getting a cover now, her lifelong dream will still be unrealized, but somehow I cannot feel her pain.

Loved the exasperated look on the face of the guy in the mansion when Kendra was phoning in her food order. Priceless!

Me either! I know they showed how Hef met Kendra but do we know the stories of the other two?



It totally does. And it's very messy and my gosh are those dogs annoying or what??? (This coming from a dog person.) I was also surprised that the two girls visiting the mansion for their test shots had to share a room. What?

Holly is just reveling in her self declared "house Mom" status. The only thing I will say in her favor is that I liked that she went ahead and wore her Princess Leah hairdo even though Hef didn't want her to. I thought that showed that she wasn't totally spineless.

Hmmmm....I'm just kind of perplexed over this whole thing, like I'm not sure what to think or what points I want to make about it. I think I'll watch again just to see how I feel about it next time.

...well I am going to get it overwith and say it....


I kinda like the show...


Kendra is my fave

and Bridget is teh one that lets me bring on the snark!!!

Interesting show. I liked that Holly acknowledged that she has a big nose. I was shocked as all get out that Hef likes his girls firends to NOT be Playmates. I wonder why?????

Kendra is so uncredibly fugly. She looks like a Hooters waitress from a bad part of town who lives in a trailer and thinks she might get her GED someday. Before she smiled for the first time I had expected her to be missing a few teeth. I thought for sure that she was going to forget to take that TJ Maxx price tag off of the dress before she went downstairs to join everyone.

I think Hef might have some problems with "hoarding" -- I thought this after seeing the Cribs episode, too. He seems to have stacks and stacks of crap -- magazines, movies, books -- all over his house. He is really messy. This would also explain the need to have so many girlfriends.

What do you want to bet Holly is planning an accidental pregnancy???

Word. She looks so plasticy fake and her dye job is terrible. I missed the beginning of the episode. What did she mean when she said Hef "saved my life"? Was she on a road to drugs and prostitution before she met Hef? Because then how have things changed?

Did she take the price tag off? I must have missed that part. It looked like she kept it on so she could return it to the store later. Would have thought Hef would pay for things such as this. I did see where she was cutting off those little straps. Aren't you supposed to use those to hang the dress back up on a hanger?

Kendra said it herself..."Everybody thinks that we're all skanks." Uh, would have to agree with you there, Miss Mensa.

I got the impression that GFs #2 & 3 realize that they're not going to be there forever, which is why they're doing their own interests. My assumption is that they're getting money from Hef to do so. Smart on their part if they're doing this. But GF #1 is definitely delusional. Like Hef's gonna marry her.

What is the name of the new playmate that y'all are talking about? The half italian, half filipino one? I hate that I'm curious, but I forgot to watch the show.

I have to say I like Kendra the best as well. Bridgette would be my 2nd choice simply for her vindictive nature.

They have the stories on the website.

I am very curious, CrazyMacy & Meedis: -- what do you find likeable about Kendra??

What do they do during the day? Bridgette studies...for her ph.D.? Because I thought I heard that she already finished her Masters, right? Kendra is an exercise addict. What does Holly do besides give tours? Wait I know -- SLEEP. Because that's what I'd have to do during the day if some crusty old man was dragging me out to clubs every night of the week.

I assume that Hef has an account at the salon so the girls can have all the updos, manis/pedis, make-ups, waxes, etc. they need. That's why he's going broke.

Holly shares his bed? Yea, right. Until midnight. Then I'll bet he kicks her out. That footage showed Hef getting breakfast in bed alone.

Why in the world would a girlfriend have to ask permission from her boyfriend to watch a movie on the bigscreen TV? Do these women think for a minute they are fooling anyone?

I have a question. I don't know anything about Playboy magazine. Does the magazine every have pictures of black women? Have there been any or many black Centerfolds?

Racquel? maybe. She was trying out to be a Playmate with Sara, I don't remember finding out if they made it into the magazine.


She's getting another Masters, her frst was in PR, her new one is gonna be in Broadcast Journalism. Kendra goes to massage therapy school and Holly is taking correspondence courses to get a real estate license and some type of Bachelors.

They only go out once a week, on Thursdays. Hef is old and likes to toddle around amongst his crap piles so there's a schedule now. Pool parties are on Sundays because the rest of the week they're too busy to lay out in the sun and laze around.

I'm thinking Hef brought in extra GFs and extra staff for that episode of Cribs. I remember that they only showed the rooms of a few girls, monkey girl is still my fave, but then showed 50-11 girls on Hef's bed. Besides those 2 dudes who put dog food on plates and his personal secretary there was little to no staff or activity there. The guest bedroom for Playmate auditionees was ugly and small to boot. I wouldn't be surprised if within 10 years of Hef's death someone bought the place and turned it into a themed bed and breakfast

ETA:

There are Playboy Bunnies who appear in the magazine and there are Playboy Playmates who get to have the center layout and cover, etc. I imagine there are plenty of Black bunnies, not so many Black playmates. There is the one who is currently in a lawsuit with Colin Farrell over a sex tape, Nicole Narain. I think the current Playmate is also Black. I don't read Playboy, I just like to research things and keep them in little pits of my brain for later.

It's certainly not her bad dye job...*LOL*. She really does need to do something better with her hair.

But from the clips shown, she seems the most geniune of the three. Granted she was lying to that new girl's face when she kept praising her baseball skills. But I get the impression that she's nice in general and not putting on an act like the other two.

July's issue had a black centerfold. There are usually one or two each year. I am not a lesbian, but I occasionally buy the magazine out of curiosity. To see what men see, see the lingerie, keep up with pubic hair styles, remind myself to put some makeup on, etc.

I thought that she was just trying to be nice/supportive/encouraging when she was praising the other girl (who really was awful at swinging and didn't take direction well at all). I thought that was a nice moment - as opposed to when they were in the car and Kendra was talking about being homies. Lord.

I don't know if Kendra more genuine than the other girls. She does seem less able to control her emotions and her mouth, but I don't know if I interpret that as being genuine. I see it more as a sign of how young she is. In that sense she reminds me of a clumsy puppy - eager, excitable, wanting/giving lots of affection, but still peeing all over the rug. Holly definitely has her emotions under control (although I did see her annoyance when Kendra was late) but she still seems pretty honest, if delusional, about wanting Hef to get rid of the other girlfriends, wanting to marry him, etc.

Of the three, Kendra's hair is definitely the rattiest. It looks like what happens to a Barbie doll when you try to wash her hair and it turns all nasty.

I watched 15 minutes of this show. It can go away.

I found that blurb while taking a crappy virtual tour of the mansion. It doesn't sound fun to be one of Hef's personal barbies. You spend the days constantly comparing yourself to other barbies and hanging out with an 80 year old man who seems to have a few OCD related issues. He's a collector and he's anal-retentive in regards to organization at the same time.
In 2003 he had 6 GFs, 3 is significantly less interesting to watch than 6.

Yikes, that reminds me of some stuff Carmen Electra said when she was with Prince. He wanted her in the house at all times, and she slept with her face fully made up (at his request). She said he treated her like a doll.

Then again, no one is forcing them to do this - they choose to be there in exchange for living at a mansion rent free, phoning in their meal orders, and having someone pay for their expenses. If that means being back at the house by sundown, that's a sacrifice they are choosing to make.

For some reason, Kendra's lunch order cracked me up - chinese chicken salad with skinny french fries! And that other girl caught on right away - peanut butter and jelly, but creamy peanut butter and grape jelly.

I think eating lunch was about the only thing that other girl wanted to do. She was totally bored to death doing all the sports stuff with Kendra. Of course, not every girl is into athletics like they've protrayed Kendra to be.

Hef likes fake blondes. Occasionally he puts a black girl in, but I really think that anything but a platinum blonde and he has no interest. You can count the number of brunettes, red heads and black girls per year on one hand.

I am completely convinced he does not have sex with those girls. Maybe the main one - the delusional one. I noticed that she - Holly I think - always gets to sit next to him. She also seems to be very jealous. Notice her when he pays attention to the other girls. She clearly doesnt like it. She is wasting her youth waiting on him.

If I were in my early twenties I would pretend to be Hef's girlfriend for a year or two. Like I said, I seriously doubt Kendra and Bridget ever have sex with him. I bet he tells them he likes to watch them please each other so that he doesnt have to do anything. Its all for show.

Jill Ann Spaudling worte a book about being a Hef Honey. Here's an interview http://citypages.com/databank/26/1271/article13189.asp. Hef like gay, male interracial porn. Interesting.
