Hugh Hefner's favorite Playboy bunnies take over Vail slopes

Hugh Hefner allowed his three favorite girlfriends time away from the hutch, aka the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles, to hit the slopes of Vail for snowboarding lessons.

Of course, 80-year-old Hefner's permission was also part of a plan that included a trademark promotion for his Playboy Enterprises.

Holly Madison, 27, Bridget Marquardt, 33, and Kendra Wilkinson, 21, were in Vail to tape an episode of the E! network's "The Girls Next Door," which premiered the first episode of its third season Sunday.

The three blonde former Playboy Playmates were paired with Olympic gold medalist Shaun White during the lessons. The episode will air next month on E!, which boasts "The Girls Next Door" remains the network's highest-rated series.

During their time here for the show's taping, Madison, described as the Playboy founder's "No. 1 girlfriend," was mum about last month's media buzz that had sources saying Hef had asked her to become his wife and the third Mrs. Hefner to date.

Although at one time Hefner had one of his famed Playboy Clubs in Denver, he never realized his dream of opening properties in celeb-heavy Vail and Aspen to serve his "keyholding members."

Playboy to scout LSU for 'Girls of the SEC'

Playboy magazine is reportedly coming to Baton Rouge next week in search of LSU women.

The magazine will be in town Monday and March 13 in Baton Rouge scouting students for its “Girls of the SEC” issue this fall, according to news reports.

In the past, the presence of LSU students in Playboy has brought protests from the American Family Association and others.

Playboy has published pictorials of college women for 31 years. The October edition will be the first Southeastern Conference issue since 2001.

Playmate Anna Nicole Smith

Philosophy professors ask, “Do we exist?” Cosmeticians ask, “What color nails would you like?” John F. Kennedy said “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Anna Nicole Smith’s cosmetic surgeon asked the 36A beauty “What sized breasts would you like?” She actually looked better at 36A than at 42DD but very few women are winning the Playboy Playmate of the Year Title at 36A.

The 21 year old Anna Nicole Smith was 5’8” tall with beautiful blonde hair and a body to die for, with perfect nice sized perky 36A breasts. She was perhaps the greatest beauty ever to grace the earth. She was working as a stripper in a Houston bar when this 89 year old pedophile oil tycoon wandered in and fell madly in love with her. He showered her with money, gifts, flowers and new breasts. Had Anna never met him she would not have had the money to buy new breasts, never become Playboy Playmate of the Year and the Guess Jeans Model and she would be alive today, a happy housewife with a white picket fence living in Houston Texas.

Antonella Barba: American Idol Topless Babe Shouldn't Shun Playboy

Antonella Barba topless and nude? Antonella Barba, the American Idol contestant, shouldn't turn down an offer to be a Playboy Magazine model when she's booted off the hit TV talent show this week.

Clearly it's a better fit than Antonella Barba the American Idol, don't you think?

As the Post Chronicle reported last week, Laura Saltman of Access Hollywood was at the Playboy Mansion for the party celebrating the season three premiere of the E! channel's 'The Girls Next Door', and asked for the Playboy boss's take on the Antonella Barba racy photographs online controversy.

After showing Hugh Hefner the photos, he remarked, "She really looks sexy here." Asked if he would consider making Antonella an offer to pose for Playboy should she be voted off 'Idol' early, Hef answered, "Very real possibility. Yes, absolutely."

American Idol: Porn Idolgate - Antonella To Pose For Playboy

Antonella Barba nude in Playboy magazine? Could be. Laura Saltman of Access Hollywood was at the Playboy Mansion for the party celebrating the season three premiere of the E! channel's 'The Girls Next Door', and asked for the Playboy boss's take on the Antonella Barba racy photographs online controversy.

After showing Hugh Hefner the photos, he remarked, "She really looks sexy here." Asked if he would consider making Antonella an offer to pose for Playboy should she be voted off 'Idol' early, Hef answered, "Very real possibility. Yes, absolutely."
But all of that is going to have to wait at least another week as Antonella was not voted off of American idol despite predictions of her demise. The New Jersey babe is safe and survived the week two cuts.

"In high school Antonella was one of the nicest girls I knew. She never had bad things to say about anybody and she was always there for her friends," says a classmate. "She was a sweet genuine Jersey girl who knows exactly what she needs out of life, and that is to become the next American Idol, not to be the next Playmate of the Year."

That said, she is the least talented singer left on the female side. We'll see what happens once she gets cut.

Scientology Would Have Saved Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith

Anna Nicole Smith (former Playboy bunny and hot playmate) would have lived if she had converted to Scientology, John Travolta, one of the religion's chief promoters, has claimed.

Speaking the day before the tragic Playboy Playmate is due to be buried in the Bahamas, Travolta regrets not trying to help the model.

"It's so sad. We could have helped her with Narconon but didn't get a chance" the actor told MSNBC.

Narconon is a drug detox program "inspired" by the writings of Playboy L. Ron Hubbard and associated with the Church of Scientology.

Travolta had worked with Playmate Anna Nicole Smith previously, on the Playboy Elmore Leonard adaptation Be Cool.

What Playboy stands for

Yes, Playboy uses the nude female body as a means to attract readers. No, that doesn't mean Hugh Hefner and company exploit women.

The magazine features women, providing adult entertainment with an erotic appeal, and in doing so, tastefully reveals the entirety of women (and sometimes men) in their natural state.

Playboy photographers and editors carefully choose attractive photo locations and shoots, consistently casting beautiful light on the female form in new and exciting ways.

And have you ever looked past the cover and the photos of the magazine? Or did you fail to give the magazine a chance because it showcases the nude female body?

Sadly, many people are too shallow and sexually repressed to explore nudity and sexuality in an open, free exchange of ideas.

They miss the point of Playboy: to heighten intellectual stimulation by accentuating it with visual inspirations.

Furthermore, few people recognize Playboy for its full literary value. They fail to see past the beauty on the front-cover picture, so they either skim through the pages by eyeing only the photo spreads or refuse to open the magazine at all, missing the best part - the writing.

From candid artist and celebrity interviews, to witty and socially pressing columns and forums, the magazine provides readers with a diverse selection of arts and entertainment news, as well as providing investigative journalism at its best.

Hip and edgy fiction excerpts from our nation's greatest literary talents, hard-hitting investigative reports rarely explored by other media outlets and a truthful, conversational style make reading Playboy both worthwhile and comfortable for most readers.

Playboy tackles issues other magazines are too afraid to come near. It deals with violence and sexuality, as well as gender roles, in a free and open manner.

Rather than succumbing to censorship and societal pressure from conservative voices, Playboy continues to lead the way in open sexual education, providing sexual advice ranging from how to best deal with sexually transmitted diseases, to simple but straight suggestions on how to improve your intimate relations with your significant other.

Playboy hides nothing. Instead, the magazine puts everything out on the table for its readers.

That's why I proudly display the new issue of the magazine every month on my coffee table at home.

Playboy isn't for everyone. Minors should be kept from the magazine until maturing into adults, and the contents certainly cater more toward a male readership.

No doubt, the nude photos erotically heighten the layout of every Playboy, making it the most visually appealing periodical on the market. But the magazine's wit and style account for as much of its popularity.

So next time you see a Playboy, don't judge the book by its cover, or in this case, a magazine. Remember, it's what's on the inside that counts.
