Hef Set To Marry

The buzz during one of the Oscar parties was that Hugh Hefner is getting married before the end of the year to Holly Madison, one of his three girlfriends.

"This is very secret, but the word is 'yes,'" one insider told Page Six, "Hef has decided he will marry Holly, and he wants it for his show, 'The Girls Next Door.'

Hef thinks business all the time, and looks for a new hook, although he also does really love Holly... Hef sees that she is the most dedicated. Kendra is never there, and they both hate each other, and Bridget is hanging on by being very friendly to Holly."

Hahaha, and if anyone ever needed an example of what money can buy - I mean Hugh is now what, 120-years-old (in actual fact he's 81) and she's 28! What possible reason could ANYONE want to MARRY someone like him (apart from the obvious)?!? Jesus the things women will [do] for fame and money!!!

Scarlett Johansson Tops Playboy's List

Playboy magazine sure is taking some big risks these days.

Last year, Jessica Alba was Playboy's #1, and this year Playboy chose Scarlett Johansson as their sexiest celebrity of the year. Yeah, not ground-breaking choices, but it's better than Sports Illustrated putting Beyonce on the cover of the Swimsuit Issue.

The Sun has Playboy's statement on why Scarlett Johansson was chosen this year:

Scarlett Johansson is the apex of beauty and sensuality - from her porcelain skin to her fully feminine figure to her mysterious charisma, which is at once palpable and indefinable.

Other notable women on the list were:

Angelina Jolie, Beyoncé Knowles, Carmen Electra, Charisma Carpenter, Christina Aguilera, Cindy Margolis, Denise Richards, Diora Baird, Jaime Pressly, Jenna Jameson, Jennifer Lopez, Jenny McCarthy, Jessica Alba, Joanna Krupa, Kara Monaco, Kelly Monaco, Lindsay Lohan, Mansion Playmates Holly, Bridget and Kendra, Mercedes McNab, Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton, Pussycat Dolls, Vida Guerra, Willa Ford

Las Vegas: Playground To The Stars

HEADLINE stars Kevin Spacey and Kate Bosworth, who are about to start an eight-week shoot of their new '21' movie all around Vegas, did "research" at the Playboy Club at the Palms.

Kevin took a quick walk through, but Kate stayed most of the night playing blackjack and enjoying Dom Perignon champagne and Grey Goose vodka at a reserved booth in the middle of the gaming lounge.

'21' is the true story of the Boston college students who created an infallible mathematical solution to beat Vegas casinos. Ironically, the Vegas gambling haunts that booted the real troublemakers from town are now hosting the movie maker stars! The cast is shooting at the Aladdin, Hard Rock and Red Rock using some of our city's real-life dealers.

Meanwhile across town...

Happy Birthday congratulations to Lisa-Marie Presley, who celebrated her 39th birthday bash over the weekend with mom Priscilla in tow and Roseanne Barr in the party group.

They dined at TAO and then hit the upstairs TAO nightclub watching all the dancing revelers from an upper-deck VIP skybox rather than in the VIP dance floor section. Next night, Priscilla and Lisa-Marie sat up until 2:30AM, sipping cocktails at Caramel ultra lounge in the Bellagio.

Elsewhere, to celebrate four sold out shows at the Luxor this weekend, comedian Artie Lange partied at the Hard Rock's Body English nightclub with co-producer Jeff Beacher and a flock of audience members they'd invited over from his last late show.

Partying with them was Wesley Snipes, Jamie Lynn Sigler, Laura Prepon, Tito Ortiz and Jenna Jameson to name just a few.

Mariah Carey Does Playboy

Mariah Carey looks so steamy in the upcoming issue of Playboy, she might even be hotter than Eminem's head. "Something is clearly askew with him," Mimi tells the gentlemen's mag, "and I'm not quite sure what it is."

In the March issue of Playboy magazine, the curvy songstress finally discusses her long-standing feud with Eminem, her near career-ending nervous breakdown and offers her two cents on the latest celebrity phenomenon: wardrobe malfunctions.


Mariah on her breakdown in '01: "What happened was that people made a big deal of when my old publicist pulled the microphone out of my hand because I was venting about Howard Stern. Howard Stern had said a lot of mean stuff about me that morning, as he does about everybody every morning, and I think it really got to me. So I gained five pounds. It’s not the end of the freakin’ world. But I was exhausted, and I did collapse later. Then everybody blew it out of proportion.”

Mariah on Eminem's apology: "Something is clearly askew with him, and I’m not quite sure what it is. I just heard something else he recently said about me. I’m curious as to why he’s so obsessed with me. I never got an apology letter, by the way; I don’t know what they’re talking about. Then again, I wasn’t exactly searching my mailbox for it."

Mariah on 'American Idol': "I know everybody thinks I’m the poster child for American Idol, but I was really shy when I first came out as a performer....Randy Jackson of American Idol has worked with me since my first record. I’ve known him for so long, and now he’s a huge star. It’s just weird to me. We’ll get mobbed walking down the street. You know how the band is introduced at a show? My little joke used to be that he was Michael Jackson’s brother, and the crowd would believe me and go crazy."

Mariah on wardrobe malfunctions: "Oh please, there have been so many. On this tour there was a really bad malfunction... It was this little top with a hook and eye on the front. It was a nightmare. The top was so tight that night because we girls have moments when the top might be tighter, but I caught it, and that’s how you know a pro."

Mariah on 'Gliter': "I try to avoid it."

So do we Mariah. So do we...
