‘Disgusting': Playboy star Holly Madison calls out alleged act
Holly Madison is best known for being a girlfriend of Hefner, the man behind the Playboy Mansion, and starring on the reality show The Girls Next Door.
But, appearing on the In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele podcast, she said looking back on her time with Hefner her feelings were definitely 'mixed'.
She said after breaking up with Hefner, and leaving the mansion, she initially wanted to be respectful and it took her years to process the negative things that happened and then speak out about it.
Speaking on the podcast, Madison was very honest about what being intimate with Hefner was like.
'It was a very different story between when we were just by ourselves then with everyone else in the room,' she said.
'Everybody else in the room — no that was disgusting. I hated it. I made it very known I hated it.'
It's not the first time she has alleged that Hefner expected his girlfriends to participate in group sex, and perform sex acts in front of him. She made the same claims in her book, The Guardian reported. Some of Hefner's other girlfriends have said they experienced the same, with Bridget Marquardt saying she used to try to have sex with Hefner first on these nights as it seemed the 'cleanest'.
Others have denied that this sex act took place.
She said when it was just the two of them, intimacy was 'a lot more normal' — something she said not many people believe.
'I think everybody has this real horror story of how gross an old man's body must be. I don't post much these days, but I feel like there was a time where I couldn't post anything without some dumba** commenting something like 'old balls',' she said.
'Maybe some people's balls get old and nasty but I've never seen such a thing.'
The 45-year-old was just 21 when she moved into the home, and was Hefner's girlfriend between 2001 and 2008. Hefner often had multiple girlfriends, and at one time had as many as seven.
The Playboy Mansion, once a celebrity hot spot, was known for hosting countless parties. In the property's infamous Grotto, or the steamy cave-like pool, there were numerous debauched escapades.
Madison alleged that all of Hefner's girlfriends had to maintain a certain look, and they couldn't date other men or have an apartment of their own. If anyone broke a house rule, they would be shown the door, Fox News reported.
However, after Hefner died in 2017 at the age of 91, the dark side of the mansion became exposed — sparking the show The Playboy Murders.

Miriam Margolyes doesn't fear being cancelled
Miriam Margolyes doesn't worry about being cancelled. The 84-year-old actress has faced a backlash for her criticism of the Israeli government's actions in Gaza but she believes she has a responsibility to speak out and try to instigate change, and she doesn't worry about the consequences for her career. She told The Guardian newspaper: 'People say: 'You're just an actor, for f***'s sake, shut up.' Well, that is a point of view. I don't happen to share that. "I think that if you have a chance to make an impact for good, to change things, then you should. I think it's an absolute requirement, and people don't, out of fear sometimes. They are afraid of being cancelled. You can't cancel me!' Miriam tries to use her age to her advantage - but admitted there is no reason why people "should" listen to her. She said: 'If somebody p***** me off, I'll say, 'Now listen to me, I'm 84!' But I don't see why they should!' The Harry Potter actress is returning to the Edinburgh festival for the second year running with a new version of her show, which is based on the characters of Charles Dickens, and she admitted it isn't a hardship for her because she enjoys it so much. She said: 'I'm very lucky. There's relatively few people of my age still working. "[There is] nothing like a live audience. It's like a kiss, it's a caress.' 'I just enjoy doing it so much. My favourites like Mrs Gamp, Miss Havisham, I think I'm a perfect person to give voice to these amazing creations of which there were very many. So it's a bit of a w***, really." However, the actress did not that life on the road can be tiring these days. She said: 'I'm gathering my powers and I will deliver, but it is a struggle.' And while she has an "immediate feeling of joy and competence" when she steps out onto the stage, Miriam admitted that hasn't always come naturally. Asked if she's always felt confident during a live performance, she replied: 'No, it has come with time. What I am conscious of now is that people know who I am and that is really relatively recent.'

New app lets people buy tickets for strangers wedding
A new app allows couples to sell invites to their wedding to total strangers. Invitin founder Katia Lekarski founded the startup earlier this year after realising she isn't invited to as many weddings as she'd like. As reported by The Guardian newspaper, the platform sees people buy tickets to weddings to help with the cost, while getting a chance to mingle with other guests. Lekarski told the outlet: "I was renting my house in south-eastern France to some people who were attending a wedding, and my five-year-old daughter asked: 'Why aren't we also invited to weddings?' "I thought: what if we could pay for tickets to a wedding and help the couple getting married in that way?' Invitin takes commission, with a small number of paid guests attending each wedding. Generally, there could be five to 10 paid strangers at one of the ceremonies, costing an average of €100 to €150 per guest. Tickets can cost more depending on the wedding in question, while the add-ons much agree to strict rules. As well as following the dress code and turning up on time, the ticket-buyers have to drink in moderation, and can't share any photos without permission. Meanwhile, the couple getting married aren't required to actually talk to the paying guests on the day. Lekarski added: "A wedding has its own ecosystem where guests get chatting to each other of their own accord." Parisian couple Jennifer and Paulo signed up to invite a few strangers to their wedding, which already has 95 of their family and friends in attendance. She said: 'I thought: 'Woah, that's quite something', having people you don't know at your wedding. 'It's not only about the money, which is a drop on a hot stone in terms of the overall wedding cost, although it will help a bit in terms of the cost of things like decoration and the dress. "It's also because we thought it could be fun and we're extroverted and open to sharing things.'

Olly Murs recalls suffering 'dad guilt'
Olly Murs felt "guilty" about touring after he became a dad. The 41-year-old pop star headed out on tour after Amelia Tank, his wife, gave birth to their daughter Madison in April 2024, but Olly doesn't intend to make the same mistake again. The chart-topping star - who is now looking forward to the birth of their second child - told The Sunday Times Magazine: "Two days after Madison was born I had to go on tour supporting Take That. "Amelia had lots of support around her as her mum came to stay and my parents live near us in Essex, but it was hard and I felt guilty." Olly recognises that he doesn't have a typical work schedule. However, he's determined to be more present for their second child. The Heart Skips a Beat hitmaker said: "We both understand that my work isn't like a regular job — but second time round I'm not going anywhere." Olly previously revealed that he wants to make the "most of every day" with his daughter. The singer acknowledged that fatherhood isn't always easy, but he's still relished the experience. He told EssexLive: "I can't believe it's been nearly a year since I was on tour with Take That and she was born. It just goes so fast! "A lot of people said that to me, when you have a child, in some of the moments where you're having difficult days and there's crying and they always say, try and enjoy these moments. I'm like, how can I enjoy it, it's tough, I'm tired! "Now she's at a really great age at 11 months, she's sleeping well, she's weaning, and that's an even more of a daunting stage because then she starts figuring out, you know, how to eat and what she can swallow. But it's so important to make the most of every day, because time flies so fast." Olly also admitted that he struggles to go to work and leave his family behind. He said: "We are over the moon and just full of love. It was so horrible to say goodbye to Madison this morning and Amelia. But the show must go on. I can't believe I am a dad."
