Former Playboy model Holly Madison admits bedroom activities she didn't like to do with Hugh Hefner
Madison, now 45, opened up about her sex life with longtime partner Hugh Hefner while appearing on the podcast "In Your Dreams."
"Well, it's a very different story between when we were just, like, by ourselves than with everybody else in the room," Madison said when asked if Hefner was good in bed. "Everybody else in the room, no. That was disgusting. I hated it. I made it very known I hated it."
"But if it was just me and him, it was a lot more normal than you would think," she explained.
"I would not think it would be normal, to be honest," podcast host Owen Thiele noted.
"Nobody does," Madison responded while laughing. I think everybody has this, like, real horror story of like, how gross an old man's body must be."
Madison, a former Playboy model and one of Hugh Hefner's longtime girlfriends, left the Playboy Mansion in 2008. In her new interview, Madison admitted she was written into the magazine founder's will at one point before she left the lifestyle behind. Hefner died on Sept. 27, 2017. He was 91.
"I was put in the will at one point," she told Thiele. "And this is kind of sad. But when I broke up with him, I was packing my stuff. And then one day … there was a folder set out on my side of the bed because he knows I'm going to look at it. Like everybody knows I'm the biggest snoop in the house."
"So I look at it, and it's his will all printed out, all the details. This is who's getting what and ... he was leaving me $3 million," Madison claimed. "But it was kind of sad though, because I'd already broken it off with him, and he was trying to get me to stay. So it was kind of like a low-key bribe but also sad because he can't, like, sit me down and talk to me about it."
The "Girls Next Door" star went her separate way and said she later earned the $3 million left behind on her own.
Madison was 21 when she moved into the Playboy Mansion. She made her exit at age 29 after wrapping "The Girls Next Door," a reality TV series about Hefner's multiple girlfriends. In 2016, she wrote a memoir, "Down the Rabbit Hole," alleging years of verbal and emotional abuse.
Looking back at her experience, Madison would advise any hopeful model making her way to Hollywood for a big break to look at the "cautionary tales" of others before diving in.
"I remember being 18 and 19 and thinking I was such a badass and that I could just take on the world and that I could have sex like a man and have no emotional attachment," she reflected in an interview with Fox News Digital. "But it's really not like that. Doing things like that carries a lot of emotional weight. I think looking into people's stories who are honest about all the sides of the industry is a really good thing to do. And look at some of the cautionary tales before you just dive in."
On Monday, Madison is kicking off season 3 of Investigation Discovery's true-crime series, "The Playboy Murders," which explores high-profile tragedies and crimes associated with the iconic magazine brand.

Joanna Gaines, Lauren Sánchez Bezos share heartbreak and joy as they send kids off to college
School will soon be back in session and tons of celebrities are preparing to send their kids off to college. Lauren Sánchez Bezos got emotional last week after sending her son, Evan, off to college while Julie Bowen's son Oliver will be a freshman at the University of Oregon in September. Heather and Terry Dubrow's daughter, Katarina, will be a freshman at Yale this fall. Heather previously told Fox News Digital that as much as she is excited for her daughter, she will always worry about her. "I mean, you always worry when your kid is off to college, right? It's a whole new environment. And not only are they still going to school and dealing with social issues, but they're adulting, you know, they're living on their own and doing their laundry and eating meals with all these new people and all of that. It's a lot to take in. "And I think the take-home message for all of them is, you know, make sure you're eating properly, make sure you're exercising, make a study plan, stick to a routine, call home, take deep breaths and protect your peace," she said. Here is a look at stars sending their kids off to college this fall. The wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos took to Instagram to share a heartfelt moment with her son setting up his dormitory. "Dropped off Evan at college today. 18 years of early mornings, late night snacks and family dinners... and then there he was building his own dorm cabinet," Sánchez Bezos wrote, as she reflected on an emotional moment. "A small thing but in that moment I saw the start of his next chapter. Proud. Heartbroken. Grateful," she added. Earlier this month, proud mom Sánchez Bezos also took to social media to document her son's journey to college. In an Instagram Story, Sánchez Bezos related to other moms trying to process the moment when their little kids suddenly aren't so little anymore. "Shout out to all the moms who feel like we were just dropping off our kids at kindergarten... then you blink and now we are packing them up for college. I'm in tears!" she shared. Sánchez Bezos shared a photo Saturday of large blue bags that appeared filled with dorm essentials, sitting in front of framed comic book artwork. According to People, Sanchez Bezos announced on her Instagram story in December that Evan would be attending the University of Miami this fall. "Spider-Man" star Tobey Maguire is sending his daughter off to college in September. Maguire's ex-wife, Jennifer Meyer, took to Instagram in May to share photos of their daughter's high school graduation. "Congratulations Ruby!!!!! Graduate of our dreams. We are so proud of you in every way. We love love love love love you baby," she captioned the carousel of images. Tobey and Jennifer posed with Ruby in one of the shots. "Modern Family" star Julie Bowen is gearing up to send her son Oliver Phillips off to the University of Oregon in September. In an interview with E! News in July, Bowen confirmed her son's college plans. "He's going to college. He's going to [the University of] Oregon. He's very, very excited," she told the outlet at the time. Oliver was planning on making the trip to Oregon alone, but Julie had other plans. "He doesn't know I'm gonna road-trip up to Oregon. He said he's road-tripping and I'm like, 'I'm coming with you,'" she told the outlet. Bowen is excited for her son, who she shares with her ex-husband, Scott Phillips, but she admitted that she's "terrified that he's being released onto the world." "I love that kid, I love him so much. But I do wonder – nature versus nurture. You do so much parenting, and then you're like, 'You were always gonna be this person. You're always gonna be who you are,'" she said. In June, Julie took to Instagram to share photos from Oliver's high shook graduation. In the shots, her son was seen smoking a large cigar. "To the most original, interesting, and funny kid I know… congratulations @itsoliverphillips! You are a high school graduate! The future is yours (but that cigar will definitely make you puke)," Bowen captioned her post. Joanna Gaines is sharing the difficulties that have come with sending her daughter, Ella, off to college for the first time and saying goodbye to her son, Drake, as he tackles his third year of college. On Aug. 10, Gaines took to Instagram and shared a room full of boxes with an emotional caption. "They told me it would go by quicker than I think. That the days are slow but the years are fast. And darn it if they were right. This beautiful gift of time has roared past us all just like I was told." "Help me to embrace change with a heart filled with hope for the part I know to be truer than the rest – my kids and I may have been made for each other, but I also believe they were made for more. More experiences, more knowledge, more growing than could ever happen within our walls," Gaines said. She continued, "My oldest son left for his third year of college while my oldest daughter packs for her first year across the country. This season already feels like one big, breathless surrender. Lord, how do I hold them close while also letting go?" Gaines signed off by addressing parents who are sending their kids off to college and those who still have their children at home. "And let's all lean on each other when the time comes to hold it together," she concluded. Joanna and Chip Gaines are parents to five children: Ella, Drake, Crew, Emmie and Duke. The Gaineses have not shared where Ella or Drake are attending college. "Grey's Anatomy" star Patrick Dempsey celebrated his twin sons Darby and Sullivan's high school graduation in May. Patrick took to Instagram at the time and shared a photo with his wife Jillian and their sons. "Graduation!! So proud of you boys and cannot wait to see where the next chapter of your lives will take you!" he captioned the photo. The boys graduated from Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences in Santa Monica, California. Heather and Terry Dubrow's daughter, Katarina, is heading to Yale at the end of August. Terry told Fox News Digital, "For me, she's a uniquely brilliant kid. I mean, she was going to an amazing school. She got the highest scores. She was, you know, the greatest recommendation, the straight A's. She's super gifted, but she's a little scattered. We forget, we're concerned. She's the type of person who'll set her wallet down at a party." Terry's wife chimed in on her thoughts on Katarina heading to the Ivy League in a few weeks. "I mean, I would tell you as a mother, I think I've been really good at enjoying each of the stages. I love the baby stage, the toddler stage. I mean the middle school stage, not so much, but the rest of it, amazing. But watching each of our kids go off and find their passion and fly and start, you know, figuring out what they want to do with their lives. It's a really cool thing. So we just have one little guy left at home. He's going to get through high school and then Terry and I are free," she said. In April, Heather took to Instagram to celebrate her daughter's decision to head to Yale. "CONGRATULATIONS KATARINA!!!!" the proud mom wrote. "We are so proud of you and excited to watch you SHINE in college !!!! WE LOVE YOU," she captioned the images. Linda Evangelista's son, Augustin James, will be heading to college this fall. In June, Evangelista shared images of Augustin's graduation, which included his father, French billionaire François-Henri Pinault, and his wife, Salma Hayek. "Then this happened. 🎓♥️✨🙏🏻 I'm one proud momma. Blessed blessed blessed…" Linda captioned her carousel of images. The last slide of Evangelista's Instagram post was Augustin's graduation cake. "Congratulations Augie, David, Eli and Dylan!" the cake read. Included on the cake were USC's logo and Yale's logo. It's unclear exactly where Augustin will attend college. Buddy Valastro's son Marco is heading to Syracuse at the end of the month. The "Cake Boss" star took to Instagram in June to congratulate his son on his high school graduation and shared his college plans. "Congratulations Marco! Graduated and now college-bound, right alongside your brother at Syracuse! Proud doesn't even begin to cover it. Go show them what you're made of, we love you," Buddy captioned his post. Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber's son graduated from high school this year. Liev took to Instagram in June to share an image of Sasha's graduation. Naomi was in the shot, as well as the former couple's current partners: Taylor Neisen and Billy Crudup. Naomi and Liev split in 2016. "The graduate!!!" Liev simply captioned the image.

Prince Andrew was a 'bully' who humiliated royal staff throughout his career: book
Prince Andrew's reputation continues to come into question as claims made in a new book paint him in a very unflattering light. British author Andrew Lownie released an unauthorized biography called "Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York." In the book, and in a candid conversation with Fox News Digital, he described "countless stories" of Prince Andrew "humiliating people" and being a "bully." In one example that took place in July 2005, Lownie wrote that Andrew approached David Anderson, who was head of the household at Hillsborough Castle at the time, about damage from a storm. Anderson told him that a tree that had been planted by Queen Elizabeth had been damaged – but he referred to her as "the Queen Mother," which was apparently something Andrew took issue with. Lownie wrote, "Andrew turned to face his head of household, and 'with eyes like George III' said: 'By who?… "Queen Mother" is for the public etc, "Queen Elizabeth" or full QETQM used "in-house". Do you mean by my grandmother?'" He wrote that Anderson apologized, but Andrew began "mocking" him. He asked the man when he'd begun working for the royal family, and when Anderson told him that he'd been employed in service of the family since 1984, Andrew allegedly responded, "And you still don't know the proper way to refer to my grandmother? You f---ing imbecile. Get out." The Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II's mother, died in 2002 at age 101. WATCH: PRINCE ANDREW WAS 'CRUEL TO STAFF,' 'TOOK ADVANTAGE' OF HIS POSITION, ROYAL AUTHOR CLAIMS "There are countless stories of him humiliating people," Lownie told Fox News Digital. He shared some examples from the Duke of York's younger days, accusing him of, "for example, pulling their dresses, trying to pull their zips on their dresses down at important events, teasing people by saying, 'Smell the pate here,' and pushing their faces into the pate when they lean forward." He continued, "He was cruel to staff. He would humiliate them if they didn't use the right titles for Her Majesty The Queen Mother. He would summon maids from four floors down in order to just to open a curtain." He told another story of a diplomat visiting, and when he stepped away for a moment, "Andrew then removed his place setting and chair, everything, because he knew his position of power, and they couldn't really respond." Lownie claimed that Andrew "… used this position and took advantage." In "Entitled," Lownie wrote that Andrew's alleged bullying was such an issue that the royal family "held a summit" in 2021 to discuss his behavior. There, they reportedly agreed that "there was no way back for him" to find his place in the monarchy. "A former aide had been reduced to tears after being 'bawled at' in a phone call before dawn because Andrew was unhappy with a story in The Sun newspaper," Lownie wrote. "One member of staff was moved to other duties because Andrew 'disliked a mole on the man's face,' another 'because the man was wearing a nylon tie.'" A new report from The Sun appears to back up the claims of Andrew's rude behavior. According to a source who spoke to the outlet, Andrew was upset when he saw that workers were putting in speed bumps at the Windsor Great Park estate – including one that would force him to slow down when leaving his home. As he was riding his horse, he allegedly barked at one of the workers, "What the f--- are you doing now?" "Andrew likes to drive his car out of Royal Lodge quite fast and is obviously a bit peeved as one of the speed humps is right by the gate out of the park," the source claimed. As Lownie writes in his book, these types of accusations have followed Andrew for much of his life. One of his former classmates remembered the prince as "a very slimy so-and-so, arrogant, pleased with himself, a bully." She said, "He thinks he's funny, handsome and clever and he isn't… Nobody cared for him though some sixth-form girls hung around him… He swaggered around, but all the cool boys of his age thought he was a wally and tosser." Lownie told Fox News Digital, "Well, there are countless stories of him as a bully, right from as a very young child with other young children. But actually, last night I saw a friend of mine from university who'd been at school with him, and she was a few years younger. She was camping at the Duke of Edinburgh scheme at Balmoral, and he just wandered down. They were camping by the river, and just casually pulled the fly sheet off the tent, threw it in the river, and they had to carry this wet fly sheet as they marched for the next 10 days. They got rained on that night and got wet." He added, "And that's an 18-year-old with a 14-year-old girl. And I thought that was a pretty mean thing to do." When Fox News Digital reached out to Buckingham Palace about the claims made against Andrew, 65, a spokesperson explained that they don't speak for the prince as he's no longer a working royal. "Prince Andrew is becoming the Titanic of the royal family, with him hitting the scandal iceberg, which could sink the whole royal ship," royal expert Ian Pelham Turner previously told Fox News Digital. "Unruly, rude, arrogant – and that's, according to the book, some of his better qualities." "This is a book that will secure the final nail in Prince Andrew's coffin," British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital.
