Holly Madison 'makes up weird excuses' with her kids about why she's famous
Holly Madison is "still making up weird excuses" for her children about her fame. The 45-year-old star - who rose to fame on 'Girls Next Door', the reality show focused on the lives of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends at the Playboy Mansion - admitted she is yet to tell her kids the full story about why she still gets recognised in public. Holly - who has daughter Rainbow, 12, and son Forest, eight, with her ex Pasquale Rotella - told E! News: "I don't know, I'm still making up weird excuses. I'm like, 'Oh I just do YouTube' or whatever. "It's weird because kids that age, they have no idea what Playboy is, because it just doesn't exist the way it used to. "People always ask me, 'How are you gonna talk to them about it?' I have no idea. I will cross that bridge when I get there." The TV personality - who starred on the show between 2005 and 2009 - insisted the programme feels like a snapshot in time. Speaking 20 years after its launch, she added: "I feel so old! I guess that's a life time ago, it's so crazy. "I always say it's the one show you can't reboot, because it was like catching this little cult bubble in real time." Holly has been doing her own rewatch of the series, and she explained everyone can take it one of two ways. She explained: "You can watch it two different ways. You can watch it for all the eye candy like you did the first time it came out. "Or, you can watch it knowing all the stuff that's going on behind the scenes and that adds a whole other layer." Meanwhile, Holly admitted while she isn't ruling out a return to reality TV in some form, she has some strict parameters. She said: "I don't know. I always say, I wouldn't do anything about my person life. "I was asked to do the first season of Traitors and I turned it down because I didn't know what it was. "I just thought they were calling me a traitor and I was like, 'no.' " Now, she would reconsider, and even thinks she'd thrive in the castle. She quipped: "I have a good poker face."

Kendra Wilkinson reveals why she 'never bonded' with Holly Madison at the Playboy Mansion
Kendra Wilkinson revealed that she did not form many close friendships during her five years living at the Playboy Mansion as one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends. While appearing on the Him & Her podcast, the reality star, 39, reflected on feeling like the 'third wheel' around housemates and Girls Next Door costars Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt. 'That's the part that was hard,' she explained her not-so-close relationships with Madison, 45, and Marquardt, 51. 'I wasn't really a "girl's girl" at that point in life. I was more of a 'guy's girl,' so we never really bonded.' The mom-of-two, who moved into the Playboy Mansion at age 18, noted that she felt like an outsider around Madison and Marquardt while filming their series. 'I just decided to go with that during the show process,' Wilkinson said. 'Well, I'm just gonna be me and see how this works, rather than try to fit in.' I felt like I was a complete odd man out [in that] whole situation.' Despite never clicking with Madison or Marquardt, Wilkinson spoke about her friendship with Playboy model Jessica Hall, who briefly appeared on The Girls Next Door. Wilkinson's comments come just days after Madison spoke publicly about wanting to repair their relationship. Madison said she was eager to rebuild her relationship with her former Girls Next Door' co-star. 'It would be nice to be on good terms for sure, but I really don't know where she's at. "I look back at our relationship and what went wrong and I see a lot of fault with executive producers who [were] working on her show and my show after we left,' she told Us Weekly. Madison added that she wasn't sure if Wilkinson even remembered 'what [their] original falling out was all about.' 'I just don't know how aware she was of it because at the time, the person who was starting a lot of the drama was a person who was giving her a job. So she doesn't want to see that,' Madison said. Earlier this month, Holly described The Girls Next Door as a 'little cult bubble.' The TV personality starred on the reality series between 2005 and 2009, and Holly believes The Girls Next Door was a snapshot in time. 'I always say it's the one show you can't reboot, because it was like catching this little cult bubble in real time. And you can watch it two different ways. You can watch it for all the eye candy like the first time it came out and say, "Oh my God, look how fun." Or you can watch it knowing about all the stuff going on behind the scenes, and that adds a whole other layer,' she told E! News The reality TV show focused on the lives of Wilkinson, Madison, and Marquardt, who were the three main girlfriends of the late Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. In Madison's 2015 memoir, she described Wilkinson as 'the fakest person [she'd] ever met.' At the time, Wilkinson slammed Madison's book and criticism of her experience in the Playboy Mansion. 'It's a shame that someone can't be appreciative of what something like that has given them,' Wilkinson told Us Weekly. Their public spat reached an all-time high when Wilkinson tweeted about how Madison was on the cover of People Magazine talking about living 'in fear at the mansion.' 'She wasn't in fear with that dick in her a** for a paycheck,' Wilkinson wrote in a since-deleted post. 'That b**ch is in fear now knowing so many of us saw her doing some nasty s**t. She's embarrassed and in shame.'

Playboy star claims ex cheated on her with SEVEN women
Playboy star Holly Madison accused her ex-boyfriend Zak Bagans of infidelity with at least seven women, amid their recent split. Madison, 45, who rose to fame as one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends and a main cast member on The Girls Next Door series, shared a number of Instagram Stories claiming the Ghost Adventures star, 48, cheated on her. Taking to her social media over the weekend with a photo of a swimming pool, she wrote, 'It's a perfect day for me and not my ex who I just found out was cheating on me with at least three other girls.' 'Never too late to find out! Lol,' the star — who had an on/off again romance with Zak — added. She later updated her followers, writing, 'Wait. The count is now up to four girls. And they all have major receipts.' 'Let's see what this number gets up to by the end of the day. Feel free to place bets I'll keep you posted,' she wrote. She later returned with a new tally, writing, 'It's up to five girls now!' In yet another post, Holly wrote: 'The number is up to 7 women with receipts now, for those keeping track.' In the following post, she shared an image of Costco, writing, 'Some people were cheating in bulk.' She didn't specify how she learned about Bagans' alleged infidelity. In a TikTok video posted on May 10, the former Girls Next Door star further discussed the cheating allegations against her ex, filming herself while lying on a bed. 'My fantasy "I'm bored" scenario would be all the girls my most recent ex cheated with just filling me in. I need the lore,' she wrote over the clip. YouTube content creator Trisha Paytas commented, 'I couldn't imagine cheating on literally the perfect woman.' Madison replied, 'Thank you Trish.' After dating since 2019, their relationship ended earlier this year. She confirmed their split on her podcast in March. 'Zak and I broke up for good, for good. I know we've been very off and on,' she revealed on her podcast. 'Yeah, it was very off and on for the course of the like five-and-a-half years we were together. We were very off and on for the past year, very much.' 'So we broke up and I mean unfollowed on social media, which we've never unfollowed each other before through all the breakups.' The pair previously reconciled in 2023 amid their on/off again relationship. Holly and Zak first sparked a romance after Holly visited Zak's Haunted Museum in Las Vegas in May 2019 although they had known each other for years before that. Holly and Zak have kept their relationship private, rarely being photographed together. Earlier this month Holly opened up about life as one of Hefner's girlfriends, and what she did and didn't like about it when they were behind closed doors. The former The Girls Next Door star dished on her sex life with the Playboy founder and revealed she wasn't crazy about group bedroom activities. 'Well, it's a very different story between when we were just by ourselves than with everybody else in the room,' she said on the In Your Dreams Podcast with Owen Thiele. 'Everybody else in the room, no. That was disgusting. I hated it. I made it very known I hated it,' she declared. However their one-on-one time was different. 'if it was just me and him, it was a lot more normal than you would think.' Regarding the 50-year age different between the Hefner and his bevy of beautiful girlfriends, the reality star said, 'I think everybody has this real horror story of how gross an old man's body must be.' 'I feel like there was a time when I couldn't post anything without some dumbass in the comments like, "Oh, old balls," or something like that and look, maybe some people's balls do get old and nasty, but I've never seen such a thing.' Madison was Hefner's 'number one girlfriend' on TGND from 2001 until she left in 2008. Hefner died in 2017 at age 91. Madison has been able to turn her time at the mansion into a viable career that helps her support herself and her two children with jobs hosting The Playboy Murders and Lethally Blonde. Her parents, obviously know about her time with Hefner, but her children, Forest, about nine, and Rainbow, about six, don't. She shares her kids with ex-husband Pasquale Rotella. 'They don't know anything about it. They're very sheltered. They go to a very sheltered school. Their dad hates all that stuff, so he doesn't talk about it, but also kids that age have no idea what that is,' she explained.
