Diddy was rushed to the hospital last night during a party at the Playboy mansion, due to an extreme migraine. He hosted the party for Hugh Hefner but his entourage became so concerned that they drove him to the UCLA emergency room.

Apparently the headache had nothing to do with the party and Diddy was a good sport about it. Later he tweeted: “This is actually one of the HOTTEST parties I’ve ever thrown!! Right now at the Playboy Mansion!!!! Let’s goooooooo!!!!” He tweeted later on: “Best grammy party I ever threw!!!! Thanks for comin out yall.”

James Franco To Play Hugh Hefner In Biopic?

James Franco is rumoured to be playing Hugh Hefner in the upcoming Linda Lovelace biopic, “Lovelace”.

Variety has reported that Franco is in the final stages of making an appearance in the film, which stars Amanda Seyfrield as Lovelace. It would reunite the Oscar nominee with his ‘Howl’ directors, Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman.

It’s described to be set “between the birth of the sexual revolution and the culmination of the feminist movement” where the life of Linda Boreman (Lovelace) becomes the world’ first erotic superstar due to the success of “Deep Throat”. It was one of the earliest pornographic films that featured a plot-line that achieved massive mainstream attention.

Hank Azaria plays Jerry Damiano, the writer/director of ‘Deep Throat’ that discovers Lovelace after her husband (Peter Saarsgard) shows him a home movie of her special skill. In fact, Franco was initially in talks to play that role. The cast also features Sharon Stone as Lovelace’s mother and it all began shooting this week in Los Angeles.

“It’s going to be really hard and kind of terrifying at the same time,” Seyfried was saying about her role, which was initially attached to Lindsay Lohan and then Olivia Wilde. “It’s something completely different. I do have some liberties there but I am playing someone that existed in history and had quite an established reputation for something very extreme.”

As for Franco, he’s expected to be on set for a single day as his screen time as Hefner is limited to scenes in which “the magazine mogul welcomes Linda and Chuck to the Playboy Mansion for a screening of “Deep Throat” and has a heart-to-heart with Linda about her future”.

Franco’s most recent blockbuster “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” is now available and he is currently wrapping up his lead-role in Sam Raimi’s “Oz: The Great And Powerful.”

Lindsay Lohan’s Playboy Cover Leaked

Speaking of stocking stuffers for Christmas this year, Lindsay Lohan’s highly anticipated Playboy debut is about to knock the socks (not to mention pants) off men of all ages.

Dose says Lindsay’s first and only interview since going to jail will be with Ellen Degeneres on The Ellen Show. It doesn’t seem appropriate for most peole to discuss one’s nude photo shoot on a day time talk show but to Lindsay it’s totally the norm.

The cover of her January issue of Playboy is already being passed around the internet and is known tucked away in a secret folder on everyone’s computer. Once again, she channels her icon Marilyn Monroe. She’s seen before a red background straddling the iconic Playboy logo.

“It’s a classic tribute inspired by the original Tom Kelly nude pictorial of Marilyn Monroe, a portion of which was the original playmate which was in the original issue of Playboy,” Mr. Playboy himself, Hugh Hefner reveals.

The only reason I’d want this issue to sell a lot of copies is because those editors who spent 24 hours photoshopping and retouching Lindsay should get a raise.

Lindsay Lohan: Jailbird and Playboy Bunny

When she should be cleaning at morgues an preparing for court, it appears Lindsay Lohan has more important things on her agenda: posing for Playboy.

Rumours have been swirling about this for years now but it’s finally made official – sort of!

TMZ reports Hugh Hefner recently called up Lindsay with an offer close to her asking price of one million dollars. I mean, she isn’t gonna strip for peanuts!

Lindsay’s representative hasn’t confirmed or denied this but I’m betting it’s a go. Lindsay’s legal bills must be through the roof right now and since she hasn’t been making movies lately her bank account must be seeing red. No wonder she’s been begging to bear it all for a mil. With that amount of money, she can at least double her net worth!

Hugh Hefner And Fiancee Call Off Wedding

Hugh Hefner and fiancee Crystal Harris have called off their wedding, reports CTV.

The couple have canceled their wedding just five days before they were set to walk down the aisle on Saturday, at the Playboy Mansion. Where else?

TMZ reports the two got into an argument over the phone last weekend, which resulted in Harris moving herself out of the mansion. Hef is 85 years old, while Crystal is 25.

Yep, that’s a nice visual. He was 60 when she was born.

The wedding would have been attended by over 300 guests and Harris would have worn a pink Romona Keveza gown.

“No expense is being spared for the wedding. It isn’t even a compromise, because Hef wants Crystal to have the wedding of her dream,” Hugh’s spokesperson Kellie Olisky has previously said.

Hugh has been married twice before, once to Mildred William, whom he had two children with, and then to playmate Kimberley Conrad, whose divorce was finalized in March 2010.

Are we really suprised the marriage didn’t last? Hef isn’t the married type – once a player, always a player. Honestly, I think it’s a blessing in disguise for Harris. You can do better.

Kendra Wilkinson Receives a Wedding Invite to Hef’s Wedding… Via Email

Former ‘Girl Next Door’ Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett, who complained to E! News not long ago that she hadn’t received her invitation to Hugh Hefner’s wedding, has finally received her wedding invitation. Via email.

That’s right – the former girlfriend to Hef revealed on Jay Leno’s ‘The Tonight Show’ Thursday that she has finally received the wedding invite to Hef and Crystal Harris’ wedding. In case you’re wondering who Crystal Harris is, she is a blonde Playmate (shocking.)

“I hadn’t gotten my invitation yet,” the reality star said. “I was a little bit worried, so I put it out there into the universe—the media,” she admitted. “You know, sometimes you have to use being a celebrity sometimes, get things out there and be like, ‘Where’s my invitation? Wink-wink.’”

“I actually got an email from Hef right after that,” she added.

Jay Leno also happened to have a copy of the email – oh the magic of television!

“Dear Kendra,” it read. “We haven’t sent any ‘Save the Dates,’ but if you can’t make the planned wedding on June 18, we’ll just change the date. Do you think I’d consider getting married without you being there?!”

“Keep shaking your booty. I love you. See you soon. All best, Hef.”

How sweet. I wonder if the two previous Girl Next Doors (Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt) got invited as well. Who knows, but Kendra insists she is attending.

“Yeah, of course,” Kendra said when Jay asked if she’d be going.

“He’s really, really happy about it,” she had said earlier. “He’s where he wants to be in life and I’m happy for him…I’m glad he’s doing what he wants to do.”

I don’t see the point of Hef getting married, but whatever makes him happy. He’s gone his entire life being a player and I never would have pegged him to be the married type, yet there he goes shocking everyone once again. Hey – congrads!

Playboy Mansion Grotto Under Investigation

The Playboy Mansion’s legendary Grotto is under investigation after a respiratory epidemic following a party at the house earlier in the month.

TMZ reports that a survey was sent out to everyone who worked the party on Feb. 3 to see if there is a connection between the grotto and the sickness.

The survey specifically asks if the workers spent time around two party-centric “water features” on the property — 1) Grotto/pool … 2) Dance floor near fog machine.

The party was for Internet entrepreneurs. Fortunately the billionaire entrepreneurs have been able to afford decent healthcare. The same can’t be said for the workers.

Holly Madison Finds Twitter Romance

Former “Girl Next Door” Holly Madison has found her new boyfriend via Twitter. The former Playboy Playmate started talking to her new love, Jack Barakat, through the social networking site after being introduced by friends, reports E!

“We met through a mutual friend and then somehow somebody retweeted something funny he said on Twitter,” she said. “So I started following him and then we started tweeting each other back and forth!”

The romance blossomed and eventually phone numbers were exchanged.

“We were texting for months, and finally when I had my vacation, I was like, ‘Do you wanna come out hang out with me?’ and he did and we hit it off right away,” Madison said.

It’s very nice to see Holly getting over her former artifact boyfriend Hugh Hefner. Hopefully her new boyfriend can keep going without popping a truck load of Viagara, unlike Hefner.

Living Corpse Becomes Engaged To Nondescript Blonde Scantily Clad Woman (again)

The original Playboy Hugh Hefner is taking yet another trip down the aisle with one of his beautiful playmates.

Radar Online is reporting that the Hef popped the question to Crystal Harris, a 24-year-old and Playboy’s Miss January, on Christmas. The magazine tycoon took to his Twitter account to announce the happy news.

“When I gave Crystal the ring, she burst into tears. This is the happiest Christmas weekend in memory,” Hefner microblogged.

The 84-year-old did not mention a set date or location for the ceremony, but we imagine Crystal is already eagerly planning away. After all, why delay a wedding to an octogenarian gazillionaire with dozens of girlfriends who look exactly like you?

Fourth times the charm, right Hef?

Happy birthday, Hugh Hefner!

The Playboy king celebrated his 84th birthday at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas on Saturday, reports E!Online.com. It started with dinner at the N9NE Steakhouse and ended with an after party at the Playboy Club.

Not bad for a man who’s only 16 years away from a century of life on this earth!

No One Wants to Be Burried Above Marilyn Monroe

The burial vault above where Marilyn Monroe’s remains lie was auctioned off, but failed to receive any bids, reports CBC. This is the second time the crypt of Richard Poncher has been placed on the auction block since August.

Poncher’s widow is selling the vault to pay off the mortgage on her home in Beverly Hills. He died 23 years ago and his remains will be moved to a nearby plot, she says.

The starting bid on auctioncause.com was $500,000, but Eric Gazin of the auction web site says the family was hoping to get $4 million.

The plot is at the Village Memorial Park Cemetery, where the remains of Farrah Fawcett and Dean Martin also lie. The spot next to Monroe was sold for $75,000 to Playboy founder Hugh Hefner in 1992.

The Playboy mogul’s 83rd birthday was a success in Las Vegas- even though Hugh Hefner was in the middle of a crowd including his current and former girlfriends.

According to E! News, ex-girlfriends Holly Madison, Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt made sure to give the big boss their own gift.

“I haven’t seen him since I left the mansion,” said Madison.

Holly threw a poolside birthday bash at the Palms Place Pool, Kendra Wilkinson presented him with a thoughtful birthday card, and Bridget Marquardt performed a rendition of “Happy Birthday” at the Moon Nightclub.

“As you can tell I am very, very happy to celebrate my birthday with new girlfriends and former girlfriends,” said Hefner. “It’s perfect, its wonderful, I’ve had a life well-lived with so much satisfaction, I enjoy just looking back.”

The King of Playboy is 83-years-old and still a trooper.

After Fox News reported earlier today that Hugh Hefner “looked far from his normally alert and healthy self” at Saturday’s Kandykaneland Masquerade Ball at the Playboy mansion with his new girlfriends Crystal Harris and 19-year-old twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon, Hefner said that he’s doing more than fine.

“I am in perfect health,” Hef said. “I’m in very good shape and feeling very good.”

According to E! News, Hef said he had a full night of partying the night before, and was completely normal the following day. “I was up in the morning, played backgammon during the afternoon with a buddy before we watched the final episode of The Girls Next Door,” said Hef.

Playboy Wants Miley, in Three Years

Hugh Hefner says that he’d love to have Miley Cyrus pose for Playboy when she turns 18.

Cyrus has been the centre of the media spotlight this month for her recent photo spread in Vanity Fair. The photo, taken by world renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz, shows 15 year old Cyrus topless with a sheet covering her chest.

Critics say Cyrus is too young to be photographed topless.

“I think to make such a big to-do over something as innocent as those photos is a reflection on how schizophrenic America is about sexuality,” Hefner said in a recent television interview.
