Hugh Hefner’s Son Arrested For Allegedly Attacking Playmate

Jackie Willis — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 16:34:33 +0000

Trouble at the mansion. Hugh Hefner‘s eldest son Marston Hefner was reportedly arrested for allegedly attacking Playboy’s Playmate of the Year Claire Sinclair.

Claire, 20, is Marston’s girlfriend and according to TMZ.com, cops were called out to the Playboy heir’s Pasadena, Calif. pad after a 911 call was made by one of Claire’s family members claiming that Marston attacked the model.

A source told the website that cops saw visible bruises on Claire upon arriving on the scene, and that Marston did admit to an altercation with his girlfriend but denied striking her.

However, Claire’s story was very different. The TMZ source told the website that she told police “Marston had punched her, kicked her in the stomach and then refused to let her leave the residence.”

Marston was arrested at 11:15 p.m. on Sunday night for misdemeanor domestic violence. He was released on $20,000 bail not too long after his arrest.

On Monday, Hugh Hefner himself commented on the situation, telling People, “if they care about each other, they’ll patch it up.”

Jackie Willis — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 14:30:08 +0000

Is James Franco pulling of the Playboy look? The actor is portraying bachelor icon Hugh Hefner in the upcoming film Lovelace, and we think he definitely has the hair down.

Check out the split of Franco and a young Hefner and let us know if you think the actor looks like the Playboy mogul. While you’re at it, check out our gallery of other celebs who’ve played real-life characters!

Lovelace is based on the Deep Throat porn star Linda Lovelace, a role that is being played by Big Love actress Amanda Seyfried.

This film has had a bit of drama surrounding the casting. Demi Moore backed out of her cameo after it was reported she was admitting herself into a treatment facility. In other Lovelace casting news, Amanda’s Big Love costar Chloe Sevigny will also be joining the cast.

Check out Amanda on set as the porn star in the gallery below.

The film, according to IMDB, is about Lovelace, who is used and abused by the porn industry at the behest of her coercive husband, before taking control of her life.

This isn’t Franco’s first portrayal of a real-life person. Check him out in the trailer for his Oscar nominated role as Aron Ralson in 127 Hours.

Celebrity Death Hoaxes! (PHOTOS)

Sarah Angell — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 00:00:39 +0000

Last week rumors swirled around the interwebs that Playboy kingpin Hugh Hefner and actors Kevin Bacon and Wesley Snipes had all met their untimely demises. As the news spread like wildfire via sites like Twitter and Facebook, it quickly became clear that Hefner, Bacon and Snipes were just the newest additions in the long line of celebrity death hoaxes.

Thanks to the popularity of social networking sites and the speed with which rumors can become circulated on the Internet, fake celebrity death reports have become frequent in recent years. It seems that no celebrity, no matter how young or how old, is safe from these tales of paragliding accidents and fatal on-set mishaps, with the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Justin Bieber and Natalie Portman among the many stars who have been rumored to have passed away.

The cliffs of New Zealand are one popular locale for several fake celebrity deaths – George Clooney, Tom Hanks and Jeff Goldblum have all at one point in time been rumored to have fallen to their deaths there.

Shera Bechard: Who Is Hugh Hefner’s New Post-Split Girlfriend? (PHOTOS)

Mike Hess — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 12:38:31 +0000

Despite the claims of heartbreak and the pain of being a lover scorned, it was pretty clear that Hugh Hefner was going to rebound fairly well following his “shocking” split from Crystal Harris just days before the duo were supposed to marry. And, it seems as though Hef’s doing just fine for himself, as he announced on Monday night that he has a new gal in his life: Shera Bechard.

After being questioned on Twitter, Hef confessed: “Shera is both our November 2011 Playmate & my new girlfriend.”

So who is Shera? Celebuzz has some answers.

So, Tell Me More About Shera: Well, aside from what Hef said about her impending Playmate status, Shera’s website is a wealth of info. Did you know she was born in the same hometown as Avatar and Titanic pioneer James Cameron? Neither did we! That town would be Kapuskasing, Ontario. At the age of 18, she apparently caught the modeling bug and moved to Toronto and (an undetermined number) of years later, here we are!

What’s Her, Um, Physique Like? In the Playboy video below from when she was Miss November 2010, Shera declares that she’s 5-feet-six-inches tall, weighs 115 pounds and has measurements of 34-26-36.

Is She a Blonde or Brunette: It depends on the month. The header on Shera’s site shows her as a blonde, but most of the photos in the gallery have her as a brunette (and a scantily clad one, at that).

Hef Lives With Lots of Girls … Does Shera Have Roommates? Yes, three … and she plans on adding more. On her site, Shera says she shares a roof with the following:

My two cats Arthur & Rufus, and dwarf rabbit Ziggy. Looking forward to having a big house one day so I can have two dogs as well – a Dachshund and a Doberman.

Hef Is a Picky Eater. What Does She Like? Shera’s appetite runs the gamut of taste, everything from her penchant for sushi “especially Eel, Giant Clam, And Raw Scallop” all the way down to a good-old American “nice thick organic Steak.” Meat and potatoes — and eel! That’s our kinda girl.

Aside From Love, What Else Do She and Hef Have in Common? They both love animals! While peacocks and other wildlife roam the property of the Playboy Mansion, Shera says one of her biggest pet peeves is animal abuse. Also, she’s a big movie fan, so she and Hef will likely be cuddling up for movie night with no problem … for about 10 hours if she picks the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which is on her favorite list.

Celebs Who’ve Called Off Their Engagements (PHOTOS)

Jackie Willis — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 19:21:34 +0000

Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner, 85, and 25-year-old Crystal Harris have called off their wedding, but they wouldn’t be the first! Celebuzz has compiled a list of celebrity couples over the years who didn’t quite make it to the altar.

Hugh announced the split via Twitter on Tuesday, June 14, writing:

“The wedding is off. Crystal had a change of heart.”

A lot of stories are swirling as to what caused her to change her mind with Radar Online reporting that she’s dating Dr. Phil‘s son Jordan McGraw. TMZ was the first to report the break up saying that Crystal moved out of the Playboy mansion just five days before her wedding was to take place.

Hugh presented his twenty-something girlfriend with an engagement ring on Christmas Eve this past year. He described the proposal to People.com back in January 2011, saying, “I got her a little music box with the [Little] Mermaid theme to it, and it just looked like the perfect size and the perfect place to be the ring box. So when she started unwrapping that gift, I reached over and wound it so it was playing music while she discovered what was inside.”

Holly Madison Trashes Hugh Hefner’s Fiancee

Celebuzz — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 13:00:23 +0000

Former Playboy bunny Holly Madison is hopping mad over her ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner‘s current choice of future wife.

One-time Girls Next Door girl Madison has lashed out to People magazine about Hef’s new fiancée, Crystal Harris, claiming that the 24-year-old Playboy Playmate is more catty than bunny.

According to Madison, Hefner’s bride-to-be showed her true colors during an unaired scene from Girls Next Door, during which Harris allegedly trash-talked Madison and her pal and Holly’s World co-star, singer Josh Strickland. Madison huffs,

“They really need to show that birthday footage.”

Strickland adds,

“Crystal called us clowns in the circus. It’s just kind of like, ‘Who the hell are you?’”

He continues,

“We don’t really know her that well, but the few times we’ve seen her, it’s really been a cold shoulder. We really haven’t done anything to her.”

Harris’ manager, Michael Blakey, meanwhile, denies any bad blood between his client and Madison, claiming,

“Crystal has always been extremely friendly to Holly, and if that wasn’t the case, then Holly wouldn’t be continuing to return to the mansion. She doesn’t understand why Holly and Josh would make these allegations. She has no ill feelings toward Holly at all. Crystal believes this is a misunderstanding. I know her very well, and I’ve never heard her say an unkind word about anyone.”

Ladies, ladies; surely there’s a civil way to work out your differences. A pillow fight, perhaps?

Hugh Hefner Engaged to Playmate Crystal Harris

Celebuzz — Sun, 26 Dec 2010 09:51:07 +0000

Hugh Hefner is going to be a married man once again, this time with a bride 60 years his junior. Yes, you read right: Sixty.

The Playboy mogul announced via Twitter that he and 24-year-old Playmate Crystal Harris will be tying the knot, marking the third marriage for the youthful 84-year-old Hefner. In the announcement, Hefner proclaimed:

After the movie tonight, Crystal & I exchanged gifts. I gave Crystal a ring. A truly memorable Christmas Eve … When I gave Crystal the ring, she burst into tears. This is the happiest Christmas weekend in memory.

He then made things 100% clear for anyone who might have doubted the meaning of the ring, stating: “Yes, the ring I gave Crystal is an engagement ring. I didn’t mean to make a mystery out of it. A very merry Christmas to all.”

Hefner isn’t staying a bachelor for long, as his most recent marriage to Playmate Kimberly Conrad officially ended in 2009 despite the duo being separated since 1998. Before that, Hef’s first marriage ended in 1959 and he was working his Hef magic since.

Kendra Wilkinson Feared Hugh Hefner’s Wrath Over Memoir

Celebuzz — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:43:52 +0000

Kendra Wilkinson‘s foray into the world of authorship wasn’t without its hazards.

In her new memoir, Sliding Into Home, the former Girls Next Door girl spares no detail, particularly when it comes to her romantic relationship with octogenarian Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. And, as might be expected, Wilkinson wondered if she might catch heat from the pajama-clad nudie-mag pioneer.

In an exclusive interview with OK! Magazine, Wilkinson admits,

“I didn’t want to offend Hef, and that was probably the hardest part because I wanted to tell my honest thoughts, what was going through my mind at the time, and I didn’t want to lie about anything…Hef and I are like best friends, we’re all great friends now. I wanted to be honest. I could’ve easily said everything was great, flowers, roses, the whole bit—but I wanted to really be real with what was going through my mind at the time.”

So how did Hefner react to Wilkinson’s no-holds-barred public airing of their private life together? The newly minted authoress recalls,

“I was really worried that Hef would be mad at me, but he read it himself, and he emailed me and said, ‘I’m very proud of you. You actually told the truth. You didn’t write this book out of anger or jealousy. You wrote this book because it’s your story.’”

Of course, now the rest of us are left to grapple with the mental image of an 84-year-old man’s intimate relations. Maybe we’re the ones who should be worried?

The Magic is Back For Criss Angel and Holly Madison

Celebuzz — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:00:32 +0000

Looks like Holly Madison‘s ex-flame, Criss Angel, has been playing some mind tricks on her.

Star Magazine reports that the magic is back between the two former lovebirds, who broke up in February after dating for four months.

It doesn’t hurt that the 33-year-old former reality star has moved to Angel’s stomping ground, Las Vegas, to perform in Peepshow at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.

“Holly still had feelings for Criss, so around mid-June she gave him a call,” says a source. “She was thrilled when he asked to meet for drinks. They’ve seen each other a few times since!”

Did Kendra Wilkinson’s wedding make Holly realize that she wasn’t over her illusionist boyfriend? Hugh Hefner may be watching another one of his former girlfriends walk down the aisle soon!

Have your say in the comments section: Do you think that Criss Angel and Holly Madison belong together?
