Holly Dunn Reveals "Rare and Aggressive" Cancer Diagnosis
Holly Dunn would like you to please keep her in your prayers tonight.
The 59-year old country singer says she has been diagnosed with an especially aggressive type of ovarian cancer.
Holly, who rose to pretty big success in the 1980s, made this sad admission to Christian website Hallels.
“Back in March of this year, I was diagnosed with a rare, very aggressive form of ovarian cancer,” Dunn said, joking:
“If you read the statistics, it is very bleak. Good thing I don’t believe in statistics!”
Dunn went on to say that her faith is helping her through this very difficult time. It’s unclear if she’ll survive the year.
“I had surgery and now I am having chemo treatments,” she said.
“I have since grown more tumors and it is going to be more of a battle than I anticipated, but I have a huge faith in the healing power of God and the healing power within me that originates from my God.”
Dunn went on to refer to her religion as her “rock” throughout this battle.
“I look towards a future when I am completely healed and cancer free. I ask for prayers of strength and courage as this journey continues,” she says.
Dunn is the sister of songwriter Chris Waters. She has released 10 albums over the years, with her best known tracks probably being “Daddy’s Hands” and “You Really Had Me Going.”
The artist’s first single, “Playing For Keeps,” was released in 1985.
She topped the country charts in 1989 and 1990 for her hits “Are You Ever Gonna Love Me” and and the aforementioned “You Really Had Me Going.”
She last came out with an album in 2003.
“I draw tremendous strength from my family and my family of friends who have gathered around me in total support,” Dunn concluded.
We send the singer our thoughts and prayers.

Holly Madison Announces Unusual Baby Name
Holly Madison has revealed the name of her brand new baby.
And it’s not as unusual as the name of her first baby…
… but it’s close.
A week after welcoming a child into the world along with husband Pasquale Rotella, Madison shared the above photo on Instagram and included with it the following caption:
“I’m so happy to be at home with a healthy baby boy, Forest Leonardo Antonio Rotella.
“Thank you for all the kind comments over the past few days.”
So there you have it. The boy’s first name is Forest.
We can only assume he’ll run around the world and meet many famous people and become good friends with an Army Seargeant who lost his legs in battle.
Soon after giving birth for the second time, Madison posted the following adorable image online:
Madison made waves back in March of 2013 for naming her daughter Rainbow.
She defended the decision by saying Rainbow was named after a former classmate, explaining:
“She was a perfectly normal, well-adjusted, sporty girl… so I’m not worried about my daughter being ‘traumatized’ by having an unusual name.”
There remained some haters at the time, to which Holly wrote the following:
“I want my daughter to be proud of who she is and learn to speak up and stand up for herself at a young age.
“I spent most of my life being a people-pleaser who worried about what other people thought … and I don’t want that for her.”
It’s become pretty clear of late that Madison no longer cares as much about what other people think.
She has published a new memoir in which she GOES OFF on Hugh Hefner and life in the Playboy Mansion, writing that her life as a girlfriend of this magazine founder was total “Hell.”
“It was a constant struggle,” says Madison, who lived in the Playboy Mansion for seven years.
Yes, seven years.
“I was trying to sell this image of ‘Oh everything is so great here,’ but I was miserable inside,” she added.
We’re glad Holly has left this life behind and we wish her and her newly-expanded family nothing but the best.

Holly Madison Gives Birth to Baby #2!
Holly Madison has taken a break from slamming Kendra Wilkinson to do something a tad more important:
Give birth!
Indeed, the former Girls Next Door cast member and Hugh Hefner plaything is now a mother for the second time.
E! News! has confirmed that the Playboy centerfold-turned-Las Vegas performer-and-author has given birth to her to a baby boy.
The father is Madison’s 41-year-old husband Pasquale Rotella, who is also the father of Madison’s three-year old daughter, Rainbow.
Rotella broke this exciting news on his Instagram tonight with a picture of the couple’s newborn’s hand next to his father’s.
“What an incredible week,” Pasquale wrote as a caption.
“A crazy, stressful start, which transformed into this magical moment.
“First, a five-year-long indictment against me was finally dismissed; then yesterday Holly, Rainbow & I welcomed a healthy 8-pound, 14-ounce baby boy to the family.”
That’s a strange segue into telling folks that you just had a baby, but hey.
Who are we to judge?!?
Rotella added of the above image:
“Now I’m holding my beautiful son at the hospital reading amazing birthday wishes from all of you. Definitely one of the most memorable weeks of my life! Lots of love to everyone who took the time to post, tag or send me a message online.
“I’m grateful & touched! We’ll be heading home from the hospital later & I’ll be posting photos of the new baby soon. Thanks ‘n love you ALL.”
Madiso also chimed in via Instagram, sharing a similar photo.
Her message was far less self-serving, however.
It simply included a bunch of heart emojis along with the following snapshot:
We know, right? AWWWWWW!
Madison revealed in January she was pregnant and announced in March she and her husband were expecting a baby boy.
During the third trimester of her pregnancy, Holly actually went on a national book tour to promote her second memoir, The Vegas Diaries.
This led to an ongoing feud with former co-star Wilkinson, along with Madison opening up about what a nightmare it was to live in the Playboy Mansion back in the day.
“I was miserable inside,” she said at one point of life as one of Hefner’s many girlfriends.
“The Mansion is all about conformity and judgment and following the rules.”
That does sound like it would suck.
But now Madison has something far happier to focus on: a baby! A growing family! A loving husband who isn’t going to jail!
Please join us in sending her your best wishes.

Holly Madison Reddit AMA: Kendra Who?
Holly Madison wrote another tell-all book, The Vegas Diaries, and has been promoting the hell out of it.
The follow-up to her first memoir, Down the Rabbit Hole, is supposed to chronicle her time living in Las Vegas after she left the famed Playboy Mansion, but she still manages to include several nuggets on the nightmarish time she had as one of Hugh Hefner’s “girlfriends.”
The former bunny recently did an AMA on Reddit, in which fans could ask her anything, and she’d answer in real time.
But when fans asked about her beef with former housemate Kendra Wilkinson, she chose not to answer.
One user questioned, “What’s up with you and Kendra?!” and Holly just ignored the question entirely. She did, however, respond to another question asked by the same individual.
Later, a fan brought up Kendra’s “fake laugh,” which Holly had described in her first book, but she passed over that as well.
In case you missed it, Kendra totally went off on Holly last week after the author described her time in the mansion as “miserable,” reporting that she had lived in fear.
The Kendra On Top star slammed Holly on Twitter, calling her Hef’s “clean up girl” whose job it was to “get Hef hard again.”
“Now Holly is on cover of People mag sayin she lived in fear at the mansion,” Kendra said. “She wasn’t in fear with that d–k in her ass for a paycheck.”
She later deleted the tweets and gave a half-hearted apology, but the damage had been done.
If anything, she just gave Holly more press for her book.
In the AMA, the author was asked whether she was glad she appeared in The Girls Next Door, the reality show about living in the Mansion, to which she responded:
“Oh, I definitely enjoyed the opportunity at the time! It was an amazing opportunity for me and I had a lot of fun.
“And for many different reasons go into it – a lot is in Down the Rabbit Hole, but it’s not really something I’d want to do now. I think reality TV was more a fun thing for my twenties.”
Another fan inquired about how she hardly knew Hefner when she moved into a mansion, and if it was common practice for the mogul to move women in without knowing them well.
“Absolutely! That’s 100% true,” she responded.

Bridget Marquardt Pretends To Care About Holly Madison and Kendra Wilkinson Fight
Former Girls Next Door star Bridget Marquardt is not choosing sides.
In fact, she"d rather talk about her engagement ring, which features a spider made out of diamonds.
Marquardt, 42, spoke to hosts Garcelle Beauvais and Kristen Brockman on Hollywood Today Live yesterday about her October 2015 engagement to director Nick Carpenter.
Oh, and about that massive fight between her former Playboy mansion roommates, Kendra Wilkinson and Holly Madison.
"It"s kind of sad," Marquardt revealed.
"Like I feel like we have a bond, the three of us. It"s kind of like, it"s not like a sisterhood, it"s not like friends, I mean it is friends, but it"s something totally different than any other relationship you could possibly imagine."
That explanation was almost impossible to follow.
"And so in that sense, it kind of makes me sad, but at the same time, I mean, Holly came out with a book and she gave her experience.
"This is what I told Kendra, ‘She"s writing about her experience and this is how she"s reflecting on it and she has a right to do that.
"And you have a right not to agree with her, but lashing out like this and saying such vile things and stuff isn"t really the way to handle it either,"" Marquardt said.
On May 17th, Madison debuted her new book, The Vegas Diaries, a follow-up to her 2015 book, Down The Rabbit Hole.
Marquardt also revealed that Wilkinson admitted to never having read either of Madison"s books.
"She must be referring to the first book that Holly wrote, not the one that"s coming out right now," Marquardt said.
"But Kendra hasn"t read the book. I asked her, she hasn"t read it."
Wilkinson reached out to Marquardt to appear on her WE reality show, Kendra On Top. The mom-of-two apologized to Marquardt for the hurtful things she said about their relationship and how they weren"t nearly as close as people thought.
"I do feel it was sincere and I do think there"s a long way to go," Marquardt said, looking back on their conversation.
"There"s been a long track record of things, you know, so I think that that"s definitely a step in the right direction, and we both feel really good about it.
"But it doesn"t mean that we"re BFFs or anything right now."

Holly Madison on Hugh Hefner: 11 Shocking Truths Exposed
For seven years, Holly Madison lived in the Playboy Mansion, pretending that life with Hugh Hefner and his tail-wearing harem was just a bowl of cherries.
But last year, her tell-all book Down the Rabbit Hole divulged the dark truth about the Playboy lifestyle, and it was anything but glamorous.
Now, Madison, who was once regarded as Hef"s "number one girlfriend," is back with a new book, The Vegas Diaries, in which she spills more secrets on her time as a bunny.
She exposes the Playboy mogul as a monster and describes the Mansion as a veritable house of horrors for a young, impressionable woman seeking glitz and glamour.
Read on for her scathing takedowns of the man beneath the satin robe.
1. Hef was a master manipulator
“There was some pretty clear favoritism going on…he liked to play favorites to keep everyone on their toes,” Madison claimed in The Vegas Diaries. “How else could he stay in control of seven women?” she added. “He needed to somehow maintain the upper hand.”
2. The fun, party atmosphere was all a facade
“It was a constant struggle,” says Madison, who lived in the Playboy mansion for seven years. “I was trying to sell this image of ‘Oh everything is so great here,’ but I was miserable inside.”
3. She hated being a Barbie clone
“I didn’t like being a clone,” she says of living in a house full of her doppelgangers. “That was definitely something that bothered me the whole time.”
4. Hef was downright abusive
“If Hef truly was confused as to why I left and forgot there was any fighting, he either had the world’s most selective memory or thought talking down to his girlfriends and making them cry on a regular basis was normal,” she said in The Vegas Diaries.
5. Hef hardly knew anything about his "girlfriends"
“He knew roughly four things about each girl,” claimed Madison. “Her name, her age, where (approximately) she was from, and how well she behaved and followed the rules.”
6. We all lived in fear in the Mansion
“There was a lot of fear because there was so much competition among the women,” which is the way Hef set it up, according to Madison.
Holly Madison to Kendra Wilkinson: You Don"t Even KNOW ME
This feud between Holly Madison and Kendra Wilkinson will seriously never end. Not that we’re complaining, it’s just a little surprising.
With the release of Holly’s second book, The Vegas Diaries, Kendra’s NSFW quotes / takedowns of her enemy have made headlines.
In defense of Hugh Hefner and Playboy, Kendra called Holly Hef’s clean-up girl and said Madison is the freakiest freak in the bedroom.
Those are among Kendra’s tamer reactions to her rival.
Following Wilkinson’s apology, which could best be described as tepid, Madison is speaking out directly about her former co-star’s criticism.
Suffice it to say, she’s taking the high road (or trying):
“I didn’t really get emotional about it. Obviously, I can go on Twitter and say just as vulgar things about her, but what is that gonna do for me?”
“Nothing. I wasn’t talking about her. She was reacting to a headline, which was a headline I wasn’t thrilled about.”
“When people pull a word that I don’t necessarily wanna be associated with and put that in a headline, I get it, it sells magazines.”
“But I’m not necessarily thrilled about it either,” Holly insists.
“We live in a click-bait world, and it’s these crazy headlines.”
“But, she still works in that world, she has a different viewpoint on things. I was there a long time before she was, so I saw a lot of things she never saw, too.”
“If she wanted to react to the book once, that’s fine.”
“But it’s a year later, I’m not even talking about it.”
Of course, she is talking about it, and continued to talk about it, further reacting to the grotesque nature of some of Kendra’s remarks:
“It’s gross, but I’m used to it.”
“Even when I was 11 years old and I moved to Oregon from Alaska, I was taller than the other girls and I was really shy, so that meant I was a slut.”
“I’d never even kissed a boy, but that meant I was a slut and I was trying to steal everybody’s boyfriends.”
“I feel like I’ve been dealing with that slut-shaming and internet trolls for so long. And when it’s coming from her, I have my suspicions.”
“[I know[ where it’s coming from and it’s so hypocritical.”
“I feel like I really don’t want to lower myself and go there and respond in any way other than, ‘I wish you the best. Bye."”
Madison believes Kendra is so defensive because one of her reality show producers is really close with Hugh, so it’s in her best interest to be.
Either way, Holly says that these days, looking back, she doesn’t care about Hef, but not “in a callous way, I just don’t care.”
“But even after I left the mansion, I realized that the person I’d cared about was so much an invention in my head. I don’t know this person.”
“I know how he treated me and how he treated the other women when I was there. But I don’t know this person in some ways.”
“And I just feel like I’ve moved on and he’s moved on so I just can’t even imagine having to say anything.”
Well, until the next time Kendra runs her mouth.

Holly Madison Dishes Even More Playboy Dirt In "The Vegas Diaries"
Hugh Hefner’s former #1 girlfriend had us all fooled.
Throughout the entire run of E!’s Girls Next Door, Holly Madison managed to convince viewers that she and Hef were the real deal, despite the age difference and the fact that there were at least two other girlfriends at all times.
Either Madison is the world’s greatest actress, or she’s bitter that things ended without an engagement ring/baby/cash prize, because Madison has penned yet another tell-all about her time at the Playboy Mansion.
The Vegas Diaries (HarperCollins, 2016) picks up where Down The Rabbit Hole left off, though the cover bills it instead as Madison’s “road to reinvention.”
Radar Online features excerpts from the book, which are just as scathing as Madison’s first tell-all.
In one chapter, Madison recalls breaking up with her boyfriend in 2009, the “controlling” hipster magician, Criss Angel.
Hef had invited Madison back to the Mansion in Los Angeles to film season six of The Girls Next Door.
“I was told it was what the network wanted. It was what the viewers wanted. It was what Hef wanted,” Madison wrote.
“But no one seemed to care that it wasn’t what I wanted,” adding that Hef was “not so subtly rooting for” his ex “to fail.”
Instead, Madison joined Dancing With The Stars and landed her own reality show, Holly’s World, which centered around her new life in Las Vegas.
Madison wrote that fans of The Girls Next Door “never saw any of the dark side: how we were treated, how we treated each other, or what people thought of us.”
Hef didn’t have a relationship with the females in his home beyond each one’s name, age, hometown “and how well she behaved and followed the rules.”
Hef exercised control and kept “everyone on their toes by playing favorites.
“How else could he stay in control of seven women?” she wrote.
“It prevented us from banding together and staging a coup. He needed to somehow maintain the upper hand.”
Madison saved room in the book to kick the crap out of her former roommate/arch nemesis, Kendra Wilkinson, who has defended Hefner against Madison’s claims.
Madison took Wilkinson to task for writing her own tell-all “the second” she left the mansion.
“In Kendra’s case, her tales were used to spawn countless tabloids bits to draw interested in her TV show, and the show in turn was used to push the book.”

Crystal Hefner Weighs In on Holly Madison-Kendra Wilkinson Beef
Crystal Hefner seemingly doesn’t love that her husband’s former girlfriends have been fighting about him.
If you haven’t heard, former Playboy bunnies Holly Madison and Kendra Wilkinson have been doing a lot of trash talking about their time living in Hugh Hefner’s mansion.
To say it’s gotten ugly is a gross understatement.
While Crystal did not address either woman by name, she shared a message to Twitter that pretty much sums up her feelings on the issue.
“Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent people ignore,” read the tweet.
We’ll just ignore the glaring grammar flaw and focus on the intent here.
She seems to imply that Holly and Kendra are both weak, and also stupid.
But while she insists that “intelligent people ignore,” she’s kinda choosing not to ignore the situation by sharing the post, right?
Oh, the irony.
This whole mess started when Holly told People that for her, life in the Playboy Mansion was a “constant struggle” and a “place where manipulation was used to keep everyone scrambling to keep her spot in the house.”
Kendra took Holly’s statements as a prime opportunity to bash her longtime foe in a series of nasty tweets that have since been deleted.
“Holly’s job was to get Hef hard again and clean him up with her mouth,” she tweeted.
“That bitch is in fear now knowing so many of us saw her doing some nasty s–t. She’s embarrassed and in shame. She was the clean up girl.”
“Now Holly is on cover of People mag sayin she lived in fear at the mansion,” Kendra continued. “She wasn’t in fear with that d–k in her ass for a paycheck.”
We told you it was ugly.
Holly responded by saying that Kendra “lives to demoralize and degrade” her, and suggested she try therapy.
My vote is to ignore all of these people moving forward.

Kendra Wilkinson Continues TMI Takedown of Holly Madison: She Only Takes It In the Backdoor!
Just when we thought the feud between Kendra Wilkinson and Holly Madison was beginning to cool down, Kendra went on the offensive in a big way with one of her mist scathing takedowns to date.
For those who haven’t been keeping up with this battle of the blondes, allow us to bring you up to speed:
It all started when Holly told People magazine that she lived in fear during her time at the Playboy mansion.
Kendra shot back with a series of burns that were primarily focused on Holly taking it up the butt.
“Holly’s job was to get Hef hard again and clean him up with her mouth,” Wilkinson tweeted. “That bitch is in fear now.
“She wasn’t in fear with that d–k in her ass for a paycheck.”
Earlier today, Kendra issued an apology, but stood by her remarks.
It looked like the ongoing cold war between Wilkinson and Madison had reached another temporary detente, but then Kendra fird more shots in her own interview with People:
“She is the freakiest freak in the bedroom,” Kendra said of Holly, adding that Wilkinson’s sole ambition was to get pregnant with Hef’s baby so that she would be on easy street for the rest of her life.
“She could have, like, stuck it up the right hole for her to get pregnant. But she didn’t. She was the clean-up crew.”
Yes, she’s going back to the butt stuff well. Not a well you want to drink out of.
Asked why she believes Madison has avoided confrontation with her, Kendra replied that her former Girls Next Door co-star is worried about being forced to answer for baseless claims she made in her memoir:
“She’s scared,” Wilkinson said bluntly. “There are so many things in that book that are fake and false. She’s scared of getting called out.”
Harsh. Sounds like it’s Holly’s turn to fire back.
Although if Kendra is gonna keep carpet-bombing her like this, it might be wise to just surrender.
Kendra Wilkinson on Holly Madison Rant: Sorry For Being Harsh ... But I"m Not Wrong!
Kendra Wilkinson railed against Holly Madison in a series of crazy NSFW tweets this week, and while she’s sorry for having done that …
That’s not the same as taking back what she said. FYI.
This week saw the renewal of one of Hollywood’s most heated and long-running beefs between two of Hugh Hefner’s former girlfriends.
Short version: Holly Madison has come out with a book, and a massive press blitz, in which she portrays Hugh and Playboy unfavorably.
K-Dubs, meanwhile, remains firmly on #TeamHef.
After hearing that Madison lived in fear at the Playboy Mansion (according to Madison), Wilkinson took to Twitter and just went OFF.
Holly, who was with Hefner from 2001-08 and spent much of that time as his “#1” girl, is just bitter and yearning to cash in, says Kendra.
Wilkinson has long maintained this in defense of Hef, whom she also dated. But she went a whole hell of a lot further this time around.
In Kendra’s view, Holly is Hef’s hoe and just bitter about being the “clean up girl” who was responsible for having to “get Hef hard again.”
Seriously, she said this. Word for word and many more too.
“Holly’s job was to get Hef hard again and clean him up with her mouth,” Wilkinson tweeted. “That bitch is in fear now.”
“Knowing so many of us saw her doing some nasty s–t.”
“She’s embarrassed and in shame. She was the clean up girl.”
“Now Holly is on cover of People mag sayin she lived in fear at the mansion,” Kendra’s social media diatribe continued.
“She wasn’t in fear with that d–k in her ass for a paycheck.”
Wow. Kendra, who previously said Madison took it in the wrong hole, deleted these tweets and apologized, but didn’t take it back either.
Rather, she continued to defend her ex with zero regrets.
“I felt the need to respond because I feel like she thinks … she can just get away with it [being just] her side,” Kendra tells Us.
“I have a right to respond to what I believe. I saw her everyday with Hef and what is being told is not what I saw. He’s done nothing wrong.”
“No one is going to stick up for Hef. … I have to be the one. I don’t really care what she says about me, but it’s how she paints the mansion.
“It’s making me mad. So many women, thousands of women, are so appreciative of Hef and so happy that Hef gave them their chance.”
“It just makes me mad that she wants to move on but she keeps writing stuff about the mansion. … I’m going to fight for Hef. That’s my job.
“She lived at the Playboy Mansion, people, not a church.”
Madison’s response? Saying she doesn’t wish to be in a fight where “one woman lives to demoralize and degrade another woman.”
“For those with unresolved issues, therapy works.”

Kendra Wilkinson SLAMS Holly Madison: She Was Just Hef"s Hooker!
Yesterday, Holly Madison claimed that she was “miserable” during her time at the Playboy Mansion in a scathing interview with People magazine.
“It was a constant struggle,” Madison told the mag. “I was trying to sell this image of ‘Oh everything is so great here,’ but I was miserable inside.”
She went on to say that she “lived in fear” during her seven years as one of Hugh Hefner’s top bunnies, and she threw some surprising shade at former The Girls Next Door co-star Kendra Wilkinson:
“I don’t think there would be anything positive about us meeting up,” Holly said about Kendra.
“It’s not a real friendship and it’s not part of my life anymore.”
Not surprisingly, the always-outspoken Wilkinson took to social media last night to share her thoughts on Holly’s interview:
“Holly’s job was to get Hef hard again and clean him up with her mouth,” she tweeted.
“That bitch is in fear now knowing so many of us saw her doing some nasty s–t. She’s embarrassed and in shame. She was the clean up girl.
“Now Holly is on cover of People mag sayin she lived in fear at the mansion,” Kendra continues. “She wasn’t in fear with that d–k in her ass for a paycheck.”
Needless to say, Wilkinson didn’t exactly hold back.
The Kendra-Holly feud has been going on for years, but things seem to have gotten worse in recent months,
Kendra has slammed Holly’s memoir as being full of fabrications and suggested that Holly seemed to have no problem with her life at the Mansion while she was enjoying the accompanying fortune and fame.
Don’t be surprised if Holly fires back sometime in the very near future.

Holly Madison: I Was MISERABLE in the Playboy Mansion!
Life in the Playboy Mansion isn’t a picture perfect scene of nirvanic bliss for the women who live there?
Noooooo.
It has always sounded like a perfect misogynistic hell hole to me, and Holly Madison confirms as much in an interview with People.
Madison exposed a number of ugly truths about life as one of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends in her tell-all book Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny.
But apparently, she didn’t tell ALL.
The author now has a few more scathing words about old man Hef and his House o’ Barbies.
“It was a constant struggle,” says Madison, who lived in the mansion for seven years. “I was trying to sell this image of ‘Oh everything is so great here,’ but I was miserable inside.”
“The Mansion is all about conformity and judgment and following the rules,” she continues.
Sweetie pie, of course it’s about conformity. Every woman in that house is the spitting image of one another.
“I didn’t like being a clone,” she admits. “That was definitely something that bothered me the whole time.”
“But the Mansion wasn’t a place where confidence was built,” she goes on to say.
“It was a place where manipulation was used to keep everyone scrambling to keep her spot in the house.”
And a place where sex with a geriatric was required.
Last year, Madison said she would not advise other women to follow in her footsteps.
“I kind of advise against it,” she said. “It might seem like something fun and glamorous or rebellious and dangerous in your 20s, but guess what? When you’re 30 or 40, you’re not going to want those pictures floating around.”
All of Madison’s revelations come as no surprise to me, but I suppose when you’re 20 and seeking approval from the world, being chosen to live in the mansion may be taken as some sort of sick validation.
Madison is currently promoting her new book, The Vegas Diaries, which chronicles her life in Las Vegas after she left the mansion.

Kendra Wilkinson SLAMS Holly Madison: What She Wrote is Bullsh*t!!
We"ve known there"s been no love lost between the former co-stars of The Girls Next Door, but now Kendra Wilkinson is calling Holly Madison a straight up liar.
Last year, Madison penned a tell-all memoir, Down The Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny, in which she divulged details of an unsavory life in the Playboy Mansion – and the people in it.
Calling out one Playmate specifically, Madison called Wilkinson "the fakest person" she"s ever met and accused her of lying about receiving a key to the mansion from Hugh Hefner.
Now, in a promo for season five of Wilkinson"s reality show Kendra On Top, we see the star assert that Madison made it all up.
"What Holly wrote in that book is pure bullshit!" she says emphatically.
Madison is obviously trying to sway public opinion of her, says Wilkinson, as if the public ever thought highly of her in the first place.
Wilkinson has taken jabs at Madison in the past. In fact, she says the two were never really friends to begin with, they just "f**ked the same guy."
Well, that"s pretty straightforward.
But more importantly, public rivalries between pretty women turn heads, and Wilkinson wants as many eyeballs on her reality show as possible.
"This is f**king war!" Wilkinson exclaims by the end of the clip, a harbinger of something juicy to come.
If you want to watch how this drama plays out, Kendra On Top premieres on WE TV on Friday, April 1, at 9 p.m. EST.

Holly Madison: Pregnant with Baby #2!
Congratulations are in order for Holly Madison.
The former Playboy centerfold has confirmed to People Magazine that she is pregnant with her second child.
“I’m so excited,” Madison tells the publication. “This time I know what to expect a little bit more. [That] makes it even more enjoyable!”
The busty blonde is already the mother of a two and a half year old daughter named Rainbow.
The former Girls Next Door cast member, who is married to Pasquale Rotella, doesn’t yet know the gender of her baby on the way.
She does have a “feeling,” however.
“I’m kind of feeling the boy vibe,” she says. “We’ll see how psychic I am!”
Madison adds that her child is hoping to have a sister, though, and also that Rainbow cannot wait to be an older sibling.
“She’s very caring and she loves playing with her baby dolls and taking care of the pets,” Holly gushes.
Over the past several months, Madison has been in the news for slamming Hugh Hefner in her new memoir and for then getting into a feud with Kendra Wilkinson.
How will Madison possibly top the controversial name of Rainbow this time around?
She isn’t saying. But it sounds like she’ll give it a shot.
“I don’t really like normal names,” she explains. “We have a few finalists.”

Holly Woodlawn Dies; Transgender Actress, Pioneer Was 69
Holly Woodlawn, a transgender trailblazer and actress, has passed away at the age of 69 after succumbing to a battle with cancer.
Woodlawn famously became Andy Warhol’s muse, starred in Paul Morrissey’s 1970 movie Trash, and also inspired an iconic song.
Growing up in Miami, she rose to fame in the early 1970s through her work with Warhol and Morrissey, and Lou Reed took notice.
In his 1972 hit “Walk on the Wild Side,” the singer famously says, “Holly came from Miami, Fla. Hitchhiked her way across the USA.”
“Plucked her eyebrows on the way. Shaved her legs and then he was a she. She says, ‘Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side.”
In 1992, she published her memoir, A Low Life in High Heels and saw a career revival in the ’90s thanks to several independent films.
More recently, she appeared as Vivian on Season 1 of Transparent.
Holly’s friend and co-star, Joe Dallesandro, confirmed her passing.
“I arrived to the hospice and went to Holly’s room, #403,” he wrote.
“I was next to her talking and telling her all the love that was being sent her way from everyone. It was like she knew I was there.”
“I am sorry to say at 3:06 p.m., Holly Woodlawn passed away.”
Woodlawn was remembered at Sunday’s The Trevor Project’s TrevorLIVE event in Los Angeles by NCIS actress Pauley Perrette.
“Pauley went off script [during he presenting duties] to honor Holly Woodlawn,” an attendee said of the CBS crime drama star.
“She said she was informed about her passing in the car on the way over to the event. She got teary eyed and was clearly emotional.”

Ronda Rousey Hides Face After Holly Holm Pumelling
As you"ve probably heard, Ronda Rousey lost to Holly Holm in a stunning upset at UFC 193 on Saturday night.
In the days since, the 28-year-old fighter has been radio silent on social media and there have been rumors that Rousey will need to undergo plastic surgery due to extensive damage to her nose and mouth.
Earlier today, Rousey appeared in public for the first time since losing her bantamweight title, and the usually outspoken star refused to speak to the press.
Even more troubling for fans of the former champ is the fact that Rousey carefully hid her face from paparazzi cameras while making her way through LAX.
Ronda"s boyfriend Travis Browne was also not in a mood to talk, and we have to pay grudging respect to the paps who persisted in questioning the couple, even though either party could break them in half.
UFC president Dana White has stated that Rousey is "depressed" following her defeat, but he also claims she"s eager to recover so that she can square off against Holm in a rematch.
Here"s hoping for a speedy recovery for Ronda.
That rematch should easily top Mayweather vs. Pacquiao as the real fight of the century!

Ronda Rousey to Undergo Plastic Surgery Following Loss to Holly Holm?
In a stunning upset, Holly Holm knocked out reigning UFC champ Ronda Rousey in the second round of a heavily-hyped fight in Melbourne last night.
Holm became the new bantamweight champion, while Rousey was rushed to a nearby hospital after enduring a vicious pummeling that ended with a kick to the neck.
The extent of Rousey’s injuries remains unknown, but several sources have reported that there is some good news, as the 28-year-old did not suffer a concussion, as previously thought.
Unfortunately, it’s also being reported that Rousey may require plastic surgery due to a shattered nose and badly split lip.
The news has not been confirmed by Rousey’s reps, but was verified by several mainstream media outlets such as ESPN.
Almost as well-known for her likeable, outspoken demeanor as for her dominance in the ring, Rousey remains the UFC’s most recognized figure.
Her film roles and feuds with celebrities like Justin Bieber and Floyd Mayweather have helped to make Rousey a household name, even to those who have no interest in mixed martial arts.
While the loss to Holm was obviously a serious blow to the previously-undefeated Rousey, she’s expected to make a full recovery and challenge Holm to a rematch.
We’ll have further updates on Rousey’s condition as more information becomes available.
