Hef's Twins Love Bottom Feeders
Does something smell like rotting fish to you?
Just one year before they found their 82-year-old meal ticket and moved into the Playboy Mansion, 19-year-old twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon, were attached to a colder, deader creature -- this prize winning red snapper! The Shannons were obligated to pose with a winner of a spear fishing tournament in Florida back when they were working at a Wing House restaurant (think Hooters with better wings).
FYI -- Hef's not into red snapper ... he's all about the yellowtail.
UPDATE: Thanks to TMZ's loyal following of fishermen fans, we've learned the fish in question is not a Red Snapper, but rather a Hogfish. Our sincerest apologies.
ONE MORE THING: The comment about the wings was based on the opinion of the one guy in our newsroom who has actually been to Wing House. Our sincerest apologies to Hooters fans.

Hef's Girls Put the Jail in Jailbait
Hugh Hefner, 82, likes 'em young, blonde ... and bad.
Turns out Hef's 19-year-old handpicked twin successors to the throne of Holly, Bridget and Kendra come with a checkered past. Karissa (left) and Kristina Shannon (right) -- who have recently moved into the Playboy Mansion -- were both busted by St. Petersburg, Fla. police for felony aggravated battery back in January. They both received probation and were ordered to pay restitution to the two victims.
Karissa also has a misdemeanor battery charge on her record from 2007. Atta girl!
Playboy had no comment.
UPDATE 6:40 PM PT: We just talked to a relative of one of the victims and here's what they tell us went down. The twins went out after work with one of their Wing House co-workers, Erica Civello, to a house party. Kristina allegedly started arguing with Erica, and Karissa came up behind her and hit Erica over the head with a bottle of beer and they both "jumped her." Erica suffered a concussion.
Holly to Hugh: Hef Off
Holly Madison dropped some big news on us Monday night -- she and Hef are no longer together.
If a love affair between a 28-year-old woman and an 82-year-old man can't work, what hope is there for the rest of us?

Hef in Need of Extra Protection
You can only crash into the Playboy Mansion so many times before you incur the wrath of Hugh Hefner.
The Hef has been granted a restraining order against Glen Allan Meador. Who is he, you ask? Well, Meador was arrested twice in August for allegedly ramming his car into the gates of the Mansion. In a written statement, Hef said, "I am greatly concerned that Mr. Meador is unstable and a viable threat to my safety."
Holly, Kendra and Bridget are named in the documents as Other Protected Persons. Who says chivalry isn't dead?
Playboy Mansion: When You're Hot, You're Family
Check this out: Kendra Wilkinson on her back at the Playboy Mansion ... what a concept.
So who's that she's shooting? Why, it's one of the winners of that Playboy "Girls of Olive Garden" contest -- aka Amy Bissonnette.
Fun fact: We're told Kendra "flipped out" during the shoot when a bee got a little too close. The rest of the crew -- who couldn't see the insect -- just thought she was being her funny crazy self (oh that Kendra) and let her be.

The Model Candidate
People in Illinois don't know whether they are voting in the upcoming election for an older white-haired Republican or a young, hip ... Playboy model?!
According to the Peoria Journal Star, some voters attempting to run Internet searches on 63-year-old Joan Krupa (left) -- who is running for the Illinois House of Representatives 92nd District -- are instead turning up info on similar in name only, 29-year-old former Playboy cover girl Joanna Krupa (right). Now that's a candidate for change!
It's safe to say Joanna won't be doing any Joan impersonations on "SNL."
Hef Likes Him Some Sanchez
Hugh Hefner is into a particularly cute California congresswoman -- and he pulled out what he's famous for to prove it ... money.
TMZ did some digging and found campaign records that show, since 1996, Hef contributed on 11 separate occasions to O.C. Rep. Loretta Sanchez, a Dem. On all occasions, he plunked down the max, which is currently $2,300.
In all, Hef's filled Loretta's coffers to the tune of $17,800.
So why is Hef so into Loretta? We asked her yesterday, but mums the word.
Nothing wrong with it, but leave it to Hef to wade through a sea of forgettable faces and laser in on the hot one!
Lawsuit Claims Playboy Plays Dirty with Blacks
Maybe there's a reason all of Hef's girlfriends are blonde-haired and blue-eyed.
Terri Hughes was a producer for the Playboy Radio show "Night Calls." Hughes claims during a live broadcast, she was asked to repeatedly "wax" the "ass" of co-host Christy Canyon. She alleges Canyon created a hostile environment by, among other things, "exposing her genitals and breasts to co-workers, making requests to guests and co-workers to touch her genitals and breasts, and masturbating herself with her own hands as well as with various sex toys during live broadcasts of 'Night Calls.'"
Hughes, who is African-American, alleges that when a host of another Playboy show -- who was also an African-American woman -- requested for Hughes work on her show, the executive producer of Playboy Radio warned, "I don't know how to say this, and it might offend you, but I'm just going to say it anyway -- no Negro shows."
Hughes is seeking unspecified damages. Calls to Playboy were not immediately returned.
Michael Phelps Nerd No More
Is Michael Phelps overcompensating ... or just acting like a 23-year-old who just won eight Olympic medals?
Watch Michael party and gamble in Vegas. See Michael cavort with Playboy bunnies at The Palms. By the way, we're told Mischa Barton followed Michael around like a puppy dog. It's good to be him.

Holly Madison: No Thong in a Bunch
Holly Madison says there's no bad Bunny blood between her and Kendra -- but telling us they only talk through text messages hints maybe they ain't BFFs.
