Playboy

TMZ caught up with the former Playboy Playmate who told us all about the big event. Although the details aren't clear, we can probably count on Kendra to make sure everything is extremely cheap.

Pass the Lucite stripper heels, please.

We're just sayin'.

Shrider has shot a series of scantily-clad photos with the hope of submitting them to Playboy and getting in the mag -- much like Audrina did back in the day, except Audrina is ... ya know, hot.

We're told Ranae really wants to get into Playboy -- but Verne Troyer would prefer she stay out of the spotlight, since all she does is remind people of that whole sex tape thing. A sex tape we too would like to forget.

Criss Angel has finally completed his first good magic trick -- he's made Holly Madison disappear from Playboy.

We're told the former Hugh Hefner hanger-on resigned her position as Playmate editor (whatever that means) for Playboy magazine -- all because she wants to spend more time in Las Vegas with the world's lamest illusionist.

Our sources say she's been nonexistent at the Playboy workplace for awhile now. If only Angel would follow suit.

The 34-year-old blonde knows you have to be willing to go down on your hands and knees to get what you want.

It's just a fact: Football and hot, barely dressed women just go together ... but not this year. The Playboy Super Bowl party has just been canceled for the first time.

The Playboy's Super Saturday night party has been 86'd -- and we're told "the economy did play a role" in the cancellation.

Our sources told us sponsors for the party are being frugal -- and the cash that was going to be spent on the party will go into making another website.

Lindsey Evans, the dumbass former beauty queen who was arrested after running out on a dinner bill -- and forgetting to take her weed-filled purse -- was among 5 brand new skeezers on Hef's arm last night.

Event organizers stripped Evans of her title -- are her clothes next?

Former Playmate of the Year Victoria Silvstedt says she campaigned for the job of girlfriend back in 1997 but Hef turned her down.

Steve Frye is suing a promoter of a party called "Leather Meets Lace" that was held at the Playboy Mansion in October. According to the lawsuit, women were given free admission to the event if they sent their picture to the promoter and gave a brief description of themselves. Smart guy Steve sent an email asking to be given the same treatment -- and was denied!

Oh yeah -- that chick next to him, totally wearing a see-thru dress.

The President of the Catholic League tells TMZ: "Playboy's juxtaposition of the sacred with the profane is a game that many have played, but to exploit Catholicism and insult Latinos in the same breath is novel. The December cover of its Mexican edition demonstrates once again that when it comes to good taste, Playboy remains quintessentially virginal."

We're told Playboy is getting flooded with calls from fathers, sons and holy ghosts.

TMZ spies say the Danity Kane has-been spent all day at a Manhattan photo studio doing a spread for Playboy, and we're told hotshot photog Markus Klinko was the guy who had to look at her naked body all day through the lens.
