Jewel, who was supposed to be on Dancing with the Stars this season along with her husband, cowboy Ty Murray, hurt her knee badly two weeks ago during strenuous practices. Although she has said that she is still going to perform this season and to not “count her out,” her tendinitis might force her to drop out. Replacing her would be another blonde (albeit bustier) beauty, Holly Madison, formerly of The Girls Next Door. Bridget Marquardt, Holly’s costar on the Playboy show, says that Holly has wanted to do the show for a couple of seasons now but Hef wouldn’t let her. Now that she’s moved out of the mansion (and subsequently broken up with Criss Angel), she’s ready to take to the stage. Us claims that a “DWTS” source has confirmed the replacement, but Jewel’s rep says that she will be there for the premiere.
“I’m so excited for her,” Marquardt — who next stars in a Travel Channel show called Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches — told FOX’s Strategy Room Wednesday.
“She’s wanted to do it for so long,” Marquardt added. “It just never worked with her schedule and Hef was always like ‘I don’t want you to do that,’ and now it’s her time, so I’m really happy for her.”
There is speculation Madison could be replacing Jewel, who has been struggling with knee problems, and blogged last week that tendinitis could force her to drop out.
“Unless there is a miracle healing, Holly is confirmed to be a part of the premiere,” a DWTS source tells Us.
Jewel released a statement last week saying she’d suffered a “minor setback,” and added: “Don’t count me out, as I am in this for the long run.”
A source close to Jewel tells Us she’ll still be on the show Monday.
An ABC rep would not comment to Us.

Although this is sad news for Jewel, Holly would be a really good addition to the cast of the show. She’s pretty, charming, and charismatic. And those short, low-cut outfits would surely look great on her. Considering that Bridget accidentally let this slip on live TV, I would tend to believe that the suits have told Holly she’ll be performing but haven’t broken the news to Jewel yet. It’s probably for the best - tendinitis is not something to play around with. It’s disappointing, but if she performed and practiced like the other contestants, her knee would only get worse. Maybe she can take a rain check for next season.

Holly Madison is set to replace Jewel on Dancing With The Stars. Jewel recently wrote that her jacked up knee could force her off the show.
“She’s wanted to do it for so long,” Marquardt added. “It just never worked with her schedule and Hef was always like ‘I don’t want you to do that,’ and now it’s her time, so I’m really happy for her.”
I don’t watch this show because I have self-respect, but good for Holly. She’ll have an easy time slipping a nipple here. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, people love to see nipple. Like this one time when I bought a hot dog, I pulled down my t-shirt and rubbed my nipple real seductively and the guy gave me the hot dog for free. In fact, he was so turned on, he ran away screaming.

Once again on the singles list, Holly Madison was spotted out having fun with the girls at Foxtail Restaurant & Club in Hollywood on Saturday night (February 28).
Brightening things up in a 50’s yellow dress, the former “Girls Next Door” star joined a few fellow Playmates including the lovely Jayde Nicole for an evening of drinks and dancing.
As previously reported by Gossip Girls, Miss Madison recently ended her short-lived romance with magician Criss Angel, though the two claim to still be on good terms.
“Criss and Holly are no longer a couple,” their rep, Steve Flynn, told press. “They remain very close friends and wish each other the very best.”

I guess the magic only lasts about four months — former Girl Next Door Holly Madison has split with Mindfreak douchebag Criss Angel. According to E! Online
“She was very much in love with him, and they’re still very close friends,” [says] a source. “It was a conflict of schedules. She felt she couldn’t devote 100 percent of her time in Vegas and his career at the expense of her career and her goals.”
The 29-year-old Madison and 41-year-old Angel had been [living together in Vegas] since December, but the Playboy pinup recently moved back in with family.
Oh, don’t you worry your pretty little heads about that. He’ll find some way to win her back, you’ll see. Maybe a new shade of eyeliner. Deep plum instead of black. And one of those gothic mani-pedis and some new Oscar Blandi texturizing paste and a little more layering around the face. Hell, maybe this time he’ll even invest in one of those “penis” things Holly was always rambling on about. Drastic times call for drastic measures!
Happier times at the “Repo: The Genetic Opera” premiere:

A young girl loiters around a senior citizen, desperate for marriage and babies. When she realizes that an 82 year old man might not be keen for marriage and babies at this late stage, she decides to leave for a man exactly half his age. Sadly, a conflict of schedules got in the way of their love.
The couple had been dating since late last year after Madison moved out of the Playboy Mansion following her breakup with Hugh Hefner.
“She was very much in love with him and they’re still very close friends,” says a source close to the couple. “But it was a conflict of schedules. She felt she couldn’t devote 100% of her time to him in Vegas, at the expense of her own career and her goals.”
Madison, 29, and Angel, 41, had been living together in his Las Vegas home since December, but she has recently moved out and is staying with family.
The source went on to say, “It was a tough decision for her to make, but she wanted pursue her career. She still has very intense feelings for him.”
OK! Magazine
Holly and Criss have been officially dating for four months, and in the time honored tradition of the Paris Hilton-Benji Madden union, she liked to talk to the press frequently about how much they were in love.
Holly planned to propose. She made Criss a little paper ring to wear.
She quit her awkward job with Hugh Hefner so she didn’t have to commute to Vegas anymore to be with her new love.
Criss met her parents, her first boyfriend to do so. I guess Hugh didn’t want to meet parents that were young enough to be his children.
And they did this all in a public forum, which can be kind of awkward. Anyone who has ever declared within hours of meeting someone that they’re ‘the one, I’m in love’ before discovering in the next fortnight that they are decidedly not, feels a fool. It’s cute when after ten years of marriage you declare that you knew right away, but you just look silly doing it any time beforehand. Maybe you can do it on your wedding day, maybe, but no sooner.
I’m sad these two couldn’t make it work, they seemed like a couple made in reality show heaven.

Holly Madison, 29, came out of her stupor and realized Criss Angel, 41, wasn’t the douchebag she wanted to spend her entire life with. They’ve called it quits and now Holly has vacated Criss’ Las Vegas pad and moved back in with her parents.
“It was a conflict of schedules. She felt she couldn’t devote 100 percent of her time in Vegas and his career at the expense of her career and her goals.”
“It was a tough decision for her to make and come back to L.A. and pursue her career,” the source told E! News. “She still has very intense feelings for him.”
Wow. Four years ago, Holly was plucked out of obscurity to live in the Playboy Mansion, be Hugh Hefner’s #1 girlfriend and star in the semi-popular reality series The Girls Next Door. She was then given a bump in pay and made Playmate editor for Playboy. Eventually, she broke it off with Hef, the show ended, she quit her job to be with Criss Angel in Vegas, ended that and now she’s back at home with her parents. You could step off a cliff and have less of a dramatic fall than Holly.

Former Girl Next Door Holly Madison has severed the last tie to her former life as Hugh Hefner’s reality show girlfriend. Holly has resigned as Playmate editor for Playboy magazine in order to spend more time with her boyfriend Criss Angel in Las Vegas.
On her MySpace blog, Holly explained that the pay just wasn’t worth the commute and also, she no longer found directing shoots and making mock layouts challenging. This Rubik’s cube, however, is a different story. Match six different colors? Inconceivable!

Hugh Hefner was surprised when that his girlfriend Holly was leaving him for Criss Angel. He said at the time, “I was devastated. I didn’t see it coming at all.” When asked if he still talked to Holly, he claimed they still get to see each other because “she still works at the magazine.”
Well, no longer. Now not only has she left the mansion, but news has broken that Holly has officially left her position as Playmate Editor at the magazine. This leaves her free to move to Las Vegas with Angel, where he is still performing his badly-reviewed “Believe” show.
Holly has responded to the press by writing a blog entitled “Annoying!!!!” outlining her reasons for leaving the magazine. Among them: the commute, and that her job became routine. She also denies that the job was just for the reality show.
So it’s out on the gossip sites that I quit my job at Playboy, which is true. I quit for several reasons: 1. I moved to Vegas and that job doesn’t pay enough to make a commute worthwhile (I never cared about the salary when I got the job-I made my money doing Girls Next Door and I just did the job because I loved it.) 2. After two years of it, I no longer found it challenging. It got to be routine, which was sad for me, since I was initially so passionate about the job and the creative aspects involved. 3. It was awkward. Not that anyone tried to make it awkward or didn’t treat me fairly . . . it just was.
It annoys me when people call the job fake as if it was just a set up for the show. If I had wanted a fake career for Girls Next Door I would have stuck with the jewelry line because that required very little of my time. I spent way more than full time directing shoots, editing, making mock layouts and approving retouching.
So as you can imagine, when one is trying to move on with their life, it isn’t beneficial to spend so much time on something that doesn’t pay much and sadly enough is no longer rewarding to you.
But I loved my job while I had it, appreciate the opportunity and the experience greatly and wish whoever takes my place the best.
Love-Holly
[from Holly's MySpace]
From watching her show The Girls Next Door (which I have to admit I enjoy), I got the impression that she really enjoyed the job. When she wasn’t sighing over the fact that Hef wouldn’t marry her, she was talking about how much she loved the creative aspect of the magazine, and working on photoshoots. It seemed like that’s what she wanted to pursue after the Playboy thing ended. But every job gets old after a while, and after she moved out of the mansion, I can imagine that it would get a little “awkward.” She and Bridget always struck me as responsible, creative girls who just also happened to have bangin’ bodies.
But trading her position at a magazine to be the live-in girlfriend of everyone’s favorite joke? This sounds like a downgrade to me. If the relationship doesn’t work out, she’ll probably go back to her roots. Wonder if she’s retired from doing pictorials, too, or if she’d still get naked for the Playboy cameras if the opportunity arose.

Hugh Hefner and Holly Madison of officially broke up in October, but things were rocky for quite some time. Holly shares that, as we all suspected, reality television break ups are timed for maximum media impact. Which is just the way we like ?em. Holly Madison, Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt are featured in a special edition of Playboy, to say farewell to the former girlfriends.
“I directed and produced the shoot,? Madison told Las Vegas Weekly of her own Girls Next Door cover shoot. “I?m really proud of that… I?m just excited to have shot and produced the shoot myself.”
Madison, who is now dating illusionist Criss Angel, said the photos were taken before she split from Hugh Hefner.
“We actually shot it in July,” she said of her photo session. “It was back before I got conservative.”
Us Weekly
Bridget Marquardt is also a little pissed at Hef too, for his bad manners. Not about these nude photographs, although selling your ex-girlfriends nude photos would be considered at least bad taste in most situations, but rather replacing the pictures of her around the mansion while she was still living there.
The 35-year-old beauty - who, along with Hugh’s ex-girlfriends Holly Madison and Kendra Wilkinson, recently moved out of the lavish house after splitting from the magazine mogul - claims Hefner, 82, cleared images of her away and put up ones of his new lovers, twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon, with frightening speed.
When asked if she was finding the break-up hard to deal with, the Girls Next Door star replied: “The only thing I have remotely hard feelings about is that we weren’t even gone yet and all the pictures throughout the house were changed to the new girlfriends, and I thought, ‘That’s kind of rude’.
“But Hef is so supportive of the show and of me dating, we are closer than ever.”
Despite hinting that she is ready to embark on a new relationship, Marquardt insisted she is still single and is just looking for fun.
She added to Life and Style magazine: “I would say I’m single. I like some people, but I’m fresh out of the Mansion, and we haven’t been allowed to date this whole time, or not legally anyway. I’m not home much, and there are some people I think are cute and nice - no one famous or anything.
Sydney Morning Herald
I think one little phrase sums up this whole thing, ?we haven’t been allowed to date this whole time, or not legally anyway.? Obviously the whole relationship with Hugh Hefner, and the career opportunities that spring from it, is a contract. All of the girls have at some point spoken about life with Hugh, and it wasn’t always flattering.
A few years ago law graduate Izabella St James wrote a book, Bunny Tales, about her time as Hef?s girlfriend. She wrote about catfights between the girlfriends, Hugh Hefner?s strict rules around the house, and that yes, they did have orgies once a week. Hef has Viagra on tap, and doesn?t do much except lie there. The girls aren?t forced to participate, but they are expected to go watch. Don?t pretend you weren?t curious.

19 year-old ex-felon twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon were the first of Hugh Hefner’s replacement girlfriends to step in when the Girls Next Door trio fell apart. While dark-haired January 2009 Playboy cover mode Dasha Astafieva was thought to be joining Hugh Hefner’s team of post-Girls Next Door replacement girlfriends, she has yet to officially join the crew. Ukranian-born Astafieva may have hurt her chances at a spot on the reality dream team by wearing a see-through knit dress with only a pair of thong underwear to a Playboy event and proceeding to remove the thong on the red carpet. Instead of Astafieva, who seems to have pissed off the competition, Hugh has a more typical third girlfriend. 22 year-old San Diego State coed Crystal Harris has announced that she’s officially in the mansion along with the Shannon Twins. From the way Harris words her introduction, she’s in on the decision making process as to who is allowed in the mansion and Astafieva may have stripped her way out of the blond clique:
Hugh Hefner has quietly added a new girlfriend to his posse. And she’s a “good girl.”
“I’m a good girl, for the most part,” new Hef gal pal Crystal Harris writes on her MySpace page.
The 22-year-old lesser-known girlfriend has frequently been photographed by the 82-year-old Playboy founder’s side, but never got a proper public introduction after former girlfriends Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson exited the Playboy Mansion.
Instead, fellow girlfriends - and 19-year-old twins - Karissa and Kristina Shannon nabbed headlines with their arrest records and, well, twindom, in the aftermath of the shake-up.
Harris introduced herself on an E! online message board over the holidays, telling fans that “Hef gave me permission to fill people in on the new updates as a voice from the mansion.”
No other girlfriends are in the mix at this time, she says, but “there are a couple that we have interest in. … As for now, it is just us three.”
Despite her low-key status, Harris already has a fan site, but seems to focus most of her attention on her MySpace page.
“I believe in opening your heart and letting your walls down, it is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all,” Harris says on her site, which is peppered with Disney characters, cute animals, inspirational quotes and plenty of pink.
[From The NY Daily News]
According to the Daily News, Harris hasn’t yet appeared in the print version of Playboy. She was an online Co-Ed of the week under the name “Crystal Carter.” It’s unknown whether the series will continue on E! but you can bet they’re trying to plan for it with this latest girlfriend. You kind of hope there is a follow-up season in the works and that these super young girls aren’t just hanging around a guy old enough to be their great grandfather for the free publicity and perks that go along with “dating” him. They should at least get a show out of it.
I can’t help but wonder if any of these women actually do some kind of, you know, service for Hefner. You would hope they draw the line at heavy petting, but it’s doubtful. Maybe he just likes the company.
