Holly Madison may no longer be the girl next door but she’s definitely adjusting to life in Sin City.
As the star of Peep Show, Hef’s former girlfriend tells RadarOnline.com exclusively that she’s happy in her new home. “It’s so much fun. Vegas has the feeling of a small town and it’s not spread out like LA,” she told RadarOnline.com. “We went canoeing with some of the cast last week. I love to explore and try new things.”
Madison’s been doing Peep Show for about two months. Before that, she pinch hit for Jewel on Dancing with the Stars after the singer was injured during rehearsals. Show producers are doing damage control this season—literally—changing the rules to limit rehearsals and hopefully the likelihood of injuries.
“I think it’s good,” Madison said of the new rules. “It’s been getting a little too intense. This last season I was on, the professional dancers told me, ‘it’s week 2 and it feels like week 6.’ The pressure was so high and everyone was getting injured. It’s just nuts, so I think it’s just nice to bring it down a notch and just focus more on the personalities. The whole show is supposed to be about having fun anyway, I mean who cares about the mirror ball trophy?”
Holly says she plans to reunite with her former Girls Next Door roomies, Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt, at Kendra’s baby shower next month. “I’ve put together a basket of Vegas-themed baby stuff,” she said. “I’ve already found an Elvis onesie and I’ve got all this Planet Hollywood baby stuff.”
When asked what she thinks of the new Girls Next Door, which premieres in October, Madison says, “I think it will be interesting how they work with the new girls’ personalities. I’m in about half of the episodes and I know they plan to tape Kendra’s baby shower for one of the episodes. I don’t really know the new girls that well. I know the twins, but that’s really it. So I don’t know how it will work out.”

Playboy cover girl Holly Madison stars as Hugh Hefner’s No. 1 girl in E!’s The Girls Next Door, which begins a new season in October. After kicking up her heels on last season’s Dancing with the Stars, she now entertains crowds in Las Vegas. She appears in PEEPSHOW at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino through Sept. 21, though her contract may be extended. She shares her travel highlights and tips with USA Today.
Q: Where have you been recently that you liked or were surprised by?
A: I really liked Cabo. I went there with a boyfriend so it wasn’t really my first choice, not that I wasn’t excited to go. The climate reminded me of the south of France and the beaches of a less-crowded south of France. I loved the cave, going into town and going to the clubs. We swam with dolphins. We rode dune buggies. It was just a blast.
Q: What’s the best place you’ve ever visited?
A: Paris. It’s so beautiful and has so much culture to offer. There’s so much to explore. I love the museums. I love going to the catacombs underneath the city where all of the bones are. I even love the famous cemetery Père Lachaise. I love the feel of that place. It’s eerie but beautiful at the same time. Montmartre is so cute. And the outskirts, I love too, including Versailles.
Q: What’s the most surprising/unexpected place you’ve ever visited?
A: Venice. I kind of knew what to expect but it made more of an impact on me. It’s so cool. It reminds me of something of a fantasy. It’s like from another world or another planet. You’re in a water city. Until you’re there you don’t quite realize what an adventure it is or what a unique city it is. We had gone to the Hotel Danieli and the lobby is so beautiful that you go back in time.
Q: What’s your favorite vacation spot?
A: I really love Disney parks. I grew up vacationing at Disneyland all the time. I’ve been to Disneyland Paris. I love Disney World in Florida. My favorite hotel, even though I’ve stayed in some of the nicest hotels in the world, is still the Grand Floridian at Disney World. I love staying on the top floor. You can sneak down one floor and they have a breakfast buffet and buffets at night. I love the open atrium area in the middle. There’s always somebody playing the piano in the evening. I feel like a little kid and my parents are having a party and I’m eavesdropping. It’s just a fun atmosphere. I’m obsessed with the Disney parks. I’m an expert on them. At Disney World there’s something for everybody: big thrill rides, things for kids, educational things. At Epcot, I love the whole around-the-world section. It’s so fun.
Q: Can you offer an insider tip or recommendation for your favorite vacation place?
A: My favorite travel tip is just to go in the off season and some of the more unorthodox times. For example, there’s one hotel I really love in Paris. One of the rooms doubles in price if you go in June from what the price is in May. It’s totally crazy. And then Disneyland, traditionally, if you go the week before Christmas you can go on all of the rides in such a fast amount of time, whereas if you go the week after Christmas through New Year’s Day it’s so packed you can’t even move. I think researching when you can get the best deal and when it’s the least crowded is really worth it.

E!’s expectant stars Kendra Wilkinson and Kourtney Kardashian are showing off their bumps together on the latest cover of Us Weekly.
Only E! News was behind the scenes of their cover shoot, where the moms-to-be grubbed on Burger King and dished about their sex drives, breast-feeding and birthing.
“I’ve been hornier!” Kendra told the mag of her sex life with hubby Hank Baskett at their shoot. “We’ll be off-roading, and we’ll go at it in the bushes somewhere! Or we’ll be driving, and he’ll pull over. Quickies are the best! If he lasts any more than a couple of minutes, I’m like, I’m done!”
Both of the former party girls say their men will be in the delivery room when the big moment happens, but they’re not sure if they’ll watch…
“At first he said, ‘I’ll be there next to you but won’t watch.’ But now he says, ‘I want to see the crowning moment.’ I’m like, ‘Will you have sex with me after seeing this?’ ” Kendra told Us.
In case you’re wondering, both ladies hope to deliver their babies naturally and want to breast-feed, despite their implants.
Once the baby is here, Kendra says she’ll have no qualms about taking her little one to visit the Playboy Mansion.
“Hef is a huge part of my life, and I don’t care about any other whore there,” she told the mag in her typical candid manner. “I care about Hef. He’s a good dad, a great person, and I want my child to be around him a little bit.”

They’ve only been living together for a week, but Bridget Marquardt and her director-boyfriend, Nick Carpenter, are already bickering.
“We usually have fun together, but going through all these boxes has been a little bit stressful,” the E! reality star, 35, told us at last night’s Nylon magazine party at Skybar in West Hollywood. “I told Nick that he has to help me get rid of things, but every time he tells me to throw something away, I get all pissed at him.”
Especially when it comes to her Hello Kitty collection…
“Nick made me give away my Hello Kitty TV, my Hello Kitty microwave and my Hello Kitty toaster,” she groaned. “I got to keep the Hello Kitty cordless phone.”
And then there’s all that Playboy memorabilia. “I have Playboy pillows, sheets, towels, barware,” Bridget said. “[With] a lot of clothes, I’m like, ‘This shirt’s so cute, but do I really want to wear that now?’ There are some that have special meaning and some that are just Playboy clothes.”
Bridget, who says she’s already donated some of her excess belongings to Goodwill, snagged a $1.7 million five-bedroom Sherman Oaks, Calif., pad for her and her beau.
Guess it really paid to be a gal next door!

Actress and Playboy model Bridget Marquardt has become a first-time home buyer with the purchase of a contemporary Mediterranean in Sherman Oaks for $1,725,000.
She had been traveling for her “Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches” TV show, which launched in March on the Travel Channel, while intermittently house hunting for about a year.
“I had a big list of all the things I wanted,” she said, and “I wasn’t ready to settle.” Her patience paid off. The new 5,922-square-foot home “literally had everything plus,” she said.
High among her priorities was enough room to store all the costumes and clothes for her work on the show “The Girls Next Door” and the parties she attended during her seven years in residence at the Playboy mansion. “I need a lot of closet space, and the older homes I looked at didn’t seem to have that.”
Although the master of the five-bedroom, 4 1/2 -bathroom house has what Marquardt described as an “enormous” closet, she also is making one of the bedrooms into a wardrobe. Other items on her must-have list: a fireplace in the master bedroom and a swimming pool. She plans to add a fire pit, a rock wall and a water slide to create a grotto-style pool.
But no doubt the most personalized touch she’ll be making to the two-story home is the installation of swing trapeze and a lyra, or aerial hoop, in the soaring main entry hall.
“Trapeze is a great workout. It got me in the best shape in my life,” said Marquardt, who trains at Hollywood Aerial Arts in Inglewood. The equipment, she said, will be “old school circus — vintage-style — with velvet on the ropes and shiny silver balls on the ends.” The apparatus can be tied off along the ceiling should she care to move it out of center stage. Marquardt considered homes near the beach and in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles but found more for her money in Sherman Oaks. “I could get a much bigger house with a pool,” she said. “I love the location.”
She’ll be sharing the home with her boyfriend, Nicholas Carpenter, who directed “The Telling” (2009), a horror film anthology, and has been a music video director. He worked as a set production assistant on television shows including “Ghost Whisperer” (2005) and “My Name Is Earl” (2005), as well as the movie “Thank You for Smoking” (2005). His father, Scott Carpenter, was one of the original Mercury astronauts.
Despite having a dad who once defied gravity, Marquardt said Carpenter is “worried I will fall off the trapeze.”
When she’s not enjoying the home and its private backyard as her personal retreat, Marquardt said she plans to throw theme parties, barbecue and have friends and family over to watch football games on Sundays.
Marquardt, 35, co-stars in the E! cable network series “Girls Next Door” (2005-present) as one of publisher Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends. The show will start its sixth season in October. She appeared in the February issue of Playboy.
Lisa Sockolov of Coldwell Banker, Beverly Hills, represented Marquardt in her purchase.
