Russell Brand is dating Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriend. The British comic star has been spotted making late-night visits to the Hollywood home of Playboy Playmate Holly Madison, who split from the Playboy founder last year.

Holly, 29, and Russell, 33, met at a party thrown by rapper Jay-Z in Las Vegas two weeks ago.

Hugh Hefner is desperate for Holly Madison to return to the Playboy mansion. The 83-year-old magazine mogul says he is still in love with the 29-year-old blonde beauty and admits he has never got over their split.

He said: "I'd welcome Holly back with open arms because she is still the love of my life."

Kendra Wilkinson's boyfriend uses her stripper pole. The former Playboy Playmate admits her fiance, American football star Hank Baskett, was initially against her using the raunchy fitness equipment, but is now such a fan he often climbs on it himself.

Kendra explained: "At first when I told him about the stripper pole, he did not know what it was. He was like, 'Are you serious? No, you can't do that.'"

Lindsay Lohan is set to star in a Las Vegas strip show. The "Mean Girls" actress attended the grand opening of burlesque production "Peepshow" - starring Mel B - and met the topless show's director Jerry Mitchell on Saturday.

It is believed Lindsay is keen to take over from Mel's co-star Kelly Monaco in a bid to resurrect her fading acting career.

Ex-Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson has found God. The former girlfriend of adult publishing magnate Hugh Hefner has reportedly turned to Christianity since moving out of the Playboy mansion to live with her fiance, American footballer Hank Baskett.

Playboy model Brittany Ginger - who will be Kendra's bridesmaid at her wedding on June 27 - said: "Hank makes her pray before meals now. His family is so religious and he really calmed her down a lot, he's good for her."
