I know it seems like “Knocked Up C-Listers” Day around here, but this news made me really happy. Hugh Hefner’s former girlfriend and former ‘Girl Next Door’ Holly Madison is pregnant! I always liked Holly the best out of all of the ‘Girls Next Door’. Go ahead and yell at me for even caring enough to have a “favorite”, but there it is. Holly was the “smart one,” the one that Hef should have married when he had the chance. Since leaving the Mansion, Holly has been in Las Vegas, working her own burlesque show, and she’s been quietly dating a “party promoter” named Pasquale Rotella. And now they’re pregnant!
Holly Madison is going to be a mom! The former Girls Next Door star and Playboy Playmate tells the new Us Weekly, out now, that she is expecting her first child with her boyfriend of nine months, party promoter Pasquale Rotella, 38.
“I’ve always wanted to be a mom,” Madison, 33, tells Us. “But I thought it would take longer!”
So far, the thrilled mom-to-be, who is now 12 weeks along, is feeling good in her pregnancy.
“I’ve been lucky! No morning sickness, but I do get a little nauseous,” the star of Las Vegas burlesque revue, Peepshow, says. “It happens before my show, so I keep ginger ale backstage.”
Is it just me or did Holly stop lying about her age? I seem to remember something about Holly insisting that she was something like 25 or 26 just a few years ago. Now she’s like, “Screw it, I’m 33 years old. I’ll stop lying.” Anyway, congrats to Holly. I’m glad she found someone closer in age, and someone who wants the same things (pregnancy, maybe a wedding too).
Some photos of Holly’s recent reunion with Hef:

I agree with you Kaiser, Hef was a fool to let her leave.
i still don’t get it, why he let her go? she was in love with him and i doubt he didn’t feel it the same way. they were such a cute couple.
Holly was my favorite, too. She actually seemed to care, and put a TON of effort into being a perfect match for Hef. This whole Crystal fiasco would not have been an issue if he had ever just married Holly..
I don’t get it either, except for her desire to have a baby. I think she was pushing and he didn’t want to.
Holly was my favourite too! She seems like she might be a genuinely nice person, and I think she actually cared about Hef a lot… I’m so happy she’s pregnant!
I used to watch The Girls Next Door and I thought that Holly did sincerely care about Hef.
LOL!!! Love the reunion pics!!
LMFAO!! Me too!! Hef looks like he has had some botox or something, I just can’t put my finger on it!!! : P
LOL!
Kaiser you crack us up 🙂
Yeah, I’m happy for her too. She always wanted to have kids and now she only has to change the baby’s diaper and not Hef’s.
LOL.
I don’t know her nor remember seeing her on tv, but she would look much better as a brunette.
Best wishes for her pregnancy, she looks very sweet.
Ha! Don’t really care about her, but it cracked me up that she wasn’t the one holding the iguana…she probably noticed the blood dripping down his hand and arm. LOL!!
I didn’t notice it either!
Guys, wasn’t she adopting too? I vaguely recall that headline. If so, congrat 2X.
i liked Holly…congrats to her.
hef didnt dump her, according to an old interview he did.
he said holly left him because she wanted kids and he wasnt interested in having any more.
he called her the love of his life and said he was devastated about their breakup.
She looks so uncomfortable posing next to Hef in those last pictures, defenitely has a regretful look in her eyes that the camera captured.
33? That’s 92 in Hef years😱
LOL!
I like the Girls Next Door. Holly seemed really sweet and to care about that old man the way she did…couldn’t be me. I wonder what Bridget is up to?
She’s lucky that Hef “let her get away”. Now she can have a real life instead of living in that foolish old man’s fantasy land.
^+1000. Holly jacked her face, got bolt-ons and spent a lot of time doing essentially soft porn for that loser. She should have a chance at a real life.
Holly was likeable, but Bridgette was the smart one.
Yay for her! All she ever wanted was a baby. I ealways thought that was the main reason that she left Hef.
Is it just me or does her new bf look like a young George Clooney??
pregnancy was bound to happen once she was with someone who wasn’t emitting sawdust.
I wonder if her boyfriend ever thinks “I’m banging the girl who use to bang Heff”
Most definatley! Old man pole!
I am not a prude, but I often wonder about men who are proud of their wives or girlfriends posing naked. Do they really like some guy pleasuring himself to her photo?
I cant stand her, she was hosting a party at a club i was at once and she was soooo nasty and rude to her fans. she was texting the whole time. looked ugly as freak too
I liked all of them except Crystal and the skank twins. I do vaguely remember a headline around 3 months before she split with Hef that they had tried unsuccessfully with IVF.
But yay – she is gotten what she wanted and as long as everyone in the mix is happy then thats good. Although I am wondering of there will be a new E series in the works too?
I don’t understand the appeal. Like the rest of them, she basically slept with a rich, repulsive old man. Her major “talent” is taking off her clothes. And she would look better with her natural hair color.
Um, who would be her “fan?” Her greatest claim to fame is being a c*m bucket for a cadaver.
Well you’re just a little ray of sunshine aren’t you?
Hahaha, yes! Best ever!
I didn’t want to like the show but my late brother and sister got me hooked. That Holly was absolutely, genuinely head over heels for Hefner. You could tell she ached for the “dream” with him and had to pr up with alot of things that hurt her, like the many women, in order to be with him. She deserves that happiness.
She was the “smart” one? Dear god.
If she is pregnant, she should not be touching iguanas! So happy for Holly. I always liked her the most.
I’m really happy for her! But I think it’s too early to get knocked up after 5-6 months.
I agree with *everything* you said Isa.
Congrats to her, it’s something that she has always wanted. Hope her relationship lasts as well.
That is great news, I’m happy finally gets to have a baby. I used love The Girls Next Door, they are all sweet ladies.
Wait a minute. Just saying, everybody gives these girls a pass when they were paid weekly to have sex with Hef, yet KimK (who I hate) is villified for making a sex tape?
I’m confused. He paid them an ‘allowance’ to have group sex with him and we are going to give this one an atta girl?
I can’t.
@tiff, kendra said something to the effect of..,they waited in line to take a 5 minute ride on the old man. They all had to be slathered in baby oil and he “finished” with Holly (who he only did anal with). Blergh. I guess that was his fool proof pregnancy method o _O
I know *shudder*. Then girls would start in on each other.
I’m happy she’s in a decent relationship, but I still think they girls were being paid for sex and doing it for the fame. Maybe Holly loved him, but the others?
Maybe I’m just jaded.
Yes. I personally give them a pass. If you won’t, that’s ok too. To me they seemed likeable and they made no excuses for what they were doing, but realized they wouldn’t appeal to everyone. And they were ok with it and didn’t pull incredibly fake stunts (won’t say there were none at all) to pull in viewers. And they werent everywhere in your face in the tabloids every week front page if at all so I actually enjoyed it when I stumbled onto a show. Self contained escapism that didn’t pretend to be something it wasn’t. And I feel cleaner admitting publicly that I like the show even considering the related content…..although I do like Khloe. As long as she isn’t in a show with Kim. That’s automatic change channel.
This is cool! I’m happy for her! And we actually caught her show when we were in Vegas a couple of weeks ago!
She was wearing a corset (Yikes) and she was moving around slowly, kind of like just gliding across the stage! Now I know why! lol
I remember a headline that she was adopting not too long ago. Wonder if she will continue with that process or if she will let it go now that she has her own.
I never watch E! shows but I’m just glad to see a story that is not about that icky Prince Harry. I’m sooo over him. Off to read about LiLo.
Oh and congrats Holly! If you can judge someone by her looks she looks like a sweet woman.
I kept scrolling down to see pictures of her and Hef and then burst out laughing. Thanks! I needed that! 😀
Awwwwwww!!! Finally! much love to her!
I agree Holly was always my favorite…
Congratulations!
Congratulations, Holly! I have a feeling you will be a terrific mother. Lucky kid.
I saw her before plastic surgery pictures….MY GOD!!! That plastic surgeon worked some miracles. Proof that anyone can be made pretty. She got a full workup. Nose, eyebrows, chin, cheekbones…..he works! Huge let her walk away because he’s got *&%&^%$ lined up outside his door. She isn’t the only plastic doll out there.
Good for her. I’ve always found these cosmetic surgery enhanced b’s totally lose it when they are forced to be in the presence of true, natural beauty. They can’t hide their insecurities. I’ve seen full blown panic attacks occur. One time an ambulance had to be called. Other times, just breaking down in tears for apparently no reason. Usually they try to ostracize the offending beauty with peer pressure first.
good for her. she really loved hef and tolerated his bullshit, and he took her for granted for YEARS until she said enough to living in a mausoleum with a corpse.
Any young girl who sleeps with heft his sold herself for money in my book but i’m glad she’s happy.
That white hair has got to go, Holly!
Congratulations, Holly!
