Biography of Holly Madison
 Holly Madison Cullen (born December 23, 1979) is an American model and television
personality, best known for appearing as Hugh Hefner's number one girlfriend with
Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson on the reality TV series The Girls Next
Door. Although not a Playboy Playmate, she has appeared in nude pictorials with
her Girls Next Door costars and fellow Hefner girlfriends Bridget Marquardt and
Kendra Wilkinson. Her most recent work was as a contestant on the eighth season
of Dancing with the Stars.
In 2003, Madison shot a pictorial for Cyber Girl of the Week, a feature of the
Playboy website. She also appeared on the cover and inside of the November
2005 issue of Playboy magazine, along with Marquardt and Wilkinson as part
of a special pictorial promoting The Girls Next Door. The girls were featured
again on the covers of the September
2006 and the March
2008 issues of Playboy.
In season three of the show during the episode "My Bare Lady," Madison
stated that she wants to have a career producing Playboy spreads. During seasons
three and four, Holly has been shown working at the Playboy studios as an intern
and later a junior photo editor. She also helped design and put together The
Girls Next Door 2008 calendar.
In February 2009 she quit working for the company all together due to the split
from Hefner making her position "awkward".
A self-described animal lover, Madison started writing articles about pets
in 2006 for a friend's quarterly magazine, The Coolest Little Pet Magazine.
She describes herself as "mistress of the Mansion pooches". In April
2007, Madison was featured nude in a PETA ad, with the tagline "I'd rather
go naked than wear fur".
In 2009, she attempted a Guinness World Record rallying women from all over
Las Vegas to hold the World's "largest bikini parade ever", winning
the title.
Madison is currently starring in topless burlesque show Peepshow at Planet
Hollywood in Las Vegas. She was brought in to replace Kelly Monaco after Monaco's
three month contract was up.
In the past, Madison has stated that she wanted to marry Hefner and have his children.
During an interview at the Playmate of the Year luncheon in May 2008, Hefner stated,
"I love Holly very much and I think we’re going to be together the
rest of my life, but marriage isn’t part of my puzzle. It’s not a
personal thing; I just haven’t had much luck with marriages."
On October 7, 2008, Madison announced in a video posted on TMZ.com that her
relationship with Hefner had ended, but that she, Bridget Marquardt, and Kendra
Wilkinson are "still filming stuff together." Hugh Hefner confirmed
the breakup stating that, "If Holly says it's over, I guess it's over."
Hefner also confirmed that all three girls are committed to a sixth season of
The Girls Next Door, and that he plans to find new live-in girlfriends. Full name: Holly Madison
