The American Country Music Awards certainly brought a lot of extra buzz to Las Vegas over the weekend, but what really had temperatures soaring was Hugh Hefner’s 83rd Birthday at the Palms Resort & Casino. The festivities kicked off Saturday afternoon with a Palms Place pool party, hosted by (wait for it) Hef’s former flame, Holly Madison.
“I haven’t seen him since I left the mansion,” Madison told Tarts before his arrival. “And it is my first time filming “Girls Next Door” as a single lady so that’s exciting.”
But Madison wasn’t the only ex girlfriend who came to celebrate the special day, surprisingly Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt also strutted in (with their new lovers) to help Hef and his three new leading ladies Crystal Harris, Karissa Shannon & Kristina Shannon spice up Sin City and the birthday boy couldn’t have been more beside himself.
“As you can tell I am very, very happy. To celebrate my birthday with new girlfriends and former girlfriends is perfect, its wonderful,” he said. “I’ve had a life well-lived with so much satisfaction, I enjoy just looking back.”
(Speaking of which, we couldn’t help but keep a close eye on how the new and the old bonded and while chances are they probably aren’t necessarily BFFs, things appeared to be very civil and no claws came out!)
However when we asked what Madison missed most about mansion life her response was a love affair of a different kind.
“The zoo, the mansion has a fantastic zoo with birds and monkeys — I used to work in the zoo a lot and was really close to the zoo staff,” she said. “I fancied myself as an amateur zoologist.”
But Hef and the crazy creatures aren’t the only things Miss Madison has moved away from, she also promised Pop Tarts that her days of baring that bangin’ body are over … Sorry guys!
“I’m never getting naked again,” she vowed. “I’m over it, I’ve done it so many times. It is time to switch it up.”

Kendra on the other hand hasn’t ruled out posing for Playboy again — however conditions do apply.
“If Hank (Baskett, her fiancé) shoots the spread I will do it again,” Wilkinson told Tarts. “He has actually been practicing his photography skills. I’m a little more conservative nowadays, so I’ll pose for Playboy but only if Hank takes the photographs.”
On the note of posing, Madison happily showed off her simply sensational swimsuit body thanks to DWTS (even though she told us that she was “beaten up” and looked “disgusting with all the bruises”). But it seems even having been thru several seasons of “Girls Next Door” and the grueling ABC dance show, the 29-year-old isn’t ready to escape the reality arena.
“I’m developing my own reality show that I’m producing too, it’s going to be about me and my friends here in Vegas,” Madison added.
The busty blonde later joined fellow former flames Bridget and Kendra to surprise their ex-boyfriend with a custom birthday cake which was provided by Kerry Simon of Simon at Palms Place. In the evening Hef and all the girls had dinner at N9NE steakhouse before hitting up the Playboy Club. The publishing icon then partied in Moon Nightclub until the wee hours where Bridget sang him an ultra-sexy Marilyn Monroe-style rendition of Happy Birthday. Phew, so how does an 83-year-old manage to bunny hop around so much?
“Surrounding myself with beautiful women keeps me young,” Hef assured us with a cheeky smile.
