Holly Madison Talks Hefner Break Up, Calls Hef "High Maintenance"

Holly Madison, Hugh Hefner's girlfriend of seven years, came only to "Extra's" special correspondent Alison Waite to talk about her heartbreaking split from the Playboy mogul. "I'm just kind of sad about my breakup with Hef. I wish he would've seen it coming," Madison admitted.

Madison continued, "Everybody was surprised when it happened because even though I was unhappy for a long time, the split happened suddenly...The signs were there. I was depressed for awhile."

Madison revealed one of the reasons for the break-up saying, "I want to be with somebody I can have more of a future with eventually. Hef and I can't get married and have kids...so it was fun while it lasted but it wasn't right for my old age. I got too old for Hef."

Madison has "been staying in the guest room. Hef was kind enough not to kick me out of the house....but my condo should be finished [soon]..."

As for her current relationship with Hefner, Madison explained, "I still work for him. We're still best friends. I still call and check in on him almost everyday."

When Waite asked about Hefners's new girlfriends, Karissa and Kristina Shannon, Madison declared, "He does not waste any time but I'm happy for him. I want him to be busy and happy and having fun."

Madison admitted, "It might be refreshing to date someone who is not high maintenance. Sorry, Hef, you know you're high maintenance. I love you but you know you're high maintenance."

PLUS - Over the weekend, Waite caught up with Madison who was hand in hand with rumored new love, Criss Angel, at his new Cirque Du Soleil show, Believe, in Las Vegas. So, are Madison and Angel officially a couple? Angel exclaimed, "You want the exclusive? We're good friends and we love spending time with each other." Waite responded, "I hope you can get some benefits as far as being friends" Angel said, "Friends with benefits. Yeah!"

Look at the ultimate hyppocrisie of the seculars. Hefner is basically
enjoying his polygamie, while we seem to have
problems with polygamie in this town.. Tse Tse , indeed with no
moral compas anything goes. As for the low life, who was a nobody
she should have been more appreciative to have some food on the table
and a roof over her head instead of playing madame de Bovary.

[i can see russia]

Well, elghoul, my bet is that Holly Madison is a better speller than you! Perhaps you shouldn't be so quick to judge.

[marignymitch]

That's 'Hollie' in elghoulland.

[rini]

Ok, now,

Who died or suffered??

No harm no foul and no hypocrisy.. yeah, that's how you spell it.

There' s no big daddy in the sky. Take responsibility for life on earth yourself. Morality is human beings taking care of each other.

No blogs from ESOL students please!

people stay in relationships for one reason, because they get something out of it. companionship, security, financial, sex, whatever, we stay because we get something. the three blonde bimbos got exposure, free ride, who knows what else. for her to say, she wanted kids, and hef didn't,,,,,,,,that was a crock. hef got his ego and probably a few other things stroked, companionship, and got to play the role of 60's mr. playboy. this was a business arrangement plain and simple. each girl had a night to 'work', while the other two took the night off. anyone who thinks this was 'love' , well not my definition, but who am i. the famous parties at the mansion, were pretty much, wealthy/famous males, looking to hook up with one of the playmates, and the girls looking to land her sugar daddy.

You must be describing HELL.

I believe in LOVE. I have my grandparents and my Mom and Dad to prove it. Grand taking Grannie to the dance and on Thursdays and church on Saturdays, they have picnic just the two of them. 56 years.

Dad always stop for hot cinnamon rolls and flowers even if he just pick it up on the road for my Mom. He's home by 6:00 PM. Mom's rule. 32 years, and 6 children later.

I can see Love, feel Love.

hmmm, interesting comments, especially, 'i never understood why men treat women like property', maybe a better way to phrase it might have been, i never understand how some women ALLOW themselves to be treated like property. nothing like taking responsibility.

[strangerinthenight]

I never understood why some men treat women like a property, and more so, why would she want to be treated that way. Molly got too old for Hefner. Geezzzzzzzz Molly, have you no decency to be treated that way ? It's time for your keeper to discard you. You got too old and used up.

Read my post again - "AND MORE SO, WHY WOULD SHE WANT TO BE TREATED THAT WAY !

[BigCheese]

Because she is a goldigging bimbo. Duh!

[Joye]

why isn't Holly honest (from what I have read in the past). Hugh doesn't want to have any more kids and Holly does. What does she mean by calling him 'high maintenance.' HE HAS ALL THAT MONEY; HE CAN BE HIGH MAINTENANCE IF HE WANTS TO BE!!!! I wonder when Kendra and Bridget are leaving? I don't think Hef made a good decision in his new playmates. They seem like ones who need some medication for their anger issues. Maybe they are bi polar.. I would not want to be around anyone with anger issues..

[txgal44]

Heff's old, rich and old. Of course he's high maintenance.

[Nikola Tesla]

Definitely the Pot calling the Kettle black.

[DavidATolucaLake]

A geriatric gold digger calling Hefner high maintenance?!?! There is no shame.

Holly never would have been with Hef without his large bank account.

Right, Holly is such a down to earth, simple girl. Please.

[robotfog]

are the girls hired to care for him? What is their purpose? How come he never has a guy help out? I don't understand these relationships

[MovingtoNorway]

How many days in a row do expect one of them to change diapers?

[Nikola Tesla]

Most posters here are not worthy to change Hugh.

[43P04T34]

High Maintenance.

She's a VERY kind girl for putting it that way.

For the life of me I can't figure out what in hell Hefner is good for.

[marignymitch]

Money. No rent required.

[Nikola Tesla]

Personally started the sexual revolution that changed THE ENTIRE WORLD and freed mankind FOREVER!

[BigCheese]

"For the life of me I can't figure out what in hell Hefner is good for."

How about free room & board, TV & modeling gigs, tons of publicity, networking, gifts, money, etc.

[string-em-up]

Poor Hef...string-em-up

[TurtleGuy]

The whole lot from that sorry excuse for a show, are bigger frauds than a certain alaskan governor.

If she honestly thought of him as a boyfriend, she's dumber than a bag of hammers.

[MichB1]

Huffpost folks: Do news outlets think that by paying attention to this man, they'll get invited to some really good parties or something?

If male editors post this stuff, do you realize you don't want to be with a women dull enough to think this is OK?

For women editors, do you understand how sick it is that this is now accepted as normal?

[QueenOfViolets]

HuffPo would be lucky to have editors as talented and successful as Hefner. He changed American publishing forever.

[Snwbnny9]

LOL no he didn't
His daughter did. When she took over the company was nearly bankrupt.

[Wilsonfisk89]

True that.

[marymansour]

Now this one is truly 'non-news'. Let the viagra fall where it may.

[shodan2020]

High maintenence? He has two other girls taking care of him as well... how high maintenence can an old guy like Hef be?

[pipp]

Ask his pharmacist.

[SpaceLuvr]

You know some of these old men want everything done for them. Probably needed sponge baths and things every day.. yuck. lol.

[Nikola Tesla]

He's picky about what he eats.

BFD.
