Hugh Hefner: "I Almost Swallowed A Sex Toy"

Hugh Hefner gives "Extra" viewers a private tour of the famed Playboy Mansion and reveals his favorite room saying, "No question - the bedroom. I do my best work in the bedroom."

Hefner admits to Lopez that he was heartbroken over his split with longtime girlfriend, Holly Madison saying, "I was blindsided by the breakup...But Holly was looking for something more that I couldn't give her. She was looking for marriage and children." But Hefner wasn't lonely for long. He adds, "Within two weeks, a pair of twins arrived and turned out they were interested in being my girlfriends...Several girlfriends are easier to handle than one wife."

Hefner's new autobiography, Mr. Playboy, takes an inside look at his life filled with luxury, women and sex. When asked about the book's most shocking revelation, Hefner responds, "Probably an incident that occurred back in the late seventies where I almost swallowed a sex toy."

Carmen Electra graces Playboy's 55th anniversary issue. As for other celebrities Hefner would like to pose for Playboy, he says, "Either Angelina Jolie or Scarlett Johansson," he says. Lopez brought along Jennifer Aniston's nearly nude GQ magazine cover to show Hefner who comments, "This looks like the cover of Playboy. I'm much impressed by Jennifer. Is it just me or is Jennifer Aniston getting hotter?...Never seen her in this light before."

As for the possibility of Robert Downy Jr. playing Hefner in a film, Hefner declares, "He's a very good actor. Would be natural."

Anyone remember the Hefner roast from awhile back? The late, great Alan King said, "This man has smelled more beaver than a furrier." Classic.

[caremore]

uh......en­ough said. them's dying, reflective words from a very shallow, man who has contributed what?????? to society??????

[getoffmedz]

more than y'all - jealous?

He published some of the best journalists in the country.

And he helped lead the country out of the 1950s, which was a very paranoid decade that was filled with all kinds of hate and discrimination and sexual repression.

Maybe people nowadays don't appreciate his achievements because we take all these changes for granted.

And journalism is dying and there's a whole generation out there that will grow up without great journalism and without great writers.

But he did contribute to society and that's why educated, politically moderate, feminist Baby Boomer homemakers and writers such as myself will stand up and defend the man.

And oh yes -- achievement is a sexy thing. That's why women in Hollywood still find him sexy at his advanced age.

I'd love to send a few hours picking his brain. So should anyone who fancies herself or himself a writer.

Once upon a time he did meaningful things.
He chose to become a caricature of .... I'm not sure what. The plasticized enhanced bleached women he surrounds himself with now may or may not be "of Hollywood" or may or may not find him "sexy", and from the way he presents them, do not appear to be big on literature or journalism.
He should have founded and be chief editor of Mother Jones or somesuch..­.or started a journalism school based on his once embraced principles if he expected to be revered and remembered that way.
He seems perfectly happy to be seen as a guy who does his best work in the bedroom (his quote).
If he is so obviously willing to settle for so much less, who are we to deny him?
After all, he's always done it his way and demanded to be allowed the freedom to do so.

Some of what you say is true but there is NOTHING sexy about this guy. He's a pig.

I looked up these facts, their have been some amazing contributors to Playboy. Here are a list of writers who either got their "start" at Playboy or contributed to the mag: Kurt Vonnegut, Ian Fleming, Joyce Carol Oates, Arthur C Clarke, Norman Mailer, Tom Clancy and Margaret Atwood, Ray Bradbury, Ursula K. Le Guin, Norman Spinrad, Damon Knight, J.G. Ballard, Frederick Pohl, Arthur C. Clarke, Larry Niven, Harlan Ellison, Philip K. Dick, Robert Silverberg, Joe Haldeman. The novel Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, was also serialized in the March, April, and May 1954 issues of Playboy magazine (wikipedia fact). In 9/1962, young writer Alex Haley (Roots) interviewed jazz musician Miles Davis for the first segment of Playboy's interview section.
Interviewed (a short list): Jimmy Carter, John Lennon, Yasser Arafat, Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali), Fidel Castro, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.
Artists: Remember the famous Vargas girls, Andy Warhol Helmut Newton, and Salvador Dali worked with Hefner producing artwork for Playboy for many years. Other famous photographers: Herb Ritts, Arny Freytag, Suze Randall, Stephen Wayda, Sam Wu, R Scott Hooper, Mario Casilli, and Bunny Yeager.
I understand why many women feel the way they do but the girls are largely air brushed fantasy. I applauded the Dove ads as my photography captures real beauty without airbrushing but that my art and Playboy is Hef's vision and his art.

[Opt1musPr1me]

I bet thats not all he almost swallowed.

[Quotidien]

I hope he washed it first.

[tcuoohjohn]

Take away Hefner's money and what do you have?...A seedy old man in pajamas making off color remarks.

[dreadylocks]

that's exactly why being rich is better. you're just jealous.

[RobertAndropolis]

Waaaay tmi.

[MajorKong]

Um, thanks for sharing Hef.

[VOTER]

"Almost"

Not good enough!

[Bashley]

Wow Hef almost swallowed a s*x toy, and I almost threw up my breakfast.­...

[DS3M]

Disgustipating

[FreakPowerGator]

Downey Jr as Hef would be win of epic proportions. Hell, he nailed the "filthy rich playboy" role as Tony Stark.

[avraamjack]

All the women so freaked out about Hef should start their own magazine and call it PureBitch.

[Tyrione]

Classic post. I completely agree.

[avraamjack]

Thanks!

[Horus]

Favorited!

[avraamjack]

[patianneb]

Freaked over whats left of Hef? What a hoot!

[avraamjack]

.
I wonder if the women will be so vehement 30 years from now when when Madonna has a couple of twin twenty year old boyfriends.

[Clare53]

Ewwwwwwww. Gross, just gross.

[Snowspot]

That picture of Hugh made me think of one word...
