The World Of Playboy

Hef Sightings, Mansion Frolics and Nightlife Notes

Swing Shift

The night before they made a sold-out appearance at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, Grammy-winning vocal jazz quartet the Manhattan Transfer (below) entertained an intimate gathering of Hef's friends at the Playboy Mansion.

What Up, Playa?

Resident Mansion tomboy and backcourt beauty Kendra Wilkinson (above), a.k.a. Hannibal of the Hardwood, helped coach celebrity ballers including Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg for Mark Wahlberg's charity throwdown after a Clippers game at L.A.'s Staples Center.

Golden Globes Night at the Mansion

There are parties, and then there are afterparties. Among the celebrities who kept the Golden Globes glowing at Hef's exclusive après-show event at the Mansion were a trio of stars from the NBC comedy Four Kings--Shane McRae, Todd Grinnell and Seth Green (below)--as well as NFL quarterback Jeff Garcia and his girlfriend, our own PMOY 2004 Carmella DeCesare (bottom right).

Live from the Bunny Ball

Talk show maverick Tom Leykis hosted the latest semiannual installment of his Bunny Ball, broadcasting a special edition of his radio show from the Mansion, featuring an interview with Hef and his girls (above).

The Second-Happiest Place on Earth

A lot of people would be thrilled to celebrate their birthday at the Playboy Mansion, but Hef took main squeeze Holly Madison to Disneyland (left) for the day to double-date with another well-known couple.
