Hugh Hefner, Holly, Kendra and Bridget

PLAYBOY legend Hugh Hefner has been caught telling a big fat fib to one of his girlfriends - by praising the author of an Elle magazine article instead of slamming her as he promised he would.

Kendra Wilkinson was furious when she read the profile of herself, Hefner and his other girlfriends, Bridget Marquardt and Holly Madison, in the June issue of Elle.

Writer Daphne Merkin focused the article on the foursome's E! show, "The Girls Next Door." But while the story and pictures were flattering overall, Wilkinson was hurt that she was described as "giving off a palpable air of anxiety." Merkin also quoted Wilkinson as saying her fake breasts were "my best investment" and said the blonde referred constantly to her "slight acne."

"I'm very insecure right now about my face," Wilkinson told Merkin. "I get scared with Hef looking at me at the mansion and maybe thinking I'm ugly."

Merkin also mentions Wilkinson's "fleeting attention span," her "dazed personality and limited vocabulary" and quotes Hefner describing Wilkinson's "distinctly unintellectual charm" by mockingly saying, "Books? What books?"

Two weeks ago, Wilkinson went on "Larry King Live" with Hefner and the other girlfriends to discuss the E! show and said, "a magazine article that just came out . . . it hurt my feelings and it really, like, crushed my heart. And Hef being such a great guy, he said, 'You know what, Kendra? I was going to write them a letter and say, like, how this is wrong.' [The article] wasn't really nice . . . People like to pick on me."

Hefner then chimed in and said, "I think the writer really didn't understand and didn't really identify with [Wilkinson and Marquardt], you know?"

But that's not what Hefner said in the letter he wrote to Merkin, Page Six has learned.

The letter said: "I just finished reading your article . . . and think it's the best, most perceptive piece on the show to date . . . I hope you get a chance to do a longer story for the New York Times or The New Yorker."

A rep for Hefner didn't return e-mails.

Re: Hugh Hefner, Holly, Kendra and Bridget

I find bridget to be sooo unattractive! she looks soooooo much older than the other girls!

Re: Hugh Hefner, Holly, Kendra and Bridget

Re: Hugh Hefner, Holly, Kendra and Bridget

I think she is older than them - i want to say shes in her early 30s. I think shes the most natural looking! I love them all though, thats my fav show.

Re: Hugh Hefner, Holly, Kendra and Bridget

bridgette is more natural, little heavier but much nicer than the others, kendra has the best body IMO holly is a ditz, but if I remember correctly, apparantly they all get paid to be his girl so they're really not "true" girlfriends

Ha!! She's the only one who I actually think is pretty or maybe just less fake looking

Re: Hugh Hefner, Holly, Kendra and Bridget

They all bore me but if I HAD to choose one it would be Kendra....she is so classless though

Re: Hugh Hefner, Holly, Kendra and Bridget

Bridget def seems like the nicest and the one with the most drive, but standing next to the other 2 she looks like she's in her late 30's.. maybe it's the tanning.. I don't know what it is actually...

Kendra and Holly def look fake, but they are prettier IMO. Kendra cracks me up cause she's so stupid, and I think Holly is a Martha Stewart wannabe.. although I truely believe she's MADLY inlove with that old dude..

Re: Hugh Hefner, Holly, Kendra and Bridget

I like Bridget the best. she has a college degree, more natural looking, not as thin, doesnt seem fake and LOVE that she takes care of her pets the way she does.
She is in her mid 30's. Holly is a space cadet and Kendra is trying too hard.

Re: Hugh Hefner, Holly, Kendra and Bridget

.....and I LOVE that my DH's favorite is Bridget. She's the only "real" one.

Re: Hugh Hefner, Holly, Kendra and Bridget

For the record, they all have fake boobs and dyed hair.. what's more real about Bridget? That she was getting her masters? I mean kudos to her for doing so.. but you think she's paying for it herself? What makes her real? Actually, what makes the other 2 fake? Their implants? I know plenty of people who've had boob jobs and I don't consider them "fake"....

Not trying to cause an uproar.. just curious what is meant by "fake". I find it "fake" the way Kendra and Bridget kiss Hugh, actually I find it repulsive..lol but I think Holly is in it for more than the money.... again, JMO

Re: Hugh Hefner, Holly, Kendra and Bridget

I love this show and I love Bridget. She is much more intelligent than people give her credit for. And, I think she's gorgeous!

Re: Hugh Hefner, Holly, Kendra and Bridget

Re: Hugh Hefner, Holly, Kendra and Bridget

Re: Hugh Hefner, Holly, Kendra and Bridget

I love them all! Kendra is my fav. cause she has a smokin body but she is wacked out. LOL

Re: Hugh Hefner, Holly, Kendra and Bridget

I just think they are all crazy to be with that old decrepit man.

Re: Hugh Hefner, Holly, Kendra and Bridget

Well, the description of kendra seemed pretty accurate. She is paid to be hot, not be a mentor young children.

Re: Hugh Hefner, Holly, Kendra and Bridget

I hate the faces that Bridget makes during all of the photo shoots - where she has her mouth open and poofs up her lips. It drives me mad.

I actually like them all - they are all different. Kendra is still so young and she is the crazy partier of the three. Bridget just seems sweet like she couldn't hurt a fly, and I like Holly.

I like Hef - but what I really don't get is --- Do these girls really sleep with him?

I hope not, not even all the money in the world would make me sleep with him

Re: Hugh Hefner, Holly, Kendra and Bridget

Bridget is my least liked. She is way too happy all the time. It is too fake.
