When the populace calls a man to be a ladies’ man, often he might also happen to be referred to with a term called Playboy. While there have been several ladies’ men in the past, the term is something that the world bestowed upon the Late Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy Enterprises, as making this crop of men popular.

The Playboy empire is a subject of extreme controversy, especially in recent years, following the release of a scathing documentary titled Secrets of Playboy. Many critics have labeled founder and figurehead Hugh Hefner, who passed away in 2017, as an alleged perpetrator of sexual abuse and exploitation. Additionally, several of Hefner’s girlfriends have spoken out against the late mogul, with former The Girls Next Door star Holly Madison slamming her late boyfriend for putting a series of strict rules in place that his girlfriends had to follow.

If the past week is any indication, Brett Ratner’s long-in-development Hugh Hefner biopic could be well worth the wait.
With film fans still reeling from the news that Jared Leto (Blade Runner 2049) has come on board to headline the feature, we’re now learning that a Suicide Squad reunion could be on the cards, as one source close to The Mirror has tipped Margot Robbie to play one of Hefner’s three wives: Mildred Williams, Kimberley Conrad, or Crystal Harris.
Hugh Hefner was supposedly a big fan of the Aussie actress prior to his recent death, having extended an invitation for her to appear in Playboy Magazine circa 2014. Robbie politely declined the offer, but it’s understood the Hollywood star has now entered talks to co-star in Ratner’s biopic, one that will seemingly chronicle the rise and rise of Hugh Hefner, from shrewd businessman to renown entrepreneur.

Hugh Hefner died on Wednesday at the age of 91, and the American media icon leaves behind an impressive fortune. The question now is, who will be receiving a piece of the sizeable inheritance?
With an enormous publishing empire to his name -- which Hefner founded in the early 1950s with a total start-up capital of $8,000 including money he borrowed from his mom -- the Playboy founder's estate is estimated to be worth $50 million.
However, a source close to Hefner’s family tells Et that the family is not expecting any battle over money because his wife, Crystal Harris, was "made well aware that she was not going to be inheriting anything from his death when they married."
Harris, who tied the knot with Hefner in 2012, was the publishing magnate's third wife following his first marriage to Mildred Williams -- with whom he shares two children, daughter Christie and son David -- and his subsequent marriage to Playboy...

Family, friends and fans are mourning the loss of Hugh Hefner, the Playboy founder who died peacefully at his home at the age of 91 on Wednesday.
While many of his famous Playmates have expressed their condolences via social media and in statements to Et -- like Kendra Wilkinson, Bridget Marquardt and Pamela Anderson -- there's one that's been noticeably silent: Holly Madison.
From 2002-2008, the platinum blond beauty was Hefner's "No. 1" girlfriend. But according to Madison, all of that went downhill... and fast. In her 2015 memoir, Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny, Madison claims she contemplated suicide due to her unhappy life in the mansion.
From head over heels to their now-infamous feud, Et's breaking down what led to their strained relationship, and how it affected Madison's friendship with one of her The Girls Next Door co-stars.

Hugh Hefner built an empire and created an entire lifestyle based on the simple premise that people are always fascinated by what is considered taboo.
Hefner, who founded Playboy in 1953 in part with a $1,000 loan from his mother and went on to become one of the most successful (and envied) entrepreneurs of the 20th century, died on Wednesday from natural cause at his home, The Playboy Mansion, surrounded by loved ones, according to Playboy Enterprises, Inc. He was 91 years old.
“I know there was a tremendous amount of curiosity about me and my lifestyle, and that is not altogether an accident,” Hefner told Et in 1982. “But I also think that has a major part to do with what Playboy’s all about.

Hugh Hefner is the original Playboy, and the magazine's founder reveals he's made a lot of notches in his bedpost over the years. Somehow, we're not surprised.
In a new interview with Esquire, the 86-year-old confesses to sleeping with thousands of women over the years.
"How could I possibly know? Over a thousand, I'm sure," Hefner replied when asked how many women he's taken to bed in his lifetime. "There were chunks of my life when I was married, and when I was married I never cheated. But I made up for it when I wasn't married. You have to keep your hand in."
Hefner was first married in 1949 to a Northwestern University student named Mildred Williams, with whom he has two children -- Christie and David -- before divorcing in 1959.

Hugh Hefner's marriage to Crystal Harris will "definitely" be his last. The 84-year-old Playboy mogul thinks the 24-year-old beauty "deserves" to still be his spouse when he eventually passes away. He said, "She, you know, she deserves it. She deserves to be my widow."
The magazine mogul regards second wife Kimberley Conrad, who he married in 1989, separated from in 1998 and finally divorced in 2010, as the "love of his life", despite admitting he never got to know her very well but insists he has no regrets about their union because it gave him sons, 20-year-old Marston and 19-year-old Cooper.
He told the Sunday Times magazine, "I don't think I ever knew the girl, you know? But I don't regret it in that I got two wonderful children."
However, Hugh - who also has two other children, 48-year-old Christie and 45-year-old David from his marriage to first wife Mildred Williams - believes his union with Crystal,...

The world’s most perennial bachelor, sorry George Clooney, is finally settling down!
He may be a rather mature 84-year-old, but the always sprightly Hugh Hefner is ready to take the marriage plunge once again and proposed to 23-year-old girlfriend Crystal Harris on Christmas Day! The Playboy founder and notorious bachelor tweeted, “When I gave Crystal the ring, she burst into tears. This is the happiest Christmas weekend in memory.” This either speaks to Hugh’s sheer joy or utter lack of memory — let’s assume the former.
Crystal, who was at one point Miss January, has been Hef’s only lady for some time now. Hugh was previously married to Mildred Williams in 1949 and Kimberly Conrad in 1989. He has four children, half of whom are twice the age of his bride-to-be.
Congratulations kids!

Crystal Harris is engaged to Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.
You can't accuse Hef of marrying somebody half his age. More like a third.
The bride is 24. The groom is 84.
She was Playmate of the Month in December 2009.
Hef became a free man after divorcing wife Kimberley Conrad this year. Not that marriage ever slowed down his dating life. He divorced his first wife, Mildred Williams, in 1959. This Friday, more than half a century later, he tweeted:
After the movie tonight, Crystal & I exchanged gifts. I gave Crystal a ring. A truly memorable Christmas Eve.
The following day, he clarified:
When I gave Crystal the ring, she burst into tears. This is the happiest Christmas weekend in memory.
And:
Yes, the ring I gave Crystal is an engagement ring. I didn't mean to make a mystery out of it. A very merry Christmas to all.
She retweeted that last one. Ahh,...

Hugh Hefner says it's "easier" living with seven girlfriends than one wife. The Playboy founder has famously had multiple women live with him in the Playboy mansion, including exes Kendra Wilkinson, Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt, at once but he is adamant several ladies are easier to manage than a single spouse.
"Sometimes one woman is more difficult," Hugh, who has been married twice to Mildred Williams from 1949 to 1959 and Kimberley Conrad, who he first met in the 80s, said. "I was married and faithful for eight years in the 1980s, and following that, as an overreaction to that failed marriage, I wound up with seven live-in girlfriends. Dealing with those seven girlfriends was easier than dealing with one wife."
At present, Hugh is only dating one woman, 24-year-old blond beauty Crystal Harris. And the 84-year-old media mogul, who is the subject of new documentary "Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist...
