Remember a time when ‘old for new’ was just applied to a home insurance policy? Well now it appears it applies to Playboy bunnies too as Holly Madison and friends are replaced by the new bunnies in Hugh Hefner’s life!

But that said, the role of a Playboy bunny certainly gives a girl a longer life expectancy in the public eye than the name ‘bunny’ would suggest.

It seems that once you’ve removed your kit for the octogenarian glamour model magnate, Hugh Hefner, life just goes from strength to strength, and a bunny’s bank account heads in the same direction.

This is proved by the one time number one girlfriend of Hefner, Holly Madison, as, on leaving the world of the Playboy mansion she headed for the Las Vegas strip where she has been starring in a burlesque show, Peepshow, as Bo Peep and has now accepted the offer of her own TV reality show, Planet Holly!

Following hot on the heels another one of Hefner’s girlfriends, Kendra Wilkinson, the first Bunny to land her own reality show, egocentrically named, Kendra,, Holly says of her new gig, “It’s the perfect excuse for me to be normal in a lighthearted comedy romp. Think Mary Tyler Moore, I think it will inspire other girls to always follow their dreams - whatever they might be. And then dream some more! Just because I’ve wound up in Peepshow on the Strip, I’m not stopping, and I’ve set myself five more things to achieve in life. I will never stop setting new goals because I’m having fun living life.”

But since The Girls Next Door series, featuring Holly, Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt, dropped the three bunnies from the series, Madison has had to find herself a new niche in which to showcase herself and now she’ll begin shooting Planet Holly on October 12th, just a day after the new season of The Girls Next Door premiers on E!, this time starring Hef’s new girls 23 year old Crystal Harris along with her 19 year old twin sister co-stars ,Karissa and Kristina Shannon.

Following her third big screen appearance in last year’s mildly amusing, The House Bunny movie, Playboy model Anna Faris is once again set to fill movie theaters, but this time not for her body but for her voice over as she fills the role of weathergirl Sam Sparks, in Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, an animated feature

Anna’s second movie came out in 2000 with the first of four Scary Movies. Playing her usual  self dizzy blonde self, in the character of Cindy caught producers’ eyes.

Prior to that Anna had played a straight part in Lost In Translation, with Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray, before landing her first major lead role as the centerfold turned out of the Playboy mansion in The House Bunny.

It was Anna’s idea originally to explore what would happen when Hugh Hefner’s Bunny Girls finally had to leave the Playboy mansion.

Speaking of her idea and inspiration Anna said, “At some point, these Playboy Bunnies have got to leave the house,” she says, explaining how the idea came about. “Why do you get kicked out? Because you won’t get the eighth boob job? 

Apart from becoming a new face on the big screen Anna has also become a new wife, for the second time. Her first marriage to Ben Indra ended in 2008,  and this time the Playboy model who graced the cover of Playboy September 2008, married Bride Wars star Chris Pratt, in a small ceremony in Hawaii just three months ago.

If you’re an avid fan of Playboy’s regular monthly publications, chances are you’ve also indulged in Hugh Hefner’s Special Editions and if you have, you’ll recognize the name of Amanda Paige.

Amanda Paige, who also uses the name Amanda Paige Gellar, first appeared in the magazine’s October 2004 edition and this pretty blonde 24 year old ex University of Virginia college girl went on to grace the cover of two Playboy magazines to date and has appeared in a pictorial in Playboy’s Nudes Special Edition, Spring 2007.

Amanda was discovered by a Playboy scout before she graduated with a major in sociology.

The petite model had the accolade of being named as Playboy’s Playmate of the Month in October 2005, and issue that saw her gracing the cover with a body painted top bearing the number ‘7’ and grasping an American football.

More recently Paige also made an appearance on the cover of Playboy’s magazine for the September 2007 issue.

Now attending the University of Richmond law school this fall, she’s studying entertainment law and believes her Bunny work will attribute to her success in this field. Speaking of the money she has earned as a Playboy model Amanda states,” It helps, Through doing Playboy, I got a Bunny costume, and I still do promotions.” She has recently been promoting herself in Detroit and will be in Miami in October for a Playboy Halloween party.

Paige appears at various fan conventions, most notably Glamourcon, where she greets her fans, and autographs and sells various Playboy publications containing her photos shoots!

Its not often that an ex Playboy model and bunnygirl makes headlines for much more than wearing an outrageous outfit or for dating a toy boy. But today, Miss October 1987, Brandi Brandt has hit the news as she is named as part of a major cocaine smuggling syndicate in Australia involving Sydney Airport caterers.

Brandi was named in Australian Federal Police court documents after she was caught on the security CCTV cameras at the up market, Bondi Swiss Grand Hotel after arriving from the USA aboard a flight where $1.6 million worth of cocaine was found in a trash bin in the airplane’s restrooms.

So, from Miss Playboy of the Month in Playboy magazine October 1989, Brandi Brandt could soon see herself becoming Miss 60 months in federal prison!

What happens to a Playboy model when she outgrows her posing days and glamour photo shoots?

Well, in the case of Jenny McCarthy, she continues to remain an evergreen beauty, but with added grace, femininity and deeper, more meaningful directions in her life.

Gone are the days of skimpy swimsuits, the bunny ears and the centerfold pictorial for Jenny as she devotes her life to the little boy that has brought her equal happiness to those heady days at Hugh Hefner’s Playboy mansion, her son Evan!

As a celebrity mother, Jenny has found her fame can help to bring attention to many causes worldwide, ranging from autism to non-toxic infant and junior products.

Following the diagnosis in 2005, that Jenny’s son had autism and that there was no cure she began to treat Evan holistically through diet, nutrition and other interventions in his environment.

And with the two main men in her life, son Evan and actor Jim Carrey, Jenny, 37, retains her Playboy model looks and figure, but finds sharing her time with Playboy is now out of the question!
