Playboy

Taylor Hale -- the first Black woman to win "Big Brother" -- is taking back power over her image ... and she's doing it in the sexiest way possible!

After nude images of the 'BB' winner were released online without her permission, Taylor is leaning into the skid and taking back the reins with a scalding-hot Playboy shoot. You want nudes? Ok ... but now it's on her terms.

Check out the pics ... the reality star absolutely sizzles as Playboy's 2026 Miss March. She teases fans, covering her bare breasts in one pic, while showing off her shapely bum in another ... seriously, she's a complete smoke show, and she said it's because this time, she had a say.

The Playboy universe continues to generate controversy nearly 10 years after Hugh Hefner's passing ... because his widow Crystal Harris is firing back at 2 of Hef's former girlfriends, Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt -- insisting their ongoing public criticism is fueling a wave of harassment against her.

Crystal tells TMZ ... the former 'Girls Next Door' stars have spent years building platforms painting her as the villain in the name of empowerment and accountability ... all while refusing to handle their issues privately. Instead, Crystal says, they’ve chosen to air grievances publicly.

Crystal tells us their commentary has led to her social media being flooded with gaslighting, hostile messages and even death threats ... adding that no disagreement justifies that level of mob behavior.

Hugh Hefner kept a sex diary full of lurid descriptions and thousands of nude images of his conquests, at least according to his widow ... and she's fighting to keep it all under wraps.

Crystal Hefner and her attorney, Gloria Allred, announced Tuesday they believe Hef's sex diary contains around 3,000 photos of women -- some possibly underage -- before, during and after sex.

Hugh is famous for his Playboy Magazine empire, but Crystal and Gloria says the scrapbooks are personal nudes and not photos that were ever shown in Playboy. They say Hef's alleged sex diary dates back to the 1960s ... with names of sexual partners matched with sex acts.

Could Cameron Brink be the next hooper to hop from the WNBA to Playboy?? It's entirely possible ... 'cause the L.A. Sparks star tells TMZ Sports she'd consider posing for the magazine ... but her fiancé has to be on board.

Pro baller Kysre Gondrezick paved the way -- she was announced as the publication's Miss June last year -- and ditched her clothes for a stunning photoshoot to fulfill her duties.

Now that Gondrezick became the first pro basketball player to be named a "Playmate," could there be a second??

If so, Brink would make sense -- she has experience in modeling and expressed interest in going nude for the now-defunct ESPN The Magazine's "Body Issue" in the past.

Kendra Wilkinson is a long way from her days at the Playboy Mansion ... because now she's a realtor.

We got the former "Girls Next Door" star at the Supermodels Unlimited Magazine Cover Party and our photog asked her about her transition from Playboy and reality TV to real estate.

Kendra says she's still got a lot of baggage from her days in Hollywood and that is playing a role in her new life as a celeb realtor ... but she's got no other choice than to make deals to feed her family as a single mother.

Denise Richards is ready to do some serious party hopping this Halloween ... with the actress looking smokin' hot as a Playboy bunny!

In a series of snaps she dropped on IG ... Denise is rockin' a skin-tight classic bunny costume that shows off her assets.

It's a fitting look for tonight ... since as you recall, DR posed for Playboy in the December 2004 issue, months after giving birth to daughter Sami.

Kysre Gondrezick's had a wild time on and off the court ... and we're here for it all!

The professional basketball player's played for several different teams throughout her athletic career ... and she's since branched out into modeling.

We're going to take a look and see how the athlete made a name for herself -- and how she ended up being named as Miss June 2025 by a long-running publication.

Kysre's not the only one in her family with athletic experience, because her father, Grant, played in the NBA for several years, and her mother, Lisa, played guard at Louisiana Tech.

Plus, the athlete's sister played for the Michigan State Spartans women's basketball team, and her uncle Glen also spent several seasons in the NBA.

Kysre followed in her mother's footsteps and played college ball, as she spent a single season with the Michigan Wolverines.

The athlete eventually transferred to the University of West Virginia, and she played with the Mountaineers for three seasons.

Kysre began her career in the WNBA in 2021, when she was picked by the Indiana Fever after putting on a stellar performance in the NCAA Women's Tournament, according to CBS Sports.

The thing is, the athlete only spent a single season with the Fever before she was waived by the team.

She remained unsigned until May 2024, when it was announced she'd made the Chicago Sky's Opening Day roster.

Kysre ended up being waived by the Sky later in the year, and she joined the AU Pro Basketball league in 2025.

Kysre's love life's been connected to the court, as she was formerly in a relationship with Kevin Porter Jr., who currently plays for the Milwaukee Bucks.

However, the pair's relationship became the subject of controversy in 2023, when the athlete's former boyfriend allegedly assaulted her at a hotel in Manhattan.

Although Kysre told the New York Post her former boyfriend hadn't hit her, Porter later pled guilty to misdemeanor assault and a harassment violation in relation to the alleged incident, according to ESPN.

She was later linked to NBA star Jaylen Brown, and the pair attended the 2024 ESPYs together.

Kysre's maintained an active life off the court, as the athlete was named as Playboy's Miss June 2025 in October 2025.

The publication made the big news known by sharing a post on Instagram. It's worth noting she's become the first current professional basketball player to have ever been named as a Playmate.

Kysre issued a brief statement at the time and claimed the move into modeling was a natural "evolution," not a "transition."

Kysre Gondrezick is trading her jersey for ... well, not much -- the former WNBA player was just named Playboy's Miss June.

The famed publication has been rolling out its roster of beautiful ladies for this year over the past few days ... and on Monday, the 2021 fourth-overall pick was revealed as the selection for the sixth month of 2025.

The Bunny says Kysre -- who was recently linked to NBA superstar Jaylen Brown -- is the first current pro basketball player to earn the "Playmate" title. In the announcement, the outlet shared a pic of the hooper floating on an orange pool toy while topless.

A Playboy model says she got dress-coded on a recent American Airlines flight ... and, she thinks her hair color and the size of her chest are major reasons why.

Sara Blake Cheek spoke to us about a recent experience flying with the company ... she says she made it through security, scanned her boarding pass and got all the way to the plane, when she claims a flight attendant told her to button her flannel and cover her sports bra.

Sara shared photos of her outfit to social media after she says this all went down ... and, we gotta say it's not super risqué ... certainly more coverage than a swimsuit would provide. Plus, given what's allegedly gone down on some flights recently, showing a little cleavage ain't such a big deal.

Six years and lots of moolah later ... the Playboy mansion has been restored to its former glory.

Check it out ... the infamous party mansion previously owned by the late Hugh Hefner got a major facelift after its new owner, billionaire Daren Metropoulos, purchased the property back in 2016 for a hefty $100 million.

The mansion looks completely refreshed with an intricately maintained lawn and gardens, plus a new light-gray and aqua-blue color scheme throughout.

One of Cassie's bombshells in Diddy's federal trial is her claim he suffered a 2012 drug overdose following a Playboy Mansion bash, and we've got hot shots from the fateful, celeb-packed event.

Cassie told the jury Thursday about the couple's on-and-off use of opiates over the course of their tumultuous years-long relationship, and she specifically referenced a wild night in February 2012.

She said, on that day, the couple had a freak-off, then went to a sex club in San Bernardino -- about 2 hours east of L.A. -- and later, Diddy went to the Playboy Mansion without Cassie.

Playboy model Ariane Bellamar died late last year at age 46 ... TMZ has learned.

Nevada's Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner tells TMZ they received a report of death for Bellamar on December 20th, 2024. The coroner did not have jurisdiction over her case, so no further details were available.

Ariane’s cause of death was a heart attack, according to a GoFundMe set up by her ex-husband, Tanner Slaught, who was raising funds to cover her funeral expenses.

Kanye West had everyone scratching their heads Wednesday ... after he posted a 2008 video of a butt-naked Pamela Anderson giving a birthday cake to the late Hugh Hefner.

The rapper uploaded the old footage to his Instagram Story, showing the former "Baywatch" actress serving Hef the cake on a silver tray during his 82nd Bday.

At one point, Hef — the Playboy magazine owner who died of natural causes in 2017 — wraps his arms around Pam as she kisses him and dances in her stilettos. Pam shared a connection with Hef ... she was the February 1990 Playboy Playmate of the Month.

Madisyn Shipman, a former child star known for her work in Nickelodeon's "Game Shakers," is looking all grown up in a celebratory New Year's Eve video ... which features some spicy lingerie and a sexy Champagne shower.

Check it out ... Madisyn dons a black 2-piece and a pearl cutout overlay for a new shoot by director Chris Applebaum. The new video is meant to commemorate the new year, as Madisyn also rocks a "Happy New Year" headband and fur coat for the shoot.
