Jayde Nicole -- I'm No Las Vegas Whore!
Jayde Nicole is being touted around Las Vegas as a full service escort who will come straight to your hotel room if the price is right. Problem is, Jayde knows nothing about it.
TMZ has learned Jayde's image is being passed around Vegas on those escort-for-hire cards that those people flick at passersby on the streets.
On the flier, Jayde is identified as "Tanya" -- and the accompanying nudie pic is ripped straight from her Playboy spread.
But here's the best part: We called the escort service -- strictly for research purposes -- and they guaranteed the woman you saw on the card is the same exact woman who will show up to your sleazy motel room.
They also explained that "Tanya" doesn't cost $35 -- but if you turn in the card, you get a $35 discount from the regular price. Sorry ... they wouldn't tell us what price is regular.
But obviously, Jayde is not really a Sin City streetwalker -- and now a rep for the former Playmate of the Year tells us lawyers have already "dispatched a cease and desist letter" on behalf of both Jayde and Playboy.

Porn Co. to Mayer: Put Your Words in Our Mouths
John Mayer's dirty mouth got him into a lot of trouble in the past week -- but it also may have gotten him a job ... with a porno company.
When he wasn't droppin' the N-bomb or comparing his dangle to a KKK member, John Mayer also said one other interesting thing in that Playboy interview -- that his "dream" is to write pornography.
Now, his dream could become a reality -- because XXX giant Vivid Entertainment wants to put Mayer to work ... stat! Vivid penned a letter to the blues singer offering him a gig as a writer and director for one of its upcoming nakey films.
Vivid writes that Mayer's a great candidate for the porn biz because his talents "have touched so many" -- and apparently there's a lot more touching to be done.

Jessica Simpson Laughs Off Mayer Comments
There's one person who wasn't offended by John Mayer's controversial Playboy interview -- Jessica Simpson.
Jessica was in L.A. last night -- and when we asked her how she felt about Mayer comparing her sex appeal to a "drug" and calling her "crazy" in the sack, Jessica turned red, smiled, laughed ... and gave an official "no comment."
John has since apologized for some other "racy" comments he made -- looks like Jessica has already forgiven him.

John Mayer I Need to Grow Up!
John Mayer apologized a second time last night for his controversial Playboy comments -- this time to his band ... some of whom are African American.
Mayer stopped his Nashville concert Wednesday night to address the interview where he dropped the n-word and compared his you-know-what to a white supremacist -- saying he was trying to be "clever" and "did that at the expense of people I love."
He then thanked his band for sticking with him, adding "I just wanna play my guitar."

John Mayer Sorry for Dropping the N-Word
John Mayer is apologizing for using the N-Word in that explosively controversial Playboy interview in which he compared his penis to a white supremacist.
During the interview, Mayer stated that "black people" love him -- and then he brought up the topic of a "hood pass."
While explaining the meaning of a hood pass, Mayer said, "It's sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a n*gger pass."
But moments ago, Mayer issued an apology, via Twitter, saying "I am sorry that I used the word. And it's such a shame that I did because the point I was trying to make was in the exact opposite spirit of the word itself."
Mayer added, "It was arrogant of me to think I could intellectualize using it, because I realize that there's no intellectualizing a word that is so emotionally charged."

Hugh Hefner Divorce A Done Deal
Good news ladies... Hugh Hefner is going to be a single man ... soon.
TMZ has obtained legal docs making his divorce from Kimberly Hefner official on March 11.
Sources tell us the couple has come to terms on a property settlement which is confidential.
The 83-year-old filed for divorce last September, although he separated from Kimberly in 1998.
Hugh didn't file for divorce earlier because he struck a deal and paid Kimberly a fixed sum and let her live in the house adjacent to the Playboy Mansion.
Kimberly filed a $5 million lawsuit against Hef last August after Hef sold the house and didn't give her profits. He claims he's paid her nearly $12 million since they separated.
The couple married in 1989 and have two adult sons.

Hugh Hefner Accused of Screwing Playboy
Hugh Hefner has been sued for living the good life and refusing to give it up for the sake of his company.
We've obtained a class action lawsuit filed by a Playboy shareholder who claims the company is falling apart and Hugh has intentionally sabotaged two potential deals in the last 6 months to sell the company at a decent price.
In the lawsuit, an investment company that analyzed Playboy's business sent a note stating "we think the wildcard here is Hugh Hefner." The note continues, "If you were Hugh Hefner, 81, would you give up the parade of busty blonds, the fancy mansion and the reality TV show for a payout?"
The suit goes on ... "Hefner has continued to live the good life and make sure everyone knows it. Hefner remains in the limelight, showing up at media events and at the Playboy mansion ... with his girlfriends by his side."
The suit laments, "Today, the price of a Playboy magazine is far higher than the price of Playboy common stock." In 1999, the stock sold for $36 a share. Today Playboy closed at $3.14. The magazine sells for $5.99 ... because of the articles.
The plaintiffs say Hefner runs roughshod over the shareholders and they want unspecified damages.
The Worst Playboy Mansion Story Ever
A man claims he went to the Playboy Mansion -- and all he got was a "savage" ass kicking.
It's all part of a new lawsuit filed against Playboy ... by a guy who obviously never, ever plans to go back to Hef's place again in his lifetime.
According to the suit, a guy named Ryan Murphy claims he somehow scored an invite to a Super Bowl party at the Mansion in 2008 -- a party where guests were "permitted to consume an endless amount of alcohol without restriction." So far, so good -- right?
Woman to Hef: I Gave You the Best Years ...
In a lawsuit that arguably defies the very fabric of Playboy, a woman who was fired by Playboy Enterprises claims Hugh Hefner prefers younger women.
Jennifer Lewis, a former Guest Relations Coordinator for the Playboy Mansion, claims she was fired after she turned 47 and replaced by a 33-year-old woman. The suit claims Lewis, who is suing Hef as well as other Playboy big wigs, gave the defendants "over ten of the best years of her life."
Lewis claims beginning last year, she was singled out and subjected to a hostile work environment. Lewis claims it got so bad she was placed on anti-depressants.
In the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Lewis is asking for unspecified damages.
No immediate comment from Playboy.

Sarah Palin -- Levi's 'Porn' Is 'Heartbreaking'
The feud between Sarah Palin ('memba her?!) and Levi Johnston rages on -- and even though she offered him an olive branch invite to her Thanksgiving dinner, we don't see them sharing the stuffing come next week.
The VP wannabeen appeared on "Oprah" today, where talk turned to her daughter's babydaddy's Playgirl spread -- a career move she labels as "heartbreaking" "porn." Palin also noted that she heard Levi is going by another name these days -- Rikki Hollywood.
FYI -- Levi's supposedly shooting his "porn" today.

Playmate DOESN'T Steal from Children
The Playboy Playmate formerly accused of taking money from innocent children just won big in court -- because the lawsuit which claimed stole another woman's child support was just dropped.
Ida Ljungqvist's lawyer, Keith Fink, claimed the other woman decided against pursuing her lawsuit because she was told she faced a malicious prosecution action if she followed through with it.
Katrina Kantner filed the lawsuit on May 28 -- claiming Ida received $90,000 from her ex-husband, Doug ... all while Doug neglected his $10,000 monthly child support payments.
Ida's lawyer claims she was targeted simply because she is a celebrity.

Joanna Krupa Tickled Pink in Fetish Video
Joanna Krupa has got one hilarious foot fetish -- or at least she does in this laughable low budget fetish video from back in the day ... complete with more tickle torture than anyone should ever have to endure.
TMZ has learned the Playboy bombshell and "Dancing with the Stars" competitor scored the starring role of "Head Nurse Regina" in the foot fetish/tickle torture film "No Shoes No Mercy" back in 2003 ... probably for some extra cash before her big break.
In the video, Krupa starts off by unleashing her fingers of fury on her female tickle partner ... then gets tied down on the hospital bed for an awkwardly awesome session of her very own.
As for Krupa's tickle partner? That's Sarah Kozer -- a reality TV regular you might recognize as the runner-up from "Joe Millionaire."
