Podcasts about Hugh Hefner

Pamela Anderson doit son rôle dans "Alerte à Malibu" à son tour de poitrine, un 90E, qui déborde du célèbre maillot de bain rouge, mais aussi à Hugh Hefner, le patron de "Playboy", qui avait recommandé l'actrice au producteur de la série. Pourtant, au moment du casting, le coproducteur, qui n'est autre que David Hasselhoff, n'est pas convaincu, et met son véto... Dans "Ah Ouais ?", Florian Gazan répond en une minute chrono à toutes les questions essentielles, existentielles, parfois complètement absurdes, qui vous traversent la tête.

A man with a fairytale castle in upstate New York who keeps trying to make a self-produced reality show about "princesses" happen — and become a modern-day Hugh Hefner. A man who got famous on YouTube for lawn care who ends up filming himself as a baby — and has a SWAT team called to his house. These stories form the backbone of Jon Ronson's journey into the world of "unraveling men." Those two men's stories are exceptional, but they're also an entry point into a subject area I like to think of as "WTF is going on with dudes right now." Join Jon and me as we avoid the usual discussion about "toxic masculinity" and go deeper into friend-less-ness, algorithms, purposelessness, Sad Dads, and male buffoonery. It's a wild ride that felt like the beginning of a much longer conversation (that I hope we can keep having in the comments)!

Eddie Guerrero shows up at the Playboy Mansion demanding to speak to Hugh Hefner. The bodyguard thinks he means his actual mother. The door gets slammed in his face. He walks away cool. Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani recap the September 14, 2000 edition of WWF SmackDown, live from the America West Arena in Phoenix, Arizona.Foley books three tag matches to force the Unforgiven participants to coexist: Angle and Triple H vs T&A, Kane and Benoit vs the Acolytes, and Rock and Undertaker vs the Dudleys in a tables match. The stipulation is that if you attack your partner before the pay-per-view, your Unforgiven match is cancelled. The hosts count roughly six ways the stipulation gets broken before the night is over.Triple H and Angle team up and spend the entire match trying to outshine each other against T&A. Test takes advantage of the dysfunction, pins Triple H clean, and gets the biggest singles win of his career to that point. T&A are not given a moment to celebrate. The hosts have a lot to say about that.Edge and Christian, meanwhile, introduce the Hardys of the Future. Two elderly men dressed exactly like Matt and Jeff with the jinkos and the cutoff shirts come to the ring. Then Lita's music hits. It is a third old man. Edge says "dude, time travel rules" and he is not wrong.Please support the show, and join our brand new Patreon, featuring watch-alongs for classic matches.

This week, Katherine's Telling Everybody Everything about the continued jet lag that the children are suffering and how she hasn't put the baby down for three weeks solid. Plus, Katherine turns into a teenaged dirtbag and is infantilised by her hometown, so it's no wonder she was met with the conundrum of how to conduct a feminist CAT FIGHT when confronted by a handsy woman at lunch on holiday. Also, comedian Andrew Johnston @mandrewbrawnston joins from Hollywood alleging that Hugh Hefner himself once reported Jeffrey Epstein to the FBI, a USA surrogate refuses to terminate a pregnancy against the wishes of the parent couple, Slim Thug launches a child support abolition movement, and Grok emboldens a peso stepdad. x Hosted on Acast.

Former Playboy Playmate Audra Lynn Christiansen said Jeffrey Epstein sexually assaulted and trafficked her after she entered his orbit in 2004, describing an experience that she said eventually led her to seek help from Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. Christiansen, Playboy's Miss October 2003, said she had been living at the Playboy Mansion when she became connected with Epstein and alleged that she was sexually abused by him and trafficked to other powerful men, including Macau casino billionaire Stanley Ho. According to Christiansen, she eventually told Hefner what had happened and asked him to contact federal authorities because she believed his fame and connections would force the FBI to take her allegations seriously. Hefner reportedly contacted the bureau multiple times on her behalf in 2005, yet Christiansen said the FBI did not meaningfully follow up with her until 2020, years after the alleged abuse and after Epstein was already dead.Christiansen also described an alleged confrontation with Ghislaine Maxwell after she began speaking about what had happened to her. She said Maxwell threatened her and attempted to intimidate her into silence, reinforcing Christiansen's portrayal of Maxwell as someone who protected Epstein and helped maintain the atmosphere of fear surrounding women who might expose him. Her account added another dimension to the growing record of warnings authorities allegedly received about Epstein long before his 2019 federal arrest, raising renewed questions about why allegations brought directly to the FBI were not aggressively pursued. Christiansen's story was especially significant because she claimed that a nationally famous figure with considerable influence had personally contacted federal law enforcement on her behalf, yet even that reportedly failed to produce an investigation capable of stopping Epstein at the time.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmmail.comsource:Ex-Playboy Playmate Audra Christiansen says Ghislaine Maxwell threatened her after Epstein assault 

As more context to our previous episode examining just how many opportunities authorities had to intervene against Jeffrey Epstein, an amended lawsuit brought by 32 Epstein survivors added another extraordinary allegation to the timeline. According to the complaint, former Playboy Playmate Audra Lynn Christiansen told Hugh Hefner in 2005 that Epstein had raped and trafficked her, and that she had also been trafficked to Macau casino billionaire Stanley Ho. Christiansen, who was 23 and living at the Playboy Mansion at the time, reportedly turned to Hefner because she believed his prominence and law-enforcement connections might force authorities to take her allegations seriously. Hefner then allegedly contacted the FBI multiple times on her behalf specifically to report Epstein. That meant the bureau was allegedly being handed information about Epstein's sexual abuse and trafficking in 2005, during the same general period in which Palm Beach police were beginning to uncover their own evidence against him.What makes the revelation especially important in the context of our previous discussion is what allegedly happened next: essentially nothing. According to the lawsuit, the FBI did not follow up with Christiansen until October 2020, roughly fifteen years after Hefner's calls and more than a year after Epstein was dead. The allegation fits into the survivors' much broader case against the federal government, which contends that the FBI received credible warnings about Epstein dating back to at least 1996 yet repeatedly failed to investigate him aggressively enough to stop the abuse. The government has sought dismissal of the lawsuit and has argued, among other things, that the FBI was not legally required to investigate every complaint it received, while the survivors maintain that the failures went far beyond one missed tip. So when placed alongside everything we discussed previously, Hefner's alleged calls add another disturbing data point: Epstein was not operating because nobody was sounding alarms. People were sounding alarms, victims were identifying him, influential intermediaries were allegedly contacting federal law enforcement on their behalf, and yet another opportunity to meaningfully intervene appears to have disappeared into the system.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Newly surfaced court records alleged that Playboy founder Hugh Hefner contacted the FBI in 2005 after then-Playboy Playmate Audra Christiansen told him that she had been sexually abused and trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein. According to the filing, Christiansen believed Hefner's prominence would give the allegation greater credibility with federal authorities and asked him to make the report on her behalf. Hefner allegedly did so, putting the FBI on notice about accusations involving Epstein years before his 2008 Florida conviction and more than a decade before his 2019 federal sex-trafficking arrest. Christiansen alleged that Epstein raped her and trafficked her over a period of roughly 10 years, making Hefner's reported contact with federal authorities another potentially significant early warning about Epstein's conduct.The records further alleged that the FBI failed to meaningfully investigate Hefner's warnings for approximately 15 years, despite receiving information concerning sexual abuse and trafficking. Christiansen's lawsuit argued that the bureau violated policies requiring agents to investigate credible reports of child sexual abuse and trafficking, and that its failure to act left Epstein free to continue victimizing women and girls. The allegations add another chapter to longstanding questions about how numerous warnings, complaints and opportunities to investigate Epstein were handled by law enforcement before his eventual federal prosecution. If the claims are substantiated, Hefner's reported 2005 warning would further undermine the idea that federal authorities lacked early information about the scope and seriousness of Epstein's alleged conduct.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Hugh Hefner reported Jeffrey Epstein to FBI for alleged rape of Playboy Playmate

On this episode of West of Knowhere we cover a range of stories: the Plymouth, Massachusetts murder trial of a woman accused of killing her three children; mounting morale and mental-health issues aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln after an extended deployment; and national headlines including Luigi Mangione's guilty plea, President Trump's push to swap EMALS for steam catapults, and newly surfaced documents linking Hugh Hefner to early warnings about Jeffrey Epstein. We also discuss the rise of private “Flock” surveillance cameras and their misuse, Conor McGregor ending his sobriety, listener comments and Google searches, and an “Am I the A-hole?” case about whether to tell a partner their pet snake has died.   Linktr.ee/wokpod   https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-military/2026/08/11/multiple-uss-abraham-lincoln-sailors-have-tried-to-go-overboard-amid-extended-deployment-families-say/?link_source=ta_bluesky_link&taid=6a7badac325a7500012a81c8&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky https://www.stripes.com/branches/navy/2026-08-13/uss-george-washington-middle-east-abraham-lincoln-22541038.html https://abcnews.com/US/luigi-mangione-guilty-plea-expected-announced-friday-federal/story?id=135607454 https://ktar.com/arizona-news/chandler-drops-flock-after-audit-misuse https://newbedfordlight.org/new-bedford-police-officer-accused-of-using-flock-cameras-to-track-and-follow-ex-romantic-partner/ https://thenerdstash.com/hugh-hefner-warned-fbi-about-epstein-after-florida-playmate-was-allegedly-abused-they-ignored-him-of-all-people-being-disgusted/ https://abcnews.com/US/wireStory/killing-kids-lindsay-clancy-searched-hallucinations-psychosis-ways-135625829 https://apnews.com/article/trump-aircraft-carriers-steam-catapults-ffa9f3ce102ecd5d6126db03e901a56f https://www.operationsports.com/conor-mcgregor-announces-he-is-ending-his-sobriety-and-brad-pitt-inspired-him-to-drink-again-take-it-easy-brad/

Sometimes, it's the people you least expect who do big things. This is one of those times in Holly's mind. Hugh Hefner -- the man behind Playboy -- is now reported to have gone to the FBI about Jeffrey Epstein more than 20 years ago. Despite his complaints about things Epstein was doing, the FBI didn't open up official investigations into Hefner's complaints for nearly 15 years. NewsNation first reported the story this morning, which says that Hefner told the FBI of abuse and trafficking done by Epstein multiple times.

You might not know the name, but Linda Hoxit was a regular fixture on TV variety shows for many years - shows like The Sonny and Cher Show, The Carol Burnett Show, The Brady Bunch Variety Hour, and many more, and also appeared in movies like Mel Brooks' The History of the World, Part One and Movie, Movie. Along the way, she dated legendary rock stars, lived at the Playboy Mansion when she dated Hugh Hefner's brother, performed on Broadway – dancing, singing, and acting. Her memoir of those times is painted in living color, filled with anecdotes and stories of an era we're never going to have again. Told with candor, honesty, and humor, Linda's story is uniquely her own

From Dairy Queen counter girl to Playboy pinup to murder victim – in just two years. Hugh Hefner called her the next Marilyn Monroe. A major Hollywood director wrote a role in his new film just for her, confident that she would make the leap from centerfold to starlet. But all of that was cut short on August 14, 1980, when a private investigator stumbled upon a brutal murder scene that shook the entertainment industry to its core.

The fabulous Brandy Howard and Julie Goldman and I dive into the shocking photos of Jax Taylor getting incredibly cozy in a Mexican resort pool with Lori Krebs, the longtime publicist he shared with his estranged ex-wife, Brittany Cartwright, who has officially fired her. We dissect how this messy betrayal was discovered, what it means for their co-parenting, and Julie chimes in with her unfiltered opinion on who the most hated man on The Valley really is. Plus, we discuss the toxic relationship dynamic surrounding Tom Sandoval and whether his claims of being a victim of domestic violence will completely tank his career or somehow help it. Then, we get into the financial nightmare over at the Kemsley household: PK is demanding the sole ability to sell their mansion before it hits foreclosure, but Dorit keeps putting it off. We also ask the ultimate question about the Real Housewives franchises, are these women completely self-producing and taking literal, physical falls just for camera attention? From the wild, drama-filled war between Taylor Frankie Paul and Whitney Leavitt, to a new OnlyFans moms show, to critical safety warnings about booking cruises, and a raw look at the new Netflix documentary exposing Crystal Harris's marriage to Hugh Hefner, we cover it all, before I wrap things up with my personal predictions on the Bonnie Blue train! -Download Cash App Today: ⁠https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/9l268n36 ⁠#CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

In 1973 Alan Bursky burst on the comedy scene in a big was when he was just 17 and being the youngest comedian to ever perform on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. He was also involved in booking entertainment in the early days of the Magic Island. But long before that when he was growing up in New York, he developed a friendship with David Kotke aka David Copperfield. Later while on the comedy circuit, he befriended Freddie Prinze who starred in “Chico and the Man” television series. He was a roommate with Freddie for a while.

With a brand new tell-all documentary, she's finally taking back control of the narrative. In this chat with Josh, Katie gets honest about her relationship with Lee Andrews, and why for the first time she says she wants a man rather than needs one.

BAD BUNNY — Playboy is many things to quite a few people. We don't have to go into its history, but the thing you need to know is this: it's back. Yes, there will be photos of women in various stages of undress, and yes, there will be sharp writing from sharp minds. But mostly, the people behind it are going to try and build up the media brand, and that's important, because Playboy was arguably the first magazine that used its content at the center of a much larger and much more diverse brand ecosystem. The new editor-in-chief also comes with another title, Chief Brand Officer, which gives you an indication that these people aren't messing around. Philip Picardi has a long history in magazines and has also worked in brand. He's also gay, which honestly, I have some trouble saying here because it doesn't matter that he is. But when I tell my friends that the new editor-in-chief of Playboy, an heir to Hugh Hefner of all people, is gay, well, that raises an eyebrow. Because Playboy is a lot of things, but it's also a very male, very heterosexual brand. But what if I told you that some of the best writing coming out of Playboy now was being written by a cadre of hyper-talented young women, that Philip's boss used to work at National Geographic and Disney, or that Philip received his master's degree from the Harvard Divinity School? Should I keep going? Because I could. Just listen to our discussion. We're going to dispel some misconceptions and then some. — This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

Getting kissed by Sean Connery, whilst he was James Bond, fanned repeatedly by Bob Dylan when she sang, plucked for a film by Frank Sinatra, bagels and the part of a lifetime from Tom Hanks, gaslit and insulted by Jerry Lewis, adored and showcased by Dean Martin, wildly successful club proprietor with Hugh Hefner, best friends with Connie Stevens, and Diane Ladd, taught a golden secret by Shelley Winters, asked to serenade her hero Judy Garland, and then had the favor returned, making the funny with Renee Taylor, the straight serious with John Houseman, stress understudying Barbara Streisand, mad love for Bette Midler, who almost played her, Tony, Emmy Golden Globe nominee, Lainie Kazan, dancer, singer, actor, spilled all this and so much more! My favorite character in my favorite movie, My Favorite Year, we got the behind-the-scenes fun, Peter O'Toole and his wonderfulness, improvising one of the funniest lines, likewise with My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which she waited a year to hear, then had the time of her life with a cast she's still connected to. What a life Lainie's led! What work she's done! And what a fun, fierce, and fabulous woman she is! Blessed to call her a friend and even more to know she was off to have drinks and dinner with my mother, which she does most nights. I can't wait for her in-process memoir, sure to shock, delight, and thrill. I love Lainie! Who doesn't! Lainie Kazan Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Wed, May 27, 5 pm PT, 8 pm ET Streamed Live on my FB, YouTube & LinkedIn

Tonight I will take a deep dive into the societal grooming that has been going on in America for over 100 years. I'll connect the dots between feminism, the sexual revolution and the normalization of homosexuality, transgenderism, and pedophilia through the historical lens of Magnus Hirchfeld, John Money, Margaret Mead, Hugh Hefner, Alfred Kinsey and more.

As a young boy growing up in Queens, New York, Chuck McCann worshipped stars like Stan Laurel, Buster Keaton and Groucho Marx, and within a few years, he would find himself befriending (or working with) all of them. Gilbert and Frank phoned Chuck (one of THEIR childhood heroes) to talk about his unusual and unlikely journey from obsessed fan to celebrated screen, stage and voice performer and beloved kiddie show host. Also: Chuck hitches a ride on Hugh Hefner's jet, inspires Billy Crystal, writes a part for John Carradine and co-stars in a legendary TV flop. Plus: Hal Roach! Tim Conway!

The Playboy Mansion in the 1980s was in its absolute heyday. The sexual revolution had come full flower, drugs were largely regarded as harmless fun and every night offered a new adventure to a young man who'd never experienced anything like it.  The Playboy Mansion of the 1980s belonged to a different world.The rules were different.The expectations were different.What people considered daring, outrageous, or perfectly normal would raise eyebrows today.That's part of what makes it worth revisiting.Recently, the Mansion and Hugh Hefner have been the subject of criticism and controversy.I don't dismiss anyone who had a negative experience there.But what I saw during my five years inside those gates was something more complicated — and far more interesting.Most of the people I knew from that time remember it with a certain affection.This book shows you why.INSIDE THE BOOK• What did the Playboy Mansion feel like after the parties ended and the house finally went quiet?• What were the Playmates really like when the cameras were gone?• What was the strangest request I ever received during a 3 AM shift?• Which famous star asked me to steal a bottle of top-shelf liquor… and then took me on a wild midnight ride through the streets of Los Angeles?• Which movie star's wife begged me to keep her company in the Grotto?• What really happened after 2 A.M.• The night the Playmates cried.• And the night that changed my life forever.I'll be interviewing guests and Playmates who were there at the time, and I'll illustrate my memories with exclusive photos, memos and personal notes that have never been published anywhere.It's 3:00 in the morning at the Playboy Mansion.The party is over.The celebrities have disappeared into guest rooms.A few Playmates wander into the butler's pantry, looking for company.And the strangest part of the night is just beginning.I spent five years working the night shift inside the most famous house in America.My job was to provide Hefner and his guests whatever they asked for.And as the hour grew later… the requests grew stranger.I'm turning those nights into a book right now.And this campaign is what determines whether it gets made the way it deserves to be.KickstarterInstagramRedditBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

If you ever wondered what happens when pop culture chaos meets questionable life decisions and just enough caffeine to fuel bad takes… welcome back to your favorite daily comedy show.Today's episode kicks off with a Star Wars “what could've been” that has us screaming into the galaxy. Apparently, Adam Driver pitched a standalone Kylo Ren movie and Disney said, “Nah.” Which means somewhere in an alternate universe, we're watching a billion-dollar backstory about Han and Leia's brooding kid — and instead we're just rewatching The Mandalorian trailer like the rest of civilization. We break down the missed opportunity and question Disney's decision-making like we're qualified executives. (We're not.)Then things take a turn when we unpack the wild situation involving The Blind Side actor Quentin Aaron — a spinal stroke, a coma, and waking up to find out your “wife” wasn't legally your wife at all. That's not a subplot. That's real life. We react in real time and try to wrap our heads around that level of chaos.Speaking of chaos — YouTube turned 21. Yes, we're officially old. We revisit the very first upload (“Me at the Zoo”) and spiral into nostalgia about how a 19-second elephant video turned into a trillion hours of conspiracy theories, mukbangs, and cat content. The internet is undefeated.In Crap on Celebrities, we dive into:Bourbon & Beyond festival lineup (bourbon, bands, and potential poor decisions)The possibility of a “lost” Van Halen albumOzzy's emotional final performance moment (yes, we teared up… a little)Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO content overload — is the celebrity machine moving too fast?Hugh Hefner's alleged sex diary controversy (because of course that exists)Shia LaBeouf getting knocked around in New OrleansAnd the most diabolical sitcom characters ever (Cartman supremacy confirmed)Plus: Match Up with Moon returns, and Riz is still rocking a goose egg.

Two of the perhaps most surprising names to appear in the Epstein files are those of the Dalai Lama and Deepak Chopra. Jimmy and his guest, filmmaker Mikki Willis, question the two spiritual leaders' judgment and continued associations after Epstein's conviction, focusing on controversial emails, disputed interpretations of public incidents, and broader criticism of celebrity spiritual leaders who preach enlightenment while allegedly maintaining ties to powerful elites.  Chopra's past writings and public persona are contrasted with his defensive and evasive responses when confronted about Epstein by a journalist at the airport. The segment expands into a wider critique of the "new age" movement, masculinity, parenting philosophy, and what the speakers describe as ego-driven hypocrisy within spiritual communities. Plus segments on Russia rescuing Cuba from Trump's oil embargo and Hugh Hefner as the original honeypot operator. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Howard Lutnick!
