The Girls Next Door started on August 7, 2005 on the E! Network. It was started by Kevin Burns and Playboy founder, Hugh Hefner. For the first five seasons of The Girls Next Door, the show depicted the lives of Hefner’s girlfriends Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt, and Kendra Wilkinson, who lived with Hefner at the Playboy Mansion.
At the end of 2008, Holly moved out of the mansion for undisclosed reasons, but the last episode of season 5 shows her unhappiness at the mansion, and her unable to marry and have children with Hefner. Kendra also moved out towards the end of 2008 because she wanted to have a relationship with Eagles Wide Receiver, Hank Baskett. Bridget temporary moved out of the mansion to film her show Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches but ended up permanently moving out in the beginning of 2009.
Holly is currently living in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she is a star in the burlesque show, Peepshow, where she plays lead roll, Boe Peep. You can see her life in Las Vegas, in her new reality series, Holly’s World, which airs on the E! Network. A third season of the show should be airing soon. Bridget is currently dating director, Nick Carpenter and they share a home in Los Angeles, California. Kendra is now married to Hank Baskett and they share a child together. You can see her life depicted on her own reality show, Kendra, which also airs on the E! Network, and has currently wrapped its fourth season.
After Holly, Bridget, and Kendra moved out of the mansion, Hefner got three new girlfriends: Crystal Harris, Karissa Shannon, and Kristina Shannon, who you can see on season 6 of The Girls Next Door. Holly, Bridget, and Kendra, are still seen in some episodes of season 6.
In early 2010 Hefner ended his relationship with Karissa and Kristina because they wanted to do promotional things for Playboy, so they moved into the Playmate House across the street from the Playboy Mansion. Crystal remained Hefner's only girlfriend.
After a few months at the Playmate house, the Twins moved out. Hefner decided to propose to Crystal on December 24, 2010. Five days before there their June 2011 wedding, Crystal decided to call of the nuptials and move out of the mansion. She is currently dating Jordan McGraw, son of Dr. Phil. Karissa is currently dating Sam Jones III, who she has been dating for over a year, while Kristina is also seeing someone.
Hefner currently has two new girlfriends: Anna Berglund, Miss January 2011 and Shera Bechard, Miss November 2010. Unfortunately, there is no new Girls Next Door episodes in the works but all six seasons of the show can be bought on DVD.
