The Girls Next Door are back!

The Girls Next Door are back, taking viewers for a second ride through the gates of the fabled Playboy Mansion and into the secret world of an American legend who has captivated the imagination of millions.  Leading lady Holly Madison, scholastic Bridget Marquardt and sports fanatic Kendra Wilkinson guide the tour and give people a close look at life in the Playboy Mansion as only they can show it.  In the hour-long premiere episode, the girls help Hef celebrate his 80th birthday, but what do you get the man who really does have everything? The first season took off with great success, quickly becoming one of E!’s highest rated originals.  Most impressively, the show attracted a large female following, with premieres more than doubling E!’s average with women 18-34. 

This season brings an even more personal look into the lives of Holly, Bridget and Kendra, kicking off with Hef’s huge celebrity birthday bash, including names like The Donald and Ivanka Trump, Paris Hilton, Academy-Award winners Three 6 Mafia, Owen Wilson and many more.  The girls also spend time contemplating their life goals and careers, even convincing Hef to let them take over the creative side of the September Playboy cover shoot, a first for the magazine.  And how will Hef react when Holly starts thinking about having a child with the 80-year-old icon? 

Life is always an adventure for Hef and the girls, as this season takes viewers on a journey through Europe with them, kicking up trouble in London, Rome and the romantic French city of Paris.  There are always parties at the Mansion, and this season is the Playmate of the Year Luncheon, which Holly turns into a slumber party, complete with gag gifts, “truth or dareâ€? games and Playmates.  And to top off the season, the girls go to Vegas for a blowout birthday extravaganza for Kendra’s 21st!
