And the legend of the notorious Playboy Mansion slowly dies  These days, bunnies and ­playmates are more likely to be asked to join Hef in a gentle game of tennis than a romp in the hot tub. Lol


In an exclusive interview with the Mail, the 24-year-old Carla and Melissa twins and former bunnies,  who split their time between the £34million ­Californian mansion and the UK, tell how the recession, 88-year-old Hefner’s latest marriage and his increasing frailty have all combined to make his empire, and the man,  a shadow of its former self.

The girls said there are three movie nights a week, mostly featuring his favourite films from the 1950s. And any inmate who wants to leave in search of a social life is subject to a strict 9pm curfew.

But surely the infamously lusty Hefner is still hopping from bunny to bunny behind the scenes?

After all, former Playmate Kendra Wilkinson recently revealed in the Celebrity jungle how she had to get “very drunk and very stoned” to endure sex sessions with the ­octogenarian tycoon 10 years ago.

According to the twins, age, ill health and his two-year marriage to model Crystal Harris, 28, have finally made a faithful husband out of Hef.



“I’m really relieved,” says Carla. “In the past he would have slept with all the girls.

“We’ve heard stories about him having 16 girls in the grotto and once he’d finished they would be passed on to the next man there. But now it’s not like that. To be honest, he’s so old now I couldn’t imagine him trying to make a move. He has to walk with people around him because he’s frail," they said.

Seriously though, he is 88 years old. I am surprised they still expect the baba to be thinking of sex when he has one leg in the grave. The man has been old for as long as I can remember, so they should let him rest.
