As the star of Las Vegas' Peepshow revue, Holly Madison strips down to just a thong and shimmies her way across the stage six nights a week. But flash back eight years, when taking off her top was a major no-no for Holly. "I always stuffed my bra," she confided to Life & Style before her Aug. 21 performance. "In fact, I had a boyfriend for years, and we moved so slowly. We didn't have sex for a long time because I had to gradually bring down my bra size so he wouldn't find out I stuffed my bra!"

While Holly had wanted bigger boobs since high school, it wasn't until after she began dating Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and moved into his Bunny-filled LA mansion that she finally got breast implants, in 2001. "Living with Hef brought down my self-esteem a lot," she tells Life & Style. "I was comparing myself to the other girls. Hef always said he didn't want me to get anything done." But in 2003, the bombshell had rhinoplasty. Holly hadn't thought twice about her nose until she started getting photographed at her new digs.

Once she'd captured her dream physique, the 5-foot-7 stunner began steadily claiming the spotlight. She starred in the E! reality show The Girls Next Door, landed a spot on season eight of Dancing With the Stars and now headlines Peepshow. "Plastic surgery made it easier for me to get things I wanted in my career," says Holly, 30. "Without it, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Star of The Girls Next Door and bride-to-be Kendra Wilkinson is planning her dream wedding - with the help of co-star and former roommate Bridget Marquardt!

"I'm a bridesmaid in the wedding," Bridget told Life & Style at the opening of Jane's House lounge in LA on May 15. "This week, Kendra and I are going to work on some details together and scout locations. I can't wait!"

As for Kendra's dress, it seems she's having trouble making up her mind! "She went shopping on the show with her friends and they picked out a dress. But then she went shopping again with me [without cameras] and changed her mind on the dress. And then later she texted me and said, 'Guess what? I changed my mind again!' So I have no idea what her dress looks like now!"

But Bridget is thrilled with the bridesmaid dress Kendra chose: "It's very, very simple. The dress is lavender, strapless and straight. It's very pretty and elegant - assuming she kept the same one!" Kendra will have five bridesmaids, Bridget adds, including Holly Madison.

And how is Hugh Hefner involved in all of this? "The wedding is at the Playboy mansion, so he'll be there, of course!" Bridget says. "But her brother is going to walk her down the aisle."

Playboy chief Hugh Hefner confirms what Life & Style's exclusively reported last week: newlywed Heidi Montag, star of The Hills, is in talks to pose for his magazine.

"I think she is going to be," Hef told Hollyscoop.com at Playboy's 50th annual Playmate of the Year celebration on Saturday night when asked if Heidi would be posing.

Bridget Marquardt has a dream job: As the host of Travel Channel's upcoming Bridget's Sexiest Beaches, she's been really busy flying to exotic locales and hanging out on fabulous beaches in sexy bikinis.

But the Girls Next Door star did find time to talk to Life & Style about life now that she's no longer living in the Playboy Mansion as one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends.

"The only thing I have remotely hard feelings about is that we weren't even gone yet and all the pictures throughout the house were changed to the new girlfriends, and I thought, That's kind of rude," she says. "But Hef is so supportive of the show and of me dating, we are closer than ever."

Who is she dating? "I like some people," she says, "but I'm fresh out of the mansion, and we haven't been allowed to date this whole time, or not legally anyway. I'm not home much, and there are some people I think are cute and nice — no one famous or anything."

So her status is? "I would say I'm single," says Bridget.

Since splitting with 82-year-old Hugh Hefner recently, The Girls Next Door star Holly Madison has never looked more fresh-faced and beautiful. The inspiration behind her make-under? A new beau -- bad-boy illusionist Criss Angel -- and a new life, Holly tells Life & Style exclusively.

"I think the breakup is partially the reason," says the 30-year-old, who has traded her heavy foundation, fake lashes and lip gloss for just a hint of blush and eyeliner. "The truth is, I barely wear lip gloss anymore because I'm always making out with my boyfriend, so it comes off in two-and-a-half seconds," she says, adding with a laugh, "Apparently, I wasn't making out with Hef as much."

And Holly's new man, Criss, 40 -- star of the Las Vegas show Believe -- is all for her updated look. "He doesn't like me in a lot of makeup," says Holly, "and I appreciate that."
