Rebound! Hef is dating a new Playboy model, 25-year-old Anna Sophia Berglund. She was Playmate of The Month in January, and you will find this absolutely shocking, but she is blonde. Apparently she and Hef are already calling each other “babe,” although it’s possible that from time to time she may slip up and call him “bank.” She’s moved into Hef’s room, and on movie night, they were seen kissing and cuddling. I almost typed “curdling,” which somehow also seems possible. [Showbiz Spy, TMZ]
BTW: On Saturday night — the evening her wedding would have taken place — Hef’s ex-fiancée Crystal Harris went to a pool party in Las Vegas. Holly Madison weighs in: “That’s a new low. That’s disgusting, and whoever booked her is tacky.” [People]

Just let this sink in: “The A-list celebrity ‘of substantial fame internationally’ who allegedly gave a Las Vegas visitor herpes has settled the case for just over $5 million.” This unnamed celebrity — a male — allegedly lured the plaintiff into a hotel room, where there was “mutual oral copulation, mutual self-gratification, rubbing and massaging each other, play-wrestling, licking and [unprotected] intercourse.” And it was videotaped. The plaintiff claims that the celebrity knew all along that he had herpes, and was giving the plaintiff herpes, but since the suit has been settled we may never know the identity of the star. Just insist on a fucking condom, people. [TMZ]
