Brett Ratner’s Playboy biopic is no longer in development.

For Playboy’s November 2017 issue, model Ines Rau will make her second appearance in the magazine, but this time she will grace the centerfold as its Playmate, the first transgender woman to ever hold that title.

Playboy.com remembers its founder Hugh Hefner today. So does PlayboyEnterprises.com. Both homepages are static, the former depicting the above image and quote, the latter a press release outlining Hefner’s many accomplishments. It’s a mourning slightly at odds with the impulses of the person they’re remembering;…

Hugh Hefner, who founded the legendary Playboy in 1953, a magazine whose at times scintillating writing has been eclipsed by its photoshoots, died of natural causes at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles on Wednesday. He was 91.

Ah, Playgirl, an idea that despite being a perfect artifact of the 1970s was nevertheless before its time. (Its time being the point at which technology had advanced sufficiently to allow slow-motion pornographic GIFs on Tumblr.) How did such a thing come to be, how did it work, and where did it go?

A story which, as we noted yesterday, has been blowing up from the bowels of The National Enquirer: A-Rod has allegedly been sexting an ex-girlfriend behind J.Lo’s back, and TMZ reports that sext-ee Lauren Hunter is threatening to extort him for $600,000. Nothing, of course, is going to top the Anthony Weiner story;…

Playboy’s 2015 Playmate of the Year Dani Mathers, who secretly photographed a 70-year-old woman at her gym and posted it publicly to Snapchat with the caption “If I can’t unsee this then you can’t either” last July, pleaded no contest to misdemeanor invasion-of-privacy charges in May.

In July 2016, Playboy model Dani Mathers—crowned Playmate of the Year in 2015—committed a grotesque violation of privacy by secretly photographing a naked, 70-year-old woman at the gym and posting it to Snapchat. The photograph includes a blithely cruel caption, “If I can’t unsee this then you can’t either” and, for…

American Playboy: The Hugh Hefner Story is a “docuseries” that blends documentary and scripted television, a product of the increasingly blurred lines between narrative and documentary genres. According to Amazon, it is “the result of unprecedented access to thousands of hours of never-before-seen footage from both…

In late 2015, Playboy announced it would be a nudie mag no more. Their final issue featuring nipples and vag shots came out in January/February 2016, with Pamela Anderson on the cover, signifying the end of an era. It’s now the end of the new era.

Two decades after the last Playboy Clubs closed in the U.S., the company has plans to bring them back, starting with a location on West 42nd Street in New York City, aka the tourist capital of America.

Following several months of reported success at the newsstand since they dropped fully nude women from appearing in the magazine, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner has stepped down from his position of Chief Creative Officer due to reportedly ailing health (the dude is 90 after all).

Need an image to keep you from becoming sexually aroused, eating, sleeping, or going outside for a while? Here it is: Donald Trump appeared in a Playboy softcore porn video and it wasn’t even the ’90s anymore.

Marla Maples, Donald Trump’s second wife, has received a minor resurgence of fame since Trump’s presidential campaign proved it had grotesque legs. She has thus far refused to speak negatively about her ex-husband, which seems undeservingly patient of her.

Presidential candidate and fire ant infestation with too many resources Donald Trump has made a name for himself via his misogyny, which he’s repeatedly defended by saying that since he’s hired women to work for him, he’s looking out for their interests.

In June, it was announced that the Playboy mansion had been sold to a very nice boy named Daren. Daren is billionaire who has been associated with re-branding, owning, and selling a bunch of the everyday products sitting in your cabinets. Chef Boyardee. Ghirardelli Chocolate. Bumble Bee Tuna. Twinkies. Pabst Blue…

Dani Mathers was 2015's Playmate of the Year. She has won an award for being hot, which maybe is what made her feel qualified to decide who deserves privacy in the gym and who should be mocked for having a body unlike hers. Now she’s fired, and otherwise in trouble.

Our hopes of a reality TV show involving Hugh Hefner and Larry Flynt rattling acrimoniously around the crumbling Playboy Mansion have been dashed. Turns out Hef’s next-door neighbor is just gonna buy the place. Boring!

Donald Trump may or may not have out-Trumped his own ego at a rally on April 25, in which he signed an issue of Playboy which features our least-favorite walking irradiated tumor on the cover.
