Former Playboy model Izabella St. James is weighing in on Holly Madison and why she is opening up about being Hugh Hefner’s girlfriend now. St. James’ abridged theory: Holly’s a pathetic, creepy, weirdo liar who’s just bitter because she was the one who had to please Hefner sexually. Yup, this is gonna be good … According to Kendra Wilkinson, Holly is out for revenge because she was cut out of Hef’s will. But Izabella thinks it goes even deeper than that. Sort of literally in some cases, if you follow. About Holly, whose book Down the Rabbit Hole makes some startling allegations about Hefner and Playboy , Izabella says her motive is clear: “She is selling the book by making outrageous claims, doing tell-all interviews where she says he degraded her and calls it the house of horrors.” “If it was the house of horrors,” Izabella adds , then Madison, rather than Hefner’s victim, “was the most willing and happy participant of it all.” Izabella believes Holly’s crazy claims stem from bitterness over being ostracized from the “core” Bunny group, referring them to the “cool kids.” After Madison was shunned as Hef’s “favorite” girl, St. James says, she became so desperate that she began emulating everything Hugh did. And doing anything he wanted to do. To her. According to Izabella, 39, Hef just wasn’t that into Holly, 35, even though Madison did everything to get him back into her any way she could. Holly was allegedly an active participant in orgies ending wth Hef “finishing off himself,” as well as the only willing participant in more sex acts. Back door and more, intrusive sex toys, you name it – Holly was willing to do whatever it took to please her man, and she’s bitter as a result. Izabella says, “She had to take one for the team, and she always did, and we have seen her do some extremely humiliating things sexually.” “I think part of her bitterness and humiliation and vengefulness comes from that. It was very belittling and she was the only one who did that.” Even the other bunnies were appalled, she says: “I think everyone looked down on it and looked down on her for having to be in that position.” Ironically, Izabella St. James is sort of doing the exact thing that she accuses Madison of when she sells her out to the media in this fashion. St. James’ comments are eye-opening, for sure, but could she be just a tiny bit bitter and desperate herself that she wasn’t Hef’s #1 girlfriend? Maybe not, in retrospect, given the sex with Hugh Hefner … but with all the mind games going on behind closed doors, you do have to wonder.
They may have both rallied to support Caitlyn Jenner Wednesday night, but Brody Jenner‘s feud with Kim Kardashian continues to this day. While Caitlyn Jenner’s ESPY Awards speech was the main story, as it should be, an interesting subplot was playing out behind the scenes. A familiar one, to boot, for the Kardashian and Jenner families. Brody Jenner has never been a big Kim Kardashian fan, and has been pissed at her ever since she didn’t give him a plus-one for her wedding. It’s not just about that, of course, but that was the final straw after years of mistrust between Brody and Kris Jenner, and Kris’ cash cow Kim. “Brody didn’t even speak to Kim backstage,” an insider said . “Brody thinks Kim is just beyond fake, and wants nothing to do with her. He was thankful that she didn’t bring brooding Kanye to the ceremony.” Brody made his feelings clear when he posted the above picture, taken backstage, to his Instagram account, calling it a “family photo.” Notice the lack of people named Kardashian in said photo. His half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner were featured, along with Caitlyn’s other kids, Burt, Brandon, Cassandra, and their significant others. Also, N.Y. Giants star Odell Beckham Jr. for some reason. It was a triumphant moment for Caitlyn, who earned a standing ovation while accepting the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the annual event. Brody shunned Kim and will likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future, but in fairness, he did offer kind words to one of his step-siblings. “Brody offered support to Kourtney because he has talked to Scott and knows about the struggles he has been dealing with,” the source said. “But Kourtney was basically nonplussed by Brody’s words.” It could be worse. At least Brody and Kim bothered to show up (and kept their issues separate) to support Cait … looking at you, Rob Kardashian.

Did Caitlyn Jenner Steal An ESPY Award From Amputee Veteran Athlete Noah Galloway? As news of Bruce Jenner’s transition to Caitlyn continues to make waves around the world, there hare been a wide range of responses , from supportive to not so much so… But some of the most outraged reactions appear to be over the announcement that Caitlyn will receive The Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPY’s — particularly after rumors hit Twitter that a very accomplished disabled vet had been passed over for the award: According to Snopes reports — the source of the rumors appear to be this man — who also happens to think Bruce picked a stupid name. So, what’s the real story? Did Caitlyn shimmy past Noah to the front of the line for the ESPY or nah? Via Snopes: In a statement dated 2 June 2015, ESPN executive producer Maura Mandt said of their decision to recognize Jenner with an ESPY: Bruce [Jenner] has received many accolades over the years for being one of the greatest Olympians of our time, but The ESPYS are honored to celebrate Bruce becoming Caitlyn. She has shown the courage to embrace a truth that had been hidden for years, and to embark on a journey that may not only give comfort to those facing similar circumstances, but can also help to educate people on the challenges that the transgender community faces. Jenner was quoted in the release as well, citing Arthur Ashe (the African-American tennis star for whom the ESPY Courage Award was named) as a personal hero of hers. (Incidentally, the document also stated that Jenner’s transition from Bruce to Caitlyn officially occurred on 15 March 2015): In the past few months, the overwhelming outpouring of support from all over the world for my journey has been incredible. However, being honored with this award, which is named after one of my heroes, is truly special. For the first time this July, I will be able to stand as my true self in front of my peers. However, none of the content of ESPN’s press release mentioned Noah Galloway (or Lauren Hill) by name as possible contenders for the 2015 Arthur Ashe Courage Award. The idea that Galloway was specifically passed over in favor of Jenner appeared to have stemmed from a joke made by a Twitter user (who also mocked Jenner’s choice of name). While it’s true Jenner is set to receive the ESPY award in question in July 2015, it does not appear any “runner up” was announced or bypassed in favor of Jenner. More likely is a scenario under which ESPN held their press release until Jenner had publicly revealed her new name and likeness, at which time the network (in a manner likely predetermined based on Jenner’s pending announcement) released a document containing information that was up until that day closely protected. There you have it folks. Don’t get your panties or boxer briefs in a knot. Caitlyn has been the intended winner of the Arthur Ashe all along. In the meantime you can nominate Noah Galloway for the Male Choice Athlete category of the Teen Choice awards HERE . Twitter/Vanity Fair/Men’s Health
