Kristina and Karissa Shannon are no longer identical twins after a series of bad plastic surgery jobs. The "Girls Next Door" sisters, who famously moved into the Playboy mansion in 2008, are enlisting the help of "Botched" doctors Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif to fix their noses and boobs. In a sneak peek for Tuesday's episode of the E! show, the Shannon twins talk about their painful plastic surgery past. "We got criticized a lot about our noses, about how small our boobs were," they explain in the video. "We felt like flat-chested twin boys." "We felt intimidated and wanted to fit in," they added. "We were thrown into the spotlight and judged by everybody at such a young age, and we felt self conscious." Because of all the scrutiny, the ladies went under the knife and were sent into what they call the "clone machine." Unfortunately, they didn't have a great experience,...

You might have seen this one coming, folks: Courtney Stodden has a sex tape.
The barely legal reality star, who got famous for marrying 52-year-old actor Doug Hutchison when she was just 16 years old, confirmed to E! News that after she turned 18 years old she made a very personal home movie.
Stodden confirmed to E! that she has a sex tape, that it features "just me" and that it was shot shortly after her 18th birthday last year. "I turned 18 in August, so you do the math."
Alas, inquiring minds are out of luck because Stodden says her sex tape is totally private and neither "out in the media" nor on her computer. "Hackers, don't even go there cause you'll find nothing," she said. She added, "I don't want to put any images in people's mind; I'm gonna leave it up to you guys to think what you want."

Hugh Hefner is the original Playboy, and the magazine's founder reveals he's made a lot of notches in his bedpost over the years. Somehow, we're not surprised.
In a new interview with Esquire, the 86-year-old confesses to sleeping with thousands of women over the years.
"How could I possibly know? Over a thousand, I'm sure," Hefner replied when asked how many women he's taken to bed in his lifetime. "There were chunks of my life when I was married, and when I was married I never cheated. But I made up for it when I wasn't married. You have to keep your hand in."
Hefner was first married in 1949 to a Northwestern University student named Mildred Williams, with whom he has two children -- Christie and David -- before divorcing in 1959.
It would be another 40 years before Hefner would marry again -- giving him ample time to bed the thousands...

Karissa Shannon revealed that she was sick of Norcross and Frankie Cocozza's behaviour towards them in the house, and the pair mocked Cocozza's bad-boy image, calling him "Justin Bieber".

Speaking in the bedroom, Karissa said: "Ever since we've stepped into this house, the boys have been horny. All they do is talk about whacking off.

Reservoir Dogs star Michael Madsen has been placed under 24-hour observation - he has become a contestant on British reality show Celebrity Big Brother.
The Hollywood star, who has also appeared in Sin City and Kill Bill, walked into the house on Thursday night, insisting his stay would be like a previous stint in rehab.
He quipped, "I don't know f**k all about Big Brother. But it's gonna be like rehab without the doctors."
Madsen was joined by Playboy twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon and British rapper Romeo Dunn.
U.K. soap stars Natalie Cassidy and Denise Welch were also among the star contestants, while retired, gay rugby star Gareth Thomas, who is to be portrayed on the big screen by Mickey Rourke, is also part of the new season's line-up.

Questions to ponder as I dive into this, a review of the complete series.
What started out as a focus on Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson (and naturally Hugh Hefner), soon shifted to Crystal Harris and twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon.
