Who doesn’t appreciate the elegance and glamour of a Playboy Playmate? Every year we get a gorgeous selection of 12 fold-out beauties, sharing their interests, their turn-ons, and their jaw-dropping bodies. But wouldn’t you like to see a little bit more? Well bunny fans, your centerfold ship has finally come in. This July Playboy TV is debuting the all-new series PLAYMATES! Oh yea, this show is so hot it deserves that extra exclamation point. What can you expect from PLAYMATES!? Well for one thing, you’ll be getting an intimate peek at the latest Miss of the Month (and we’ve got to admit, Miss July 2011 Jessa Hinton is a great one to get started with). But that’s only the beginning. There will also be behind-the-scenes footage from Playmate photo shoots, up-close interviews, and a special segment where we hand our latest bunnies a portable Flip Cam! And don’t worry all of you old school Playboy fans, we’ve got something special for you too. Every month, we’ll be featuring Playmate Flashback segments that catch up those lovely ladies from years’ past (c’mon you know you’ve got a few classic bunnies stored in those memory banks). PLAYMATES! will also feature Casting Calls footage from the mansion and tons of other previews of the centerfolds to come. Who knows, you may even spot a future superstar in the mix. Add to that, a My Favorite Playmate section, flashbacks of Playmates Of The Year, and plenty of Easter Eggs, and you’ve got pretty good idea of what PLAYMATES! has to offer. Sound like fun? Then make sure to catch the premiere of PLAYMATES!, Sunday July 3 at 9PM E/P!

Wind Down The Week With WORLD OF PLAYBOY!

Posted: Jan 01, 2011 - 10:12am by Playboy TV
Filed Under: TV For 2

And on the seventh day…Hef gave us WORLD OF PLAYBOY! We know the weekly grind can be rough on people. The long hours at work, the obligations with friends and family, the hang overs from Saturday night! That’s why Playboy TV makes sure every Sunday evening you’ve got a sexy Playmate waiting for you in the nine o’clock hour. Think of WORLD OF PLAYBOY as a soothing bit of eye candy before all of the hustle and bustle starts up again. For thirty sweet minutes, you can catch up on your favorite bunnies, get Playboy news, peek at Hef’s latest mansion parties, and more. Best of all, you’ll get a sneak preview of our newest Playmates before everyone else does! And we’re not talking about still pictorials here. Oh no, we’re talking full-frontal meet and greets with the latest centerfolds as they display all of the “talents” that got them into the magazine! And don’t forget, we’re right in the middle of selecting our newest Playmate Of The Year, so you KNOW there will be plenty of coverage on that. We like to picture WORLD OF PLAYBOY as the aged after-dinner liqueur you would sip while wearing your trademark smoking jacket (as opposed to BEACH HOUSE’s topless tequila shots). Classy and elegant, with just enough sexiness to bring you sweet dreams come Monday morning. Kick up your feet, light your pipe, and catch WORLD OF PLAYBOY Sundays at 9pm E/P.

It All Comes Down To This! The PLAYBOY SHOOTOUT Winner Gets Chosen May 29!

Posted: May 24, 2010 - 11:04am by Playboy TV
Filed Under: Playboy Shotout

What a wild season of PLAYBOY SHOOTOUT it has been. Who knew Playboy TV’s centerfold reality show would capture the attention of the country, the internet, and beyond?! From Yahoo News stories, to radio interviews, to an explosion of Tweets and Facebook messages, PLAYBOY SHOOTOUT has been our phenom of the season! And how could it not be? In between all the drama, the celebrity guests, and the Uncensored online auditions, there has literally never been a dull moment throughout the entire series. Sure we’ve had to say goodbye to some very memorable characters (don’t worry Dany, we’ll never forget your “monster truck”), but we’ve also been able to zero in on four competitors that have captured the eyes of the fans AND Mr. Hugh Hefner himself! Only he can make the final call on whether Olivia or Shanna makes it to the July issue of Playboy. And on May 29 at 10pm, that decision gets shared with the world! Crystal Harris, Kristina Shannon, and Karissa Shannon (aka The Girls Next Door) are coming down to the studio to hand off the verdict. The challenges are done, the pictures have been shot, and one model and one photographer are about to make Playboy history. We’re talking a full-blown centerfold spread, appearances in videos and Playmate Profiles, Cyber Girl galleries, and of course, the coveted title of Miss July 2010 (who knows she may even be our next Playmate Of The Year)! And as for our photographers Morgan and Kate…if getting your pictures published in Playboy magazine isn’t a springboard for a hot career, we don’t know what is! So who will the big winners be? We can’t drop any spoilers here, but we CAN say that the PLAYBOY SHOOTOUT finale is going to make for one of the most exciting televised moments we’ve ever aired! Don’t miss a minute of it, when the PLAYBOY SHOOTOUT winners get revealed, Saturday May 29 at 10PM E/P!

PLAYBOY SHOOTOUT: The Most Anticipated Playboy TV Show Of The Year!

Posted: Mar 22, 2010 - 10:36am by Playboy TV
Filed Under: Editorial Top Picks

How long have we been telling you about PLAYBOY SHOOTOUT? If you recall, way back in November we were Tweeting for recruits to apply for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And WOW, did we get a lot of responses! You remember the premise, right? A Playboy Idol type competition (if you will) that gives 10 amateur photographers and 10 amateur models the chance to actually make it into the pages of Playboy magazine! What guy hasn’t fantasized about being able to shoot Playmates for a living? What girl wouldn’t want to be showcased in the magazine and launch a career that’ll expose her to millions of fans. For both sides, taking a shot at PLAYBOY SHOOTOUT was simply a no-brainer. The hard part for us was actually sifting through the mountains of incredible submissions and narrowing the final list down to 20. We were obviously VERY impressed with all of the pix that showed up in our mailbox, but alas, 1,000 contestants would not make for a truly compelling showdown (there’s always Playboy TV CASTING CALLS for that). Instead, we’ve gathered the crème de la crème and sent them to our Malibu mansion for an exercise in talent, drama, and winner-take-all dedication. Imagine the feeling of meeting hostess (and former Playmate of the Year) Brande Roderick, getting mentored by legendary photographer Arny Freytag, and taking on challenges from a panel of judges that include Miss November ’04 Cara Zavaleta, Playboy camera god Stephen Wayda, and an array of guest celebrities! And believe us, this is no fluffy, lightweight reality show. We’re pairing each photographer and model into random teams and putting their skills to the test with timed shoots that require creativity, rapid-fire instincts, and an overflow of sexiness! You’ll never know what elements Brande will throw into the mix (motorcycles, bathtubs, fireballs), but if our teams can’t turn them into absolutely stunning pictorials, they’ll be shown the door! And as with all cutthroat competitions, there is definitely a fair share of backstabbing, catfighting, and temper tantrums to keep things entertaining. Ultimately, only 1 photographer and 1 centerfold will get Hef’s final thumbs up, and we are not kidding when we say you WILL be seeing them in the magazine, in the media, and beyond. So stay ahead of the Playmate curve, catch up on the buzz, and don’t miss the one-hour premiere of PLAYBOY SHOOTOUT, Saturday April 3 at 10PM!

PLAYBOY SHOOTOUT Wants To Make You Our Next Superstar!

Posted: Nov 05, 2009 - 12:47pm by Playboy TV
Filed Under: All Things Playboy

In case you haven't noticed, Playboy TV loves reality! No not the lame "trap over-the-hill ugly people on an island" type reality, we love sex-crazed adventures, hot stripper drama, and gorgeous bodies plucked from cities across America. That's what this network was built upon and we're proud to carry on the tradition with a new production guaranteed to make even more naked dreams come true. This month, we're officially kicking off the search for PLAYBOY SHOOTOUT, a hot new reality experiment reaching across all Playboy! For guys, it's a chance to live out your ultimate fantasy...as a real Playboy nude photographer! Imagine getting ahold of Hef's first class film equipment and capturing imagery of gorgeous girls for our magazine and website! For girls it's a shot at true bunny stardom. We're giving you the chance to join our rich history of stunning Playboy models and be seen by millions of our dedicated fans from around the world! Whatever your gender, this reality project's got something for everyone. Now granted, you do have to have a little talent to make the final cut. If your shutterbug skills consist of shooting party nights with disposable Kodak cameras, this may not be the best project for you. But, if you've got real talent behind the lens and think you can capture shadows, light, and gorgeous imagery of the female body, by all means Sign Up! Same goes for the ladies. We want girls who are serious about modeling and not afraid to "show a little skin" for the sake of art. If neither of these descriptions fit you, don't worry. You can still sit back and enjoy the process on Playboy TV when SHOOTOUT premieres in a few months. But if you want a shot, now's the time to take it! We're accepting applications until September 14, so CLICK HERE and send us your best photos now! Don't worry, we only want non-nudes (for the time being), but we're making decisions very quickly. Stay tuned to PlayboyTV.com for details on the show and good luck! Superstardom may just be one web page away.
