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).

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!

Does the name Russ Meyer ring a bell? Decorated World War II cameraman, nude photographer, controversial screenwriter, celebrated satirist, all good stuff…but to a majority of America he’ll always be known as the Godfather of the modern sex flick! And to help celebrate a true Playboy legend, we’re airing five of his most famous films this March on Playboy TV!

Born nearly 90 years ago, Mr. Meyer and Playboy have had a long and storied relationship. Going all the way back to the 1950’s and the infancy of the bunny brand, his photography work with Hef helped launch the magazine. Over the years he shot dozens of nude centerfolds (including one of his own wife!), but that was only the beginning.

Ever wonder who would be your “dream” guests at a high stakes poker party? Maybe a couple of pro card sharks to teach you a few new tricks? Some razor-sharp comedians to keep the table fun and lively? Or how about a few gorgeous pieces of eye candy on either side of your stack? Thankfully legendary TV producer and Simpsons’ co-creator, Sam Simon, thinks the way WE do and he lined up a table full of celebrity players we’d all want to ante up with. Welcome to SAM’S GAME, a Playboy poker experience unlike anything you’ve ever seen. First off, it’s in the heart of Sin City at Hef’s exclusive sky villa at the Las Vegas Palms. Secondly, instead of middle-aged, no personality card dealers, we’re getting our pocket Aces and martinis from smoking hot models in bunny outfits.
