Over nine episodes, model/photographer pairs will compete against one another.  The winning duo will be featured in an upcoming issue of the magazine.  Filming will begin this fall and the show should hit the air sometime in the spring of 2010.

This is a great opportunity for aspiring photographers to have their work appear in one of the world’s most popular and iconic magazines.  Of course, what man wouldn’t want to spend their whole day taking pictures of hot, scantily clad women?  Plus, both the models and the photographers will benefit from the guidance of long-time Playboy Senior Contributing Photographers, Arny Freytag and Stephen Wayda.

If you are interested in applying as either a model or a photographer, visit www.playboy.com/shootout for more information and to submit their non-nude photos and resume. Submissions can also be sent directly to shootout@playboy.com. Email submissions must include applicant’s name, email address and phone number. Applicants must be 18 or older to apply. Subject lines should read PLAYBOY MODEL or PLAYBOY PHOTOGRAPHER. All submissions must be received by Monday, September 14, 2009.

To all those who apply – good luck!

Playboy TV Looking for Models and Photogs

The show follows the lives of Playboy editor-in-chief (and show creator), Hugh Hefner, and his three girlfriends, Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt, and Kendra Wilkinson.  The show is great because it gives you a behind-the-scenes look at some of the big events that take place at the Playboy Mansion, Playboy test shoots and then private functions like birthday parties.  It’s really interesting to see what it’s like to live there!

As you probably heard, things changed in the fifth season of the show with Bridget moving out to film her new series Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches, Kendra getting into a relationship with NFL player, Hank Baskett (they are now engaged to be married this June) and Holly wanting to leave because she wants to get married and have a family. The final moments of the season 5 finale show Karissa and Kristina Shannon taking their place as Hefner’s new girlfriends.

If you’re a fan of the show, you will want to get this DVD set since there will only be one more featuring Holly, Kendra and Bridget.

On DVD: “The Girls Next Door”

For the fifth year in a row ESPN2 filmed a boxing card at Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion and there was plenty of beautiful sights to see in between rows. The ESPN announcing team of Joe Tessitore and Teddy Atlas even commented on the many requests they had for press credentials.

Speaking of Teddy, we’ve really enjoyed the humor in his last few pre-match fight plans but none have delighted him more than the Julio Diaz feature that featured “Hugh Hefner’s youngest girlfriend” Kendra Wilkinson. If you missed it, check out Teddy’s wandering eyes and bad puns below. Btw, don’t listen to Kendra’s prognosticating advice. She’s no Jimmy the Greek. And thank heavens for that!
