Hugh Hefner's widow, Crystal Harris, has urged Jessica Biel not to play the Playboy founder's wife in a new movie about life in the mansion.
Earlier this week, it was announced that Biel had joined the cast of the new movie Playmates, inspired by writer/director Lorraine Nicholson's own experiences at the Playboy mansion during her childhood.
Harris DM'd Biel, and then shared that Instagram message on her grid, tagging the actor.
"Please reconsider playing Hugh Hefner's 'wife' if this film intends to romanticise him or the Playboy world," she wrote.
"I was actually his wife, and I experienced ***** ual, emotional, financial and physical abuse in that relationship. Many other women have come forward with allegations of rape, coercion, drugging and exploitation as well.
"There are also deeply troubling concerns involving minors. I hope everyone involved in this film takes the time to listen to the women who lived it before helping Hollywood turn it back into nostalgia."

There's a million uncles and aunts and cousins."

Julia Burch once worried that three inches, or perhaps a few more, could stand between her and the career she wanted.
Standing 5-foot-3, the Canadian creator dreamed of becoming a fashion model and admired stars like Bella Hadid. However, after early conversations with modeling agencies left her discouraged about her height, Burch eventually found another route into the spotlight, one that allowed her to build an audience on her own terms.
Long before social media became her career, Julia Burch had her sights set on the traditional modeling industry.
The creator told The Blast exclusively that she looked up to established models, including Bella Hadid, and wanted the opportunity to follow a similar path. Her height, however, quickly became a source of concern as she began exploring the industry.
At 5-foot-3, Burch found herself confronting expectations that made her question whether the career she imagined was even possible.

King Charles has headed to Scotland to start his summer break, and he was recently in Caithness in the Scottish Highlands. During his time there, he stayed at the Castle of Mey, as he traditionally does in late July and early August.
On this occasion, the King made a new addition to the home, planting the King's Rose in the gardens, which were previously cultivated by his late grandmother, the Queen Mother. Charles was pictured in the Walled Garden at the castle, which is located by the Pink Arbor.
In images from the King's Foundation, Charles was seen in a tweed jacket and kilt, while he carried a walking stick that he often employs when on the uneven ground of Scotland. He was seen standing by a vase that carried the King's Rose, which was bred by David Austin Roses and named in Charles' honour.
The semi-double, repeat-flowering shrub boasts delicately papery petals with distinct stripes in shades of fuchsia pink and white.

Queen Camilla is far from happy about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's return to the royal fold, but a source says King Charles III's wife is biting her tongue and deviously plotting ways to use the situation to her advantage.
"Camilla is a very shrewd woman," shares the source. "Everything she does is to serve her own interests and it's become clear that being loudly anti-Sussex is not going to go over well with the king, so she's very wisely smiling to their faces, but by no means is she truly welcoming their return."
That being said, "in many ways, they are the lesser of two evils for her because she knows Prince William is chomping at the bit to take over from his father," the source explains "When that happens, he's made it very clear Camilla's influence and status will be dramatically reduced."

Drake Von is facing even more serious legal troubles.
According to TMZ, the adult model is now in hot water in California after authorities arrested him for possessing a toxic substance in Los Angeles. This is now his 3rd run-in with the law in 2026 following a couple of serious charges in June.
Von, whose real name is Dawson Bacon, was busted Tuesday for misdemeanor possession of a substance similar to toluene, which is a colorless liquid that is highly toxic when inhaled and causes dizziness. Records show Von was released on Wednesday.
Last month, Von was charged on one count of misdemeanor DUI after reportedly crashing his car into another vehicle in Las Vegas. Photos released to TMZ even show the passenger door smashed in. The ****** star said he was sober during the crash, but nitrous was found in the vehicle.
Prior to his DUI, the actor was released on bail after he was arrested for allegedly strangling his partner. His charges include first-degree domestic battery, domestic battery by strangulation, and felony coercion constituting domestic violence with threat or use of physical force.

Ron Howard has spoken about the "regret" he has over his brother's addiction.
The filmmaker, 72, has told how his younger brother Clint, now 67, began experimenting with drugs and alcohol as a young adult.
"I had been really strictly controlled as a kid. My parents must have been worried about kidnapping and other things," Howard said in an interview on In Depth with Graham Bensinger.
"So I pushed mom and dad. To give him more freedom and more flexibility. And even when Clint was starting to smoke pot and things like that... I wasn't using any drugs, but I had really good friends who were and were highly functional and socially responsible about it. And I just I said, 'You know, this is not, it's not a nightmare. This is changing times, relax,' " he continued.
He revealed that in hindsight, he felt like "a voice kind of telling them to back off as parents," adding if they hadn't been so lenient, "they might have been able to do something." He admitted, "And so those are regrets that I have."
The Rush filmmaker said that looking back, "That was a difficult, heartbreaking time and thing to witness. It was terrifying, and I wasn't sure Clint was going to make it out. I don't think mom and dad were sure he was going to make it out."
