Holly Breaks Up with Hef

Submitted by Meg Wilson on October 7, 2008 - 13:08.

Holly Madison, age 28, has been living with Hugh Hefner, age 82, at the Playboy mansion for seven years. But now she's moving on, and has already moved out and into her own condo.

They will still be filming "The Girls Nex Door" for one more season. But as far as their relationship goes, it's over.

Holly wanted marriage and kids and Hefner did not.

"I love [Holly] very much, but she wants very much to get married and have children, but that isn’t in the cards for me," says Hugh. "So there has to be a certain reality there. And I’m sure the time will come when she’ll be dating others. That’s part of the transition."

As TMZ.com puts it;

"If a love affair between a 28-year-old woman and an 82-year-old man can't work, what hope is there for the rest of us?"

Pictures of Aging People

Calvin Tomkins interviews Elizabeth Peyton, age 42, in this week's New Yorker. Peyton is a painter whose work is being exhibited at the New Museum of Contemporary Art starting tomorrow in New York.

Tomkins asks her what she got from reading "In Search of Lost Time".

"It was in the last volume", Peyton says, after some reflection. "The narrator goes to a party, and sees these people who have been in his life, and they've aged and so has he. But because of his memories he realizes that all times are present in the same time. This made so much sense to me."

Tompkins goes on to say that Peyton's portrait paintings involve "a complete absence of irony and cynicism, the twin pillars of postmodern style". Check out some of her art here.
