Hugh Hefner’s bunnygirls made a tribute to the UK last night by dressing in special Union Jack costumes during their Mayfair launch party.
The girls still made sure to keep their bunny ears and bow ties on though, as they attended the opening of the Playboy Club in central London.
Despite being surrounded by his bunnies, Hefner only had eyes for his number one girlfriend Crystal Harris, 25, who he plans to marry this month.

The 85-year-old chief creative officer of Playboy Enterprises decided to re-open his Playboy Club in Mayfair, thirty years after it was closed down in London.
But despite women’s rights groups protesting outside the club, claiming it’s demeaning to women, Hefner and his bunnies were all smiles last night.

MobyLives eyewitness report: World Book Night
by Melville House
Trafalgar Square
As the official British correspondent for MobyLives, this weekend I attended the wonderful launch of World Book Night to report back to our readers on the festivities. The opening ceremony took place on Friday 4th March in Trafalgar Square, with a line-up of authors including Nick Cave, John le Carre, Sarah Waters and many others. The set-up was pretty spectacular, with a stage under Nelson’s Column furnished to look like a cosy sitting room full of couches and even a fireplace which, unfortunately for the night’s readers, was not real.
By 6pm Trafalgar Square was filled with people eagerly waiting for the start of the night, which was briefly introduced by Jamie Byng, the brains behind World Book Night and head of Canongate Books. The idea behind the evening was for authors to read from either their own work or from their favourite texts. The first author to kick off the proceedings was Australian writer DBC Pierre, author of Booker Prize-winning Vernon God Little, who decided to read from the opening of Charles Dickens’ Bleak House. Given the rapidly dropping temperature of the evening, it was an appropriate choice, but what was even more striking was the hush that spread across the crowd as he started reading.

St Paul’s turns (RED) to mark World Aids Day
01 December 2010
St Paul’s joins more than 80 landmarks across 13 countries to promote awareness of the ongoing fight against the AIDS pandemic, by turning the dome red to mark World AIDS Day on 1st December.
The campaign is to highlight the attainable goal of ending mother-to-child transmission of HIV by 2015, creating the first generation in 30 years of babies born HIV-free.
Individuals can show their support and help turn the world (RED) by sending images and words of support via the social networks; Facebook, FourSquare, Meet-ups and Twitter. (RED) will aggregate this information on a global map, displaying all posts alongside the landmarks, with the hope of turning the map of the world (RED), to represent the world’s support of the 2015 goal. Fittingly, the innovative technology behind the map visualisation, called ‘Ushahidi’, stems from an open source project born in Africa for use in crisis response.
