Getting wild and crazy can boost the career of an actor or comedian like Bradley Cooper or Zach Galifianakis, but apparently not a weatherman like John Bolaris.

The Philadelphia weatherman for a Fox affiliate has been fired after Playboy published a first-hand account he gave describing a wild weekend in Miami where he was drugged by the Russian mob.

Looks like headquarters is moving closer to Uncle Hugh!

Since its start in 1953, Playboy has centered around Chicago. Now after Hugh Hefner bought back the company and moved the art and editing departments to El Lay, the whole shibang is coming to the City of Angels.

Is anyone leasing a giant building around town?x

Do you spend hours and hours sitting there imagining what kinds of resolutions Hugh Hefner makes?

Maybe you shouldn't, because that doesn't sound healthy! Ha!

Anyway, even after the crazy year he's had with Crystal Harris leaving him and all, we're still a little bit to surprised to hear that his resolution this year is to stay a bachelor — forever!

Here's what he said:

Lindsay Lohan's Playboy may not be selling too well in stores…but the mag sold VERY well with advertisers!

According to MagazineRadar, Lindsay's issue of Playboy sold 55% more ad pages than the same issue one year before, which resulted in a grand total of 49 ad pages being purchased in the mag!

The only other issue of Playboy in recent years that sold more ad pages was

Interesting choice!

Waaay back in January, we heard that James Franco was in talks to reunite with Howl filmmakers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman for their upcoming Linda Lovelace biopic, which is now called Lovelace.

At the time, he was in negotiations to star as Linda's husband/pornographer/producer Chuck Traynor, but NOW we're hearing that he's in talks to cameo as Hugh Hefner in the film.

As we heard previously, Peter Sarsgaard is set to take over the role of Chuck Traynor, and the Linda Lovelace role will be played by Lindsay Lohan Amanda Seyfried.

We can definitely get behind these casting choices! Sure, it would have been cool to see James in a more substantial role, but we have a feeling he'll bring something special to the table as Hef!

What do U think? Will James Franco be a good Hugh Hefner???

The 2010 Playmate of the Year, Hope Dworaczyk, who apparently said when asked what she thought of Lindsay Lohan's Playboy spread:

"I saw that spread … and I was not impressed. I just feel like if I would have known I was doing a Playboy shoot, I would have worked out more maybe."

ME-OW!

Not very nice!

Personally, we thought Lindsay looked pretty good, or at least Photoshop made her look good!

What do U think?? Thumbs up or down on Lindsay's pictorial?

We can understand his hesitation, but we're sure he's pretty grateful for making the choice that he did now!

Hugh Hefner recently opened up about Lindsay Lohan's nude pictorial in Playboy, and revealed that despite being unsure of whether or not he wanted to involve himself with her, given her, ahem, 'erratic' behavior, he's ultimately very happy with the way everything turned out!

He explains:

"It really came as a surprise to me. I kind of had mixed emotions about it initially, and then it turned into something bigger than life. I wasn't quite sure where she was at in her life, obviously. It depends on whether it's Tuesday or Thursday. The pictorial and the concept for the pictorial came from me. She had done semi-nudes before. I wanted to do something that would be memorable. So what is more natural, since she is a huge fan of Marilyn Monroe, than do something that is a tribute to the red-velvet, Tom Kelley photo shot of Marilyn Monroe that was our very first Playmate? I think it was essentially mama and the folks around her that kept pushing for less nudity. And I said, ‘We're doing a nude pictorial here. We're going to do it in a very classy way and we're going to do it in a way in which it will not be forgotten.' I think it was accomplished beyond anything I could have possibly imagined. People will not forget this pictorial. It became a stocking stuffer!"

Ha! Everyone knows that the true testament to success is making it as a stocking stuffer!
