Is Hugh Hefner a cuddly, sweet septuagenarian or an evil slave master? The New York Post reports that professional poker player Jill Ann Spaulding claims in a self-published book that the Playboy caliph keeps a dozen "slave bunnies" who are ordered to have sex with him (for $2,000 a week).

"Jill Ann: Upstairs," which details the former Playboy model's brief time behind Playboy Mansion doors, also says the mansion "isn't Barbie's Dreamhouse, but a brokerage house where dangerous sex is traded for stardom." A brokerage house?

Hefner, who has gotten a pass from the media for decades, shrugged it all off, saying "it's a silly book." He added that Spaulding is disgruntled because he rejected her request to live at the mansion.
