0:00It's April 9th, I'm Cory with the story. This is Entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI and built for the culture. Hugh Hefner had cameras hidden all over the Playboy mansion, catching wild parties and hookups with celebs, politicians, and models. This comes out on what would have been his 100th birthday. Insiders say the guy who died at 91 in 2017 loved using that footage to blackmail folks for power and favors. A Playboy whistleblower spilled that cameras watched the grotto and game rooms 24-7, nabbing drug use and flings. Hef's ex-ballet from the late 1970s to early 80s confirmed Mike's and tiny cameras taped everything in his bedroom where stars and athletes hooked up with the girls hef just watched. Jennifer Saganore, who grew up there as the doc's daughter, backed it up, saying every room had eyes on and non-stop. This girlfriend, Holly Madison, now 46, feared a stash of revenge porn if she ever bounced with hef snapping naked pics of wasted women.

Meanwhile, Playboy's current crew distanced themselves hard. These stories paint a wild picture of control behind the glamour, leaving us wondering what else that mansion tape holds even today.
