Hugh Hefner’s Main Squeeze, Holly Madison, Moves Up And Out

Spotted tooling around sans her octogenarian love puppet in both LA and Las Vegas, rumors are swirling that Playboy girlfriend #1, Holly Madison, is ditching Hef and his mansion. The gossip comes following the revelations earlier this month that both Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson, Holly’s co-stars [and girlfriends number 2 and 3] on E!’s The Girls Next Door, are leaving the protective wing of Hef to star in their own spin-off shows.

Corvette ZHZ in the Hertz Fun Collection

Hertz had so much success with the rent-racer version of the Mustang, the Shelby Mustang GT-H, that they decided to team up with General Motors to add the Chevy Corvette to its Fun Collection.

The limited-edition rent-only version Corvette ZHZ is equipped with the standard 6.2-liter V8 that puts out 436 horsepower, and a paddle-shifted six-speed automatic transmission. You can pick between Tour and Sport modes for a customized ride as well.

Outside, the vehicle is finished with the traditional Hertz yellow and tad silly looking black go-faster stripe right down the middle that starts at the badge on the nose. It also has 18-inch front and 19-inch rear chrome seven-spoke performance wheels.

Hertz says 500 ZHZ models are available at the airports locations in 24 metropolitan cities. So if you’re going on vacation, and have $170 a day to spend on a car, check it out, it seems like a fun drive.
