It's congratulations to Playboy founder Hugh Hefner
who has been given a lifetime achievement award at the Los Angeles Press Club’s fourth annual National Entertainment Journalism Awards Gala.
The legendary 85-year-old was presented with the honour last Thursday in California.
Press Club President Will Lewis heaped praise on the Playboy editor-in-chief, insisting, “Hefner’s footprint on American popular culture is huge. For almost 60 years, Playboy has been on the leading edge in shaping positive attitudes on civil rights, gay rights, as well as human sexuality.”
In related news, the Hef
touched on the upcoming January/ February 2012 edition of the magazine which will feature Lindsay Lohan in the buff.
"The pictorial is absolutely fantastic and very tasteful, and will be accompanied by an interview that will let readers see another side of Lindsay."
Hugh Hefner seconds that, telling The Insider that the spread has a retro theme. "It's a classic tribute inspired by the original Tom Kelly nude pictorial of Marilyn Monroe, a portion of which was the original playmate in the very first issue of Playboy."
Does she bare all? "Oh yes," Hef tells The Insider. "And classy, very classy."
