Even though Peepshow was dark, it was still one heckuva busy day for its blonde bombshell star -- and our contributing photographers were kept exceptionally busy, as well, with all her stops. E! Entertainment cameras trailed Holly Madison yesterday on a nearly nonstop day of filming for her new reality TV show Holly’s World that starts airing the second week of June.

Before starting her marathon shoot day, everybody’s favorite showgirl and Las Vegas’ Sweetheart fueled up at First Food & Bar in the Palazzo with her on-camera crowd. They piled on the calories with fish and chips and cheesesteak dumplings, among other items. Holly hit the restaurant’s photo booth and had a great time taking photos with her pals.

Then it was time to burn off the calories with work. Our contributing photographers Erik Kabik and Scott Harrison were at Minus 5 Ice Lounge at Mandalay Place for our first photo gallery. Holly helped prepare a new signature drink named after her that’s called Holly Mad-Ice-Son, and it’s even served in a glass made of ice.

Holly’s friends Laura Croft and Joyce Bonelli were there to sample it and pronounced it a winner. The girls were given warm wraps to prevent shivers in the igloo, and our photographers miraculously managed to stop the camera lens from steaming. A penguin even stopped by for the shoot.

Holly’s second stop was at the Fourth Annual Jennifer Harman Charity Poker Tournament at The Venetian to benefit the Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Holly’s Peepshow co-star Josh Strickland posed on the red carpet with her along with the pets they love and are trying to save. The adorable pictures make up our second photo gallery.

Then without a minute to spare, Holly was off again, this time for bobblehead night at Cashman Field for the Las Vegas 51s game against the Fresno Grizzlies. Another of Holly’s gal pals, Angel Porrino, and her 11-month-old son Roman joined them.

Our contributing photographers Tom Donoghue and Scott and Vegas DeLuxe video fan Richard Corey were ready when Josh sang the national anthem and Holly threw out the first pitch. They caught all the action for our third and fourth photo galleries, and fans of Holly and the 51s also received autographed Holly bobblehead dolls.

Even after all the hectic stops and filming, Holly was ready for more. “It’s been an exhausting day, but a lot of fun, and that’s what Holly’s World is all about. We shot a lot of great TV, and Las Vegas gets terrific exposure, too!”
