Platinum blonde beauty Holly Madison had time for one final free evening of playtime last night before she tackles an incredibly busy weekend and new work schedule. Today and over the weekend, Holly will wrap two weeks of intense rehearsals for the entire Peepshow cast as they reopen the saucy and sexy burlesque revue at Planet Hollywood on Monday night.

Now that former Spice Girl Mel B and pop singer Aubrey O’Day have left, Holly returns as the solo star of the cabaret performances and is joined by new dancers and singers, with former background singer Cheaza set to grab stardom in the lead role of Peep Diva.

“We’re all excited and revved up and ready to go,” Holly said. “We are all looking forward to making it hotter, sexier and more exciting than ever.”

We’ll be there on Monday to report the first night’s excitement and celebration.

As if the relaunch of Peepshow wasn’t enough, Holly also starts filming new episodes of her reality TV series Holly’s World next week, which will premiere on E! Entertainment with weekly broadcasts beginning in May. Since Peepshow went on hiatus in early January, Holly has used the time to write a book tentatively titled Single Girls Guide to a Good Time in Las Vegas to be published this summer and plan out the eight new TV shows.

She will race from rehearsals tomorrow evening to join me at the star-studded Keep Memory Alive gala at the Bellagio, which is the annual fundraising dinner and show for the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health downtown. New Paris headliner Barry Manilow is providing the entertainment.

Since last night was her final free evening before the upcoming weeks of a packed, around-the-clock work schedule, Holly decided to watch Cirque du Soleil and The Beatles Love at The Mirage. Her Peepshow co-star and American Idol alumnus Josh Strickland escorted her to the early show. Holly was decked out in feathery eyelashes and wore the same top to mark the time exactly three years ago that she first saw the spectacular with The Girls Next Door castmates Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt when Hugh Hefner took all three of them as his girlfriends.

Backstage, they met the cast of the show, including The Walrus played by Robin Peters, Dr. Robert played by Jimmie Cervera, Lady Madonna played by Khetanya Henderson and Love groupie Jackie Guimond. The Love performers asked Holly about her E! series, and she promised to invite them to the filming during the next two months.
