Girls Next Door’s third time– and one Girl’s first time

The CW has ordered up more episodes of One Tree Hill and Veronica Mars, but the big renewal news this morning is that E! has ordered up a new season of The Girls Next Door, the “reality” series that which takes us along for the ride with Hugh Hefner and his trio of salaried party girl girlfriends.

The announcement comes with news that Hef’s “number two” Playboy blonde is about to tell us more than most of us need to know on a new DVD…This will be the third go-around for Playboy’s Viagra poster boy and his young brainy blonde beauties. Once again, the series will revolve around their lives and adventures in and around the Playboy Mansion, where they all live and play.

Girls has been very good to E! The premiere of season two over the summer was network’s highest-rated original program since 2003. Girls 3 should debut in the Spring.

Meanwhile, Hefner party triplet Bridget Marquardt (who actually does have B.A. and master’s degrees in communications) is featured on a new DVD that’s coming out next week, discussing and reliving an incident that occurred a long time ago in what could have been a galaxy far, far away: the loss of her virginity (adult film actors re-enact the historic opening night).

The girl next door is one of many women who share their intimate stories in My First Time, a collection of episodes from the first season of the Showtime reality series that lit up late nights a few years ago (not to be confused with the TV Land show that stole the name).
