Yesterday it was Ed McMahon protesting rumors of his demise; today it’s Hugh Hefner. The 83-year-old Playboy magnate is “in very good shape and feeling very good,” he tells E!, adding that the breakup with his exes certainly isn’t taking a toll: “The recovery, thanks to the twins and to Crystal, has been really remarkable,” he said. More gossip news:

  • Jon and Kate Plus 8’s real-life couple might be having marriage troubles, MSNBC reports, with Jon reportedly playing beer pong with a bevy of college girls.
  • The New York Daily News says Ivana Trump’s short-lived marriage to Rossano Rubicondi was a publicity stunt.
  • Eminem is back with not one, but two albums to be released this year, E! adds.
  • Reality-TV star Brody Jenner got into it with Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis at a club when Francis bumped into Jenner’s girlfriend—whom Francis called an “ugly piece of trash,” the New York Post reports.
