Las Vegas burlesque star and former Hugh Heffner girlfriend Holly Madison announces pregnancy

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Burlesque performer and Las Vegas Strip star Holly Madison says she’s going to be a first-time mom.

The 33-year-old star of “Peepshow” told Us Weekly she and her boyfriend of nine months, party promoter Pasquale Rotella, are expecting. Her publicist, Steve Flynn, confirmed the report with The Associated Press.

Madison previously announced that she will finish her run with “Peepshow” at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino on Dec. 30.

“Peepshow” debuted in March 2009.

Madison previously worked for Playboy and dated the magazine’s creator, Hugh Hefner.
