Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and his so-called 'bunnies' rang in the New Year among the hundred party-goers who welcomed 2009 at the Playboy mansion in Los Angeles.
Guests included actors Martin Landau, Julie Newmar and Corey Feldman, as well athlete Jose Canseco and one-time O.J. Simpson houseguest Kato Kaelin.
Party host, the 82 year old Hefner, is also the subject of a new book - the 529-page Mr. Playboy: Hugh Hefner and the American Dream, written by Steven Watts, a professor of history at the University of Missouri.
