Holly Madison signed up for E!'s The Girls Next Door hoping the show would help rid the public of their misconceptions about life at the Playboy mansion.  Now, almost four seasons later, Madison believes they have accomplished just that.

“Our show has a really big female following, and we get a lot of feedback from them,” Madison told TV Guide.  “They look up to us because we're in a position where we can pretty much pursue anything we want to do, and they love to see empowered women follow their dreams.”

Holly Madison, who turned 28 on Sunday, moved into the mansion in 2001, having become one of Hugh Hefner's official girlfriends.  A year later, some of the other women moved out, leaving only Madison and her Girls Next Door costars Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt.

However, it is Madison whom Hefner considers as his “#1 Girl.”  In looking to the future, Madison said that she and the other girls are looking to do spin-offs of their own, but that some day, she would “love to be a mom and have it all!”

The fourth season of The Girls Next Door premiered early this month, and Madison said that an upcoming episode shows “the real me more than any other episode.”

“[The] episode that focuses on my work at Playboy Studio West, which follows four different girls from four different parts of the country [trying] out to be Playmates,” she explained.  “It shows me at work and it gets behind the sort of girls who come out here.”

The Girls Next Door and her work at Playboy are not the only things that have kept Madison on her feet. She, along with Marquardt and Wilkinson, recently worked in a comedy film called I Know What Boys Like, costarring Scary Movie actress Anna Faris.

“It is a really funny script, and it's so perfect for Anna… a part of it was shot here at the mansion,” Madison said. “A lot of Playmates are in the film, and I'm excited to see it all come together.  I play myself, one of her roommates.”
