HUGH HEFNER - HEFNER'S GIRLS UPSET ABOUT MONTE CARLO ARREST

Playboy boss HUGH HEFNER's girlfriends have blasted Monte Carlo police for eating into their party time after arresting and detaining them for breaking into royal property. Kendra Wilkinson, Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt were promoting reality TV series The Girls Next Door at the Monte Carlo Television Festival last week (ends15Jun07) when they took time off to go sightseeing, and found themselves in big trouble after wandering onto palace grounds in the city. The trio was detained and later released after a warning, and now they're complaining about their arrest - because it interfered with their partying. Wilkinson says, "We went exploring... and, like, everything just led to another. We followed the yellow brick road, and we wound up at the palace. And then all of a sudden we were in trouble. "They (police) cut out our drinking time. I was so p**sed, I was so mad." But the girls got an official royal pardon from Prince Albert of Monaco days later. Wilkinson adds, "We got to meet the prince and he was very nice. We just told him that we were kind of in trouble in front of his house and he was like, 'Really?'"
