  • Story Text: If there's one thing that Cannes attracts each year during the film festival, it's the playboys and their playmates. Reuters tracked down the king of them all and his best friends.
    Playboy extraordinaire, Hugh Hefner, is never seen in public without his ladyfriends or playmates as they are usually named.
    This week was no exception when the 75 year-old celebrated his birthday in Cannes accompanied by a possee of blonde babes.
    Never one to disappoint the press, Hefner and a few of his girlfriends posed for photographers on the Croisette, with a huge birthday made for the occasion.
    Not to be outdone by Hefner, the President of Barcelona-based Private.Com (a company specialising in adult entertainment)Berth Milton, held a huge party on the beach of the island of Saint Marguerite to promote his latest project.
    Currently experimenting with the concept of producing 'virtual-babes' for the internet, the glamour tycoon has also developed a new fashion line which was unveiled at a fashion show on the island.
    While the mainstream festival attempts to distance itself from the presence of the porn industry in Cannes, every year one of the more sensational events, the 'hot d'or' still manages to attract huge media attention.
