Radar Online has a new interview with Hugh Hefner on the red carpet at a Playboy benefit for US troops he held on Saturday at his mansion. It’s pretty clear that 83 year-old Hef had a few Jack and cokes before the event because his eyes are half-closed and he’s slurring and kind of slow answering questions. Crystal Harris, his new number one girlfriend, had to repeat some things to him louder so he could figure out what the reporters were asking. At one point he was asked if he’s ever considered putting Lindsay Lohan in the magazine, something he was previously rumored to have offered the actress. He had to have her name repeated three times before he realized who she was, but after the lightbulb clicked on he said “sure” she could pose for Playboy:

RadarOnline.com spoke with Hefner, as well as his blonde twin bookends Karissa and Kristina Shannon, where he took a moment to ponder past and future playmates.

“Very special lady,” Hefner said, reflecting on his relationship wit cancer-battling Farrah Fawcett.

“She appeared in the magazine first in the 1970s and, I think, almost every decade since,” said Hefner.

When asked about potential new playmates, one troubled actress didn’t even register to the 83-year-old.

When asked if Lindsay Lohan could make the cut for Playboy, her name had to be repeated several times before Hefner even realized who she was!

Fear not, Lindsay. Once it dawned on him, Hefner seemed open to the idea.

Poor Hef, he doesn’t look to be doing too well. The fact that he forgot Lohan’s name is more a reflection on his age and whatever he was on than Lindsay’s fading star. Lohan might not be too keen to take Hef up on his offer. Although it was rumored that she previously turned down a $700,000 offer to pose in the men’s magazine, Lohan’s mother Dina denied the offer was ever on the table. What’s more is that Lindsay has landed an actual role in a film, so she may want to concentrate on that for a while and not remind us that she’s usually willing to get naked for art’s sake.
