Bunny porn king Hugh Hefner is to spend eternity lying next to Playboy’s first pin-up girl Marilyn Monroe.

Hefner, who died at 91, reportedly bought the crypt next to the “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” star in 1992 for $75,000 (£56,000). Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles is also the resting place of Dean Martin, Natalie Wood and Truman Capote, People magazine reports.
