Former Girl Next Door, Holly Madison, is pregnant with her second child – and it’s a boy!  Madison and her husband Pasquale Rotella, already have a three-year-old daughter named Rainbow Aurora.  Holly told US Weekly that her second pregnancy has been much easier than her first with little nausea or other symptoms.

Madison had a New York Times bestseller with her book, Down the Rabbit Hole; an account of her time spent living in the Playboy Mansion.  Holly explained to Yahoo! that the book was her attempt to tell her side of the story.  “I never had a voice.  It was always shaped by the TV show or by Playboy or Hef himself. But I want my daughter to know why I made the decisions I did.”

The 36-year-old reality TV star continued, “From day one I’ve tried to raise [Rainbow] to know she has value, her body parts have value, and she doesn’t have to do something cheap or tawdry to get attention. If she wanted to – and God forbid she did – I would tell her my whole experience with it and I’d be honest that it wasn’t what I thought it would be.”

Madison will release her second book, titled The Vegas Diaries, in mid-May.  The follow-up to her first book is described a “candid, humorous, and captivating memoir chronicling her journey toward reinvention and self-acceptance.”
