1968 Playboy playmate of the year Angela Dorian has just been sentenced to 9 YEARS behind bars for shooting her husband in the back in 2010.

66-year-old Dorian — aka Victoria Rathgeb — aka Victoria Vetri — pled no contest to attempted voluntary manslaughter in L.A. County Superior Court.

On top of the 9 year sentence — Dorian was ordered to pay $70 thousand into California’s victim restitution fund.

TMZ broke the story … Angela grabbed a handgun a fired one shot at Bruce Rathgeb following a heated argument inside their Hollywood apartment.

Bruce underwent surgery to remove a bullet fragment from his body — but he’s reportedly doing OK.

Whatever happened to the good old days where people beat on each other when they had an argument?  Now it’s like people are just shooting each other over dumb stuff.  But, I guess if you’re gonna go to jail, you might as well wait until you’re 66 years old.  At that point you might not give a fuck.

Hugh Hefner spoke to the Daily News about his new documentary, ‘Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist and Rebel,’ which explores his contributions to the civil rights and feminist movements. In the interview he talked about his love of Viagra and blondes, how he helped legalize extramarital sex and what he doesn’t allow in the bedroom.

Hef, who still has sex twice a week with girlfriend Crystal Harris, has previously referred to Viagra as “God’s little helper.” Read graphic accounts of Hef orgies from former bunnies here.

Here are a few excerpts from the Daily News interview, read the whole thing here.

On people who say he objectifies women:
“The notion that Playboy turns women into sex objects is ridiculous. Women are sex objects. If women weren’t sex objects, there wouldn’t be another generation. It’s the attraction between the sexes that makes the world go ’round. That’s why women wear lipstick and short skirts.”

On whether sex changes with age:
“Well, not particularly. Thank goodness for the arrival of Viagra. It breaks down that wall. But I think you gain some experience over the years and that helps. Woody Allen said, ‘If you don’t think that sex is dirty, you’re not doing it right.’”

On his love of blondes:
“No, my first wife was a brunette and Barbi Benton, my major romantic relationship of the early 1970s, was a brunette. But since the end of my marriage, all of my girlfriends have been blonds. I have made the comment that Picasso went through his pink period and his blue period before he arrived at his abstract period. I am in my blond period.”

Classic.
