PLAYBOY PLAYMATE MISS FEBRUARY 2012, LEOLA BELL LIVES IN BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA WHERE SHE STUDIED PSYCHOLOGY AT FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY. SHE FIRST STARTED REPRESENTING PLAYBOY ON THE PLAYBOY GOLF CIRCUIT.

Leola Bell is many things when it comes to Playboy having first worked for the iconic brand in the Playboy Golf circuit that led her on a visit to the mansion. Soon after, she tested for Playmate where she must have scored a hole in one with Hef who picked her as Miss February 2012.

With February being the month of "amore," having Valentine's Day be one of Leola's personal favorite holidays it's only fitting, “I love Valentine’s Day, it’s such a fun holiday … But I never need an excuse to go out to dinner and share a bottle of wine with the man I love. That’s the kind of night I live for!,” she says.

The 27 year-old grew up in Rockville, Maryland as the daughter of a Seventh-Day Adventist minister. Though she had deep respect for her faith, her dream was to become a playmate. A far cry from what her religious roots would allow.

Leola now makes her home in Florida where she studied psychology at Florida Atlantic University, but it's not your mind she wants to get into (only with her looks.) Her future dream after promoting Playboy as a Playmate and modeling is to open a cat shelter. That's where she will be able to care for the cute little critters and provide them to loving families.

Of course, cats are her future, but for right now she wants to surround herself with bunnies, and we can't blame her, after all, bunnies are pretty darn cute too!

YOU CAN CATCH OUTASIGHT PERFORMING TUESDAY, JANUARY 17 ON LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON. HE IS SET TO RELEASE HIS FIRST FULL-LENGTH ALBUM LATER THIS YEAR ON WARNER BROS RECORDS. HIS FIRST HIT SINGLE, TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT IS CURRENTLY ON THE BILLBOARD HOT 100.

Outasight is riding his fame to a whole new level right now and to think that where he will peak is anybody's guess when it comes to talent of not only having a hit song slowly climbing on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, but also on the radio and at clubs across the U.S..

Outasight (real name, Richard Andrew) hails from Yonkers, New York and his music style is self-described as, "Energetic hip hop mixed with melodic soul.."

This will be the year for Outasight to prove himself having found success with his first commercial hit, Tonight Is The Night which was featured in a commercial for Pepsi. The commercial includes footage of music icons; Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Ray Charles, and Kanye West. The ad played during a live broadcast of Simon Cowell's The X-Factor on FOX. The X-Factor was also where he made his national TV debut performing his hit single for millions watching around the world.

All the fame so far hasn't gotten to his head, and when it comes to making music that is all Outasight wants to do, with nothing to prove to the world of what he's known in his heart all along. The next time you turn on the radio or visit a nightclub don't be surprised if you hear his song, Tonight Is The Night -- Don't be surprised if that is his first of many to come.

Outasight will release his first full-length album on Warner Bros. Records late 2012.

You can catch him Tuesday, January 17 performing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon at 12:35AM on NBC.

PLAYBOY PLAYMATE, MISS JANUARY 2012 HEATHER KNOX IS FROM INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA. SHE SHARES THE JANUARY/FEBRUARY ISSUE WITH LINDSAY LOHAN ON THE COVER. 

The new year should be a great one for Playboy Playmate, Miss January 2012 Heather Knox, though the Indianapolis, Indiana natives Colts won't be in the Super Bowl, her hometown will be hosting the big game the same time her issue of Playboy is on newsstands around the country.

The 26 year-old die-hard football fan said of the hosting honor, “Getting to watch the game from a suite at Lucas Oil Stadium will be the coolest thing ever … I keep forgetting how many opportunities being Miss January is going to bring me.”

Of course, what's more special is the fact that Heather gets to share the same issue of Playboy with Lindsay Lohan on the cover (the January/February issue also features Lohan nude inside.) The issue, to date, is one of the best selling since the magazine started in December of 1953.

Beyond the game of football, playing in a fantasy league, and working at a sports bar -- the blonde beauty enjoys doing make-up artistry and drawing.

The Playboy experience has always been in her mind since she was young saying, “Ever since I was old enough to know what Playboy was, I knew I wanted to grow up and one day be privileged enough to be a part of the legacy.”

That legacy now includes her. “Without a doubt, 2012 will be the most amazing year of my life," she comments.

What a great way to start the year off right for her and her admirers... something tells us there will be many more of those in the new year.

PARACHUTE'S NEW SINGLE, KISS ME SLOWLY OFF THEIR SOPHOMORE ALBUM, THE WAY IT WAS (MERCURY RECORDS), IS CO-WRITTEN BY DAVE HAYWOOD AND CHARLES KELLEY OF LADY ANTEBELLUM. 

You've probably heard the song on the radio recently titled, Kiss Me Slowly (video below) by the band Parachute, and for good reason, not only is it a great song but it was co-written by Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum. Kiss Me Slowly, is now in the Top 20 at Hot AC Radio chart and is their first single off their sophomore album, The Way It Was (Mercury Records), was released earlier this year.

This is a follow up to their debut album, Losing Sleep, in which their first single from that album, She is Love, hit #66 on the Billboard Hot 100 list.

It is that talent that has allowed the band to tour with such acts as Kelly Clarkson, Hot Chelle Rae, Plain White T's, Michelle Branch, the Goo Goo Dolls, and Kate Voegele. Starting in January, they will hit the road again with OAR. 

Even beyond touring, the band has taken their act to national television appearing on CBS's The Early Show, ABC's Good Morning America, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Their music has also been featured in such television programs as One Tree Hill, 90210 and Vampire Diaries.

AmoreMagazine.com podcast Interview with Playboy Playmate Miss December 2011 Rainy Day Jordan

(Photo: Playboy)

THIS SMALL-TOWN BELLE IS A THIRD-YEAR NURSING STUDENT AND WAS DISCOVERED BY ATTENDING A PLAYBOY CASTING CALL LAST YEAR IN DALLAS.

Rainy Day Jordan might be her name, but you'd never describe her as gloomy - rather, her days are filled with loving life, being happy, and excitement especially since being named Playboy's Miss December 2011. This small-town southern bell comes complete with the accent you'd expect from a girl from Abilene, Texas.

When it comes to her name there's sort of a back-story to it, saying in her profile,  "My mom is Windi, my aunt is Dusti, and my great-aunt is Sandy. It's a farm thing.'" 

The 20 year-old third-year nursing student became a playmate after she attended a casting call in Dallas.

So was she nervous when it came time to take her clothes off for the photo-shoot?

“I was never nervous about getting naked for my test shoots, because that’s why I wanted to pose in the first place,” she says. “Anybody can look good with their clothes on, but not everybody can take pictures with their clothes off.”

And when it comes to the latter, for Rainy - we couldn't agree more.

“This is the best Christmas present a girl could ever receive!” she says with a smile.

A present we're sure Santa was happy to bring her... and the rest of the Playboy readers.

AmoreMagazine.com podcast Interview with Playboy Playmate Miss November 2011 Ciara Price

(Photos Courtesy of Playboy)

PLAYBOY PLAYMATE MISS NOVEMBER 2011, CIARA PRICE IS ONLY THE SECOND PLAYMATE IN THE HISTORY OF THE MEN'S MAGAZINE TO BE FROM MAINE. SHE IS ALSO ONE OF THE FEW PLAYMATES TO GRACE THE COVER OF AN ISSUE.

 It's not often that a Playboy Playmate is chosen for a particular month, let alone selected for the cover of the same issue. It's also not often that a Playmate is from the State of Maine - yet in the November issue not only is Ciara Price the Playmate, but she graces the cover. (above)  Now, Ciara can claim that honor along with such other notable celebrities as Pamela Anderson , Jenny McCarthy, and Marilyn Monroe. Even more unique, is the fact that she is only the second Playmate to be from the Pine Tree State. (First was Mei-Ling Lam, June 2011)

The blonde-haired, hazel-eyed beauty was working for Verizon Wireless in Portland, Maine and in her spare-time enjoyed photography. A friend of hers, who is a professional photographer saw that she also had a natural talent for posing in front of the camera as well. It was that motivation that allowed her friend to submit photos to the legendary men's magazine - the rest is history, and with an appeal so grand it had to include the cover. She now wants to be a role model for other females. “I want to prove that it’s okay for a woman to feel comfortable in her own skin,” she explains.

Now that she has the spotlight on her, she is taking every opportunity to put her starlet status to promoting causes near and dear to her heart. She has teamed up with Playboy to raise money for breast cancer by joining the Bunnies for the Cure Team, a group of more than 20 Playmates that will participate in the Race for the Cure in Los Angeles on March 24, 2012.

The self-proclaimed "nerd" enjoys technology and computers saying in her magazine profile, "I was the only girl in my computer class, and because tech talk is like a competition, the guys loved that I could keep up with them." She's not all geekette, having excelled in dance at a young age as well.

The 21 year-old is now set to move to Los Angeles where she can pursue her dreams of being behind and in front of the camera; something tells us she might be spending more time in front though.

AmoreMagazine.com podcast Interview with 'The Cab' Lead Singer Alex DeLeon

THE CAB'S NEW ALBUM, SYMPHONY SOLDIER IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ON ITUNES. THEIR FIRST SINGLE, BAD IS CURRENTLY IN ROTATION ON RADIO STATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THIS WEEK, THE CAB START THEIR U.S. TOUR WITH SIMPLE PLAN.

Perhaps you might've heard the song, Bad playing on the radio recently where the lyrics "Cause I want it bad, I want a bad girl, baby, bad"  remained stuck in your head. That's not by accident, as the band, The Cab, wanted that kind of reaction when they wrote the first single off their new album, Symphony Soldier.

The Cab, hail from Las Vegas, a city great for attention, but not necessarily the kind they were seeking for a record deal. The band self-funded Symphony Soldier and for them, the investment has already paid off. The roster of talent that contributed to this album included Pete Wentz, Bruno Mars, and Adam Levine. That talent pool combined with the passion of The Cab have made this album something to listen to from beginning to end, over and over again.

Starting this week, the band will join Simple Plan on tour across the U.S. as part of their Get Your Heart On! Tour. Though these guys have been overseas before, they will play Australia in 2012 for the first time as part of the lineup of the Soundwave Music Festival.

Above, listen to our podcast interview with lead singer, Alex DeLeon.

Check out the music video for Bad featuring Angel Porrino from the E! Network show, Holly's World, below.
