The Playmate and the Woz are done dancing.

Playboy model Holly Madison and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak were booted from the “Dancing With the Stars” ballroom Tuesday during the ABC show’s first midseason double elimination.

Wozniak, 58, consistently earned the lowest score during the show’s four weeks of competition so far. Judges gave him and professional partner Karina Smirnoff just 12 points out of a possible 30 for their Argentine tango on Monday, and the pair earned a meager 10 points the week before for their samba.

“There is an improvement from last week,” judge Len Goodman told the couple Monday. “Last week was so terrible that almost anything that happened would have been an improvement.”

Judge Bruno Tonioli told Wozniak his tango “really stunk.”

Ever positive, Wozniak said he “gave it a good try.”

“This is a great show, a great process, a great system,” he said. Wozniak previously criticized the show’s scoring system and later apologized to producers.

He said performing on the program made him feel like “the luckiest person in the world.”

Madison could have used a little luck Monday. The “Girls Next Door” reality show star forgot part of her Argentine tango and earned the night’s third-lowest score: 16 points.

“It was a bad start, and it kept getting worse,” judge Tonioli said.

Madison and partner Dmitry Chaplin beat out fellow low-scorer Steve-O by one point, but fans failed to keep the couple in the competition.

Still, Madison said she was grateful for the chance to appear on the show. The 29-year-old was asked last minute to replace TV host Nancy O’Dell, who was injured during pre-show training.

“It was a lot physically harder than I thought it was going to be, but it was so much fun,” Madison said Tuesday. “And I love the costumes. That’s my favorite part.”

Tuesday’s show also featured performances by Kevin Rudolph and Boyz II Men.

Besides Steve-O, remaining competitors include rapper Lil Kim, rodeo champ Ty Murray, former football star Lawrence Taylor, Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, country singer Chuck Wicks, “Bachelor” star Melissa Rycroft and actors David Alan Grier and Gilles Marini.

Shock, relief and tears filled the backstage area of Dancing with the Stars tonight as Denise Richards‘ samba sent her packing.

“For a minute, I thought we had a shot at staying,” Denise told E! News backstage after tonight’s elimination show. “I’m really glad I got to do the dance over again and get better scores and a better reaction. It was better to go out on that note than last night.”

Better scores indeed. Denise and her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy earned five more points in her dance-off against bottom two-er Holly Madison. “I never imagined anybody could improve in a day by five points unless you flat out fell on the floor,” says Maksim.

Find out what Chuck Wicks whispered in Julianne Hough’s ear, what made Steve-O say ‘for crying out loud,’ and what Jewel still does for hubby Ty Murray…

Chuck Wicks on preparing for the worst: “Once they had the first four names and we weren’t in there, I whispered in [Julianne Hough’s] ear, ‘We may want to start practicing the dance a little bit.’”

Holly Madison on the dance-off: “It was really scary. I thought for sure that we were gone out of the competition. I was really freaking out, so hopefully I won’t be so scared next time.”

Ty Murray on Jewel: Ty tells us that his wife and ex-competitor Jewel might be gone from the competition, but she’s showing her support…with foot rubs!

Steve-O on perspective: “This taught me not to take myself too seriously. For crying out loud, this is a dance-off. If your biggest problem is that you screwed up a dance routine or that you’re not on a dance show, I think everything is pretty good.”

Steve Wozniak on being safe: “That was the most incredible surprise. I was setting myself up to be so happy doing my dance again. When that came, my world turned in an instant…I was crying. I still have tears a little.”

Gilles Marini on Woz: “It’s not shocking. Remember one thing: many, many people vote. Maybe [Woz] has 70% of the overall vote, so who knows? If people don’t vote, we are gone. Even if we have three 9’s, they still need to vote.”

Lil’ Kim on Denise: “I’ve met a totally different person than what we read or see [in the media]. Sometimes that press bothers her because she talked to me [about it]. She’s really a sweet girl.”

It’s really over.

Hugh Hefner confirms he and Holly Madison are no longer.

“If she says it’s over, it’s over,” Hefner tells me. “But like I’ve said before, she is the love of my life, and I expected to spend the rest of my life with her.”

The Playboy mogul says the relationship started to crumble about six months ago when they learned he was unable to father a child with Holly.

“With my sperm count, it’s not possible,” Hefner explained. “I was willing but it was not possible…She’d like to be married and have children, but it’s not in the cards here for me.”

Where does that leave the other two Girls Next Door, Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt?

Hefner says they’re still romantically involved, but admitted, “the relationship with Kendra will be ending when she moves out, probably by the end of this year.”

Hef ain’t wasting anytime getting back in the saddle though.

In the last week, he’s been spotted with 19-year-old twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon (pictured above). “They very much want to be girlfriends and now under the present circumstance, they probably will become my girlfriends,” Hefner says.

And they’re not all he has to look forward to.

A college senior from Georgia whom Hefner identifies as Amy Leigh Andrews is also waiting in the wings. “She was testing here this past weekend,” Hef says of the centerfold wannabe, “and she said she’d like to be a girlfriend, too.”

The 82-year-old Hefner laughed, “I’m dancing as fast as I can.”

The lives of Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt, and Kendra Wilkinson have significantly changed ever since they moved into the Playboy mansion and became Hugh Hefner’s official playmates.  For several years, they have experienced the lavish perks of the extravagant manor, enjoyed wild adventures and kinky parties, as they rocket into stardom on their reality series The Girls Next Door. But as much as they want to all live happily ever after together, they must also face the inevitable changes that are bound to happen some time in the future.

No one really knows what lies ahead for these girls but part of the direction they are heading is considerably anchored in the fate of The Girls Next Door.  The E! series that focuses on the lives of the girls and the various events inside the Playboy mansion has been a successful launch for the network and continues to be a hit in the ratings with its current fourth season.  However, speculations of the program’s looming ending have started to surface when the girls hinted on their individual plans after its fifth season run.

“We’re currently negotiating for season five right now, which they want to start filming in March.  After that, I’m kind of ready to go do some spin-offs or something.  I kind of want to host a show, maybe like a makeover-style show, like Playboy makeovers,” Marquardt told OK! magazine.

As for the rest of the beauties, Madison wants to do a spin-off about the Playboy studio where she works, while Wilkinson want to open her own gym.

Relationship adjustments are also in the cards for these girls if and when Hefner sets a date to marry his number girlfriend Madison.  While Wilkinson certainly approves of Hefner and Madison’s relationship and the possibility of their marriage, she’s a little bit puzzled on Hefner and the girls’ current setup.

“We all love Hef and everything, but we realize that things are starting to become more Hef and Holly.  I’ll be honest…it’s kind of confusing to me how it’s becoming more of Holly and Hef.  We’re still here, we’re still still part of Playboy and Girls Next Door.  But in a way I don’t get it right now.  I’m kind of confused with the way things are right now, and where we stand,” Wilkinson revealed to OK! magazine.
