It's "Holly's World" and she's dishing on finding out her ex was engaged, how it felt to be told she needed to lose weight, and what she plans to do in the future.

ET sat down with Holly Madison and her cohorts Josh Strickland and Angel Porrino to talk about season two of their E! series, "Holly's World."

The former resident of the Playboy Mansion says she had complicated feelings when she found out that her ex, Hugh Hefner, is engaged.

"I felt a lot of different ways," Holly says. "I kinda wanted to go see Hef and just congratulate him and you know, tell him how I felt, and we got that all on camera. So, you'll get to see the whole range of my emotions on the show. I just kinda wanted to save it for that because it's not something that I can just say in one sentence."

Holly shares that her former mansion roommate Kendra Wilkinson gave her take on the situation: "Kendra taped a segment for my show as well, right after I went to see Hef, so we talked about our thoughts on everything."

When it comes to "Holly's World," season two will bring "a lot of left-field challenges," including Holly being told by the director of her Vegas burlesque show, Peepshow, that she needed to lose weight!

"I just felt gross onstage, I felt like, I must look really fat, but, I mean, I like the way I look," Holly divulges, adding that the other dancers in the show "are super super skinny."

"But, that's not me, you know," Holly says. "That's great for them but that's not me and that's never how I've been, never how I've marketed myself."

Josh agrees, chiming in, "Look at her, … she's gorgeous and beautiful and the way a woman should feel and be comfortable about herself. And that's what our show is supposed to be all about, it's about femininity and [female] empowerment and I think that that's what she embodies."

Angel, for her part, adds, "No guys want to be with a bony chick, that's just how it is."

Besides her reality show, what else does Holly have in the works? Not Playboy, she says. When asked if she's interested in working with the magazine in the future, the buxom blonde replies, "No, I don't think so, I'm more interested in opening a shop in Vegas and a pizza place, things like that."

"Holly's World" is set to return to E! on January 23.
