Oh, dear.

Have you seen the recent photo of Hugh Hefner lying face-down across his dining room table in his signature silk pajamas?

Should we be worried? Nope.

The 85-year-old Playboy poobah was just having some fun...

He's was doing what all the kids are doing these days—planking!

"I got Hef to plank!" the magazine mogul's new No. 1 gal Anna Sophia Berglund shared on Twitter earlier this week with the pic of him on top of the table.

For those of you who don't know, planking is a new internet phenomenon in which people post pictures of themselves laying face-down in unusual places. "After the Uno game, Anna got me to plank on the dining room table. See her photo." Hef tweeted.

His gals got into it, too. Miss November 2010 Shera Bechard tweeted a shot of Hef giving a thumbs up over a table of seven gal pals planking side-by-side.

Good to see that Hef's recent heartbreak isn't getting in the way of his flare for fun...or planking for that matter.

Other celebrity planking enthusiasts include Eliza Dushku, Chris Brown and Rosario Dawson, who not only planked during her recent appearance on E!'s own Chelsea Lately, but also during a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live.
