Holly Madison knows what it's like being in front of the camera.

Not only was she one of the stars of E!'s The Girls Next Door, but she also had her own spin-off, Holly's World.

But now she needs someone to play her for the cameras.

The former Playboy bunny exclusively tells me that she's in talks to turn her new tell-all memoir Down the Rabbit Hole into a TV movie.

"We're looking at some options right now," Madison said me while promoting the book. "I think everybody's dream would be to do the big motion picture, but I think even a really well made TV movie would be great, too."

As for her ideal casting, "I would pick somebody young because they'd have to be playing me when I started at 21. I'd pick Emma Watson or Lily James. Lily James is my favorite."

And then Madison joked that she'd like a Broadway musical adaptation, too. "It could totally be Legally Blonde meets Gypsy. That would be so fun."

We know that the TV movie will have a happy ending. Madison, 35, not only married to Electric Daisy Carnival creator Pasquale Rotella in 2013, but they're also parents to two-year-old daughter Rainbow.

"We definitely want more kids," she said. "Hopefully we'll have some more soon. I want to wait until after I'm done with my book tour. I don't want me brain to go to mush."

It's been quite the journey to get to today. "It's been difficult when people remember you for one thing because that's all they can think of," Madison said. "I've been working really hard for several years to start from scratch and be myself. I'm not complaining because good comes with it too, but…you have to remind people that reality TV isn't always 100 percent real and that was a phase in my life awhile back. It's not who I am now or what I'm about."

Down the Rabbit Hole is in stores tomorrow.
