Ever since it was announced that Crystal Harris called off the wedding to Hugh Hefner yesterday the rumor mill went into overdrive as to the reason behind this, TMZ are reporting that the reason she dumped him is over money and her music career
Sources tell TMZ that Crystal was unhappy with the “couple hundred dollar” weekly allowance that she was given from Hef and Playboy so she wanted to make her own money by launching a music career. But apparently Crystal felt that she “couldn’t be married to Hef and have a successful music career”. Speaking of, here is her new song that she released:
However, back in March there was reports that Crystal had been spotted getting cosy with Dr. Phil‘s son, Jordan McGraw, and now RadarOnline are reporting that this is the reason the wedding was called off. A source tells them “the wedding is off and everything has been canceled, Hef is in shock. Crystal bailed and left the mansion at 11pm Sunday night. She has a boyfriend. She is seeing Dr. Phil’s son, Jordan. She thinks she is going to be living with all of Dr. Phil’s millions.”
Crystal has since gone on her Twitter account and wrote “Reading all of my DMs. Thank you for your love during this hard time it means more to me than you could ever know:’(”
Hugh himself has been on Twitter and wrote, these are all separate Tweets but I put them together, “The breakup is a heart breaker, but better now than after the marriage. Since we’re not getting married on Saturday, I’ve scheduled a movie: “Runaway Bride.” Seems appropriate. Bridget Marquardt came by to give me her loving support. Very dear. Crystal took Charlie with her when she left & I really miss him. My ex, Kim Conrad, & her mother, came by to lend their emotional support. I appreciate it.”
Then Hef’s ex-girlfriend Bridget also wrote on her Twitter, she said “Just stopped by the mansion 2 give @hughhefner a hug. He seems to be handling this well. He even had a sense of humor about it! #LoveUHef”. Still nothing from Holly Madison or Kendra Wilkinson.
I’m dying to know the real reasons behind this breakup, since Crystal has a new single to promote I’m going to guess she will spill the beans soon enough.
Former ‘Girl Next Door’ Holly Madison has found new love — on Twitter! Who knew 140 characters could be the start of something special?
The reality star started talking to new boyfriend Jack Barakat through the social networking site after being introduced by friends, according to E! Online.
“We met through a mutual friend and then somehow somebody retweeted something funny he said on Twitter,” she said. “So I started following him and then we started tweeting each other back and forth!”
This could have been you. The flirtation then progressed to direct messages and led to the pair exchanging numbers.
“We were texting for months, and finally when I had my vacation, I was like, ‘Do you wanna come out hang out with me?’ and he did and we hit it off right away,” Madison said.
Her former Playboy Mansion roommate Bridget Marquardt has already given her stamp of approval.
“He’s a really nice guy,” she told E! “He’s really, really sweet, and they were so cute, all snuggly and kissy and lots of PDA.”
And it seems Madison isn’t the only one from Playboy moving on. Her longtime ex and Playboy founder, Hugh Hefer, got engaged to Crystal Harris during the holidays.
The ‘Holly’s World’ star, who dated Hefner for more than six years before breaking things off in 2008, recently opened to Life & Style magazine up about his speedy relationship.
“I’d like to see Hef settle down,” she told the magazine. “I just want it to be with the right person, and I feel like he’s making a hasty decision. I’m not sure Crystal is the best thing for him.”
I never knew that Playboy would turn down celebrities who would be willing to pose nude for them but according to Fox News they have turned down these 8 celebrities.
Kate Gosselin
When asked if there was any possibility that the mom of eight would appear in “Playboy,” Hef said, “No! No!” He then suggested that he doesn’t even know why she was on “Dancing With the Stars,” saying “I don’t think she’s a celebrity.” Ouch. No word on whether Kate wanted to appear in the buff anyway.
Britney Spears
Britney hasn’t been rejected so much as wait-listed. In 2007, “Playboy” reps said, “Hef has said that he is more than happy to feature Britney in the magazine once she can put herself back on the road to recovery.” She has to get herself together before she poses nude? That’s not the way it usually works.
Shirley Jones
Though she worked in a Playboy club during her youth (see left), the 76 year-old former “Partridge Family” star was reportedly turned down for “Playboy” last year. Shirley “posed for a series of test shots that showed off her cleavage and legs, but Hugh Hefner said he expected more nudity from the actress.” Don’t feel bad, Shirley, Hef just wanted to see more!
Kelly Osbourne
Ozzy’s little girl reportedly expressed interest in posing for “Playboy” a few years back, but noted that she “would need some airbrushing.” Hef’s rude response: “I can’t see it happening somehow; we don’t airbrush to that extent.” Jerk!
Bridget Marquardt
Though she was one of the “Girls Next Door,” Bridget reportedly couldn’t get her pics in “Playboy.” After some failed test shoots, the buxom babe was apparently rejected, but Hef wound up inviting her into his pack of blonde TV girlfriends.
Tatu
The faux lesbian pop duo of the 90s (remember “All the Things She Said”?) reportedly wanted to pose for “Playboy,” but both the American and the German editions of the mag said thanks but no thanks. They did get a blurb in the music section, though.
LuAnn de Lesseps
“Real Housewives of New York City” star (and former Countess) LuAnn was visibly jealous when castmate Kelly Killoren Bensimon was asked to pose for “Playboy,” spouting, “No one asked me!” She later backpedaled, saying, “I think my 15-year-old would have a heart attack if I were to do ‘Playboy.’ It’s not something I really want to do.” Thou protesteth too much, LuAnn!
Audrina Patridge
You may recall a certain set of “accidentally” leaked topless photos that were attributed to “The Hills” starlet. Audrina reportedly hired a photographer to take the shots for submission to “Playboy,” but the photos were rejected. Never give up on your dreams, Audrina!
Maybe Playboy should let some of these celebrities pose in the magazine instead of some of the has beens they do get, at least these people are sort of relevant.
Kendra Wilkinson can now officially be called a MILF because she and husband Hank Baskett welcomed a baby boy early this morning.
They called the new baby Hank Baskett IV , who was delivered via C-section, and he weighed 9lbs 5oz. A source spoke to UsMagazine, they said “mother and baby are doing well, Kendra and Hank are very happy.”
E, who first reported the couples new arrival, were there filming the birth for their reality show Kendra. When they air the footage it will just show the new holding the baby and not show the actual birth. Kendra’s former Girls Next Door costars spoke to E! about the new baby…
Holly Madison said “I can’t wait to meet little Hank! “I am so excited for Kendra and Hank. They are going to have the best holiday ever!”
Bridget Marquardt said “This is what I call a Christmas gift that will keep on giving (and taking…lol)!!! I wish both of them and little Hank Jr. a lifetime of joy and happiness! The only things I wonder…Can I help plan the birthday parties and how will they top this gift next Christmas???”
Hugh Hefner said “I send my love to Kendra, Hank and the baby on this memorable day.”
Congratulations to the couple, I expect we will get the first picture of their new baby through either a magazine deal, Kendra Wilkinson‘s blog or E!

Kendra Wilkinson has let the world see her boobs and funny moments in both of her reality shows, but she is now taking a step further in her career by writing a book.
The memoir which is set for release next summer will supposedly include everything from her life – childhood, getting famous and of course living in the Playboy mansion with Hugh Hefner.
I wonder if the book will dish on the alleged feuds that she had with Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt back when they were all Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends.
Kendra said “I feel like the luckiest girl in the world, I have a husband I adore, a baby on the way, and now my memoir is going to be published!”
The book will be released through Simon Spotlight Entertainment and is described as a “humorous, relatable, fish-out-of-water tale.”
Vice President of the publishing company, Jennifer Bergstrom, said “Kendra is so genuine and funny that her memoir is sure to be unique.”

Kendra Wilkinson and NFL player Hank Baskett became husband and wife on Saturday at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles.
The newlyweds got married at around 7pm out in the back garden with over 500 guests watching including Bridget Marquardt, Holly Madison and of course Hugh Hefner.
Michael Barin provided Kendra with over $100,000 in jewlyerywhich included 4.25-carat platinum drop earrings, a 2.5-carat platinum pendant and a 4.5-carat bracelet.
Hank and his groomsmen all wore white and Kendra’s brother, Colin, walked her down the aisle after she changed her mind (Hugh Hefner was originally supposed to – akward).
Holly who along with Bridget was part of Kendra’s bridesmaids said “she looked like a princess. It was a beautiful setting for a wedding. It was a princess dress, which was fitting. It was really pretty and she looked gorgeous. They’re definitely ready for their honeymoon now. They need a vacation.”
Kendra and Hank had their first dance to “I Cross My Heart” by George Strait, she then had her second dance with Hugh Hefner.
Kendra soon took to her blog to not only blog about being married but also promote her E! show she says…
Wussup everyone???? Its the new Mrs. Hank Baskett!!!!!!!!! ahhhh hahahahahha!! I cant believe im a married woman! yayyyyy.
Just wanted to make sure u all remember that theres a brand new episode of KENDRA tonight! In this episode me and hank have a little disagreement when i invite my friend Too Short to stay with us. (Too Short wrote the song for my show’s intro JUST for me!!!!)
Tune in to E! tonight at 10pm to see how me n Hank work out the drama!
I sound like I should be writing romance novels don’t I? Here are some pictures of Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett at their wedding.
Kendra Wilkinson recently spilled about how she snuck out of the Playboy Mansion to cheat on Hugh Hefner. Also, her and Bridget Marquardt dished to Us Weekly just about everything when they interviewed each other.
BM: Oh no, it’s too hard to pick. It depends on my mood. I love Italian, I love Mexican, I love Chinese, I love Japanese. I love American. I’m sure I’m forgetting some. I love all of them. When did you start to worry about your diet? Like, “Oh I need to start eating healthier?”
KW: You know when!
BM: I do know when. Do you want me to tell it? I won’t say it that bad, I’ll just give the rundown. We’re on our way to a wedding [about four years ago] with Hef in the limo. Holly was in the wedding. At first, you were like, “Oh I need to start working out. I’m getting kind of fat.” And Hef said, “Yeah, there’s a gym downstairs.”
KW: Yeah, Hef, out of all people, said that to me.
BM: Yeah, “There’s a gym downstairs, and you have to be careful with our kitchen.”
KW: And I’m like, [imitates wailing]. I was crying so bad!
BM: I would’ve too. That was so mean.
They went on to talk about how Kendra gave up alcohol and Bridget’s new travel show.
Check out all of the outtakes from the photoshoot below. These are the photos from the shoot that you didn’t get to see.

After the jump, some of the snaps from the Farewell to the Girls Next Door issue (NSFW, obviously).
After much speculation about whether or not she will appear in Playboy magazine, Aubrey O’Day has confirmed she will indeed feature in the magazine.
O’Day who has previously done several almost-nude spreads, including the shoot she did for Complex (the thumbnails on this post) will be on the cover of the March edition of the magazine.
She says, “I’m honored to be a part of the Playboy legacy and look forward to my March cover hitting newsstands on February 13.”

The singer who was booted out of her band Danity Kane from manager/creator Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is rumored to also make an appearance at a Making The Band special on MTV, that will feature interviews from herself, the other band members, fans and Diddy himself.
This issue of Playboy will follow the “goodbye” Girls Next Door edition that features Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt, and Kendra Wilkinson.

I’m sure Diddy will love the fact that Aubrey O’Day is going to be in the new issue of Playboy magazine, I wonder how much skin she will show.
Hugh Hefner‘s new girlfriend Crystal Harris has just written a blog on her myspage page letting fans know that she is “a good girl, for the most part.”
The 22-year-old was unveiled as Hef’s girlfriend a while ago but the drama surrounding Holly Madison, Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt on top of fellow new girlfriends Karissa and Kristina Shannon overshadowed Harris completely.

Crystal, who hasn’t yet appeared in Playboy magazine also posted on E! Online’s message board and said “Hef gave me permission to fill people in on the new updates as a voice from the mansion,†as well as saying she had moved into the Playboy mansion.
It’s no secret that Holly Madison is in love with Hugh Hefner (maybe his money, but…) and has been hoping to get Hugh’s wedding ring on her finger, it looks like that’s never going to happen.
“We are no closer to getting married than we were years ago,†a dejected Holly told Tarts at last week’s “Playmate of the Year†luncheon held at the iconic Mansion. “It’s like a car stalled at the side of the road.â€
While the 28-year-old glamour girl may still be holding out for a miraculous jump-start, she found it difficult to deal with her boyfriend’s thoughts on the situation as she sadly turned away while he spoke.
“I love Holly very much and I think we’re going to be together the rest of my life,†Hef said. “But marriage isn’t part of my puzzle. It’s not a personal thing; I just haven’t had much luck with marriages.â€
But not only is the men’s magazine mogul refusing to commit to just one woman, he’s refusing to give up his passion of perusing pictures of beautiful (yet bare) bodies.
“I have no plans to retire,†Hefner added. “It’s the perfect combination of work and play that keeps you young. If I quit work it would be the beginning of the end for me.â€
Speaking of endings, could his other two “Girls Next Door,†Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson, also be getting ready to move on?
“My goal is to be hosting my own show and be happily married with children, so I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately,†Bridget said.
Kendra added that her future plans also involve motherhood and marriage while at the same time she aspires to build up her brand name, so with her own label Kdub clothing ready to launch, it seems she’s well on the way to independence.
Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson — better known as Hugh Hefner‘s trio of blonde girlfriends from E!’s “The Girls Next Door‘ reality series — will appear for the third time on the cover of Playboy.
“It kinda happened by accident,” Hefner told The Associated Press. “It was not the original plan. I knew we were overdue for a cover featuring the girls. For our annual sexiest celebrities list, we always get votes from readers on the Internet of who should be on the top of the list. Lo and behold, as the votes were coming in, we found the girls moving up higher and higher on the list.”
Madison, Marquardt and Wilkinson will be featured together in three different covers for the “25 Sexiest Celebrities” issue. In the newsstand edition cover image, out Feb. 8, the women are clad in glittery lingerie in front of a starry backdrop.
“To be perfectly frank, I have unexpectedly fallen in love,” Hefner said of his ongoing relationship with the three women. “It is the relationship with Holly that will probably last forever. The others will last for as long as they want it to last before going on with their careers and lives.”
Among the celebrities to make Playboy’s list are Jennifer Love Hewitt, Alicia Keys, Cameron Diaz, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. Hefner said the top three online celebrity vote-getters were Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba, with “The Girls Next Door” coming in fourth place.
“Yes, there was some favoritism involved,” Hefner joked. “I know them personally.”
