Hugh Hefner, 83, calls Holly Madison, 29, the love of his life and hopes that she will return to the Playboy Mansion to live with him.

He said: ‘I’d welcome Holly back with open arms because she is still the love of my life.’

So now that Holly has split with magician Criss Angel, will she run back to Hef?

Holly – who moved out of the mansion last year after her split with Hugh – insists there isn’t any chance of her returning.

She said: ‘I loved my time at the mansion and think the world of Hef. There comes a time in everyone’s life where they need to go their own way.’

Hef has other women to keep his bed warm. 

Hef now lives in the Playboy Mansion with current girlfriends 19-year-old twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon and Crystal Harris, 22.

It looks like life is a bit different for Holly Madison since she left the Playboy mansion, a place that is equipped with a full staff to wait on Hef and his girlfriends.

Madison was spotted at Target picking up a few household items.

But don’t expect Holly to pose in Playboy again anytime soon.

“I’m never getting naked again,” she vowed. “I’m over it, I’ve done it so many times. It is time to switch it up.”

Holly Madison just split with magician Criss Angel and now she is going to be on Dancing with the Stars.

Madison’s Girls Next Door costar, Bridget Marquardt, let the news slip on live TV.

“I’m so excited for her,” Marquardt, who next stars in a Travel Channel show called Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches, told FOX’s Strategy Room Wednesday.

“She’s wanted to do it for so long,” Marquardt added. “It just never worked with her schedule and Hef was always like ‘I don’t want you to do that,’ and now it’s her time, so I’m really happy for her.”

There is speculation Madison could be replacing Jewel, who has been struggling with knee problems, and blogged last week that tendinitis could force her to drop out.

“Unless there is a miracle healing, Holly is confirmed to be a part of the premiere,” a DWTS source says.

Jewel released a statement last week saying she’d suffered a “minor setback,” and added: “Don’t count me out, as I am in this for the long run.”

A source close to Jewel says she’ll still be on the show Monday. It doesn’t sound like Jewel will be dancing though!

Holly might have an advantage over the other DWTS contestants. She’ll be right at home in all of the skimpy outfits!

E! News is reporting that Holly Madison and magician Criss Angel have called it quits.

The Girls Next Door star and her Mindfreak beau broke up after four months of dating.

The 29-year-old Madison and 41-year-old Angel had been cohabitating at the magician’s Sin City home since December, but the Playboy pinup recently moved back in with family.

“It was a tough decision for her to make and come back to L.A. and pursue her career,” the source told E! News. “She still has very intense feelings for him.”

Hmm…Holly went from one serious relationship to the next. She likes rich men, so who will Holly get with next? Do you think she will end up back with Hugh Hefner? Holly is pretty intense about wanting to get married and have children and maybe Criss didn’t want that. We really don’t buy that she is that concerned about her career. Holly better find another sugar daddy soon!

Not only is she a Playboy bunny, but also Kendra Wilkinson will now be the wife of an Eagle.

Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner, 82 has extended his blessings after his ex-girlfriend ‘Girl Next Door’ Kendra Wilkinson, 23 accepted footballer Hank Baskett’s marriage proposal.  Baskett popped the question to the bubbly blonde atop the Space Needle in Seattle last weekend.

“Kendra Wilkinson has met someone who she would like to spend the rest of her life with. His name is Hank Baskett, a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, and he popped the question last Saturday,” Hugh Hefner said in a statement.

Hefner said that he’ll support his ex-girlfriend, and has even offered Playboy Mansion as a venue for her wedding reception. He wished Wilkinson nothing but the best, saying, “I have given her my blessing and will be giving her away at a very special wedding ceremony at the Playboy Mansion this coming June.”

Wilkinson isn’t the only one of Hefner’s girlfriends to find love in other places. Holly Madison, known as his “number one” girlfriend on the show, was recently seen with new beau, illusionist Criss Angel.

Hefner is currently dating 19-year-old twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon.

Kissy, Kissy! Criss Angel and Holly Madison attended the grand opening of Angel’s Cirque Du Soleil show Believe.

Criss talked to the media about Holly:

“This is one of the most special evenings for me in my life and I can not think of a more beautiful person, a more special person, inside and out, than Holly to spend it with.”
When asked how he and Madison got together, he replied, “I got lucky. I didn’t have a date and so she said, ‘I’ll come’. She makes me look good.”

Holly certainly seems to be over Hef!

Hugh Hefner is speaking out about his split from girlfriend #1, Holly Madison.

“I had planned to spend the rest of my life with Holly,” Hefner said.

After the break-up, “I was road kill a couple of weeks ago,” he said.

One persistent strain in the relationship was Holly’s desire to have children.

“We tried to have a baby earlier this year and it didn’t work out,” he said. “She
became very depressed.”

We didn’t know that Holly and Hef actually tried for a baby!

Madison, 28, confirmed the break up from Hef, 82, Tuesday.

Notice that their ages are inverted numbers of each other. Wow.

“Hef and I aren’t together,” she told TMZ.com cameras.

But, she said that she, Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt are “still filming stuff together. We’re having fun.”

Of their upcoming sixth season, she added, “It’s going to be even better. We love season five, but I think every season gets better.”

I wonder if they are filming these shows as if they all actually still live together. Everyone knows the truth, so what’s the point?

Don’t shed any tears for Hef just yet.

He’s got girlfriend replacements ready to go.

In the last week, he’s been spotted with 19-year-old twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon. “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.”

Hugh Hefner is saying that he and Holly Madison are still together.

“She is still my girlfriend,” he says. “Now will that last? I don’t think anything lasts forever.

“I love her very much, but you know, she wants very much to get married and have children. That isn’t very much in the cards for me,” he adds. “So there has to be a certain reality there. And I’m sure the time will come when she’ll be dating others. That’s part of the transition.” 

Holly and Hef have been together for 7 years.

Holly Madison was spotted in Vegas making out with Criss Angel over the weekend.  Gross!

We suspect that Holly is trying to stick it out in the Playboy mansion, which isn’t exactly a tough thing to do.  Live in a mansion for free and having access to Hef’s credit cards for shopping sprees isn’t a bad life.  Plus, if she stays with Hef for the remainder of his life, I’m sure that would secure a place for her in his will.  It is also likely a publisher would throw some money her way after his death for a book about Hef in the last decade or so of his life.  In other words, we suspect the longer she stays with him, the more money and perks come her way.  We do think she cares for Hef, but she wants more than he can give her. 

As for the recent rumors that Holly Madison may wed Hugh Hefner, she says there are no such nuptials in the works. She blogged, “It would not be a secret if I were engaged to anyone.”

She continued, “There is a bad a** wedding coming up in Season 5 of Girls Next Door, but it’s not mine! It was our friends’ wedding that Bridget planned. I think it was one of the craziest weddings/receptions Vegas has ever seen. I loved the cut I saw of the episode…one of my all time faves… but they could not even show half of the stuff that went on that weekend! I gotta admit, Bridget and I tried to get married while we were out there for the wedding…but you will have to tune in to see how that panned out!”

In addition to the rumors that Holly might marry Hef (which she just debunked), there have been lots of rumors circulating that she has been spending time in Vegas with magician Criss Angel and that she might be leaving Hef for Criss. We think Holly will stay with Hef, but she still might be hanging with Criss in the meantime.  Scandalous!

Hugh Hefner’s #1 girlfriend, Holly Madison, was out dropping some serious cash on Robertson Boulevard. What do you think of the Girls Next Door star’s style? Holly was wearing a black off-the-shoulder shirt, denim skirt, knee-high tubesocks and a pair of Converse All-Stars. Oh, and don’t forget the Louis Vuitton handbag.

Her outfit is fun, I guess. I think she’s beautiful, but I’m not sure that I think this is her best look.

Oh well, she’s got all the time in the world, and Hef’s money, to try out crazy styles.

So what is going on with Hef’s two other girlfriends?

There was the recent announcement that Kendra Wilkinson will be moving out of the Playboy Mansion next season to do her own spinoff show, there are rumors flying around the gossip mill that Holly and Hef may be getting more serious. Wedding bells? I don’t know how that will work. Hef is supposedly still legally married to his second wife, Kimberley Conrad. Conrad and Hef’s two sons Marston, 18 (Hef’s middle name) and Cooper, 17 live next to the Playboy mansion in a $7 million home purchased by the Playboy mogul to keep them close. Kimberley and the boys visit the mansion regularly. In fact, Tuesday night is “family night” and there are no girlfriends around. Hefner and Conrad split in 1998, but the two are still technically married. Hef would have to officially divorce Conrad in order to marry Holly.

In addition, Hefner’s other girlfriend Bridget Marquardt was overheard talking about a huge wedding coming up, and that she would be moving out as well. “She said they (Bridget and Kendra) will be moving on since Holly is Hef’s main girlfriend.”

What do you think?  Should Hef finally get a divorce and marry Holly?  Sorting out the finances of that divorce would probably take years.  Conrad has been Hef’s wife legally for almost two decades.  Or should Hef just leave Holly a nice chunk of change in his will so that she is taken care of after his death?  I watch the Girls Next Door and Holly has hinted on more than one occassion that she wants the Playboy mansion.  I think it should go to his children.
