Crystal Harris may have backed out of her wedding to Hugh Hefner and opted to instead party at Wet Republic Pool in Las Vegas, but Heidi Montag (randomly) insists that she still loves him.

"She knows what’s right for her life and it’s her life and you only have one,” Heidi told Ryan Seacrest Thursday morning on his radio show. “I know that she loves Hef very much."

No word on when or why their friendship began.. perhaps they were introduced by the Shannon Twins? Either way, they looked to be having a ball together in Vegas on what would have been Crystal's wedding day but Heidi insists that the photos didn't show the whole truth.

“In between photos, it was really hard. It was kind of hard for me to even get her there and to kind of smile and kind of put her head high,” Heidi said. “It was mutual between her and Hef and I think that she just kind of wanted to have a little bit of fun and forget everything that was going on, even if it was just for a few moments.”

Crystal Harris and Heidi Montag made an appearance at Wet Republic on what would have been Crystal's wedding day on June 18, 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Of this event, Harris said, "I just had to get away; today is the day, and I just had to get away."

As if calling off her engagement in order to get more publicity for her just released single wasn't enough, Crystal Harris was spotted trying to pawn her engagement ring.

TMZ reports that Harris was seen trying to cash in on her $90,000 sparkler at Prospect Jewelers in La Jolla, CA. This comes just days after Harris was quoted saying, "It was a mutual decision between the both of us. I’m giving Hef back the ring."

Unfortunately for Harris, even after calling the mansion directly, she was unable to get any documentation on the ring and therefore left the jewelry store with out the one thing she's been striving for all along, MONEY!

Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt have all visited the Playboy Mansion to visit with their ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner after his sudden break-up with Crystal Harris (5 days prior to their wedding day). But Kendra Wilkinson is taking a different approach.

"I'm leaving him alone right now -- he needs someone at this moment to talk with, and I don't want to be another leech," she told Life & Style at the NBC Universal VIP party during the Cable Show 2011 at Privet Nightclub in Chicago.

"I had my dress picked out and everything," Kendra adds. "I thought it was a joke, too, until I figured it out. I really feel bad for him."

By now, I'm sure you've heard that Crystal Harris has called off her engagement to Hugh Hefner. On top of first agreeing to marry him, which I find to be a commitment one should stick to or not agree to at all, she waited until just 5 days prior to the event to break the news.

Now, Harris' rep, Michael Blakey has confirmed the split to Us Weekly saying, "Crystal shared the sad news with me."

Never to miss a good opportunity, he continued, "Crystal will now be focusing on her music career and her new single 'Club Queen,' which was released today."

As if that wasn't enough, the bitch even took their dog!! Poor Hef just tweeted, "Crystal took Charlie with her when she left & I really miss him."

Really? Crystal, you are CLASSLESS and you should really be ashamed of yourself.

Just 5 days in advance, Crystal Harris has called off her wedding to Playboy's Hugh Hefner. 

TMZ reports that over the weekend, Crystal and Hef got into an argument on the phone which lead to her packing up and vacating the mansion -- and leaving her groom in shock.

I guess Holly Madison was right about her!

The wedding, which was to go down on Saturday, was to air on Lifetime next month. No word yet on whether they will air any of the footage.

UPDATE: Hef just tweeted, "The wedding is off. Crystal had a change of heart." Really? She has to wait until the wedding was less than a week away? Wow. No respect.

Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris will walk down the isle on June 18, 2011 at the Playboy Mansion and now you can be there to witness it, well, sort of.

Lifetime will air footage of the events leading up to the wedding including the wedding planning, bachelor/bachelorette parties, the bridal shower, and a few pre-wedding vacations, followed by an up-close view of the ceremony and reception.

The 2-hour special, Marrying Hef, will air on Lifetime on July 13 at 8:00PM.

Reality star and Vegas performer Holly Madison recently called it quits with boyfriend Jack Barakat, and shared her views with Buzznet about love and marriage.

Despite their breakup, Holly had nothing but nice things to say about her former rock star beau, even revealing that she admires him. “It’s funny that you mentioned Jack in the question before, because the first thing that popped into my head when you said what do I admire about other people, is Jack’s ability to balance work and fun in his life. He’s a really hard worker, but still has time for the people in his life and to have a good time. Sometimes I think all I do is work and I need a little more balance in my life! Balance is key.”

In addition to Jack, the reality star has been linked to some big Hollywood names including Hugh Hefner and Criss Angel, but is she thinking about marriage?

Holly told Buzznet, “Perhaps, though I’m more concerned about having children in the future than getting married. Marriage is not the best thing that can happen to you, as a woman. If I woke up one morning and discovered I was getting married (be it to anyone) and that everything I’d accomplished for myself in the last few years was all a dream, I’d be devastated!”

So what’s up next for this independent woman? “I have several diverse business projects coming up in the next year that I am really excited about. In the super-near future it’s all about shooting Season 3 of Holly’s World and developing another show, but as one of the producers, not as the star.”

Hugh Hefner is happier than he has even been thanks to his fiancee Crystal Harris.

The 85-year-old Playboy founder will marry the 24-year-old blonde beauty at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles on June 18 and Hugh - who has been married twice before - insists Crystal is the only woman for him.

He said: "I'm devoted to her. This is as happy a time in my life as I've ever had. I feel very fortunate."

For Hugh, having a happy home life is especially important as he admits he had a strict upbringing and sought comfort in movies when he was a child.

He told Total Film magazine: "I grew up in the 30s and 40s. 'Frankenstein', 'The Bride of Frankenstein', I loved them. 'King Kong' was my favourite.

"I didn't exactly come from a home full of hugs and kisses.

"It was a typical conservative, puritan home and I was quite a solitary child, a bit of a dreamer. Movies showed me another world and sparked a desire in me."

It's just a few weeks until Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris tie the knot -- all the details are set, and the wedding invitations have been sent out.

But rather than heading to Bed Bath and Beyond to create a registry, the couple has asked their 300 guests to make donations to select charities in lieu of gifts.

"It was actually Crystal's suggestion and I thought it was a great idea," the Playboy founder tells Us Weekly. "The point of it is, we don't need gifts. A lot of people are in need and the notion of giving to charity instead of giving gifts to us just made sense."

The charities that Hefner, 85, and Harris, 24, chose include Children of the Night, an L.A.-based foundation that's dedicated to ending child prostitution; charity: water, a non-profit that aims to provide clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations; and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. "No child is denied treatment, and it's a wonderful organization," Hefner adds.

The bride- and groom-to-be are "expecting a full house" for their wedding, due to take place at the (where else?) the Playboy mansion in L.A. on June 18. As for wedding-day jitters, Hefner jokes, "We’re waiting for responses to our invitations. If we don’t get enough responses, we won’t get married!"

But The Girls Next Door star is "very excited" about the big day. "Crystal is wonderful and she's done a really terrific job so far with all the planning. She is the one for me!"

While some playboys get cold feet when it comes to matrimony, Hugh Hefner tells Us Weekly he's not worried about marrying centerfold Crystal Harris this summer.

"I'm not nervous at all, I'm excited," says the Playboy founder, who celebrated his 85th birthday with a Casablanca-themed bash last weekend. "June is a big month -- Crystal and I will be in London opening a new club, then we'll come back and get married at the mansion! It's going to be a very special year. It's the Chinese year of the rabbit, so the bunny is back!"

While Harris, 24, has made most of the arrangements, Hefner says she does ask for his input, and is a "relaxed" bride-to-be.

"Everything is in place," he says. "She's wonderful and she's done a really terrific job so far with all the planning. She is the one for me!"

And the Girls Next Door star had nothing but good things to say about ex-girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson, who's competing on this season's Dancing With the Stars.

"I have absolutely been watching. And voting!" Hefner tells Us. "I call in. And I've been telling others to vote for her as well. I think she's doing great. There's nothing fake about Kendra. She's a very special lady."

The guest list at Hugh Hefner's wedding has mostly been set, but there's one former flame who won't be in attendance.

"I think Holly Madison has expressed publicly that it would be a little strange if she was there and I respect that," the Playboy founder told PEOPLE at his 85th birthday party at Las Vegas's Palms Casino Resort.

As portrayed on E!'s Girls Next Door, Madison hoped to marry Hefner but eventually moved on and relocated to Las Vegas. Hefner, meanwhile, moved on to 24-year-old Crystal Harris, whom he will wed on June 18. The feud between Madison and Harris has been well documented.

As for Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt, the two other women who costarred with Madison, they are invited, despite Wilkinson's recent claims that she has yet to receive a "Save The Date" card from the couple.

"She knows she's invited," Hefner said. "The invitations haven't gone out yet."

Hefner, himself, is a little surprised that he's taking another trip down the aisle.

"I never expected to get married again," said the previously twice-married Hefner. "But the reality is I can't see myself with anybody else, and I just want to give the relationship that kind of formal statement. I think Crystal deserves it. I love happy endings."
