Holly Madison Talks About Love & Marriage

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.”

Hef Is "Very Fortunate" To Have Crystal Harris

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."

Hugh Hefner & Crystal Harris: No Gifts Please!

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!"

Hugh Hefner: 'Everything's in Place' for Wedding

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."

Holly Madison Won't Attend Hef's Wedding

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."

Are The GND Excluded From Hef's Wedding?

The save-the-date cards for Hugh Hefner's wedding to Crystal Harris are out — and it sounds like some of the Girls Next Door weren't invited!

Confronted with the reality that other people have already been receiving their invites, some of Hef's exes are now reacting to their exclusion from the special day. "If it were me I wouldn't want my boyfriend's or fiancé's ex-girlfriends at the wedding," Bridget Marquardt told In Touch at SVEDKA Vodka's Night of a Billion Reality Stars.

While leaving exes out of a wedding ceremony may seem expected, Bridget still seems a bit surprised. "The only thing I can say is that I think Hef is a little different… I always think Hef is an exception," she says. "It is an ex-boyfriend, but it's different for some reason.”

It is unclear whether the Girls Next Door will actually attend the wedding, but don't count on a large gift package from Bridget. "I will definitely send a card, but a gift? They don't need anything."
