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."

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."

Following Hugh Hefner's tweet that teased Karina Smirnoff as the May issue cover of Playboy, ABC reportedly is frantic about the kind of attention that "Dancing with the Stars" will get. "If Karina posed naked, she can kiss her dancing days goodbye," a show's insider told PopEater. "I hope for Karina's sake that this isn't true."

"DWTS", despite skimpy clothes and sexy dances, is categorized as family TV. Karina, reportedly has violated the terms of her contract by posing nude for the cover without getting a consent from the show's bosses. "ABC publicity department controls the image of this show with an iron fist. It's a cash cow and they are not going to allow its reputation to be soiled by a dancer who wants to do Playboy," an ABC source said.

In fact, the execs have applied the theory on host Tom Bergeron. "Just a few weeks ago, ABC PR stopped Tom Bergeron from doing a live webcast with an outlet they didn't approve of. I can only imagine is going on right now after Hef's tweet," the source added.

Karina's issue of Playboy would be out later this month, possibly while she's still dancing on the show with surprise favorite Ralph Macchio. Rep of the pro dancer and ABC are yet to comment on the report. But it's not likely that ABC will give Karina a harsh treatment because this season is featuring another woman who has posed for Playboy, Kendra Wilkinson.

For weeks, it’s been rumored that Claire Sinclair would land the title of 2011 Playboy Playmate of the Year, even though magazine mogul Hugh Hefner won’t officially unveil his pick until May 7 here in Las Vegas.

But late last night, it appeared to become official with news from The Playboy Mansion in L.A. that Claire had won the voting over her two nearest rivals. I’m reliably told that she’s already shot the full pictorial for the upcoming edition that celebrates her title.

Crystal Harris is wasting no time making her union to Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner more than official, and now Radar Online is revealing some of the hush-hush details!

"This will be the most romantic wedding ever," Crystal boasted in an exclusive new interview.

Set to wed Hef on Saturday, June 18, Radar Online can reveal that Crystal has made a decision on the most important detail for the big day: her gown.

The bride-to-be, 24, will wear a Ramona Keveca design when she says her 'I Do' to 84-year-old Hef.

"No expense is being spared for the wedding," Playboy spokeswoman Kellie Olisky told Radar Online. in an exclusive interview.

"It isn't even a compromise, because Hef wants Crystal to have the wedding of her dreams."

June 18 is when the happy couple will tie the knot at the world famous Playboy Mansion and every detail is set to reflect Crystal's romantic, whimsical and simple visions.

The decor will be an elegant theme, with pale summery hues; but the one thing Hef wanted -- and got -- was bright flowers.

"Hef asked that the flowers be bursting with color and this will look great with Crystal's lighter colored theme everywhere else," Olisky told Radar Online.

DJ Cassidy, who is performing at Cocahella with Kanye West, will be spinning tunes at the reception while veteran musician, Ray Anthony, will also be playing!

The couple will be keeping the wedding small -- at least by Hollywood standards -- inviting around 300 guests.

Designer Ramona Keveca has also the bridesmaid dresses, with Crystal having her two sisters and Anna Berglund, Miss January 2011, as attendants.

Hef's brother Keith and two of his sons, Marston and Cooper, will form the groom's party.

"The day is going to be a testimony to their love," Olisky said.

Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson is peeved that she has yet to receive an invite to his upcoming nuptials with Crystal Harris, and the wedding day, set for June 18, is fast approaching. Wilkinson is now threatening to attend another wedding that day, one she has rightfully been invited to.

Kendra should bank on attending the alternate wedding since sources close to Hef's betrothed tell PopEater that Harris is on the fence about whether she wants her big day packed with an audience of women her husband has slept with.

"This is Crystal's special day, and she doesn't want all of Hef's exes there," a friend says. "What woman would?"

It's a fair question despite the liberties typically taken in Hugh Hefner's personal relationships, where he has lived with several girlfriends at once.

Kendra says she doesn't blame Hugh, but she does blame Crystal.

"It's Crystal that does the wedding planning. She's the girl," Kendra told E! Online. "If she doesn't give me a save the date soon, I'm going to have to put in my save the date with the other wedding."

This may be the third wedding for Hef, but it is Crystal's first. And though their relationship got off on a nontraditional foot, what with Crystal sharing Hef with the Shannon twins, she wants her marriage to be a traditional one and that means no more sharing.

This wedding is sure to be a media circus, so a save the date would likely go through Kendra's publicist before it gets sent to her personally anyway. Still, the reality star shouldn't hold her breath. That other wedding sounds like it will be just as fun, but we feel bad for that pal, who now knows they're second fiddle.

He's 84 and worth $43 million ... she's 24 and knows he's worth $43 million -- yet sources close to Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris tell TMZ neither has uttered those dreaded words ... "prenuptial agreement."

Hef's third wedding is just 10 weeks away, but we're told he hasn't raised a prenup convo because he "actually cares" about Crystal and doesn't want to ask her to sign one.

We're told Crystal doesn't think Hef will bring it up before they tie the knot.

Holly Madison isn't dwelling on her split earlier this month from beau Jack Barakat.

The Holly's World star and Peepshow Las Vegas dancer has her head buried in work: Her Vegas-themed book, The Showgirl Next Door, hits shelves April 15. On top of which, she's working as Extra's Sin City entertainment correspondent.

But that doesn't mean she's stopped searching for Mr. Right.

"I would love to meet my soul mate," Madison, 32, told PEOPLE Wednesday. "I'm always kind of keeping my eyes open for somebody."

Based on prior experiences, Madison believes finding the one will be challenging. "It's hard for me," the reality starlet says, referring to her rigorous work schedule. "The last couple relationships I had were long distance, [and] it's not like I can make much of an effort to travel and see anybody. The guy had to do all the work, unfortunately."

So, how can a guy meet Madison's standards?

"It definitely takes a guy who is secure and not overprotective and doesn't feel threatened by a successful woman," she explains. "He needs to be patient and somebody who knows where he wants the relationship to go."

For now, Madison is getting by just fine going solo.

"I'm happy single, but I'm happy in both cases," she says when asked if she prefers being single or taken. "I feel like I definitely thrive more as a human and I'm more successful when I'm single."

As for Madison's past dating life, it can be relived on E!'s True Hollywood Story: Holly Madison, which premieres March 30 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, and features interviews with her ex, Hugh Hefner, and former Girls Next Door housemates Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt.

Hugh Hefner's fiancée, Crystal Harris, is doing more than just making music with her songwriting partner, Jordan McGraw. The Life & Style Scene Queens can exclusively reveal that Crystal -- who got engaged to Hef in December -- has been caught with another man...and it's Dr. Phil's son, Jordan!

We watched the 24-year-old lovebirds cozy up at the Chateau Marmont in LA on March 14. While Crystal was hoping to keep their romance low-key, Jordan didn't care to hide his affections, kissing her shoulder and trying to hold her hand -- still adorned with her 6-carat engagement ring. Despite Crystal's impending June 18 wedding date to the Playboy founder, sources tell us that she and Jordan are very happy together.

"They've been sneaking around because Crystal is supposed to be happily engaged to Hef, and going out in public with Jordan would tarnish Hef and Crystal's relationship image," a source tells the Scene Queens.

The pair met through the Organica record label, where until recently Jordan worked with Crystal as a songwriter. "Jordan was let go from Organica for dating female clients under the label," the source says.

Michael Blakey, president of the Organica Music Group tells us, "Jordan McGraw no longer works for the label, and to the best of my knowledge, Crystal is very much in love with Hef." He adds, "Jordan and Organica departed ways amicably and are looking forward to collaborating on future projects. I can only imagine that Crystal and Jordan were together for song writing purposes." Says a rep for Playboy, "Jordan and Crystal have a business relationship."

With a June wedding on the horizon, Hugh Hefner and fiancée Crystal Harris huddled close all night at the Playboy Golf Lingerie and Pajama Party at the Playboy Mansion in L.A.

The two "looked smitten," according to a source at the soiree, where the soon-to-be 85-year-old also received a life-sized birthday card from Playboy Golf CEO Ajay Pathak and a bevy of Playmates.

Hugh Hefner was among the audience at Monday night's Dancing with the Stars premiere.

The Playboy founder attended the 12th season's first performance night to support former girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson, who is one of the 11 celebrities competing for the Mirror Ball Trophy.

The 84-year-old, who attended with fiancée Crystal Harris, later tweeted: "We had a wonderful time tonight lending our support to Kendra on the season premiere of Dancing With The Stars (sic)."

Wilkinson sent a message to Hefner on her own Twitter account, writing: "Thank you so much for coming, so good seeing you guys."

The Kendra star, who performed the cha cha with partner Louis van Amstel, had earlier told fans that she was "nervous and excited" ahead of her dancefloor debut.

"I have been working my butt off getting ready for this and I can't wait to make you all proud on the dancefloor!" she wrote on her official website. "I've learned so much thanks to my incredible partner and teacher Louis. He has been so amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better dance partner."

Dancing with the Stars continues next Monday at 8/7c on ABC.

Hugh Hefner, 84, is one step closer to tying the knot with his 24-year-old bride, Crystal Harris.

The twosome will wed at the Playboy Mansion June 18, a Playboy rep confirms to Us Magazine.

"It will be intimate with a close number of friends here at the mansion," Hefner has said of the nuptials. "No big blowout affair. Something very personal."

An insider tells Us they've set the list at less than 300 guests and that Harris is close to making one other important choice: the gown.

The insider says the Playmate -- who nabbed a $90,000 ring from her fiance -- is eyeing a strapless dress by designer Romona Keveza.

Holly Madison may not have been thrilled to hear of ex, Hugh Hefner's engagement news -- but was she jealous? Not so much.

"I think everyone expected me to feel one way, they expected me to be really jealous," the reality star, 31, who split with the Playboy magnate, 84, in 2008 after seen years of dating, tells Us Magazine. "But it's not how I feel. We've been apart for two years. I just want him to be happy."

Continues Madison, whose face-to-face meeting with Hefner and his new fiancee Crystal Harris, 24, aired on her reality show, Holly's World, "I'm more protective than anything else. I just wanted to make sure he's making the right choice."

It helps that Madison, who's hosting Saturday's Leather & Laces Super Bowl party in Dallas with fellow Girls Next Door alum Bridget Marquardt, has a new man in her life: All Time Low guitarist Jack Barakat.

"He's totally cool -- really down-to-earth, she tells Us of her beau of five months, who will be joining her for the Super Bowl festivities. "We're both really busy, but we find a way to make it work. I like having someone as busy as me, its a good match up I think."

After Holly Madison couldn't get Hugh Hefner to marry her, she comes face to face with the magazine magnate after his recent engagement news. Awkward!

Taking a break from Las Vegas, Holly comes back to Los Angeles and visits the Playboy mansion. Once there, she and her former flame are reunited for the very first time since he became betrothed to Playmate Crystal Harris. The subject at hand is the white elephant in the room -- with neither wishing to address it.

"Thank you for visiting," Hef says. After a long pause in which the two avoid eye contact, he eventually turns and asks "How are ya?"

Holly quickly offers a peppy reply of "really good!" After some small talk, Holly finally blurts out, "Congratulations on your engagement!"

Hef thanks her and the two hug, but Holly's eyes appear to be brimming with tears.

Kendra Wilkinson has come a long way since she was first introduced to us several years ago as Hugh Hefner’s brash, booze-lovin’ number three girlfriend on the hit E! reality series “Girls Next Door.”

She’s now the star of her own self-titled show, an author, and an entrepreneur. But most importantly, she’s mother to one-year-old Hank Baskett IV, happily married, and she credits her husband, NFL wide receiver Hank Baskett, for bringing faith into her life at a time when she was seeking something more than just Playboy parties and mindless mayhem.

“Of course our number one priority is to be parents, but we’ve got to that point where we are not going to be ashamed of stepping outside and having a couple of drinks and be wife and husband. That’s our thing now – we are not going to be ashamed anymore,” she continued.

Speaking of spouses, Wilkinson wasn’t surprised that her ex recently proposed to his current live-in girlfriend, 24-year-old Crystal Harris. Wilkinson said the magazine mogul didn’t marry Madison because, even though he is well into his 80’s, he simply wasn’t ready to settle down.

And although Wilkinson is only 25, it has still been a battle to bring back that pre-baby body – well, that was until she discovered a metabolism-boosting “magic potion.”

“When I got the six week clearance from the doctor (after giving birth) I worked and dieted but I didn’t pay attention to my metabolism,” she said. “But within the last couple of months I’ve been focusing on my metabolism with the health supplement Ab Cuts and it has been amazing, my magic potion! It’s the metabolism booster I needed.”

Emotional fireworks exploded on last night’s Season 2 premiere of Holly Madison’s E! Entertainment reality TV show Holly’s World. The platinum blond bombshell was shell shocked from all sides as she tackled Peepshow producer demands that she lose weight, former love Hugh Hefner announcing his engagement to Crystal Harris and Playmate Jayde Nicole’s bizarre takeover attempt as her Las Vegas rival.

Moments after I sat with her for the premiere screening last night at Extra Lounge at Planet Hollywood, Holly told me: “I’ll always have a place in my heart for Hef. We were together for seven years. I thought we’d get married sometime and have children. You don’t ever forget something like that! That was my dream and hope. I don’t know how I am really supposed to feel about all of it. I had a lot of different emotions and thoughts on it.

“We went through a lot together. I wanted to settle down. I thought we were headed to being exclusive and then marriage and family. I had to go to The Mansion to confront him and Crystal. This was kind of a shock! I had to film that, so it was my exact reaction and words and not distorted later elsewhere. You will see exactly what happened there next Sunday. Hef didn’t mind the cameras because he lets his life be a very open and honest book. I had to know he was all right. I was being very protective. There are many girls who would take advantage of him, and I had to know he was OK.”

Just 5 hours before the premiere, I’d talked exclusively with Holly in a wide-ranging interview. She told me: “I’m really excited for the new shows. I think it’s a way better season than the first season. Last year, you got to know us, and this year you’re seeing how we deal with life as it throws the curve balls at us. There’s no time to pre-plan anything. It’s all as it just happens even if we are not comfortable about it. It’s a lot of drama that’s very confrontational.

“It’s really dramatic. There are a lot of challenges for all of our characters, and the humor as a result is really funny. We’re still smack in the middle of shooting it, so there’s a lot more surprises to come from me. The filming runs four days a week and will continue through March.”

Five times in last night’s debut, Holly’s friends branded Jayde a bitch, and I’m reliably told that she will vanish after a few more episodes. “I really think she came into Vegas determined to take over what I had accomplished here,” Holly confided. “It really made for some serious tension. There was no need for some of her stuff. She invited Josh out on my birthday as her date and wound up making out with him -- that was seriously bad. So think of it as a fleeting appearance.”

Holly confirmed that Jayde hadn’t seen a preview of last night’s show where Laura and Josh ridicule her and the gift she sent reminding Holly of her upcoming 32nd birthday, which they promptly dumped in the garbage! Josh’s comments about the tainted gift were some of the funniest moments in last night’s high dramas.

Jayde Nicole has come a long way in five years. Rising to fame as the Playboy Playmate of the Year in 2008, Jayde has been turning heads for Hugh Hefner’s famed magazine ever since she first appeared as the Playboy Playmate of the Month in January 2007, but that was only the first step for the beautiful brunette who would go on to greater fame thanks to her role on The Hills.

Now, less than a year after that show ended, Jayde has moved on to another reality-based series, this time with former Playboy model Holly Madison and her show Holly’s World. Joining the series for the second season, which debut’s on E! on January 23, Jayde chatted with me last week to tell me all about her adventures since she became a Playboy Playmate, and what it’s like living in Holly’s Las Vegas themed World.

“Yes, that is for sure. If I was 20 again and somebody asked me what I would be doing in four or five years, there’s no way I could have ever predicted that any of this would be happening. Going from model to [Playboy] Playmate to Playmate of the Year and reality TV and everything has been so exciting and so much fun, and a great learning experience, and a big change of course from my life back home in Port Perry in Canada, but definitely a lot of fun.”

“Yeah, it’s totally different. I walked into The Hills when it was four seasons in and all the characters were established and there were a lot of changes going on when I came into it. I had no idea what I getting myself in to; I was totally out of my element and I didn’t know what to expect and it was very, very dramatic and they really messed with your relationships and they made you fight when you weren’t fighting and create situations that weren’t happening in real life just for exciting television. And I mean it worked, and the show was very exciting and very dramatic, but it really messes with your real life and relationships with people, and it became a very emotional, dramatic experience.”

“Filming for Holly’s World, I kind of knew what I was getting myself in to at this point, so I’m a little bit better equipped to handle the filming of reality TV, but it’s also just a lot more fun. I get to have a lot of my girlfriends around me, and a lot of my real friends, and real relationships, and just get to have fun and live my life, and it’s just a lot more enjoyable.”

“I’m still not used to people calling me a celebrity. I still go to the mall and stores with no makeup and in my pajamas and I do not prepare myself for it and I still am completely in shock and awe when people come up and meet me and ask me for pictures.”

“It’s not really hard. I mean it’s definitely an adjustment in your mindset of how you see yourself and how your friends see you and it just kind of takes some getting used to. Maybe for me one thing that I need to get better with is not looking so much like a bum when I go out because there are paparazzi everywhere and there are people who always want to have their picture taken with you and I just hate getting ready. That’s just the worst part–people seeing you off guard when you look your absolute worst, which I always do when I’m not working because I hate getting ready. That part is the only thing that irritates me, but I still rock the no makeup and the pony tail when I go out. I haven’t changed yet but I’m sticking to it.”

“You know what, I just saw the preview for what’s up this season on Holly’s World yesterday for the first time, and it totally caught me off guard. From a complete outsiders view it looks awesome.”

“You know, it’s hard for me because I adore Holly and I love Holly and I came into the Playboy Mansion right when Hef and Holly were in the middle of their relationship and they were so happy. Even though it has been a while it’s still kind of hard for me and a lot of the other Playmates to see him engaged to someone who is not Holly, but I know he’s in love and Crystal is a sweet girl and they’re very happy together, so I’m very happy for them.”

A new love at the Playbody Mansion is making bunny fur fly.

Playboy founder Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriend Holly Madison and her reality show costar are making no secret of their low opinion of Hef's new fiancée, Crystal Harris.

Madison, 31, has been reluctant to speak about Harris, but when pressed by PEOPLE, her on-camera sidekick Josh Strickland said, "We don't really know her that well, but the few times we've seen her, it's been a cold shoulder. We really haven't done anything to her."

Madison then jumped in, saying Harris's true colors can be seen in an un-aired scene. "They really need to show that birthday footage," Madison says after mentioning that Hef's gal, 24, appears in an episode of her show "for a second."

"Crystal called us clowns in a circus," adds Strickland of the alleged tape. "It's just kind of like, 'Who the hell are you?' "

But Harris's camp denies any animosity.

"Crystal has always been extremely friendly to Holly, and if that wasn't the case, then Holly wouldn't be continuing to return to the mansion," Harris's manager Michael Blakey tells PEOPLE. "She doesn't understand why Holly and Josh would make these allegations. She has no ill feelings toward Holly at all. Crystal believes this is a misunderstanding. I know her very well, and I've never heard her say an unkind word about anyone."

As for Hefner, 84, Madison's thoughts about his engagement – which will play out in the second episode of her show this season – are complicated.

"I don't really feel just one way about it," says Madison, who is also the star of the Vegas show Peepshow and the face of AMIClubWear clothing line. "It's not really something that's easy for me to sum up, so I need to get all the layers of my feelings out. I just wanted to see Hef and go up and talk to him about it. There's definitely a lot of pressure. People expect me to feel a certain way."
