Criss Angel
Gossip

Perhaps the love between good friend Kendra Wilkinson and her new husband Hank Baskett rubbed off on Holly Madison.

Or maybe Criss Angel has performed his greatest magic trick yet.

But whatever the motivation, Star Magazine reports that the former Playboy model has rekindled her relationship with the Las Vegas magician. The couple had broken up in March.

“Holly still had feelings for Criss, so around mid-June she gave him a call,” said a source. “She was thrilled when he asked to meet for drinks. They’ve seen each other a few times since!”

Guess Madison won't be going back to Hugh Hefner after all. Sorry, old man.

Good luck choosing sides in this feud.

At the conclusion of his magic show in Las Vegas Friday night, Criss Angel called out celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton.

"I have to recognize someone special here in the house," said Angel, according to a witness. "Perez Hilton, please stand up.... We have the world's biggest douchebag asshole in the house!"

According to reports, Perez Hilton smiled broadly and replied: "Thanks for the free tickets."

Why did Angel berate the blogger?

Sources say those close to the magician - who has somehow dated Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and Holly Madison - saw Hilton's Twitter page, which carried real-time updates of the supposedly awful show. They read: "unbelievably BAD!" and "I would rather be getting a root canal."

It's time to choose a side in this battle between blowhards. Whose team are you on?

For Criss Angel and Holly Madison, the magic is over.

Following four months of dating and even rumors of an engagement, this couple has pulled the final rabbit out of its hat. The former Playboy Bunny and freaky magician are no longer an item.

"She was very much in love with him, and they're still very close friends," a source told E! News. "It was a conflict of schedules. She felt she couldn't devote 100 percent of her time in Vegas and his career at the expense of her career and her goals."

Madison will "come back to L.A. and pursue her career," the insider added, while we assume Angel will return to somehow bedding stars such as Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears.

Congratulations, Holly Madison and Criss Angel. You're sort of engaged!

According to E!, the couple was spotted at Berger & Son Fine Jewelers in Las Vegas on Christmas Eve, checking out rings.

A witness claims "they were looking at one ring and Criss said, 'Would you marry me?'"

Madison's response?

"[She] didn't say anything. She just looked at him."

Looks like the magician will need to pull a different trick out of his bag if he wants to hook this Playmate.

Holly Madison and Criss Angel are on the verge of marriage, along with undeserved celebrity gossip attention.

Kendra Wilkinson is engaged to Hank Baskett.

Might fellow Playboy model and reality TV star Holly Madison be next?

Not yet, according to Madison's new boyfriend Criss Angel.

Holly Madison assumes her usual position with boyfriend Criss Angel.

The annoying magician got Hugh Hefner's ex a diamond ring for her birthday last week - but it wasn't that kind of ring, Angel says.

“Everybody is going to think the ring is an engagement ring when they see it. Don’t let all the rumors start... when I do get engaged, I’d have a much bigger ring that would really be bank-busting expensive."

An actor who's brought magic to the screen and a guy who's brought it to Vegas showrooms and many women's pants both celebrate their days of birth today.

Happy birthday, Criss Angel and Jake Gyllehaal!

In addition to being a fine-looking fellow, Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the brightest acting stars in Hollywood today. As for Criss Angel? Well, dude sees Holly Madison naked. That's pretty much all he needs on his resume at this point.

So, here's a little photo tribute to our birthday boys. Also celebrating one today? Kate Bosworth boy toy / alleged model James Rousseau! Sorry, James. No room for pics of you, handsome as you are. Kate has a gift for you, we'd imagine.

Look away, Hugh Hefner!

The Playboy founder's ex-girlfriend has gone public with new squeeze Criss Angel. Holly Madison was spotted with her man at LAX Nightclub in Las Vegas Saturday night, looking almost as old as her former lover. Years in the spotlight haven't been very kind to the often-naked model.

Yes, Angel and Madison are holding Blow Pops in this photo. We'll let readers make their own jokes about that. Go!

Criss Angel is definitely seeing Holly Madison nude. And we don't mean in the pages of Playboy!

After weeks of rumors that the magician and ex-girlfriend of Hugh Hefner were dating, the pair finally outed itself last night at the opening of Angel's Cirque Du Soleil show in Las Vegas.

"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," Angel told People Magazine.

Following the performance, Angel and Madison headed to a private after-party, hand-in-hand, heart-to-heart. Awww!

Criss Angel has reportedly had sex with Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Cameron Diaz, Minnie Driver and now Holly Madison. Will this magician ever reveal his tricks?!?

No one had a worse night at the MTV Video Music Awards than Britney Spears.

But the two gentlemen pictured below came close:

Tommy Lee got into a fight with Kid Rock, all because they've both seen Pamela Anderson nude. As if this isn't true for half the free world.

Meanwhile, Criss Angel had spent the last two weeks claiming he was hanging out with Britney Spears in order to help the hot mess with an illusion for her performance. But all the audience saw were a few minutes of awful lip synching and lackadaisical dancing.

This makes it fairly obvious, to paraphrase a Jerry Maguire quote, that Angel has been "shoplifting the pootie of a single mother."

And that's just wrong.

No, he's just a man-whore.

"I just live my life," the Vegas magician and Mindfreak star tells Parade magazine about his way with women - such as Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Cameron Diaz and, yes, Britney Spears.

Of the sightings of Angel and Spears, he tells Parade, "She contacted me regarding some live performances. I've designed and created effects for even Steve Wynn's hotel and Le Reve show. It's what I do. They brought me on to discuss the possibility of working on some stuff with her."

"Being that I'm insanely busy, the only time that I had was in the evening. And she was busy doing stuff, so we met in the evening."

Britney? Busy? Doing what, parading around in no underwear and abusing her kids?

Criss Angel also says that he and Britney Spears haven't been left alone together, insisting that "What people fail to see is, when we meet up, there's a lot of other people around a bunch of the time." Except for, you know, between 2-9 a.m. in his hotel suite.

With Angel publicly clashing with estranged wife JoAnn Sarantakos (Angel's real name is Christopher Sarantakos), the 'Freak is asked if he finds the coverage embarrassing.

"Marriage is a very sacred thing. I believe that my divorce is a private matter," he said. "Unfortunately, people think money makes you happy. It doesn't. Money doesn't buy love."

Of Sarantakos, he says, "The thing is, my wife was misguided by her lawyer, who is a celebrity lawyer, who is just out for attention."

Sarantakos' attorney, Dominic Barbara, had no comment on Angel's remarks.
