How Crystal Harris spent her almost-wedding day

Playmate Crystal Harris spent Saturday, June 18th - the day she would have married Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner in a Lifetime TV special - at a pool party in Las Vegas with reality TV stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.

"I came to Vegas to hang out with my friends for the day," she said at Wet Republic, where she and Montag browsed the July edition of Playboy - gracing the cover as 'Mrs. Crystal Hefner' in his signature sailor hat and robe. "I wanted to get away from L.A. so I didn't have to think about the wedding."

The issue had already gone to print when the wedding was called off, which prompted issues to be slapped with a sticker reading "Runaway Bride in This Issue!"

Inside the magazine, an ad for Daniel's whiskey also congratulates the pair on their wedding.

Hefner spent his Saturday night in, watching Runaway Bride at the Playboy mansion with his Bunnies. "This was going to be my wedding day, but life is full of surprises. After all is said and done, staying single is probably for the best," he Tweeted last night.

Hefner's former girlfriend and Girls Next Door costar Holly Madison Tweeted that she was disgusted that Harris would flaunt her singledom at a pool party. "That's a new low," she said. "And whoever booked her is tacky."

Molly Sims' bling and proposal details!

Over the May long weekend, actress/jewelry designer Molly Sims accepted a surprise proposal from producer Scott Stuber, her boyfriend of the past two years. He popped the question inside her walk-in closet, a la Big and Carrie in Sex & the City. "I had just closed escrow on my house. I was having trouble having his house be our house. He was like, 'This is our house and our life and our future.'"

Stuber, who designed the Diane von Furstenburg ring himself with Sims' friend, a DVF executive, flew in Sims parents from Kentucky for the weekend, a surprise to the bride-to-be. Said Stuber at the recent Chrysalis Butterfly Ball in Los Angeles, with Sims on his arm, "Her mother is a southern woman, and I wanted to be a good Southern gentleman and go ask her parents in person, and bring them along."

And Sims, who says she has "no idea" how big her cushion-cut sparkler is (roughly 5-6 carats, says this site), loves her future husband's taste in jewelry. "He designed it. He did it with my girlfriend on his own. He surprised me; I never sent him a picture. He did it all."

The Wedding Day That Wasn't: Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris' cancelled nuptuals

Today would have marked the start of marriage between Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner, 85, and 24-year-old Playmate Crystal Harris, his girlfriend since January 2009. The wedding was set to take place in front of 300 guests in the backyard of the Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills, California. The bride would have walked down the aisle in a pink Romona Cabeza ballgown and Aruna Seth ballet flats. The couple had even intended for the wedding to be part of a TV special.

But Harris took to her website on Tuesday morning to announce the end of her engagement to the octogenarian billionaire. "After much deep reflection and thought I have decided to end my relationship with Hef," she wrote. "I have the utmost respect for Hef and wish him the best going forward. I hope the media will give each of us the privacy we deserve during this difficult time."

But immediately after Hef confirmed the split on his Twitter page, saying, 'It's true, the wedding's off. Crystal has had a change of heart,' rumours sprang up that Harris was secretly dating Dr. Phil's younger son, Jordan, and others speculated that the split was planned from the start. So though Harris had said she hoped for privacy post-split, she instead defended her decision to various media outlets, including a morning-after-the-split interview on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM morning show in Los Angeles.

"I called it off because I didn't think it was the right thing to do," she told Seacrest by phone. "It was mutual between Hef and I. There was no fight. We sat down and we talked about it."

"Not seeing someone else," she added. "For a while I've been having second thoughts about everything. I haven't really been at peace with myself lately. I didn't think it was really fair to him. It was all happening too fast for me."

Resilient Hefner, who has four grown children from two previous marriages, will be fine, Harris said. "He was only getting married because he thought it was what I wanted. Hef's doing great. His lifestyle isn't the most normal lifestyle, multiple girls all around. It's not the lifestyle I wanted. I respect him more than anything, and we're still going to be really close."

UK's 'Combat Barbie' gets married

Katrina Hodge, reigning Miss England and so-called Combat Barbie due to her status as Lance Corporal in the British Army, took the nation by storm when she showed that women in the military could also be drop-dead gorgeous.

Hodge secretly married fiance Neil (also a military man, whose last name can't be revealed for security purposes) in Sri Lanka in June for friends and family, after registering the marriage in Brighton, England in April. Neil is said to have proposed after the Miss England contest last July, where Hodge placed second. She gained the crown in November after the winner, Rachel Christie, was caught fighting in a nightclub brawl and stripped of the title.

Part of the rules of being Miss England and a potential Miss World candidate include being a single woman - but because she was crowned in November and the Miss World pageant took place in December 2009, before the June wedding, Hodge broke no rules. Still, she kept the marriage a secret until her reign as Miss England came to an official end.

The Daily Mail quotes Hodge as saying, "I'm just pleased my secret is out in the open now. I wanted to do my duty as Miss England and even though the wedding was planned, I had to keep it a secret until now because having the Miss England crown meant so much to me."

Hodge is said to have worn a recycled wedding dress for the ceremony, and may reveal her gown at a Miss England Eco party in Birmingham tomorrow.

Ringless Abbey Clancy still won't comment on status of relationship with Peter Crouch

British model/TV presenter Abbey Clancy is turning up everywhere without her engagement ring from Team England footballer Peter Crouch following revelations earlier this month that he's a cheating rat - namely a rat who bedded a teenage prostitute. But Clancy won't comment one way or another in regards to whether or not the pair are together or splitting - and friends tell The Daily Mail that's because "She feels very lost."

Adds the source, "Abbey is throwing herself back into work to take her mind off the painful situation. She still feels so angry, and isn't really speaking to Pete. She's also terrified of taking him back and then finding out there have been more girls. Abbey is feeling exhausted, anxious and tearful. She's said that things will now go either way but that it will work out for the best. She's going through so many different emotions at the moment - it's tough but she's a fighter. She's not gong to be easy on Pete, that's for sure."

Clancy has previously spoken of her trust in Crouch, once telling OK!: "There are loads of footballers who are happily married and you don't hear anything about them. Everyone chats Peter up, and it doesn't matter if I'm there or not. It amuses me and Peter doesn't take any notice of them."

Follow Elin and Sandra's lead and dump him, Abbey! No one needs that kind of crap!

Coco Rocha's wedding video

Coco + James // Short film from Americana Cinema on Vimeo.

Most couples hire videographers to capture the special moments from their wedding on video - but for Canadian-born runway model Coco Rocha and her new husband James Conran, for their wedding June 9th at Chateau de Challain in France's Loire Valley, their friends at Americana Cinema created a short film.

LOVE that wedding dress!

Kate Moss marriage rumours continue...

You know, it must be fun being Kate Moss over in England. No matter who she dates, no matter what she does, if there is a ring on any one of her fingers, she must be getting married - even if she's never done it before and she's never led anyone to believe she was all that interested in actually being married - especially with the caliber of men she tends to go out with.

Which is not to say that British rock musician Jamie Hince of The Kills is in any way comparable to the disaster that is Pete Doherty, who dated Moss on and off for years.

This week in Italy, Moss was spotted with Hince at the annual horse races in Siena, and The Daily Mail pointed out that the couple were wearing similar rings on their "wedding fingers," to match the matching anchor tattoos on their left wrists. However, a friend told the Mail, "Kate and Jamie are closer than ever. They aren't married yet. It definitely looks like they are practicing for married life!"

Though the couple has never confirmed it, the Mail reported in February that Hince proposed to Moss on her 36th birthday earlier this year. Despite having a reportedly tempestuous relationship ever since meeting in September 2007, sources say that Hince has been a good influence on Moss, who has struggled with drug and alcohol in the past. Also, friends claim he gets along well with Moss' eight-year-old daughter, Lila, with magazine publisher Jefferson Hack.

O'Hara and Lloyd, who began dating in April 2008, are said to be planning a lavish wedding perfectly fit for a 'footie' and a 'WAG' for 2011. This will be the first marriage for both.

Jamie Cullum and Sophie Dahl wed!

Following through on reports, The Daily Mail was right: British model Sophie Dahl and jazz musician Jamie Cullum were married on Saturday, January 9, 2010 in a winter wonderland-themed wedding at Lime Wood, an estate hotel in the heart of the New Forest, Hampshire in the south of England.

The couple, together since 2007, were married in a private ceremony for friends and family, and Dahl was reportedly thrilled over the country's recent snow woes because it only served to add to her wedding's theme. Guests were banned from bringing cameras to the ceremony and the couple turned down a lucrative offer from a magazine to exclusively cover the wedding day.

Dahl, wearing an ivory-coloured Versace-style gown, was walked down the aisle by her father, actor Julian Holloway. The venue was decorated by candlelight and flowers of blue eucalyptus, white roses, and black hypericum - her favourite flowers.

Cullum, who proposed to Dahl, great-granddaughter of author Roald, in March 2008, performed a song at the reception written especially for his new bride.

This is the first marriage for both.

Kate Moss engaged?

To help celebrate her 36th birthday on Sunday, January 17th, supermodel Kate Moss' boyfriend, The Kills' frontman Jamie Hince, asked the waif star to be his wife!

According to The Daily Mail, the rocker flew to the Indian Ocean island of Mustique where Moss was working to suprise her with a ring he'd picked out with her help of Moss' close friend, Topshop tycoon Philip Green.

A friend of Moss' told the Mail, "Kate was stunned. Jamie called her up and told her not to come home. He said he was flying out to Mustique. He had carefully picked a ring and chose her birthday to propose. It was the first time they had been alone together in quite a while and it was extremely emotional. Kate and Jamie are in a very good place, they already live together and this is the next step to settling down for good."

Moss and Hince, who were introduced by mutual friend (and Jude Law ex) Sadie Frost at a Kills show in September 2007, spent the New Year's holiday in Thailand with Naomi Campbell and her Russian billionaire boyfriend.

This will be the first marriage for both if the reports are true. Moss has had a series of high profile relationships since debuting as the face of Calvin Klein in the early 90s, including a four-year relationship with actor Johnny Depp, and a two-year gongshow with bad boy rocker Pete Doherty. She has a seven-year-old daughter, Lila, with ex-boyfriend Jefferson Hack.
