Girls Next Door star Holly Madison admitted late last night (Monday) that she and 82-year-old Hugh Hefner have apparently called it quits. The 28-year-old blond beauty who has been recently linked with Mindfreak magician Criss Angel here in Vegas, was "ambushed" by paparazzi video and still cameras as she left a Los Angeles restaurant. She was out with two friends for dinner and didn't celebrate Hef's second-year anniversary of his Palms Playboy club here. (CLICK HERE for our report on that yesterday)

Now Holly has also admitted that she has moved out of the mansion and into her own condo, although she will be returning to the bunny-hutch HQ's for filming and events. She confirmed that she will be returning for a sixth season of the E! Entertainment reality series but there will be major changes. Holly said she would be attending Hef's final Halloween mansion party and she will be going as Elvis Presley with a "taking care of business' necklace that she displayed for the cameras.

Holly Madison and Criss Angel, shown in a previous photo at Cathouse, were spotted early this morning, again at the Luxor nightspot.

Then she dropped the bombshell. " I can't get anybody invites for it. Hef and I are no longer and I don't have any more pull up there."

Its unclear this morning if she was serious - or joking. However, fever-pitch speculation has broken out early today (Tuesday) in Hollywood that she's now headed here to Vegas to meet up with Criss. They were spotted together on a series of recent weekend dates-- and photographed together at the CatHouse at the Luxor, where they've been seen several times together, and the Blush boutique nightclub in the Wynn. He is in previews with his new Cirque du Soleil show Believe at the Luxor and is only 24 days away from its Halloween world premiere.

Even if Holly's split with Hef is final and permanent we know she won't be Criss's date that night because she'll be at the Mansion in an Elvis Presley disguise and Criss will be hosting a red-carpet star-studded first night party.

Insiders at the Cirque show say his illusion-driven musical spectacle continues on track improving nightly with new changes added and existing scenes dramatically tightened for effect. He is still getting standing ovations nightly and talking to audiences after the show explaining how previews are used to make a show work perfectly for audiences from opening night onwards.

In the audience for Believe last night (Monday) were superstar singer Celine Dion, manager husband Rene Angelil and their eight-year-old son Rene Charles. Criss met them backstage afterwards and gave pint-sized Rene a set of his Master Mindfreak DVD's that shows easy tricks for children. Celine's family is on a mini-vacation at their Lake Las Vegas home in-between North American tour-dates for her ongoing Taking Chances tour. It's believed that while here, Rene will meet face-to-face witrh Caesars Palace and AEG concert officials to discuss possible dates for Celine to return to the Colosseum next year after her tour ends in February!
