Less than one month after leaving Las Vegas when her romance with Believe magician Criss Angel ended, gorgeous The Girls Next Door starlet Holly Madison is back on the Strip -- and conquering it as a power princess.

The platinum Playboy cover girl flew in yesterday with her Dancing With the Stars partner Dmitry Chaplin. Tomorrow night, Holly will show her assets and dance moves when she hosts her own celebration night at Prive in Planet Hollywood.

On Monday, Holly will appear on her third DWTS show live on ABC. Holly was a last-minute replacement for singer-songwriter Jewel, who injured her legs during rehearsals. Click HERE for our interview with Holly after her first week. I hope to run into her when she’s wrapped her workouts here and see how her Vegas rehearsals are going.

Meantime, I’ve learned that Holly’s picking up tips from Peep Show co-star Kelly Monaco, a fellow former Playmate and Dancing With the Stars’ Season 1 winner. You can bet ABC cameras are filming the two of them! Kelly is in rehearsals with co-star Mel B for adult burlesque revue Peep Showthat opens March 30 at Planet Hollywood. Today is the cast’s first day of rehearsals in their newly redesigned theater!

Holly returns to Hollywood on Sunday for a final round of rehearsals and then Monday’s dress rehearsal and live broadcast. At this moment, Dmitry and she are in the middle of the pack after Monday’s surprise elimination of former Go-Go’s singer Belinda Carlisle. The big question in 96 hours is if Apple founder Steve Wozniak will get axed on the next show.

Meantime, General Hospital star Kelly joined AFI lead singer Davey Havek and E! Daily 10’s Sal Masekela for a night of relaxation and fun after her own rehearsals at Body English in the Hard Rock Hotel.
