Holly Madison has ditched one freak for another!

The Playmate and former # 1 girlfriend of Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner has left the velvet-robed geriatric for the infamous magician, Criss Angel.

Angel – who’s previous celebrity conquests include Britney Spears and Cameron Diaz – has been spotted out and about with Madison over the last several weeks in Las Vegas, and confirmed their relationship on the opening night of his new Cirque Du Soleil show, “Believe.”

“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 the crowd.

When Angel was asked how he’d managed to snag himself a Playmate, the illusionist replied: “I got lucky. I didn’t have a date and so she said, ‘I’ll come’. She makes me look good.”

After his opening show, Angel and Madison were seen heading to a private after-party hand-in-hand. They were later spotted by onlookers “kissing and snuggling.”

Ewww… that’s a ‘mind freak’ if ever I saw one!

Was the world’s most creepiest magician and the world’s trashiest trailer park mum actually an item all those months ago? Well, you’re about to find out, because Mr. Greasy Git himself, Criss Angel, has spilled the beans to OK! Magazine, supposedly revealing the truth behind his sudden attachment to Brits hip.

No, they weren’t dating at all, Angel says, but he was supposed to help out the struggling singer with her VMA performance that totally bombed recently. Like the rest of her projects, Britney decided to go “in a different direction” with her stage set-up come performance time, though Criss insists there’s no hard feelings on his part after behing shunned by the mother-of-two.

“We were supposed to do a creation of stuff that we worked on and it took a lot of dedication and work to do the things that we wanted to do,” Criss said of Britney’s MTV stage show. “Unfortunately for me, she didn’t really want to put forth that type of effort.”

No suprises there, buddy.

Despite the fact that Brits gave Mr. Angel a rather abrupt flick shortly before the show, the magician is adamant that things between them have never been better. “We’re still friends and everything’s cool,” he said.

Criss added of the performance mishap: “Basically I said, ‘Don’t worry about me. Do what you want to do. This is a big opportunity for you to do the VMAs, so if you don’t feel it, go with something else.’ And she chose to go with something else.”

Again, no surprise there. What I can’t quite figure out it why Angel’s continuing to stick up for Spears… perhaps it has something to do with still being able to mooch publicity off a train that hasn’t quite derailed just yet?

The struggling singer sent tongues wagging that she’d snagged herself yet another beau when she was seen holding hands with womanizing magician, Criss Angel.

Britney had her new man escort her to the Tower Beverly Hills Hotel Wednesday night, hand in hand, before the two disappeared to the privacy of Spears’ suite on the 11th floor for the remainder of the evening.

A rep for Mr. Angel scoffed at rumours of a romance, stating that the evening was strictly business-related.

“Britney is now being managed by The Firm, the same company that manages Criss,” Angel’s rep explained. “She reached out to Criss’ manager to set up a dinner. She wanted to talk to Criss and get his expertise on a potential upcoming live performance.”

Criss has recently been romantically linked to Charlie’s Angels actress, Cameron Diaz.

Cameron Diaz had nothing to do with the split between Criss Angel and his estranged wife Joanne, according to a statement released by the actress’ rep, Brad Cafarelli.

“Cameron and Criss went on only four dates over a month ago and have no current relationship,” Cafarelli said to the media today, slamming claims made by Joanne Sarantakos on the weekend that Diaz was the main cause behind her filings of divorce.

However, even if the There’s Something About Mary actress and kooky magician were still an item, there’s no way Sarantakos could accuse Cameron because she originally filed a petition to divorce Angel in 2006, and has been separated from him for well over a year.

In the statement, Cafarelli concluded, “These [false claims] are meaningless, attention-seeking attempts to unfairly and unnecessarily exploit Cameron’s celebrity by trying to involve her in matters she has nothing to do with.”

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

Joanne Sarantakos, the wife Criss Angel has kept a secret in order to boost his image to his female audience filed for divorce yesterday in a Long Island court, citing his weird behaviour and recent affair with Diaz as the final straw in their relationship.

At this stage, neither Angel or his lawyer have denied the affair took place.

I am not sure who has the worse taste here; is it Paris, or is it Criss?

Paris was in Vegas for Kim Kardashian’s 26th birthday party and Criss was there to try out his latest trick called the sleazy skank.

The trick requires great skill, as Criss amazingly takes a female celebrity and suddenly makes her pants vanish.

These pics seem to indicate that he had at least moderate success. Unusually there are no pics from after the show to see if the trick met with ultimate success, but on past experience, Paris has obviously been under the spell before. [Source]
