So, Celebuzz reached out to Holly Madison, Hef’s former girlfriend who has not exactly been the biggest fan of Miss Harris. Her take on Crystal’s intentions? “‘I hope it’s for charity,” Madison told Celebuzz.

The ring is on sale at Christie’s, and the 3.39 carat circular-cut ring that any girl would kill for has a guide price of $20,000-$30,000.  A source told RadarOnline that Harris “couldn’t bear to look at the ring anymore because it brought back bad memories,” and therefore decided to put it on the auction block.

There’s no word on whether she’ll make Holly’s wishes come true by donating the money to charity, but here’s hoping she does.

Earlier this week, Holly made headlines by announcing that she had her breasts insured by Lloyd’s of London for a whopping $1 million, making sure her, um, assets are protected in case of an emergency.

Some might say she has the breast insurance in town. The reality star just took out a $1 million insurance policy on her breasts with Lloyd’s of London insurance company.

“If anything happened to my boobs, I’d be out for a few months and I’d probably be out a million dollars,” Holly told People. “I thought I’d cover my assets… They’re my primary money makers right now.”

She was eventually joined by her former Girls Next Door costar Holly Madison. The two blondes spent the afternoon catching up and enjoying the beautiful weather. Kendra even took time to party alongside of fans and pose for several photos.

Kendra has been proving that motherhood isn’t slowing her down. Just last week, she turned a number of heads last night at the Blu-ray release of Scarface, held at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles.

She looked mommy chic in an abstract floral print dress, complete with a cinched waist and nude round toe pumps at the CIROC Vodka-sponsored event.

I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant to advocate this type of a relationship. I remember times in the past when I flirted with the idea of becoming intimate with a friend but I’ve always feared the inevitability of losing the most important thing … the friendship.

I then remembered a story that made me second guess my initial ideology. I was 16 and friends with a fellow sophomore in high school — let’s call her Nancy. There were always rumors about her dating and being intimate with a senior — let’s call him Sid. Sid and Nancy always hung out together and nobody was buying their story that they were “just friends” because back in the day there’d be only one reason for a sophomore to hang out with a senior (you get my point). I was probably one of the few who believed my friend and discredited any rumors that were being spread throughout the school.  Sid graduated high school in 1995 and from what Nancy had told me, moved to the midwest to run one of the warehouses his family owned. Although they had kept in touch over the phone for the next few months, by senior year, I never heard Sid’s name again.

After graduation, Nancy and I grew apart. I knew that she had enrolled in college and later heard that at 26 she married and had a baby girl. A couple years back, Nancy and I ran into each other on a vacation she took to LA with a few of her girlfriends. She had told me that she was no longer with her husband of four years. We sat at the restaurant for about another hour when I noticed she was still wearing what I thought to be an engagement ring. Logically, I asked why she was still wearing her engagement ring. To which she responded, “I’m engaged…again.” “To whom?,” I asked. “SID!!!!” she said.

It turns out Sid had gotten married, had a kid of his own and then divorced. It didn’t take long before these “friends with benefits” looked each other up and started “dating” — for real this time. They had been living together for over a year outside the town in which I went to high school. So I guess, there are people out there who can benefit from a “friends with benefits” relationship. Although not right for everyone, it certainly was the right thing to do at the time for Sid and Nancy. Oh btw, that wasn’t the last big piece of news she dropped on me that evening … she was pregnant too!

Despite their breakup, Holly had nothing but nice things to say about her former rock star beau, even revealing that she admires him. “It’s funny that you mentioned Jack in the question before, because the first thing that popped into my head when you said what do I admire about other people, is Jack’s ability to balance work and fun in his life. He’s a really hard worker, but still has time for the people in his life and to have a good time. Sometimes I think all I do is work and I need a little more balance in my life! Balance is key.”

In addition to Jack, the reality star has been linked to some big Hollywood names including Hugh Hefner and Criss Angel, but is she thinking about marriage?

Holly told Buzznet, “Perhaps, though I’m more concerned about having children in the future than getting married. Marriage is not the best thing that can happen to you, as a woman. If I woke up one morning and discovered I was getting married (be it to anyone) and that everything I’d accomplished for myself in the last few years was all a dream, I’d be devastated!”

So what’s up next for this independent woman? “I have several diverse business projects coming up in the next year that I am really excited about. In the super-near future it’s all about shooting Season 3 of Holly’s World and developing another show, but as one of the producers, not as the star.”

Or at least that’s what SVEDKA’s calling it when you drink their vodka specialty cocktail Hot_Bot. Pictured here, the former Playmate is laying out at a private residence in Vegas being served SVEDKA’s finest by a chiseled waiter and a what seems to be a water hose attendant? It’s also unclear whether Holly’s friendly dog got a taste of that. Hopefully not, otherwise expect a new PETA feud in the coming days.

One-time Girls Next Door girl Madison has lashed out to People magazine about Hef’s new fiancée, Crystal Harris, claiming that the 24-year-old Playboy Playmate is more catty than bunny.

According to Madison, Hefner’s bride-to-be showed her true colors during an unaired scene from Girls Next Door, during which Harris allegedly trash-talked Madison and her pal and Holly’s World co-star, singer Josh Strickland. Madison huffs,

“They really need to show that birthday footage.”

Strickland adds,

“Crystal called us clowns in the circus. It’s just kind of like, ‘Who the hell are you?’”

He continues,

“We don’t really know her that well, but the few times we’ve seen her, it’s really been a cold shoulder. We really haven’t done anything to her.”

Harris’ manager, Michael Blakey, meanwhile, denies any bad blood between his client and Madison, claiming,

“Crystal has always been extremely friendly to Holly, and if that wasn’t the case, then Holly wouldn’t be continuing to return to the mansion. She doesn’t understand why Holly and Josh would make these allegations. She has no ill feelings toward Holly at all. Crystal believes this is a misunderstanding. I know her very well, and I’ve never heard her say an unkind word about anyone.”

Ladies, ladies; surely there’s a civil way to work out your differences. A pillow fight, perhaps?

Though I wasn’t lucky enough to actually attend Holly’s performance, I did score an interview with the former Hugh Hefner girlfriend!

Holly was promoting her second annual Christmas charity, the Jolly Holly Christmas Toy Drive, at Findlay Kia Dealership off of the strip. In between taking pictures with fans and organizing donated toys, Holly told me about her new life in Vegas and shooting her second season of Holly’s World. She told me:

“I love it here! I just signed on to do another year of Peep Show so I’ll be here for a while,” the soon-to-be 30 year old said.

Holly just started celebrating her “birthday month” and hosted her official birthday party at TAO nightclub in the Venetian Dec. 2. As far as her ambitions go, Holly told us she’s hoping to do one last thing with Playboy.

“I really want to write a coffee table book about the Playmates of the Year!”

Though she cut all business ties with the mansion two years ago when she left for Vegas, Holly said she still calls from time to time to check in with everyone.

But there were no sad faces there! Holly is looking more fresh and fabulous as the days go by. Check out the photos I took of her on my Windows Phone while at her appearance. She’s even more gorgeous in person!

The former Girls Next Door girl helped make Oktoberfest that much more festive in Las Vegas on Friday, donning a her variation on traditional German dress to tap the Oktoberfest Keg at Hofbrauhaus. (Please, gentlemen; no “I’d tap that” jokes.)

With her embrace of dirndl-dom, Madison has hopped upon a bandwagon that already includes such comely show-biz fräuleins as Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian and Hayden Panettiere. (See ‘em here, here and here, respectively.)

In honor of the 4th of July and all of the barbecuing that will surely take place this weekend, let’s click through our big, big gallery of celebs who aren’t afraid to dog it. It’s what the Founding Fathers would have wanted.

“Maybe when I’m getting older, but I’m done with it for now. I don’t like when people inject a lot of stuff in their face because then their faces move all weird.”

And as for the young gals who are considering a surgical transformation, Madison has some sage words of wisdom for them:

“I think when young girls are thinking about plastic surgery they need to go to a very wealthy house party in Beverly Hills. All they need to do is look at all the old people in the room and be like, ‘Oh, maybe I don’t want to get my lips done. Maybe I don’t want to get Botox,’ because you see how it ages.”

Well said, Ms. Madison. Besides, Holly’s way too busy for plastic surgery these days, with her new Las Vegas-based series Holly’s World. Check out all-new episodes starting this Sunday on E! Television at 10:30/9:30 Central.

The former Girls Next Door girl clowned around for the cameras at Las Vegas’ Suncoast Bowling Center on Saturday while participating in The 2nd Annual Bowl for the Fight, which raise money for cancer research through the time-honored charitable activity of bowling.

Nice to see that Holly could “spare” some time for a good cause. (Sorry.)
