Holly Madison: Breaks up with magician Criss Angel

Holly Madison, the 'Girls Next Door' star, and magician Criss Angel have called it quits.

"Criss and Holly are no longer a couple," his rep tells Us. "They remain very close friends and wish each other the very best."

A source told Us about their relationship earlier this month, which began after she split with Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner last October, was on the rocks.

"All she's doing is following Criss Angel around to all of his magic shows, with no legitimate job to speak of," said an insider. "She's still heartbroken and regretful about how things went down with Hef.

"Then she ran into the arms of Criss Angel ," the source told Us. "But then it's like, 'This is not everything I thought it would be.'"

29-year-old Madison and 41-year-old Angel began dating late last year after she split with Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner last October.

On Dec. 19, the two seemed to be in high spirits around the holidays, celebrating their joint birthdays at Las Vegas' LAX Nightclub.

"I made Criss a paper ring, but he won't wear it," she told Us. "When he starts wearing his paper ring, I will be the one to propose."

Angel added, "You know, what Holly and I have is really something that money cant buy. She is enough for me."

Madison and Angel also met each other's parents around the holidays.
