Former Girl Next Door Holly Madison has rekindled her romance with her former flame, illusionist Criss Angel.

Holly, 30, has been secretly seeing Criss again ever since she moved to Sin City earlier this summer to replace Mel B and Kelly Monaco as the new star of the topless revue Peepshow at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. Criss is also a popular performer in town.

The blonde broke up with the 41-year-old Criss last March after four months of dating.

“Holly still had feelings for Criss, so around mid-June she gave him a call,” says a Star source. “She was thrilled when he asked to meet for drinks. They’ve seen each other a few times since!”

Criss Angel is a pussy snatcher! The illusionist has been threatened with a lawsuit after allegedly stealing the cat of a Las Vegas variety show producer.

Jeff Beacher, the man behind the hit Sin City variety show Beacher’s Madhouse, has accused the “Mindfreak” star of refusing to return his cat Hamlet after he offered to care for the animal in 2007.

According to the New York Daily News, Jeff will seek punitive damages if Hamlet is not returned. So why did it take Jeff two years to take legal action against Criss: “I was a mess. I’m better now and want my cat back,” he explains.

Earlier this week, Jeff’s lawyer Robert Reynolds fired off a letter demanding Criss return the animal at once, writing: “After both of Mr. Beacher’s parents passed away due to cancer, his family’s cat was bequeathed to him by will. At the time, Mr. Beacher was residing at the (Las Vegas) Hard Rock Hotel. Accordingly, he allowed his friend Jennifer Madden to temporarily care for the cat until he moved out of the hotel.”

“Soon thereafter, while still grieving over the recent loss of his father, my client received a phone call from you (Angel) stating, ‘I took your cat. He lives with me now’… This action was against the will of Ms. Madden and Mr. Beacher. I also understand that you made further bizarre allegations, including, ‘The cat no longer likes you’ and ‘The cat and I have become close friends.’ …You and Mr. Beacher have repeatedly argued about the theft of his cat and your continued unwillingness to return it. Perhaps you are not aware of the legal consequences,” the letter concluded.

Criss Angel is no longer sticking his magic stick in Holly Madison.

The Mindfreak illusionist and Hugh Hefner’s former Girl Next Door have called it quits after nearly four months of dating.

The amicable separation has been blamed on a “conflict of schedules.”

“She was very much in love with him, and they’re still very close friends,” a source close to the former couple told E! News on Thursday.

“It was a conflict of schedules. She felt she couldn’t devote 100 percent of her time in Vegas and his career at the expense of her career and her goals.”

Holly, 29, recently moved out of the Las Vegas home she had been sharing with Criss. She is now living with family.

Here’s more on the Criss Angel ‘Phenomenon’ controversy.

‘Mind Freak’ Criss Angel got into an altercation with an audience member on the set of NBC’s supernatural show “Phenomenon” during Wednesday night’s live taping.

The incident involved contestant Jim Callahan, who took offense to comments Criss made as a “Phenomenon” judge.

“Criss jumped out of his chair, and was ready to battle it out.”
“I just think it’s comical quite frankly,” Criss told reporters.

“I will give you a million dollars of my personal money right now if either one of you can tell me specific details of what’s in here right now,” Angel insisted of an envelope he was holding.

“Ok man, I’ll tell you what I will tell you. I find you an ideological bigot,” Callahan responded as he made his way towards Angel.

“Tell me what’s in the envelope,” Angel kept repeating.

“Britney got wind of the fact that Criss was trying to use their relationship to get bookings. He insisted that he isn’t but she’s told him she doesn’t want to see him any more,” says a Hollywood spy.

“Apparently he was trying to get a Vegas residency and had said she would join him.
“She’s that annoyed she’s said she’ll only date women from now on,” the snitch continued.

With Team Britney on damage control, womanizing hypnotizer Criss Angel has decided to distance himself from Britney Spears’ seemingly shy 2007 MTV Video Music Awards opening number. Criss, who has previously denied a romance with Spears with an explanation of ‘designing show sets for last night’s performance, now claims he had ‘very little to do’ with the project.

BreatheHeavy.com tattles are dishing a juicy scoop on how Britney Spears’ much-hyped 2007 MTV Video Music Awards performance, directed by Long Island magic-maker Criss Angel, turned into this. MTV and the Palms Hotel reportedly forbid the officially fallen pop princess from performing her previously planned and rehearsed act over insurance concerns.

According to B.H:

….What Britney and Chris were planning was to do a set of mirrors and flotation. But when told to the Palms Hotel/Casino… the hotel flipped.

Britney’s original performance was to infact appear and disappear. To float through the air… and for much mature dancing.

Friends of magician Criss Angel tell Page Six that reports of the Long Island illusionist organizing a killer MTV VMA opener for embattled star Britney Spears are false, “She is just doing a straight-up performance of her new single, ‘Gimme More,’ ” a spy says. Instead NYP spywitness claim Criss is a “press whore” who’s just “using” Britney Spears.

The two “hooked up the night they met” and Angel has been “using her to get press ever since,” a snitch gushes. A Vegas spy tells the Post, “He doesn’t even really talk to her when they go out. This weekend at [club] LAX, they weren’t seated at the same table, but when the paparazzi were around he jumped in all the pictures. . . . The paparazzi all have his number.”
