Crystal Harris denies cheating with son Dr. Phil after canceling the wedding to Hugh Hefner

Crystal Harris has strenuously denied claims she cheated on Hugh Hefner with Dr. Phil's son, Jordan McGraw.

The 25-year-old made the admission after backing out of her planned wedding to the 85-year-old Playboy founder this weekend, at his famed mansion.
It all started when reports emerged after the cancelled nuptials that the young blonde was having a secret affair with songwriter McGraw.

The pair were reportedly spotted together at the Chateau Marmont back in March this year.
McGraw was apparently seen 'kissing the blonde's shoulder and trying to hold her hand', according to Life & Style magazine.
But Crystal's representatives say the claims are completely false. 
'That is absolutely not true,' Harris' manager Michael Blakely said. 'It's a complete fabrication'
Blakely said that the relationship's dissolution was an mutual decision.
'It was an amicable split up, and they will remain good friends,' he told the New York Daily News.

News that Harris called off their wedding was confirmed today, when sad bachelor Hefner took to his Twitter simply writing: 'The wedding is off. Crystal has had a change of heart.'
It was first reported that the weekend nuptials were canned after the couple had a huge argument.
Sources at the mansion told Radaronline that after their fight over the telephone, Crystal decided to move her things out of the multi-million dollar home.
Hefner and his bride-to-be were scheduled to tie the knot this coming Saturday in a lavish ceremony.

Fashion Faceoff: Jessica Simpson vs. Katie Holmes

Drop what you're doing, fans of fashion! It's time for yet another round of the game that we non-celebs love and that actual celebs probably hate. Today, we put actresses-turned-designers Jessica Simpson and Katie Holmes head-to-head wearing the same embellished Isabel Marant jacket. The only question is ... who wore it better?
Jessica chose to pair her jacket with Daisy Dukes, a white T-shirt, and platform heels while out last month in New York City. The 30-year-old singer/actress accessorized with a large turquoise ring, an oversize patterned handbag, and, of course, her football player fiance Eric Johnson.

In the Big Apple two days later, Mrs. Tom Cruise wore her jacket with dark denim flares, nude shoes, and a pair of dark shades. The 32-year-old "Kennedys" star also sported a ponytail, minimal jewelry, and toted a basic black bag.

Unfortunately, there's really no way Jessica could win this one, thanks to her tacky shorts. While Jess has made plenty of fashion missteps, Katie Holmes is almost always chic -- both on and off the red carpet -- and here is no exception. The former "Dawson's Creek" diva -- who is half of the upscale label Holmes & Yang -- looks polished and pulled together just by keeping everything other than her busy jacket simple. Who knew that Joey Potter would grow up to be such a stylish celeb?

Who wore the Isabel Marant jacket best?

Kate joined The Royal recycling: the Duchess's favorite coat provide an extra outing

She has injected new life into the monarchy with her much-admired sense of style.
But it seems the Duchess of Cambridge is also following a considerably older royal tradition – recycling favourite garments.
At a church service yesterday to mark the 90th birthday of the Duke of Edinburgh, Kate wore the same periwinkle blue Jacquard coat dress that she donned in 2009 for the wedding of her husband’s close friend, Nicholas van Cutsem.

She paired it with the £175 nude LK Bennett heels that she has sported several times recently – which are identical to pairs owned by her sister Pippa and mother Carole.
And a day earlier, the 29-year-old attended the wedding of close friend Sam Waley-Cohen in the same black and white silk cocktail dress that she wore on a night out in London with Pippa in 2007, during her brief split from William.

By dusting down her old outfits for high-profile occasions, the Duchess echoes the policy of the Queen and the Princess Royal, who both take great delight in getting the most out of their wardrobes.

Dirk Nowitzki: Antics were 'childish'


MIAMI -- Dirk Nowitzki didn't find anything funny about the Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade and LeBron James coughing and cracking jokes about being sick in front of cameras, calling it "childish."

Wade and James didn't mention Nowitzki's name, but it appeared they were mocking the Dallas Mavericks superstar while walking out of the American Airlines Center following Thursday's shootaround, before Game 5 of the NBA Finals. That's certainly how Nowitzki, who battled a sinus infection that caused a 101-degree fever during Dallas' Game 4 win, perceived the incident when he watched the video.
"I just thought it was a little childish, a little ignorant," Nowitzki said before Saturday's practice at AmericanAirlines Arena. "I've been in this league for 13 years. I've never faked an injury or illness."
Wade, who referred to Nowitzki's sinus infection Thursday as "the fun-loving story of him being sick," claimed Saturday that he didn't pretend to cough.
"I actually did cough," Wade said. "And with the cameras being right there, we made a joke out of it because we knew you guys were going to blow it up. You did exactly what we knew.
"We never said Dirk's name. I think he's not the only one in the world who can get sick or have a cough. We just had fun with the cameras being right in our face about the blowup of the incident, and it held to be true. You blew it up."

James did not clarify whether his cough was fake or not. He declined to discuss the incident.
"I'm not feeding into that," said James, who has been heavily criticized for performing well below his standards during this series. "If you guys want to feed into everything that not only myself or D-Wade or the Miami Heat do, I think that's a non-issue. There's bigger issues in this series than that."
Nowitzki, who is averaging 27.0 points and has consistently dominated in crunch-time during the series, agrees with that point. With the Mavericks up 3-2 in the Finals, Nowitzki's focus is solely on closing out the series to claim his first championship.
While the coughing and joking by Wade and James annoyed Nowitzki, he said it wouldn't influence his demeanor during Game 6.
"It's over to me," Nowitzki said. "It's not going to add anything extra to me. This is the NBA Finals. If you need extra motivation, you have a problem.
"So we're one win away from my dream, what I've worked for half of my life. This is all I'm really worried about. This is all I'm focusing on."
