Criss Angel and Cirque du Soleil hold a press conference Friday in preparation for the premiere of "Believe."
* Criss Angel and Holly Madison made it official that they are seriously dating, and their romance has gone public. Criss had told me that he and the blond Playboy beauty planned to walk the black carpet together -- arm in arm -- just an hour before the curtain went up on the world premiere of his new Cirque du Soleil show "Believe" at The Luxor. And that's exactly what happened. Holly watched the show with her "The Girls Next Door" co-star Bridget Marquardt and Criss’s mom and aunt but then be back on the illusionist’s arm for the gala poolside party afterward.

Criss promised to talk to me about their new love match, but he assured me earlier this week that it’s not a publicity stunt. He finally admitted that “it’s the real thing,” and that the rumors of their long series of weekend dates since her breakup nearly three months ago from 82-year-old Playboy king Hugh Hefner were in fact true. Holly even told me on the patio at Lavo in The Palazzo one evening, while waiting for him to complete a preview show, that Criss had invited her to be his special date for tonight’s world premiere.
