The July issue of Playboy magazine hits newsstands Friday, and the cover line is "America's Princess: Introducing Mrs. Crystal Hefner."

The cover seems to confirm that, though Crystal Harris said the decision to cancel her Saturday wedding to Hugh Hefner was "mutual," he didn't see it coming.

Hefner, 85, has been updating the public on his feelings since the two split and Harris, 25, moved out of his mansion Tuesday.

He first Tweeted, "The wedding is off. Crystal has had a change of heart." Since then, he's said:

"Since we're not getting married on Saturday, I've scheduled a movie: "Runaway Bride." Seems appropriate."

And Hef re-Tweeted a fan's Tweet:

"Omg @CrystalHarris left @hughhefner the day her single came out on iTunes. Coincidence? I think not."

Online reports Wednesday said that Harris had supposedly called off the wedding in hopes of getting paid for a tell-all about her relationship with Hef.

In an interview with Ryan Seacrest Wednesday morning, Crystal Harris was, in Seacrest's words, "chipper" as she told him that the decision to call of her wedding to Hugh Hefner was a mutual one involving little drama.

But The New York Post reported Wednesday that Harris had secretly planned all along to ditch Hef at the alter in hopes of a $500,000 media deal.

Apparently the Playmate, 25, wanted the money for providing a tell-all after she dumped Hefner, 85. She shopped the deal idea around and there was interest.

The two started dating in January 2009 and got engaged in December. Harris' manager, Michael Blakey, said of the supposed deal: "Not true, to my knowledge."

One thing seems clear: Hefner did not see the split coming. He has been posting his feelings on the incident via Twitter. He first Tweeted, "The wedding is off. Crystal has had a change of heart." Since then, he's said:

"Since we're not getting married on Saturday, I've scheduled a movie: "Runaway Bride." Seems appropriate."

And Hef re-Tweeted a fan's Tweet:

"Omg @CrystalHarris left @hughhefner the day her single came out on iTunes. Coincidence? I think not."

The women brought out the big guns when it came to fashion at the 2nd annual amfAR Inspiration Gala at The Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Hugh Hefner's ex fiancee (as of Tuesday) Crystal Harris gave an interview to Ryan Seacrest Wednesday morning to explain why she suddenly called off her wedding only days before it was scheduled to happen (it was scheduled for Saturday).

The Playmate started off the interview with "Hi! I'm doing good!" to which Seacrest responded, " ... You sound chipper." She quickly changed her tune, saying, "I'm doing OK."

Says the Playmate on 102.7 KIIS FM:

"I called it off because I didn't think it was the right thing for me to do. ... For a while I've been having second thoughts ... I didn't think it was really fair to him. ... It was all happening too fast for me."

Internet rumors Tuesday were that the two had a blow-up fight and Harris, 25, moved out. She paints the incident in a more calm light.

"It was mutual between Hef and I. There was no fight ... He understood. We both agreed that it wasn't the best idea to get married. ... He was doing it for me because he thought it was what I wanted."

Hef seconded that via Twitter, saying:

"The TMZ report that Crystal & I "had a nasty argument," prompting her to call off the wedding, is untrue. There were no arguments."

Ultimately, Harris says that the Playboy life Hefner, 85, leads was too much for her. "This isn't the lifestyle for me; multiple girls all around, it's not the lifestyle I wanted," she said.

Harris told Seacrest that Hef is "doing great."

She confirmed that she has moved out of the Playboy mansion, but, denied the rumor that she's dating someone else -- supposedly Dr. Phil's son, songwriter Jordan MacGraw. "Of course, I have plenty of friends in the music business," she said.

"Next steps are work on more music and excited for the single to come out ... I'm working on a whole album. ... I sing, I write."

The former Girl Next Door also talked about what her relationship is with Hef now and whether Hef will marry again ... see what she said after the jump!

When asked about the vibe of the show, Goco explains:

The real inspiration of course is Britney herself. We’re creating the show for her. But there’s a creative script that was done by the director, Jamie King, and it’s a whole thing about a femme fatale, and femme fatales throughout the ages … she’s sort of changing personas throughout the show.”

From a striptease costume, a shimmering silver outfit, a snake charmer outfit, a Marilyn Monroe-inspired dress, mirrored gold jacket to a kimono featuring a “Japanime Britney” ... Brit is NOT going to disappoint her fans with her fabulous fashion!
