Crystal Harris may have backed out of her wedding to Hugh Hefner and opted to instead party at Wet Republic Pool in Las Vegas, but Heidi Montag (randomly) insists that she still loves him.

"She knows what’s right for her life and it’s her life and you only have one,” Heidi told Ryan Seacrest Thursday morning on his radio show. “I know that she loves Hef very much."

No word on when or why their friendship began.. perhaps they were introduced by the Shannon Twins? Either way, they looked to be having a ball together in Vegas on what would have been Crystal's wedding day but Heidi insists that the photos didn't show the whole truth.

“In between photos, it was really hard. It was kind of hard for me to even get her there and to kind of smile and kind of put her head high,” Heidi said. “It was mutual between her and Hef and I think that she just kind of wanted to have a little bit of fun and forget everything that was going on, even if it was just for a few moments.”

Crystal Harris and Heidi Montag made an appearance at Wet Republic on what would have been Crystal's wedding day on June 18, 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Of this event, Harris said, "I just had to get away; today is the day, and I just had to get away."

Showing up for a belated birthday bash in her honor, Audrina Patridge was the picture of perfection at the Wet Republic pool in Las Vegas on Saturday afternoon (May 14).

The former "Hills" hottie stripped down to a multi-colored bikini as she and a group of friends hit up the MGM Grand locale to celebrate her 26th birthday (which was actually on May 9).
