LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- Hugh Hefner and Playmate Crystal Harris' highly publicized wedding had been scheduled to take place on Saturday.

"I'm doing OK," Crystal, 25, told press at Wet Republic poolside club in Las Vegas on Saturday. "I just had to get away. Today is the day, and I just had to get away."

"After much deep reflection and thought I have decided to end my engagement with Hef," she said in her statement. "I have the utmost respect for Hef and wish him the best going forward. I hope the media will give each of us the privacy we deserve during this time."
On Tuesday, reports surfaced that Jordan McGraw was involved in the split. But, when asked if Dr. Phil's son was involved in the breakup, as had been reported, Crystal's manager shot down the rumor.
