Playboy's Hefner gets engaged to a Playmate again

[Ghost in the Machine]

Hefner said in a Twitter message early Sunday that he'd given a ring to girlfriend and Playmate Crystal Harris, saying she burst into tears.

To clear up confusion over whether the ring was simply a Christmas gift, Hefner later tweeted: "Yes, the ring I gave Crystal is an engagement ring. I didn't mean to make a mystery out of it. A very merry Christmas to all."

This would be the third marriage for the 84-year-old, star of E! reality series "The Girls Next Door," which chronicles Hefner's life at the Playboy Mansion. He divorced Playmate Kimberly Conrad last year.

Harris is 23, according to her online biography by E!

1. Yuck. Like being married to your great-grandfather.

What is with these women, anyway? Is power and money really that seductive?

[Geoff R. Casavant]

2. Christie must be pretty fed up by now.

Imagine having a stepmother young enough to be your daughter.

6. Oh, I imagine she finds it easy to ignore....

Given the vast $$ she's reaped from his escapades.

[CTyankee]

19. Sure. She'll get the money and he's gonna die, sooner than she is of course.

Who gets the better deal?

She gets set for her future and if she's smart she'll parlay the money into some good deal...this guy has one foot on a banana peel...he'll be outa here real fast...and she'll be laughing all the way to the bank...

3. I'm amazed anyone cares at this point...

Hugh Hefner-- another Playboy playmate.... woopee (Did the sun come up this morning, too?)

[LuvNewcastle]

4. That gives me the heebie-jeebies.

It would be like sleeping with a mummy. Or a piece of beef jerky.

[blondeatlast]

11. A life sized beef jerky describes it well. Eeeeuuuuuwww.... nt

[dana_b]

5. ew...

well, that's pretty judgmental of me and people find love in all kinds of ways but I have to admit it's hard to see the attraction for her (besides the typical reasons of fame and $$).

7. Hefner is a strange, little, old, washed up, thing.

[MNBrewer]

8. at least it's M/F

Baby Jesus crys when same sex marriages happen :sarcasm:

[seabeyond]

9. he needs someone to change his diapers.... nt

[LibDemAlways]

10. You can bet he'll have a high-priced lawyer draw up an

iron clad pre-nup. I'm sure he'll want the bulk of his estate and control of his holdings to go to his children. This latest bimbo better hope he doesn't trade her in for a younger model before he kicks the bucket.

Doesn't anyone believe in true love any more?

[seabeyond]

13. lol. ya, that's it. nt

[Jack Rabbit]

15. Purrr-fect response.

Is that your cat?

[Raine]

14. A younger woman for Hef would be a 60 year old

but 23 :wow: ECK :puke:

[delightfulstar]

16. All I have to say is...

:puke:

His two youngest would have a stepmom who is not much older than they are. That's some mighty strong Viagara he's using to have so many girlfriends at 84.

[CTyankee]

20. I don't think it's his Viagra that "turns them on," dearie...if you know what I mean...

[bemildred]

17. Thank God he's not gay!

:sarcasm:

[LuvNewcastle]

23. OMG! +1000

[PSzymeczek]

18. Reminds me of The Match Game

back in the '70s and the questions about the 102-year-old guy marrying the young girl.

[Occulus]

21. "My sister's husband was SO OLD..."

"HOW OLD WAS HE???"

"He was so old, instead of a hearing aid, he used a _______!"

[RaleighNCDUer]

22. It's Playmate roulette -

the one still holding the ring when he dies, wins.

[aikoaiko]

24. Bless his heart.

At least Crystal looks like a grown woman.

[girl gone mad]

25. I heard from someone "in the know"..

that Hef is gay and it's been an open secret for decades.

It just all made sense after that.. his obsession with Marilyn Monroe, the lavish costume parties, the drag queen inspired glamor of Playmates, the mansion, the smoking jacket, the dramatic flair, the show marriages.

26. Did she ask for a shovel for grave/gold digging as a wedding gift?

:rofl:
