In Single Girl’s News Today:
The Playboy founder, 84, is engaged to Crystal Harris, his 24-year-old girlfriend and Playmate, a Playboy rep confirms to UsMagazine.com.
Hefner first Tweeted about it on Sunday. “When I gave Crystal the ring, she burst into tears,” the Girls Next Door star wrote. “This is the happiest Christmas weekend in memory…I got what I was hoping for for Christmas…Crystal’s love.”
In other news: Hugh Hefner tweets! Or, probably more accurately, has a young college-age employee who tweets for him!
To make his news absolutely clear, the mogul then added: “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.”
It will be the third marriage for famous bachelor Hefner. He wed first wife Mildred in 1949 (they have grown children Christie, 58, and David, 55) before divorcing in 1959. In 1989, he walked down the aisle with Playmate of the Year Kimberley Conrad, and they went on to have sons Marston, 10, and Cooper, 9. The duo’s divorce was finalized last year.
It wasn’t all that long ago that Hefner was “dating” both Harris and both of the Shannon twins. All just publicity stunts, you say? Yeah probably. Still. I dunno: does it make it better that he’s down to one woman now, and that he’s marrying her? Sixty-year age difference and all?

This is all so 1989-ish.
