Who says May-Miss December romances don't work?
Hugh Hefner, the 84-year-old Viagra-popping founder of Playboy, is tying the knot for the third time.
This time the lucky gal is 24-year-old Crystal Harris, December 2009 playmate of the month.
“When I gave Crystal the ring, she burst into tears,” Hefner posted on his Twitter account. "This is the happiest Christmas weekend in memory."
“Yes, the ring I gave Crystal is an engagement ring," he clarified later for those asking if it was merely a Christmas present or a step forward for the couple.
Hefner posted that he and Harris spent the night before Christmas watching a movie, then exchanging gifts. Hefner had a few for his girlfriend, which Harris tweeted pictures of, including the legendary diamond Playboy watch.
His big gift was the engagement ring. It was a "memorable Christmas Eve together," Hefner tweeted.

Hefner's love life has, of course, been well documented – including the popular reality show showcasing a trio of girlfriends in "The Girls Next Door."
Hefner and his previous wife, 1988 playmate of the year Kimberley Conrad, were married in 1989 and separated in 1998. They divorced this year. Now Hefner will walk down the aisle half a century after his first marriage in 1959 to Mildred Williams.
But if you think Hef might not be the exact icon of monogamy or a perfect relationship, he begs to differ. In an interview with RadarOnline.com after the breakup of Sandra Bullock and Jesse James, he said more than anyone, he knows all of the sides to a relationship – and what makes one work.
"I was married and completely faithful for eight years," he told Radar. "I lived a single life, a playboy lifestyle, before and after it, but while I was married I was faithful to it." Hefner told the New York Times magazine in July that he uses Viagra – which he called "God's little helper" – a couple of times a week.

Ahh finally he got lifetime sponsor from viagra company.
It's nice to know that there are still young girls today who marry only for true love!
Sadly, the number of women marrying for true love instead of financial security is dwindling.
According to the magazine, there are are no former playmates. Once a playmate, always a playmate.
she looks 'pure plastic'.. but i suppose his d ick must be too at his age..so its a perfect fit..
That's because vampires are members of the undead.
Goes to show that every woman has her price, especially a fake-looking blonde with equally fake body parts. Give her enough money and a cute 20-something would sleep with Hitler or Brezhnev.
just can't imagine...
He may as well enjoy this life while he can. He will be dead soon enough, followed by an eternity burning in hell.
And you know this because...?
ApeHanger, I don't have to explain anything to you. If you disagree that's fine. That doesn't make it any less true.
I guess the deal makes up for her having to swallow her vomit every night.
/facepalm
As a woman you set your own value. If you are willing to lower yourself to an old geezer, that is what you get. If you have high self-esteem, you get the best men, even younger than you are. Life is interesting that way. I wish somebody had told me this when I was young... Anyway, the money Hef has doesn't compensate for the dried out prune she has to touch for the next few years. i am convinced, these girls are submissives who love being degraded.
Ah, me hears the pot calling the kettle black. Prunella, quit looking in the mirror, wishin', and postin' nonsense!
I wonder how old their baby will be when it's born.
Well Phil, it takes one to know one. Now you remember how old you were when you were born so you're telling your true age. So, straighten out your back, try to walk faster, get out of that rocking chair, and throw away your cane!
Newborn infants do not have an age; unless one counts time in- uterro.
Good grief...
U go grampa give her what she wants $$$$lol
This girl's picture just replaced Anna Nicole's in the dictionary next to the word "bimbo."
She beats out some old broad his age.
