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.

Creepy!
Is that a lizard in a red sweater?
84 year old junk....Yes, I'm sure she's in love.
Even with a pre-nub she will get what she wants out of this. Money and 15 minutes of fame.
Caution: Gila monster in breeding
I'll bet Hef's Wiki leaks!
That is just toooo...funny. THANK YOU !
Who wheeled that old lizard on to the red carpet?
Lizard on the loooooooose!!!
Crypt Keeper: Looks like I just bought 7 years' bad luck! Speaking of bad luck, it's time for another nasty little terror tale from my crawly collection... and this one's got a message, too. It's a story about greed, death and a girl, who learned that beauty... is Only Sin Deep!
[laughs maniacally]
Caution: Lizard Crossing Ahead!
Lizard Crotch! Bet his 84-yr old breath smells good! NOT!
Is that a scrotum on his necK?????
I cerainly don't want to egg you on, but that's eggzactly what they call a scrotum in Brazil: 'peru', which is the word for 'turkey' relative to the similarity in appearance between the turkey's wattle and the human scrotum. However, I fail to see much of a wattle hanging on the neck of the remarkably good-looking Mr. Hefner, considering the expectation of a rather prominent one at his age...
Another sudden thought about that: when my brother was in dental school many years ago at Marquette in Milwaukee, he introduced me to the term 'raltnee', which he defined as an erection so fierce that it stretches the skin on your face. If Mr. Hefner is taking Viagra twice a week, that might explain the absence of a wattle...
Does she like his for his 84 yr old scrotum or his lizard-like appearance? I have to ax myself that question! Doesn't get any more shallow than this broad.
ax...hahahahahaha
One thing is for certain - and you can take this to the bank - this broad had ZERO relationship with her dad. ALL broads that lack self-esteem like this chick can be traced back to NO relationship with her dad. You know it's true. Non-existent (or weak) father. Must be proud of his sl ut daughter.
This broad can look forward to a life of low self esteem. What a sl ut!
Gotta love the Hef, haters gonna hate because they don't get women like that and aren't extremely successful.
