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.

It's all about the money baby!
She reminds me of that girl that used to be in that Lee Major's show in to 80s, maybe this is her grand daughter?
Money. She's after the money. Oh, and 'fame". She needs to be famous, too. In 2 weeks we'll see pictures of her and Paris....
She's not even playmate material. I'd like to with most of the women I've seen in Playboy. But not this one.
Hef, make her sign a prenup and see how many tears she bursts into then...
There is no amount of money that can erase the mental image of 84 year old yam bags.
Who? Heather Locklear?
I hope she is a nurse.
lets do the math how many times does 84 go into 24
Hef went to nut on her face and all that came out was cobwebs and dust
Heather Thomas and the show was The Fall Guy
...Who cares about what this old bag, bags? There are much more important things to worry about than Hugh's impotence and her lack of integrity...
Is she Heather Thomas grand daughter??
Just Nasty.
Just jelous!
AGREE TOTALLY!
One word: ridiculous
one word:HATER
Yuck. Like marrying your granddaughter's BFF.
I'm sure his ex Holly isn't too happy. She really wanted to marry him–old relic that he is.
yes I agree and I think she really loved him. This is ridiuclous...why would anybody else want to marry him other than money? Holly actually fell for him and nurtured and loved him and would have been their to the end. This one maybe there til the end....since it doesnt seem to be that far away.
Who says all marriages need to be abouit true love? Throughout the ages, marriages have been about all kinds of things, love and otherwise. Both of them are getting what they want. I'm sure Hef knows that he's not romantic figure of a 24-year-old's dreams. Who cares? It works for them for as long as it works for them.
It is still eeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwww
Blessed guy. Whatever they saw in each other and loved is their business. Let threm be happy folks. Let's us shut up.
This guy is absolutly disgusting.
There is something wrong with this guy.
So he's disgusting because he's attracted to a youthful, decent-looking female... but you're fine with her posing naked for money and then marrying, ostensibly, for fame and money? I guess I missed the part where he held a gun to her head...
Just wondering when is she planning the divorce ? And profit sharing, and .... well..... disgusting
Wow,
Money, and Power
Got to get me some of that , ordinary really does suck.
it doesn't matter who wish tie a wedding knot with whom provide the respect of the knot kept intact.
We don't let gays marry, yet we let straights make a farce of marriage when they do stupid crap like this. No way this marriage will last until death. Then again, maybe I'm wrong... he's got one foot in the grave already.
Oh man, that is just plain nasty.
The image of her oralizin' on an geezer's nasty old prune and figs.
Uugh, jeez, louise, what some hos will do for a dolla!
I bet a fame monster like that would eat a dog sausage off the sidewalk if she was told she'd get a column in the local grocer's flyer.
"oralizin' on a geezer's nasty old prune and figs"...
"what some hos will do for a dolla!"
"would eat a dog sausage off the sidewalk"
Oh, Ha Ha. Ha Ha Ha . EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT!
Love this guy!
Get it on, Hef!
