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.

hes a sick chicken should be in jail for breaking the 10 comments
Hef likes to get the latest model. Go hef!! Heeeehaaa!!!
So the main trend I read here is that people (mostly women) are disgusted because of Hef's age. I assume this means, then, that these women will divorce their husbands when they hit 70+yrs?
She should be his great grand-daughter, well she probably imagine he's Chace Crawford or Cristiano Ronaldo when she's in bed with him and in return think of all the money she will inherit in the future.
Meds are the only thing keeping this walking corpse alive !!!
A man is not to be old if he spent his life in Islamic lfe style.
This is a marriage based on true love.
Money is the root cause of all things possible and impossible!
Heff is a lucky man.
Crystal is a happy woman.
Look at some Kings and Emperors, some had thousands in their harem.
Men by their biological nature, are unquenchable leachers.
Women, on the other hand, are providers.
Do you see the biology at work? These two seem to be a good match.
I do worry that Heff is too old for the quenching part!
I would not shorten my remaining years the way he is going about!
Good Luck, Heff!
OLD BALLS!!!
it is just a lust
You got to love it! Hugh Hefner is admirable because he lives his life as he wishes and doesn't care what jellous, moralistic, or age-discriminating people think. He got rich on his own idea when the establishment was against him. Because of these life-inspiring values, he is truly someone to look up to. They sure look happy to me, and they sure look like they respect and care for each other, so what is the problem? The young lady is free to do as she wishes. I wish them good luck!
Now, that's exactly what I mean.
All women are gold diggers.........maybe in your trailer park.
