Playmate Crystal Harris: Hef's New Fiance

The couple obtained a marriage license Tuesday at a courthouse in Beverly Hills.

Harris called off the couple's previous engagement in June 2011, prompting Playboy to affix "runaway bride" stickers to an issue introducing her as Mrs. Hefner.

Celebrity website TMZ first reported the couple's license. It says they reunited earlier this year and plan to wed on New Year's Eve.

LA County Recorder Public Information Officer Elizabeth Knox says the license is valid for 90 days.

The Playboy founder has been married twice before. His spokeswoman Teri Thomerson didn't immediately return a message Tuesday.

Sorry I didn't go on at as much length as you. Yours list was boring enough.

At least we are sure she isn't a gold digger. (snicker)

She is probably thinking he doesn't have that much longer to live so she will still be young when he is gone. Then she will have that ugly old pervert's money to do whatever she pleases with. Disgusting to think about but some people would do anything for a buck they didn't earn.

She may as well use her "best assets" before she becomes old and wrinkled and nobody wants her.

As a woman once told me, she is using herself horizonally to move vertically.

Oh,Come Now!!Certainly she's marrying Ol'Hugh out of love(wink,wink-Vomit,Vomit!!).Just like the three bimbettes on "the Girls next Door",huh?!!I just wonder if they'll be able to remove him and any necessary parts out of Cryogenic Stasis in time for the honeymoon?!?

He'll pen a less generous pre-nup, but she'll still make out like a bandit.

Gross

No one said the oldest profession was pretty. It's just better than working if you have no (reason for) self-respect.

MICMAC666, You make an excellent point. Unfortunately, there are people who do not know the meaning of "self-respect" and how it relates to them and others.
