Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris plan ‘intimate’ wedding w/ 300 guests June 18

Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris plan ‘intimate’ wedding w/ 300 guests June 18

America’s favorite Octogenarian titty mogul and his 60 years younger fiance have set a date for their upcoming wedding. Hugh Hefner’s rep tells US Weekly that it will be an “intimate” affair attended by less than 300 guests and will take place at the Playboy mansion on June 18. That will hopefully be enough time to de-louse the mansion after that big Legionnaire’s outbreak earlier this month.

US also reports that Hef’s bride, Crystal Harris, will wear a dress by designer Romona Keveza. I’m not familiar with that designer, so I googled the dresses and they’re very traditional, classic and romantic. For all you can say about Harris, she will probably look gorgeous on her wedding day to a guy old enough to be her great grandfather.

Harris was recently profiled in a piece in The New Yorker about her upcoming wedding. She revealed that she’s going for a “romantic” theme, with a color palette at the reception that her wedding planner describes as “silver and white, and maybe a blush underlay.”

As for what attracts him to Crystal Harris and other very young women, Hef recently said that “you do give up something in the process,” but “There is something wonderful in the student-teacher relationship — the rediscovery, the chance to have a relationship with a younger woman. It permits you to see the things you love with a fresh eye, makes them exciting again.” I think we know Crystal’s motivation. She’ll put in about 10-15 years tops and then she’ll become a wealthy woman before she’s 40. Hef surely has a prenup but he’ll provide well for her. Ms. Harris has her career and life plan all mapped out for her, she just has to keep being a pleasant and willing companion.



After I wrote all that I found this video (below and here) of Crystal and Hef on Piers Morgan discussing their wedding plans. She seems really stoked about it. Hugh said his best man will be his brother and that his two youngest sons will serve as groomsmen. (His sons Marston, 20, and Cooper, 19, are much closer in age to Crystal of course.) Crystal joked that Hugh got married in the front yard already so she asked “if we could do it in the back yard.” They’re going to have the ceremony “in front of the waterfall, very romantic” according to Hef.

When asked what she sees in Hef, Crystal Harris said “I love Hef, we have so much fun together. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in my whole life.” Probably the most generous too.

Uncensored Playboy coming to iPad: Hefner

Playboy founder Hugh Hefner has confirmed that the magazine will soon be available on iPad.

Hefner, 84, took to his Twitter page to confirm that the entire uncensored Playboy catalogue will be available from March.

"Big news! Playboy-both old and new-will be available on iPad beginning in March," Fox News quoted Hefner as tweeting on his official feed.

"The iPad version of Playboy will include the whole magazine from the first issue to the latest. Playboy on iPad will be uncensored," he wrote.

The announcement comes despite Apple's notorious censorship policy.

But Hefner's statement has been clarified by Playboy spokesman Theresa Hennessey, who said that the comely centrefolds and sensual snaps from the magazine won't be available in an iPad app after all.

"We are releasing a web-based subscription service with Bondi Digital Publishing that will give users access to every issue of Playboy both past and present," she said.

"The service will be iPad-compatible and will utilize iPad functions.

"Playboy's engineers also have plans to release a non-nude version of a Playboy-branded iPad app in the coming months that adheres to all of Apple's policies and guidelines," she added.

Digital magazine publisher Bondi Digital, which admitted that it was powering the eye-popping iPad app, will be producing the men's magazine.

"I can confirm that we are in development with them," Bondi co-founder David Anthony said.

"You'll be able to access Playboy via the browser in your tablet and use the same password to access it on your computer," he stated.

Those seeking Playboy's titillating photos will access Bondi's custom website, not the app, which will, of course, be censored.

Hefner takes Playboy private

NEW YORK: Playboy tycoon Hugh Hefner has struck a deal to return Playboy Enterprises to private ownership, according to a statement Monday.

Not usually one to shy away from the public sphere, slumping sales and poor finances appear to have convinced Hefner to end his company's flirtation with the stock market.

The octogenarian publisher agreed to pay $6.15 for each share owned by partners, a more than 18 percent premium over Friday's closing price.

"With the completion of this transaction, Playboy will come full circle, returning to its roots as a private company," Hefner said in a statement.

"The brand resonates today as clearly as at any time in its 57-year history. I believe this agreement will give us the resources and flexibility to return Playboy to its unique position and to further expand our business around the world."

Pummeled by the Internet, Playboy is now expected to focus on its "brand management" business, including licensing products.
