Now you know why they call them old wives’ tales.
No, that’s just his “I pissed myself again” look.
How’s he going to find another woman her age! 
By ringing a bell and saying “Next!”
I’m somewhat interested in jewelry, and back when the engagement was announced, one of the jewelry-nerd websites I follow noted that the diamond was a 3.5 carat VVS2 E color diamond, worth $60,000 at least. (He probably paid a considerable premium for it, since he bought it from a jeweler and not at auction - he might have shelled out $70-80k for it.)
Wonder if she gets to keep the ring? I bet there’ll be a lawsuit.
I’m having a psychic vision even as we speak. We will see her with that ring somewhere in a city in a desert. She will go into a shop run by several wheezing men and say
“I’ve had this engagement ring for a while, but I decided somebody else would probably enjoy it more than me so I shouldn’t be selfish. And getting that eviction notice just clinched it!”
An appraiser will say it’s worth between $45,000 and $60,000. She’ll tell a bald man named Rick she wants $90,000 “because $45,000 and $60,000 is $105,000, you’ll make $15,000”. He’ll offer her $20,000 and they’ll make a deal for $35,000. One called Chum will say how much he loved Hugh Hefner’s song “Hip to Be Square” to which a Big Hoss will say “That’s Huey Lewis” to which Chum will say “I thought he’s the pie-in-the-face guy with all the crippled kids”. Cutaway to an Old Man telling how “In my day if an old man wanted him a young piece of tail he didn’t get engaged, he just paid her $3 and a Hershey’s Bar and she was happy, he was happy”. Then there will be a poll on
What item in the Pawn Shop has caused the most deaths?
A. An 18th century blunderbuss
B. A Bowie Knife that once belonged to Miss Barbara Stanwyck
C. A Vial of Pure Heroin from the Jim Hendrix Estate
D. A Box of Flavor Ade Lime found at Jonestown
The answer will be B.
While we’re at it, we need a new term because “May-December” doesn’t cut it. I’ll go with “Mayan-Gregorian.”
Not necessarily, at least in my state. There is a rebuttable presumption that marital property should be divided 50/50, but marital property means property acquired during the marriage, or separate property that has been comingled with marital property. In the event of a divorce, I suspect that the bulk of his assets would be held to be his separate property assuming he didn’t comingle. She’d likely get a nice payday in a divorce, but not half of everything he’s got.
Thompson is married (and she’s been married over twenty years so it looks pretty stable). Ryan, Locklear, and Hunt are all currently single. I’d recommend Hunt - she’s apparently not seeing anyone and, as a bonus, she was a nurse before getting into show business so she’ll bring usual skills into the marriage.
Will no one think of the billionaires? 
From what I hear, comingling is his usual bedtime routine.

Naaaah. That’s the oldest, original rule.
'Course, it still works, so…
I think the real reason she split is she suddenly had a moment of clarity, and couldn’t see herself waking up next to the Crypt Keeper every moring.
Hef was suppose to marry a 25 year old? I remember 40 years ago when he was doing Barbi Benton, she initially told him “I’ve never dated anyone older than 24”. His reply was “Neither have I”.
As someone who once read parts of “The Playboy Philosophy” in the mid-60’s, I think he’s always been a parody of what he represented.
.
Fair point.
A[sub]f[/sub] = ( A[sub]m[/sub] / 2 + 7 ) - 4ln W
where:
A[sub]f[/sub] = acceptable age of female
A[sub]m[/sub] = age of male
W = net worth in millions
This provides a nice logarithmic decrease bonus in the acceptable age based on how much money you have. A 50-year old with no money may date a 32-year old, but a 50-year old with $10 million may date 23-year old.
Hef’s net worth is estimated at $43 million, so by the updated formula he could acceptably date 35-year old.
So, mathematics proves it: even with a more accurate formula, Hef is still a skeeve.
Lots of interesting stuff going on related to the breakup:
Crystal Harris had a new song dropping on iTunes the day they split. Hefner retweeted a comment by another poster, something along the lines of “Coincidence? I think not.”
Hefner also tweeted that since the wedding wasn’t going to take place, he had scheduled a movie - “Runaway Bride” for the Saturday Mansion Movie. “Seems appropriate,” he said.
The New York Post is reporting that Cristal Harris has been shopping around plans to leave Hefner at the altar in front of all their guests on their wedding day and asking $500,000 for an exclusive interview afterward. Her publicist’s response? “Not true, to my knowledge.” [italics mine] Cite
There have also been rumors of an affair with Dr. Phil’s son, Jordan McGraw.
And finally, there’s this cute video released earlier in the day of the breakup demonstrating The Crystal Harris Age Gap Cheat Sheet iPhone app, an app designed to assist young women in knowing what their much older boyfriend is talking about when he makes references to events that took place before they were born.
Ouch! Shopping around a “Jilted him AT the altar” deal? I can see where, maybe, such a deal could be made with one of the sleazier news outlets - but it wouldn’t be worth $500k. She’s crazy.
I wouldn’t shed any tears for the old codger. It’s pretty obvious this was a ploy for attention from the beginning. What would top the attention the engagement got? A last minute jilting! Hefner’s desperation to regrow interest in the Playboy brand is increasing pathetic.
Yeah, the article says that while there was definitely interest, she didn’t get offers anywhere near a half million.
My guess is that word got back to Hef, sparking the argument they allegedly had right before the breakup. Hefner is denying an argument but I doubt he would want to confirm he was being played like that.
