The third time was anything but a charm for Hugh Hefner, whose wedding to Crystal Harris has been called off. "The wedding is off," Hefner glumly told his Twitter followers Tuesday. "Crystal has had a change of heart." According to TMZ, the 25-year-old model left the Playboy Mansion over the weekend after having a fight with the publishing mogul, 60 years her senior.
Multiple sources told the site that Harris moved her things out of the mansion and that the wedding, set for Saturday June 18, was canceled. It would have been Hefner's third marriage.
Harris, who earlier in the day promoted a comedic video that revolves around her relationship, released a statement on her website to explain her decision.
"After much deep reflection and thought I have decided to end my engagement with Hef," she wrote. "I have the utmost respect for Hef and wish him the best going forward. I hope the media will give each of us the privacy we deserve during this time."
Hefner didn't hint at any domestic disruptions on Saturday when he tweeted to a fan in England the details of the wedding. "The wedding is next Saturday (June 18)," he wrote. "And airs on Lifetime on July 13." He was also a major presence at the Playboy Jazz Festival, where he was spotted on Saturday with Harris on the festival grounds.

Harris has not been silent on Twitter either, but has focused her words on promoting a new single, 'Club Queen.' On Monday -- that's after she left him, according to TMZ -- Hefner helped his fiancee promote her music career with another tweet to his 638,000 followers.
Hefner, 85, and Harris, 25, began dating in January 2009 and became engaged around Christmas. The blond bombshell was slated to wear a pink wedding gown when she walked down the aisle in the backyard of the Playboy Mansion and, according to the couple, the nuptials were to be a colorful affair not unlike a "garden party." About 300 people were invited.
One of Hefner's former girlfriends, Holly Madison, expressed concern early on in the engagement that the couple was moving too fast and that Harris could potentially hurt her ex-beau.
"I think it's possible Crystal could break Hef's heart," Madison said. "They could end up divorcing, and she could take half his money."
Hef was previously married to Mildred Williams and Kimberly Conrad.
Harris lampooned the 60-year age gap with Hefner in a Funny or Die video released just today. In it, she promotes the 'The Playboy App' for smartphones that will make you "knowledgeable about things older people are interested in, which is helpful when you're dating Hugh Hefner." She sent a link to the video to her 175,000 Twitter followers, even though she had already left Hefner.
Holly Madison was right as I always thought she was right and should have never apologize for what she said to the press. I always thought that Hef & Holly were going to get married. Good that Hef knows what Crystals feelings are now than if they were married. TeamHolly.
Puffin'! You finally woke up. Now, don't cancel the wedding. Call Holly and tell her you finally realized she was the one!!! Hopefully she'll take you back.
Holly knew Cyrstals motives because she shared the same ones, are you people that retarded!! Any woman that's been involved with him at these ages know what they get out of it. Ask even any rich young guy and they will tell you how many woman are after them for the money.
Currently at the age of 44, I called myself a 'dirty old man'. I think I will now rescind the thought after realizing all the Playmates he's dated or been married to, and the wide gap in age difference between him, his girlfriends & ex-wives at the time of his marriages to them. Whew!! I am soo relieved!! ..so nice to know I'm not a dirty old man anymore!!
you still are a dirty old man if you are after anyone under 40. He buy his chicks and everyone knows it. What most people don't know is Hef is actually gay and girls make him money...they try to take his money too-- he's been paying them since he started, it won't change, he's a good, gay, businessman
he is lucky she left. she has that big wide mouth. guys who have been around lots of women know that is a bad predictor of what is down below her waist. big wide mouth indicates she is big and wide below the waist too. he should count his blessings that he didn't get locked up long term. if you don't believe me conduct your own research, an old man told me years ago to try to find a small mouth woman. look at the big wide mouth on kim kardashian, that is why she can't keep a man.
Thirty years ago, when Hefner used to show up at movie premieres with two gorgeous babes on his tentacles, my editor at the Daily News said, "When he's in his 80s, he's going to look like a dirty old man."
He was already that 30 years ago, but not in a mean-spirited, just a libidinous way.
I'm sure Hef is "smarting" right now. Even if it's not real love for the two of them, it has to be a disappointment, and so close to the day. While I've never been a fan of the whole Playboy thing, we all have the right to be happy and loved! So, I hope he finds someone (maybe it's Holly) who really does care for him. You're never too old to love.

If she were a gold digger, then why didn't she marry him? That's where the "gold" is.
Hang in there Crystal, Charlie Sheen is still available!
