Crystal Harris Drops Debut Single and Hugh Hefner on Same Day

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted Jun 15th 2011 10:00AM

After Tuesday's somber tweet from Hugh Hefner, confirming his third marriage proposal would not end in marriage -- "The wedding is off. Crystal has had a change of heart" -- we haven't been able to let go of a more than unsettling coincidence. Ex-fiancée, Crystal Harris was promoting her debut single just hours before formally commenting that the wedding was off.

Apparently the opportune timing was not lost on Hefner either. After taking to Twitter to let his followers know that Harris' new single, 'Club Queen,' had just become available on iTunes, he retweeted a fan's suspicions of Harris' fame-seeking, use him then lose him intentions.

"Omg @CrystalHarris left @hughhefner the day her single came out on iTunes. Coincidence? I think not," Hefner retweeted from @LinzLuvs.

Although the dubious timing is not lost on the 85-year-old, he isn't taking the break-up laying down. In fact, according to his recently verbose Twitter account, he's taking the breakup sitting straight up -- playing dominoes, watching movies and visiting with his ex-wife, Kim Conrad, and ex-girlfriend, Bridget Marquardt.

So did the original playboy get played? Not only was Harris' new single released the same day that she called off her backyard Playboy Mansion wedding, the announcement of the nixed nuptials came the same day the bombshell also released a Funny or Die video -- spoofing the 60 year age difference between herself and the fiancé she nearly left at the altar.

"My fiance is 60 years older than me and I don't understand his references," Harris exclaims in the video spoof in which she hocks 'The Playboy App' which helps to bridge the gap for May December couples.

But just because Saturday's flower and table linen orders have been cancelled, doesn't mean the reminder of Hefner's almost bride won't be a glaring one. Harris covers Playboy's July issue, on stands Friday, with the headline, 'America's Princess: Introducing Mrs. Crystal Hefner,' according to the New York Post -- quite a title for a girl who never made it (intentionally or unintentionally) down the aisle.

Although Hefner doesn't seem to be losing sleep over his runaway bride -- let's be honest, he's probably already holding auditions for 'girlfriend' spots -- we're sure the snub still stings. But we have a feeling Harris' forthcoming album won't be seeing the light of day after this sordid (but business smart) stunt.

I'm sure people are going to have a difficult time deciding which sucks harder: the brainless twit or the brainless twit's "music".

She really f'd up.

By Polar Patrol

Just another dumb song about clubbing, dancing and booze set to the sounds of autotune. Booooooring.

Today's music blows.

I now wonder what type of girl this day in age would still like to be a Playboy Playmate, live in the mansion and live off of a couple of hundred dollars a week allowance. Is Playboy still relevant? Nobody gets famous from PB anymore. I can’t remember the last time I opened up a PB mag, or even bought one.

It was in the very early 70s (or late 60s) that the PLAYBOY image began losing relevancy when the silver key was replaced by a plastic card. It's been downhill ever since. Hefner is just an old fool in Viagra.

It's creepy when a woman marries her daddy and her grandpa at the same time

Good for her! She probably realized it wasn't worth the money to change his diapers and watch him die.

By KR

Now that she's gotten the publicity she wanted she can release her much anticipated single, 'Sl uts Just Heal Faster'.

By Lori

The song sounds like the other insipid songs from the different
housewives who have tried,Luanne,Simon,Those Atlanta women.It's
really sad.

Best wishes to Hef, I'm sure many a man would be happy to date a woman twice the age of his last girlfreind.

By mbrul

"tightfisted"? what, didn't he spend enough on you?

By LMEDELLIN

Let's be honest, she has no musical talent because is she did she would have been known sooner for her musical ability. She will bomb...

By Bonbon

I thinks it is funny, he is an 86 year old man, he acts ridiculous!

By aliciav

She played him like a fiddle!! He should have stuck with Holly...

By NurseRiverBoat

Old Hef got played and I think it's hilarious and the gold-digger will be on the latest cover of Playboy, which might actually generate interest in that old rag.

Any woman who "does" Hef sure lowers their standards...I mean, look at the poor old geezer...he's as attractive as a dying possum in the back yard.

Money can't buy you love - - - perhaps old Hef will learn by now...he's OLD and I mean ugly old!!!!

Sorry Hef....please recover and try to act dignified for your social caliber.

By Kate

Holly was right to be worried about Hef!! Crystal was not the right girl for him and Holly knew it!!

By MotorCityMama

I don't know who's worse, the anorexic blonde with fake hair, fake teeth, and fake t its, or Hef who's gross as Hel l and hasn't gotten it up in decades.

By mntnmsc406

Should have went for a more mature woman than a tight young body they tend to be more reliable and not run so fast he could probably catch up with one of them........sorry Hef

By psc

Crystal will be a Crystal who???, Hef will live for generations. Shame on Crystal, but like the song goes.."some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers." I hope Holly goes to visit him soon. He is a great man and never hurt anybody, always made their lives better. He deserves respect at this time in his life. Crystal, I say to you, thank you, for not occupying another day of his life. Go get your 15 minutes of fame, that is all it's going to be.
