Pal: 'Heartbroken' Hef Thought Crystal Was the One

Moments after
Hugh Hefner sadly confirmed that his wedding to 25-year-old model Crystal Harris
won't be happening this Saturday -- she had a "change of heart," he said -- former girlfriends began
tweeting their support, including Kendra Wilkinson. "We r comin over w some jack n coke," she promised, though the 'Girl Next Door' was only joking because she was en route to Chicago at the time. (She later
deleted the "jack" tweet.)
Those close to the Playboy icon tell me he is coping, but truly heartbroken by Crystal's decision to leave him.
"He will die of a broken heart," a friend says. "He loves Crystal and wanted so much to finally be happily married to who he thought was the love of his life."

Over 300 people had been invited to the wedding, which would have been the third for the 85-year-old Hef. Now the strawberry wedding cake and pink gown will never be touched as the back yard wedding plans are scrapped.
"The breakup is a heartbreaker, but better now than after the marriage,"
Hugh tweeted last night. Hef also showed he has a sense of humor about this setback, saying "Since we're not getting married on Saturday, I've scheduled a movie: 'Runaway Bride.' Seems appropriate."
He also corrected a report that claimed he and Crystal had had a "nasty argument" and he even fueled speculation that the breakup was timed to promote his ex's single by retweeting a message from travel blogger Linz Loves: "Omg @CrystalHarris left @hughhefner the day her single came out on iTunes. Coincidence? I think not."
What's clear is that many of Hef's friends and ex-lovers had had their concerns about the young blond who seemingly stole his heart only last year.
"I don't really know her," former Hugh lover Molly Madison told me in February she's clearly concerned about her ex's decision to get married. "I'm just really protective and want to make sure he's making the right choices."
And now that it's clear he didn't, sources tell me Holly and Kendra, who is now happily married with a family, will do whatever they can to support the man who first supported them.

He's just an old d@#khead. Just hurry up and die Hef!

Hef needs to realize if he wants true love and someone to spend the rest of his life with, he needs a person at least in their 40s or 50s. Girls in their 20s will more likely use him for the money versus older women, but he never gives someone beyond their early 30s a chance.

I'm 50 and he's too old for me that is 35 years, hello? That is a big age difference even for a 50 year old. The skin is too shriveled at 85, 50 year olds look too good for him.
Silly OLD Geezer.

she and the rest of those good looking soon to be bad looking skanks are just too much..who do they think they are kidding...only themselves and as for Hef...what a poor pathetic delusional person he has been his entire life

Don't worry Hugh, you will find another squeeze I am sure.

. . . should've married Holly, anyway. Maybe it's not too late?

Hef - I bet your first wife thought she was 'the one', and your second wife too! Probably dozens in between your second wife and Holly thought they were 'the one' too. You should have married Holly if you wanted a young blonde woman. She really cared for you.
Reply
Maybe it's time for this old man to find someone his own age. These young girls do not love him and he is fool to think that they might.

Sorry, Hef does not 'like people his own age'
(he is an accepted public pedophile with money)
Ain't that the truth Sorry!
He should have treated Holly better. She really cared for him. His engagement was a slap in her face.

Wow- ya know, I have mixed thoughts about all this. One, yeah my guess would be she possibly was a gold-digger - OR - she woke up and smelled the coffee and realized she didn't want all the hype of being married to someone who 'does what he does' all these years - OR - got cold feet in fear of being left high and dry should something happen- whatever the case, life goes on, deal with it. JMHO

I'll bet he must have created quite a puddle in his diapers when he got the news. In lamens terms if the situation warranted "sh*t his pants".

Hello AOL proofreaders? ARE YOU THERE? Is anybody home? "MOLLY" Madison and then "HOLLY Madison...who are these morons you are employing there?

Please forgive the news bearers for their error
Yes it is Holly and not Molly,
but the news bearers were just eager to bring this piece of
gossip/news to us, and in their eagerness, they were excited
and not in the correct frame of mind...
Also, we do not care Holly, Molly, Polly or any other -olly
We simply do not care the names at this point..
Perv and gold digger or Perv versus gold digger
Just dish the dirt
Piece of puss is dime a dozen. Hef could be laid 20 times before the sun rises if his heart could stand it.

At some point just "getting laid" isn't as good as getting laid by the one you love. BIG DIFFERENCE
