Something Old, Something New...

Although to call Crystal Harris new is kind of a stretch:

Hugh Hefner And Crystal Harris Tie The Knot

Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris are married!

The Playboy honcho, 86, and model, 26, tied the knot on New Year's Eve at the Playboy Mansion in L.A.

Harris announced that she was engaged to Hef back in December 2010, but called off the wedding just a few days before the June 2011 ceremony. A year later, they reconciled.

You may recall, Crystal auctioned off her original engagement ring last October at NYC auction house Christie's for a whopping $90k! Good thing her new hubby gave her an even bigger engagement ring the second time around. Now she has a massive wedding band to add to it!

Let's hope this marriage lasts until 2014.

It's been two years now that we've been following the on, off, on off; oh stop already, romance between Crystal Harris, Playmate of the Month for December 2009, and founder and standard bearer of the Playboy empire, Hugh Hefner.  Gotta give to the old boy, whatever he's got (probably money), I want some, too!

On the other hand, Ann Althouse, 60ish legal blogger, and admitted feminist asks:

What does he see in her? 

Come on, Ann, you can't really be that dense, do you need someone to draw you a picture, when there are plenty of photographs available (NSFW links)?
