Playboy mogul and erstwhile bachelor
Hugh Hefner
is moving on after being jilted by ex-fiancé
Crystal Harris
five days before their wedding.
Hef, 85, isn't exactly in the throes of a major downer and crying in his porridge after Harris, 25, gave her ex-sugar daddy the shove - he's reportedly bagged himself another Playboy Playmate!
He's a fast worker, I'll give him that.
So who is this rebound girl? Well, this is where things get interesting.
Hef's new "main girl" is none other than Miss January 2011
Anna Sophia Berglund
. Ring any bells? Take a peek at his new lady love
.
Now that he's hooked up with Berglund, Hef's officially dating an older woman. Older than Harris, that is. She's a whole 24 days older than his ex, according to TMZ.
Sources
that Berglund has moved into Hef's room at the Playboy mansion in Bel Air, California. And they've even taken to calling each other "babe".
Oh, the silver-tongued devil. You know he says that to all his prized bunnies.
Another source claimed that during a recent movie night at the mansion, the pair was kissing and cuddling during the film.
"It's clear Hef has moved on to Anna," the source said.
And here's the clanger. Hef may well have dished the ultimate revenge. According to
, a Playboy insider says Berglund was Harris' best friend. Word is Berglund was also slated to be her maid of honour.
How deliciously awkward.
The source claims that the pair has been having "relations for some time" - doctors and nurses, hanky panky! - "including throughout his engagement to Crystal, albeit with her full knowledge".
Or as the snitch so eloquently put it: "Hef was boning Anna the whole time." Charming. Talk about charring the brain with a disturbing mental picture.
Of course, Harris last week cited Hef's extracurricular activities with other ladies as one of the reasons why she called off the nuptials.
In her first TV interview since the split, she told
Entertainment Tonight
: "I can honestly say I was not the only woman in Hef's life and I didn't feel comfortable in my heart knowing that and being able to get married to him. Marriage is between two people and that's not what our relationship was... I had a great time there and I wouldn't trade it for the world..."
"It makes me realise that money isn't everything... I disappointed everybody. I felt like I did."
Crystal who?
Back to Hef. Word is that Berglund isn't the only lady companion filling a nano-void in his love life.
The mag titan has another perfect pick-me-up following his shock love split - two more pretty blondes who can give him a shoulder to cry on.
According to reports, Hef has moved former girlfriends and Playmates
Karissa
and
Kristina
back into the Playboy mansion.
A year and a half after they packed their bags and left the passion palace, the 21-year-old twins are back, reports TMZ.
Karissa dumped her boyfriend,
Smallville
actor
Sam Jones
, in order to comfort Hefner in his hour of need, reports the website.
She tweeted on Wednesday, "@KarissaShannon1 and I finally just finished moving! Its been such a long day!"
As for Harris, well, she definitely won't be winning any popularity contests anytime soon - not with her fellow Playmates at least.
Bunnies don't always stick together, eh,
Holly Madison
.
Harris spent what was to be her wedding day in Las Vegas attending a pool party with former
Hills
star
Heidi Montag
. Which didn't go down well with Hef's ex, Madison.
"That's a new low!!"
of Harris poolside on Saturday.
Madison later sniped in another tweet: "That's disgusting and whoever booked her is tacky!"
And her acerbic tweets didn't go unnoticed.
"Hard times show your real friends..."
.
"No," Madison retorted. "They show HEF's real friends..."
Ooh, stick that in your handbag, missus!
Harris later explained to Radar Online why she bolted it to Vegas on her cancelled wedding day.
"It was too close to home in L.A.," she said. "I just want to relax and not think about the fact that this was my wedding day."
Neither does Hef. Although sources say he's "heartbroken", he's in a pragmatic mood.
"The entire Playboy brand has been built on his shoulders,"
. "The image of an old man sitting at home broken-hearted is bad for business. Hugh knows that what's best for the brand is for him to start dating again no matter how much pain he is in."
He also
, seemingly trashing reports that he's now hooked up with Miss January: "After all is said and done, staying single is probably the best. I think I just missed a bullet."
There's single, and there's Hef's definition of single.
Oh, the scandal!
Winehouse falls apart
How was your weekend? No doubt better than Wino's...
Beehived trouble
Amy Winehouse
's attempt at a comeback went down like a lead balloon in Belgrade, Serbia, over the weekend.
Giving what can only be described as a cringeworthy, train wreck of a performance, Winehouse took to the stage an hour late at a festival in the Serbian capital.
Winehouse, who recently wrapped up a short stint in rehab, staggered around the stage and stumbled through several songs, in front of the 20,000-strong crowd. She was eventually booed off.
Not surprisingly, a representative for Winehouse said her next two concert dates have been cancelled.
"Amy Winehouse has canceled appearances in Istanbul and Athens for the coming week," the Rehab singer's rep
.
"Despite feeling sure that she wanted to fulfill these commitments, she has agreed with management that she cannot perform to the best of her ability and will return home. She would like to apologise to fans expecting to see her at the shows but feels that this is the right thing to do."
Winehouse is slated to perform next at the BBK Festival in Bilboa, Spain on July 8th.
Watch Winehouse's disastrous performance below:
I wish Winehouse the best with her recovery, and hope she gets the help that she needs to get her life and her career back on track.
