Just five days before he was to marry for the third time, the 85-year-old tweeted that his 25-year-old fiancee "had a change of heart" and the wedding was off.
According to TMZ,(quote) “Crystal and Hefner had a nasty argument last weekend on the phone. When the dust settled, Crystal decided to pull the plug on the wedding, and moved her stuff out." Mansion sources say she was fed up with her "couple hundred dollar" weekly allowance, and wants to focus on launching her music career.
Listen Now: Here's a clip of her new song "Club Queen" released yesterday.
According to their source, “Crystal wanted to ditch Hef at the altar. Her plan was to walk up the aisle and say she couldn't go through with it. The wedding was to be taped for a reality special, and her refusal to marry him would be a sensation. She was looking for a tie-in deal of around $500,000 for the exclusive ‘I ditched Hef at the altar’ interview."
"While there was interest," the source adds,"Crystal didn't get an offer anywhere near a half a million.”
By the way ... the cancellation comes at a bad time for Playboy. Their July issue hits newsstands Friday and guess who’s on the cover? Yup, Crystal Harris. And the headline reads “America's Princess: Introducing Mrs. Crystal Hefner"

Then ... "Last summer, I brought Joseph over to the house. Until then, he hadn't been around very much. After that, people in the house started whispering about how much they looked like each other." Maria was among those who noticed the resemblance.

I dropped to my knees and I was crying, saying that yes he was and I was so sorry." Mildred tells the tab when Maria's worst fears were confirmed she didn't freak out, or start throwing things, or fire her. Instead, she suppsedly cried with her.
