Hugh Hefner is taken again- by somebody familiar!

A year after Playboy bunny Crystal Harris made headlines for ditching Hef five days before their wedding day, the pair have confirmed that they are indeed back together.

Hefner, 86, and Harris, 26, were engaged in December 2010 and Hef tweeted the news when Crystal dramatically called the wedding off.  As history repeats itself, so do announcements via twitter feeds: Hef announced the couple’s reconciliation via twitter, as well.

Said Hef:

“Getting back together with Crystal Harris shouldn’t be a big surprise, since I have a history of remaining close to former girlfriends.”

And Crystal confirmed the news later:

“Yes @hughhefner and I are back together. Yes I am his #1 girl again. Yes we are happy. Hope that clears up any confusion! xo”

Weird. Crystal said some not-so-nice things about Hugh post-wedding drama (like that he wasn’t exactly a tiger in bed), so this is a bit of a surprise.  But hey, Hef’s life is full of surprises, no?

Hef’s runaway bride, Crystal Harris has sold her engagement ring at an auction at Christie’s New York for $38,000, half of its original purchase price!

Hugh Hefner, 85, bought the 3.39 carat diamond ring for $90,000 and proposed to Crystal on Christmas Eve 2010. Whether it was a case of cold feet or conscience got the better of her, the former Playmate called it quits just five days before their June 18^th nuptials.

It is reported that Crystal, 25, had the ring valued within weeks after she announced the news and when the jewelry shop owner offered his condolences, she replied: “Are you kidding?! It was all for publicity!”

Hef recently disclosed on Twitter the true nature of this one-time Playboy cover girl stating, “Crystal gave me Charlie [her dog] and I let her keep the engagement ring.”

I guess she has her priorities sorted out! Someone hand this girl a shovel, coz there’s a gold digger in town!

Hugh Hefner’s former wife-to-be Crystal Harris is not the only one who kissed and told about sex-life with Hef.

Kendra Wilkinson did the same thing in her tell-all book Sliding Into Home. Kendra claims her comments about her encounters with the Playboy mogul were much less hurtful than Crystal’s however.

“Her situation is a lot more harsh,” Wilkinson, 26, told PEOPLE at Monday’s NBC Universal Press Tour All-Star party in L.A. “She was about to get married to him. I would have never agreed to get married to him.”

Kendra, who also gave details on her sex-life with Hugh, 85, says she would never say anything to intentionally hurt him the way Harris, 24, did.

“We both knew our place,” Wilkinson says of her and Hefner. “He knew that we were friends. I knew that we were friends. But to [plan to] get married and then be a backstabber to someone like that – to take it to that level and then go and backstab, that’s, like, cruel, you know?”

Being someone who has once experienced sheltered life in the Playboy Mansion, Wilkinson says she initially related to Harris’s venting. But that all changed once the runaway bride turned on Hefner.

“At first I was really proud,” Wilkinson says. “I was like, ‘Wow, she’s being classy about things.’ But then lately, she’s just like totally running her mouth and it’s hard.”

It seems like Kendra did the same thing as Crystal, just maybe not as harsh. She is in no place to sit in judgement of Harris.

Playmates are coming to Hugh Hefner’s love making defense after his ex-fiancée Crystal Harris said on Howard Stern’s radio show that sex with the 85-year-old Hefner lasted “like two seconds.”

“I’ve heard girls say they have a lot of fun in there,” says Hiromi Oshima, a Playmate who spoke to PEOPLE during Playboy TV’s “TV for 2” party Tuesday night at the Playboy Mansion.

“Hef is a lover,” says Dani Mathers, who works at Playboy TV. “I think they definitely had sex more than that one time and it wasn’t two minutes. Hef definitely has a sex life.”

Regardless of who’s telling the truth, everyone agrees that Hefner is generous to those he loves.

“I think the whole thing with Crystal is really sad, and Hef is such an amazing man. He provides so much for everyone that’s around him and all of the Playmates,” says Shanna McLaughlin, who appeared in the magazine in July 2010. “I think some things should be kept private between two people, especially in a break-up scenario.”

I don’t know who’s telling the truth and I really am glad I will never find out. Keep it behind closed doors please!

Just minutes ago, Hugh Hefner‘s ex-fiancée, Crystal Harris, tweeted a link to her personal website, which sends the public message stating:

After much deep reflection and thought I have decided to end my engagement with Hef. I have the utmost respect for Hef and wish him the best going forward. I hope the media will give each of us the privacy we deserve during this time.

I wonder what her “deep reflection” was all about?

So Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris‘ engagement and wedding have been called off. In case you didn’t know, Life & Style magazine reported back in March that Crystal, while in a relationship with Hugh, had been dating Jordan McGraw, son of Phil McGraw aka Dr. Phil.

As Life & Style first reported in March, Crystal had been dating her songwriting partner and the son of Dr. Phil behind fiancé Hef’s back. Life & Style first spotted the 24-year-old lovebirds cozying up at the Chateau Marmont in LA on March 14. While Crystal attempted to keep their romance low-profile, Jordan didn’t care to hide his affections and was kissing her shoulder and trying to hold her hand – which was still adorned with her 6-carat engagement ring. The pair met through the Organica Music Group, where Jordan worked with Crystal as a songwriter.

Crystal and Hef, who got engaged in December, were only days away from their June 18 wedding date. “Crystal informed me of the news this morning and that the decision to call off the wedding was mutual,” Crystal’s manager, Michael Blakey, President of Organica Music Group, tells Life & Style. “The split was amicable and I’m happy to say that Crystal and Hef will remain close friends.”

How J-U-I-C-Y!

And ironic that the son-of-a-psychologist-slash-family-counseling-TV-host would be a part of this Hollywood scandal relationship breakup!

What would Dr. Phil have to say?

And do you think this “engagement” was real in the first place? Or staged?

Happy birthday, Crystal Harris! Today (April 29) marks a special day for the Playboy playmate.

And who is most excited about the birthday celebration? Crystal’s fiancé, Hugh Hefner, of course!

Earlier this morning, Hugh (@HughHefner) tweeted, “Happy birthday, Crystal! I love you very much.”

While most ladies get flowers, clothes, jewelry, or mini vacations for their birthday, Crystal received something else: a really nice car.

In response to a Twitter follower, Hugh tweeted, “@MimiFlowerchild I got Crystal a Bentley Continental GT for her birthday, Mimi.”

WOWZERS! In case you didn’t know, base price for a 2011 Bentley Continental GT stars around $205,000. Not too shabby.
