Lorraine Howard Column Celebrity of the week

Jan 11 2013 by Lorraine Howard, Irvine Herald

In a new section in my column, given my love of celebrities, I’ve come up with a new feature... Celeb of the Week.

And this week I’ve picked a real Playboy - Hugh Hefner.

What a man, what an empire, what a magazine.

What a blushing bridegroom?

Yes, this 86-year-old married Bunny Girl Crystal Harris, 26, on New Year’s Eve at the Playboy Mansion (where else?).

I know he had been married once before but I thought he was a confirmed batchelor.

This Octogenarian who was inspired by his first crush on Marilyn Monroe to go into the magazine industry, build a multi-million pound empire and has filled his mansion with Playmates, must be saluted for his devotion to women.

A very tasteful magazine, I don’t think it exploits these women,it features some of the most stunning girls in the world.

It’s true he has a passion, nay, weakness for blondes soit is no surprise he has married one.

Some say it is a marriage of convenience but I say it looks as though it is a marriage made in Playboy heaven.
