This just in: Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner, 85, and his 25-year old fiancee Crystal Harris have called off their Saturday wedding. E! Online reports: "The breakup that no one saw coming was reportedly sparked when the couple had what must have been a rather explosive argument at the Playboy Mansion—a detail that would at least seem to be blown way out of proportion if the split was truly as amicable as Harris' rep says. In any case, the fight allegedly took place over the phone—what caused it remains unknown—and resulted in the 25-year-old Harris abruptly packing up and moving out of the house. A source close to the former bride-to-be told E! News she is currently staying with a friend." [E! Online]
