According to a report, Hefner and Harris quarreled over the past weekend, prompting her to move out of the Playboy Mansion and officially call off the wedding. Reportedly, Crystal wanted more than a $200 dollar a week allowance and felt she couldn't be married to Hef and have a successful music career at the same time.  This would
have been Hefner's third wedding.

Later, when he went out for a cigarette, Bean was allegedly jumped by a man and stabbed in the arm with a piece of glass.

Justin Timberlake, speaking in a Playboy magazine interview, is quoted as saying, "Some people are just better high" ...and he numbers himself among them. Timberlake says that the only thing that pot does for him is to get him to stop thinking saying, "Sometimes I have a brain that needs to be turned off."  Also talking about why he dates stars, besides the reason that he just can, is that you gravitate toward people who understand your scenario...At the end of the day you just want someone who gets you, who can be a friend."

Twenty-two year old heiress, Petra Ecclestone, has bought Tori Spelling's childhood home, dubbed "The Manor."  Ecclestone reportedly plunked down $85 million dollars for the 57,000 square foot home that contains 123 rooms and is officially the largest home in Los Angeles.  Ecclestone is the daughter of British billionaire and Formula One tycoon, Bernie Ecclestone and a former Croatian model.

Montel Williams has taken a job as a consultant with a an upscale marijuana dispensary in Sacramento, CA  in an effort to revolutionize the pot industry.

The story of Drew Peterson, charged with the death of his third wife after the mysterious disappearance of his fourth wife, is coming to television. Rob Lowe will play the womanizing Chicago-area police officer with "The Big Bang Theory" star Kaley Cuoco as Peterson's fourth wife, 23-year-old Stacy. In May 2010, Stacy disappeared and following up on tips from a neighbor, authorities arrested Peterson and indicted him for the murder of his previous wife, Kathleen. Her 2004 death had been initially ruled an accident, but upon exhumation and second forensic examination, that was changed to homicide. Peterson is currently in prison awaiting trial.  The movie will explore the two murders.
