When a Couple Breaks Up Before They Marry, Who Should Keep the Ring?

Emily Co — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 10:47:27 PDT

In the latest Hollywood breakup news, 85-year-old Hugh Hefner has been jilted at the altar by his 25-year-old bride, Crystal Harris. Both parties claim to coping well; Hefner has tweeted that he's "happy to be single," and Crystal took to partying in Vegas on the day of the canceled wedding. Hefner's former fiancée might have had something to celebrate - she apparently got to keep the $90,000 three-carat diamond ring that the Playboy mogul proposed to her with, and a Bentley that he had given her.

There are so many things involved in the decision to give back the ring, such as who broke it off and traditional etiquette rules. If you're going by the legal system, you'll have to factor in where you live. In conditional gift states, which include New York and Michigan, the ring needs to be returned if there is no marriage. In an implied conditional state like California, it depends on who breaks off the engagement, and in an unconditional gift state like Montana, the ring does not have to be returned.

What's your take on this - if a couple doesn't end up getting married, who gets to keep the engagement bling?

Hugh Hefner's Playmate Love Interests

Tara Block — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 04:00:16 PDT

Yesterday, just days before what would have been his third wedding, 85-year-old Hugh Hefner tweeted that his 60-years-younger fiancée, Crystal Harris, called off the big day because she had "a change of heart." You gotta feel a little bad for Hef, being practically left at the alter, but I'm pretty sure he'll bounce back. After all, Crystal isn't the first young Playboy Playmate Hef has been romantically linked to, and I'm sure she won't be the last. Since his divorce from first wife, Mildred Williams, in 1959, the magazine mogul has been with many well-endowed lady friends, sometimes two or more at a time! See some of the Playmates Hef has been paired up with over the past five decades.

Have You Said No to Being a Bridesmaid?

Colleen Barrett — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 12:30:04 PST

The dress is picked, the location is chosen, and the groom is still a-livin'. All good signs for the marriage of 84-year-old Playboy Hugh Hefner and his unlikely blushing bride, 24-year-old Playmate Crystal Harris.

The Daily Mail interviewed the couple's wedding planner, Kellie Olisky, and I was surprised by some of the elegant choices they made for their June wedding at the Playboy mansion. And then talk turned to bridesmaids and the dresses, and Olisky said it. She really said it.

"One sister is in Idaho. She might need a sleeve."

Unfortunately, or fortunately, most of us aren't privy to these behind-the-scenes conversations because, oh, we don't have them in front of reporters. But, sister Harris, in Idaho, I want you to know it's OK to say no. Here are tips on how to turn down being a bridesmaid gracefully, but sometimes you just need to say it in any shape, at any volume.

Have you turned down a request - gracefully, passive-aggressively, or aggressive-aggressively?

Mad Men: The Playboy Bunny in the '60s

TresSugar — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 11:40:00 PDT

Everybody has secrets - that pretty much sums up last night's episode of Mad Men. The least of Lane Pryce's secrets is that he's a key holder at New York's Playboy Club. Yet that key is likely something he'd brag about in 1965 rather than hold tight to the vest of his three-piece suit.

Hugh Hefner opened the first Playboy Club in 1960 in Chicago to bring the Playboy magazine experience to life. He quickly grew the Playboy empire by opening clubs around the world. They were elegant, high-profile spots and symbols of status (only 21 percent of key holders ever went to clubs because membership was enough), but it was also a bit of a knockoff of Chicago's Gaslight Club, which Playboy ran a feature on in 1959.

Was there a stigma to being a Playboy Bunny? Find out below.

Hugh Hefner Documentary - Would You Watch It?

TresSugar — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 03:00:00 PDT

What's the first thing that pops into your mind when you hear the name Hugh Hefner? Sex, I'm sure. A new documentary wants to add "civil rights activist" to the list of things the Playboy icon is known for. Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist and Rebel presents Hugh as a champion of gay rights, women's liberation, and racial integration.

Here's Hugh describing his legacy:

"One of the things I find really curious is when people say I've lived an amoral life. From my perspective, it's quite the contrary. I feel I've lived a very moral life. I've been on the side of angels from the beginning.”

One such angelic anecdote: when two of his Playboy nightclubs in the South were racially segregated, Hugh bought them back and integrated them. As for women, the man who tells his current twin girlfriends apart by a birthmark says: "I was a feminist before there was such a thing as feminism." Hugh's Playboy Foundation has funded legal battles for birth control and abortion access. Of course one could argue that Hugh has this influential role only because he made a fortune objectifying women for the entertainment of men.

Would you be interested in learning more about Hugh's life as a so-called activist?

Say What? Hugh Hefner Keeps His Eye on the Mark

TresSugar — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 06:00:00 PDT

"I have one little trick, one has a little mark. Other than that, I don’t know."

- Hugh Hefner on how he can tell his twin girlfriends Kristina and Karissa apart. If they had the pleasure of having multiple boyfriends, it would be easy for them to tell them apart from Hugh. He'd be the old dude in the satin robe who keeps getting their names mixed up while struggling to put on his spectacles to look for "the mark."

PopSugar — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:30:48 PDT

Michael Douglas was the man of the evening last night as he received an AFI Lifetime Achievement Award in LA. He hit the red carpet on the arm of his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, while his Ghosts of Girlfriends Past costar Matthew McConaughey brought along Camila Alves. Kiefer Sutherland and Tobey Maguire took the stage to pay tribute to their pal Michael, and Catherine even brought out her Chicago skills for a song-and-dance number in her husband's honor. Michael's been a Hollywood heavyweight for decades, but we'll see more of him on the big screen in the Wall Street sequel and, according to Catherine, a project they're looking to star in together.
