Crystal Harris Is a 'Keeper' Says Hef

Hugh Hefner says he stopped counting the number of girls he's been with a long time ago, but for now, he apparently only has one blonde to keep track of: Crystal Harris. The 23-year-old is the last girl standing out of his his most recent trio of girlfriends, after twins Kristina andKarissa Shannon vacated the Playboy Mansion a few months ago.

In a recent interview, Hugh gushed over his nearly 60 years younger girlfriend and went so far as to call her "a keeper," according to CNN. Hef will be 84 this year, and he's planning on celebrating a new year with a big bash in Vegas, with Harris by his side. "I will definitely not be celibate -- I will be celebrating," he said.

When asked about his relationship status, the Playboy mogul said: "I am in a very good relationship with a young lady named Crystal Harris." Maybe in his 84th year he'll give monogamy another shot. He was married for 8 years and allegedly faithful during that period, but before and after the marriage he was famously open about his multiple relationships.

"I was married for eight years and was faithful to that marriage throughout the entire eight years," Hef said. "I think if you make a commitment, you keep the commitment."

Hugh Hefner on Marrying Girlfriend: "It's Certainly Possible"

Hugh Hefner may be 60 years older than his 23-year-old girlfriend Crystal Harris, but that doesn't mean marriage for the two is totally out of the question.

Hef, who turns 84 on Friday, tells me there could be another wedding in his future…

"It's certainly possible," Hefner told me earlier today from the Playboy Mansion, where he was getting ready for his weekly game night. "I certainly care enough for her…I certainly love her enough. We'll see. All I want is for the relationship to be as happy as it is."

Hef's been with Harris for about a year and a half. The two first hooked up when the media mogul was also beginning a relationship with the Shannon twins, who have since moved out of the mansion and into the neighboring Playmate house.

The Girls Next Door poobah and Harris (along with a gaggle of Playmates, of course) are jetting to Las Vegas on Saturday night to celebrate his birthday with a 1980s-themed birthday bash at the Palms Casino Resort's Playboy Club and Moon nightclub.

"I'm having more fun than I did when I was 20," says Hefner.

He's also having fun watching longtime friend Pamela Anderson on Dancing With the Stars, but realizes she's a "long shot" to win. Believe it or not, Hefner has never been approached about competing for that discoball trophy. If they could have Buzz Aldrin on the show, why not the Playboy mogul?

"They haven't asked and I can tell you ahead of time I won't be there," he said, adding with a laugh about Aldrin, "He's a good friend, but he looked a lot cooler on the moon than he does on the dance floor."

That's not all the Hef I have for ya. Come back here tomorrow to find out what he has to say about Kendra, Jenny McCarthy and Kate Gosselin.

Kate Gosselin to Tony on 'Dancing With The Stars': 'A lot of people quit on me in life'

Yikes. Dancing With The Stars “shopping cart” Kate Gosselin reduced her partner Tony Dovolani first to quivering rage and then to quivering apology before their jive-in-every-sense dance on Monday night.

In the taped rehearsal segment before their performance, Kate was shown asking Tony for more detailed instructions, and after a while, Dovolani expressed his frustration to the camera by saying, “Nothing in dancing is natural to Kate.” Getting hot under the collar, he chafed, “I’ve never been questioned in my teaching,” and finally: “I quit.” He walked out, while Kate looked at her camera and said, over and over, “I don’t get it.”

Wait a minute: This was a Monday night, on TV, and Kate Gosselin was making a male partner feel frustration and rage at her constant hectoring? For a second there, I thought ABC had unearthed unseen footage from TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8.

After a commercial, more tape rolled and we saw Tony come back and apologize. Kate “forgave” him by saying, “A lot of people quit on me in life.”

Then they danced to the Elton John hit, “I’m Still Standing.”

I’m not going to recap the performance, or the rest of the show. Annie Barrett has her usual peerless analysis of the entire DWTS two-hour edition here.

But as a long-time Kate Gosselin observer, I have a few bullet points:

• No matter how nice she seemed sitting at the table on The View and in other post-Jon media appearances, when she’s under pressure, Kate just can’t help being herself. To some observers, that just means she’s human and honest; to others, it means she’s reason to flee a room.

• Random fact: Yesterday was Kate’s birthday (she’s 35). It was also Lady Gaga’s (24th). So much for astrology.

• Earlier today I discovered that Kate’s been blogging about her DWTS experience — yes, she’s tapping out entries for the network that seems to own her soul, TLC/Discovery. In her latest entry, she writes, “In my lifetime I have never awakened my creative expressive side,” and then continues that she’s “still in shock that, I, Kate Gosselin, am learning to dance… and then performing for 24 million live viewers.” She adds that she now has dreams about her partner Tony, “my dance instructor, partner, psychotherapist, caffeine provider and friend.”

She dreams; Tony, I’d wager, has nightmares.

I’m not a regular DWTS viewer, which means I’m part of the reason ABC is getting such big ratings for the new season by casting such disparate people as Kate Gosselin, Pam Anderson, and Buzz Aldrin.

So you tell me: Do these kinds of fights and fireworks occur all the time on DWTS? And tell me what you thought of the Kate Gosselin portion of the show. Annie Barrett’s full recap is now up and running.

Gary Dourdan - It Was All Just Loud Sex

Former "CSI" star Gary Dourdan has cleaned up his act and a legal mess after his girlfriend got arrested last month for domestic violence.

TMZ has learned the criminal case against Dourdan's girlfriend, Maria Asis del Alamo, was dismissed today. Turns out the whole thing was a big misunderstanding.

Seems Gary and Maria were having a good time in a Venice, CA home, when a nosy neighbor mistook passion for violence. The cops came and, despite Gary's protests, they arrested Maria after noticing a scratch on Gary's neck.

Prosecutors now realize it was the sound of love, so the case has gone bye-bye.

As for Gary, he's been sober for more than a year, has a beautiful GF, is in love, and knows how to show it. Not a bad turnaround.
