Marston Hefner was taken into custody on suspicion of domestic violence against his Playmate of the Year girlfriend. Get the details.

If he had had his way, Hugh Hefner would have exchanged vows with Crystal Harris in the summer of 2011.

But the Playboy founder says he won’t be making that same mistake in the new year, telling People this week that he “dodged a bullet” when Harris dumped him days before their scheduled June wedding.

“I am clearly not meant to be married,” the 85-year old said. “Married life isn’t for me.”

Don’t cry for Hef, however. He’s far from lonely.

The bachelor refers to his latest girlfriends, Shera Berchard and Anna Berglund, as “special ladies” and told the magazine he’d be “on top of my game” in 2012. It’s unclear which of those women he’s nicknamed game.

Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris Engage in Literal Dog Fight

Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris are involved in a major doggy dilemma. A canine conundrum. A puppy problem for the ages… literally!

While this couple narrowly avoided a wedding in June – when the young blonde essentially stood her much elder fiance up at the altar – and while they have little contact with each other at this point, Hefner tells People Magazine there’s still one very cute point of contention between him and his ex.

Their puppy, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel.

“We both love the puppy,” Hefner said of the dog and the debate over who gets to keep him. “I told her if she wants to keep the ring and the Bentley, then maybe I can keep the puppy. I [hope] we will work it out.”

Of course, even if it doesn’t, we have a feeling the Playboy founder will be okay.

He’s moved on from Harris with Anna Sophia Berglund and Shera Bechard, two busty women we’re assuming he can put to good use in other, doggy-related ways.
