Hugh Hefner is getting married again - to the same runaway bride who left him five days before the altar the last time.

TMZ.com reports that Hef, 86, is engaged for the second time to Crystal Harris, 26, and the pair will wed at the Playboy Mansion in California on New Year's Eve.

What's a 60-year age difference when it's true love?

TMZ sources say the couple has worked out the problems that nixed their first attempt at a wedding and they couldn't be happier.

But that 60-year age difference? That could mean the future Mrs. Tattle isn't even born yet.

* In other wedding news, Philadelphia dentist Ashley Hebert (a/k/a "The Bachelorette") married her final rose, J.P. Rosenbaum, in Pasadena, Calif.

Show host Chris Harrison officiated.

USA Today says guests included alums from the reality TV series franchise, including Emily Maynard, Trista and Ryan Sutter and Jason and Molly Mesnick.

The made-for-TV wedding will air on ABC on Dec. 16.

Interestingly, the only two weddings to result from the franchise have come from "The Bachelorette." Women, it seems, go on the show to get a husband while men go on to get 25 women in a hot tub.

* The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has chosen Francesca Eastwood as Miss Golden Globe 2013.

She is the 19-year-old daughter of Clint Eastwood.

Miss Golden Globe is traditionally the child of a celebrity who is invited to "help" (a/k/a look pretty) during the ceremony. Previous honorees include Rumer Willis, Laura Dern, Melanie Griffith and Joely Fisher.

Glen Campbell may be wrapping up a goodbye tour, but he may not be quite ready to say goodbye.

The 76-year-old Rhinestone Cowboy is considering scheduling more shows next year after playing more than 120 dates in 2012.

Campbell has Alzheimer's disease and has begun to lose his memory. He put out his final studio album, "Ghost on the Canvas," in 2011 and embarked on the tour with family members and close friends serving in his band and staffing the tour.

Katy Perry may be Billboard's Woman of the Year for 2012, but the pop star thought her year was 2011.

"I felt like my year was last year . . . I thought my moment had passed," Perry said in an interview with Jon Stewart at Billboard's Women in Music event Friday in New York City.

"I don't really like to call myself a role model for my fans, but I hope I'm an inspiration, especially for young women," she said when she accepted the honor.

Perry also thanked her mom at the event, which honored women who work in the music industry.

Newcomer Carly Rae Jepsen ("Call Me Maybe") also thanked her mom - and stepmom - when accepting the rising star honor.

British singer Cher Lloyd performed Perry's "E.T." at the luncheon, which also featured a performance by country singer Hunter Hayes.

* Hours after Kim Kardashian gushed about how awesome she thought Bahrain was, riot police teargassed more than 50 hard-line Islamic protesters denouncing her presence in the Gulf kingdom.

The clashes took place just before Kardashian opened the Bahrain branch of a Millions of Milkshakes shop.

* On the other side of the world, in the Dominican Republic, magician Wayne Houchin was on a local TV show when the host lit Houchin's head on fire with a flammable cologne.

It was not part of the act.

Houchin said he is receiving treatment for burns that doctors are cautiously optimistic will not leave scars. A statement posted Sunday on his Facebook page says he is "resting, healing & working through the legal process" in the Caribbean nation, where he had been performing with a group of fellow magicians.

During a Nov. 26 appearance on the Dominican Republic's "Closer To The Stars" TV program, guest host Franklin Barazarte abruptly doused Houchin's head with "Agua de Florida," a flammable cologne commonly used in Santeria rituals. A video of the incident shows Houchin's head bursting into flames as Barazarte runs his hands over the magician's flaming hair.

It is unclear why Barazarte doused Houchin's head in the liquid or what ignited it.

Houchin considers Barazarte's actions a criminal attack.

But the bar has been raised, David Blaine. The bar has been raised.
