Hefner’s revenge: I’m altering Crystal’s cover

Hugh Hefner is finally taking action in his unexpected break-up with Crystal Harris – defacing her Playboy cover with a giant red sticker that reads, “Runaway Bride.”

Before Crystal called off the wedding … just days before their wedding … Hefner had already agreed to give her the July cover with the headline, “Mrs. Crystal Hefner.”

Box loads of magazines have already been shipped without the sticker – but Hefner insists the big, red mark WILL appear on newsstands.
