Hugh Hefner on New Love, Hank Baskett and More!

Don't cry for Hugh Hefner.

Granted, the Playboy founder has ended his relationships with Holly Madison, Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt. But he told E! Online that a new set of girlfriends moved in to his mansion about two weeks after he became a single man.

In an interview with the entertainment network, Hefner was joined by those new gal pals - Karissa and Kristina Shannon - as well by the third blonde recently added to his busty brood: Crystal Harris.

Here are a few naughty nuggets from the conversation:

Hef's relationship philosophy: "The best solution to lost love is new love."

Crystal Harris, comparing herself to The Shannon Twins: "I'm much more reserved than the twins. They are much more outgoing, and I'm the type of person who likes to stay close to home. Hef has the best of both worlds with us."

Hef on Kendra's fiance, Hank Baskett:  "[He's a] cool guy."

Hef on not marry Holly, due to his previously failed marriages: "Those are not the happiest times of my life and I just don't want to screw up another. [Holly]... will make a good wife to Criss [Angel] or whoever she winds up with."

Hef on adding a new sex buddy: We don't have anyone in particular, but it's always possible. There was one point when I had seven girlfriends."

Heck, when your sex mates look like this, why wouldn't you add as many as possible?!?
