Is Hugh Hefner ready to be a one-woman man?

The Playboy mogul exclusively tells me that two of his three girlfriends, 20-year-old twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon, are moving out of the legendary Mansion and into the neighboring Playmate House.

What happened?

Hef explains that while his relationship with girlfriend Crystal Harris has been getting "more serious," the twins have expressed a lot of interest in doing more Playmate-related promotional work for the company...

"They've been hanging out with a lot of the other Playmates, and they see these girls traveling across the country to do promotion," he said. "They would like to be doing that, too."

In fact, Hefner, 83, said he was the one who initially suggested the move, which will take place within the next couple of weeks. "When they thought about it, they thought it was a good idea," he said, adding, "They will now be friends, but they won't be defined as the girlfriends."

As serious as things may be with 23-year-old Crystal, Hef says we shouldn't start listening for wedding bells. "I haven't had a lot of luck with marriage," he said. "I don't have a good track record, and I don't want to screw this one up."

The twins' departure doesn't mean the end of The Girls Next Door.

Hef says if his hit E! reality series gets picked up for another season, we'll see not only some of the twins work with the Playmates but also, of course, how his "relationships are changing romantically and how that relates to Crystal."
