In a shocking turn of events, TMZ has learned Hugh Hefner is coping with his breakup with Crystal Harris by cozying up a to a new woman ... and she's a Playboy Playmate too! Didn't see that coming.

"According to our sources, Hef has a new main girl -- Miss January 2011 Anna Sophia Berglund (above left). According to our sources, Anna has now moved into Hef's room and the two have taken to calling each other "babe" around other people. We're told during a recent movie night at the Playboy Mansion, the two were cuddling and kissing during the entire movie.

One source put it bluntly -- "It's clear Hef has moved on to Anna."

Sources close to Crystal tell us that while Anna was never singled out, the constant presence of girls around wore on Crystal and played a role in her decision to call it off.

And who says Hef isn't maturing? Anna is a whole 24 days older than Crystal!"

The thought of sleeping with someone older than her grandfather was too much for Crystal to bear. Even with all that money and Hef on that continuous @#$%& IV.

"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion." (1987) -- Carl Sagan

This continued cycle of Hef hooking up with employees, dumping or getting dumped and just as quickly doing the same with another stopped being farcical awhile back and has moved onto post-mortem shark-jumping.

Strange way to market a publishing company, even one for naked women.

The ersatz sexcapades of a shriveled-up prune are not news worthy in my opinion.

I'll take them all starting with Barbie Benton -- but have to exclude that man-faced
creature he married for a lot of years. Great body - but too masculine a face for me
to deal with.

Barbi Benton was gorgeous. I'm not into blondes. That one is good looking, but no stunner!

Barbie Benton...mmmm.

Hef was just revving up for a climax to occur sometime next week.

I was a big Barbi Benton fan, too.

This girl is really cute, the clean cut girl-next-door. I have no doubts that if she put on her glamour makeup, she would be stunning.

I try not to be too judgmental from one picture.

And I'm sure the As if... principal applies here.
