Hugh Hefner, 82, likes ‘em young, blonde … and bad.

Turns out Hef’s 19-year-old handpicked twin successors to the throne of Holly, Bridget and Kendra come with a checkered past. Karissa (left) and Kristina Shannon (right) — who have recently moved into the Playboy Mansion — were both busted by St. Petersburg, Fla. police for felony aggravated battery back in January. They both received probation and were ordered to pay restitution to the two victims.

Karissa also has a misdemeanor battery charge on her record from 2007. Atta girl!

Playboy had no comment.

UPDATE 6:40 PM PT: We just talked to a relative of one of the victims and here’s what they tell us went down. The twins went out after work with one of their Wing House co-workers, Erica Civello, to a house party. Kristina allegedly started arguing with Erica, and Karissa came up behind her and hit Erica over the head with a bottle of beer and they both “jumped her.” Erica suffered a concussion.

The Girls Next Door household has been turned upside down lately, with Hugh Hefner confirming to Usmagazine.com last week that he and Holly Madison’s relationship is “in transition.”

“There are lot of changes going on … people are going through changes,” Kendra Wilkinson said at Saturday’s Karu&Y Relaunch party in Miami. “There’s a lot of rumors about me moving on, Holly
moving on … it’s really sad.”

Wilkinson, 23 (who has denied reports she’s engaged), continued: “I mean, it’s only sad because Hef has to deal with it, and Hef gets really emotional because he really loves us.

“He is definitely a softie,” she added, “so it’s really sad seeing him go through this stuff.”

Lucky for 82-year-old Hef, “he keeps it cool, and he has a lot of girlfriends around now to keep him happy,” Wilkinson told Us.

But Wilkinson has a message for the girls from The Hills: Stay away.

Asked who’d win in a smackdown — The Girls Next Door or the girls from The Hills – Wilkinson laughed.

“Aw, man – you see my guns? Are you serious now?” she asked Us. “I would take them all down. By myself.”

Rumors of Hugh Hefner and his girls calling it quits have been greatly exaggerated.

The Playboy captain just told me that he is very much still dating Holly Madison, Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt.

“The reality is the girls and I are all together,” Hefner said.

He quickly shot down reports that Madison has been seeing Mindfreak illusionist Criss Angel.

“Holly shares my bed on a nightly basis,” Hef said.

And Hef had a lot more to say…

Hefner does acknowledge that the relationships are “in transition.”

“Are there going to be changes in the relationships, I’m sure there are going to be,” Hefner said. “I think that in the future, the girls are going to, in time, be dating others and moving out of the mansion, and when that happens we will not be keeping it a secret,” Hefner said.

He says he’s not surprised by the constant gossip and false rumors because the girls have become celebrities in their own right because of the success of E!’s The Girls Next Door.

Season five premieres Oct. 5, and Hef and the girls have committed to a season six if there is one.

One man appears determined to crash the party at the Playboy Mansion.

Los Angeles police say a Ventura County man rammed his vehicle into the gates at Hugh Hefner’s legendary home twice in the past week.

Detectives believe both incidents involve an “ongoing dispute,” Lt. John Romero told the Los Angeles Times, without offering details.

Jason Lee, a police spokesman, said no one was injured in either incident.

The unnamed suspect was arrested and released after the first crash last Thursday night, Lee said. He slammed his car into the gates again Tuesday, but fled before police arrived. The gates sustained some damage.

Police did not know if Hefner, the founder of Playboy magazine, or his three girlfriends were at home at the time.

Officials at Playboy’s corporate offices in Los Angeles and Chicago could not be reached for comment Wednesday night.
