Hugh Hefner Getting Old and Sick

Hugh Hefner (83) is reportedly looking fraile, old, and sick. Fox News reports:

The 83-year-old made a brief appearance at the Annual Kandyland Masquerade Ball at the iconic Mansion on Saturday night, but we’re told by numerous Playboy party regulars that while he appeared in good spirits, Hefner looked far from his normally alert and healthy self.

"He looked so old, like he had aged 10 years in the last month and was barely moving," said an insider, adding that Hef’s new number one Crystal held his hand and assisted him as she "slowly shuffled" along while his other lovers (the 19-year-old Shannon twins) marched ahead of the bunny brigade and reveled in the limelight.

"I have some aches and pains and I have had lower back problems since the ’80s," Hefner told Tarts last year. "Too much time in bed rustling around with friends."

Hefner’s rep denied any health problems, telling Tarts that "Hef is perfectly fine.

Hugh’s age is catching up to him, but he still looks great. It will be a sad day when Hugh passes.
