Karissa Shannon and her identical twin sister, Kristina are the new girlfriends of Hugh Hefner, THE playboy of Playboy! Cute, blonde and sassy as hell, both of these girls have tempers flaring and hormones racing all around the U.S. With a, they are the girl’s who "ruined” the top rated hit on E!, The Girl’s Nearby. To others they are the ultimate Men’s Fantasy, soon to be seen NUDE as Playmate's inside a 2009 issue of Playboy.
Watching their transformation into Playboy style Blonde Bombshell’s has been a ride ride. The twins were born 19 years ago. According to their father, Patrick Shannon, the girls’ mother passed away and that he raised them alone. They came to California from Clearwater, Florida. Seems like they also spent at least a part of their childhood in Hartfield, Michigan. There’s very little information out there about their childhood, but surely his or her popularity grows, same goes with the abundance of info.
The twins worked at Winghouse in Florida as well as appeared within the restaurants 2009 and 2008 popular calendars. But Hollywood was calling. After posing for famed Playboy photographer Jarmo Pohjaniemi, they were inspired to come to California. In October of 2008 they moved in to the Playboy Mansion. What happened next depends upon who you ask! The "official” story is that shortly after Hugh Hefner’s longtime girlfriend, Holly Madison ended their relationship, she threw a party in honor of the girls. It was at this party the girls told Hef they'd like to be his new girlfriends. Shortly after that, Holly Madison went public with the breakup. While claiming heartbreak the following day, Hef proudly presented his two new girls to the media and 2 days later, the media storm started with the two beautiful twins right in the middle of it.
Within Twenty four hours, an arrest record and full report was all around the "infotainment” news. Based on the report, last January, girls had physically assaulted a girl they knew from work after a verbal encounter. These were both faced with felony aggravated assault. They were released on $10,000 bond, ordered to pay restitution and are both still on probation. But that is not every! The most popular twin, Karissa had been arrested in November 2007 for any misdemeanor assault! Obviously the media was all around the arrest reports. Very quickly the MySpace pages of Patrick Shannon, went private. Just the day before it had proudly proclaimed "Holly finally told the world, The truth can come out!” The twins ever-present aunts changed their pages to private too. Eventually, the pressure reached the girls plus they switched theirs to private, too. But which was temporary! These girl's Love the spotlight! Says one quote using their MySpace "Hollywood Here We Come!”
Will the twins survive the bad press they’re getting? Can they live with being the target of furious fans all over the world? To see precisely how serious the distaste for the girls has grown, it's possible to simply browse the discussion boards on E! Online. There is a section for the fans of The Girl’s Next Door, and people fans are not happy. Actually they are raging. At some point it got so bad that Kevin Burns, Executive Producer of TGND and good friend of Hef’s wrote several messages trying to get the fans to relax. It failed! The moderators of the boards ended up creating a rule that anybody who desired to "bash” the twins had to go to the "Critics of The Girl’s Next Door” board that had been designed a few years ago. Even with the threat to be banned, members manage to sneak up jabs in nearly every message. In their minds, no one will replace Holly, Kendra and Bridget.
So what's next? The twins have previously appeared in a number of episodes of TGND and they're filming more. A minumum of one upcoming episode shows a brand new version from the sleepover episode the original GND did in Season Two called Sleepwear Optional. It is so similar that the girls, and at least three of their guests are even wearing the same pajamas in the Season Two episode! In addition to the show, the twin’s Playboy pictorial is anticipated in early Summer. And being Hef’s girlfriends calls for lots of public appearances, parties and fun! Together with his other new girlfriend girls can be really busy! So, love ’em or hate ’em, they’re here,and they do kinda grow you! We might be unable to enable you to get in to the next Playboy party, but we will help you stay informed of what they're up to the very best we are able to.
