Hey guys, it's never too late.

As long as men and women have existed, men have desired women younger than themselves. All of biology and society is tilted in this direction, whether it's the fact that men remain sexually potent far longer than women do or the squishy idea that men become "distinguished" as years go by while older women look, well, "old."

Hey, we didn't write the rules, we're just teling you how it is.

In June 2011, Hugh Hefner's then-fiancé Crystal Harris, 60 years younger than the aged playboy, skipped out on the wedding and said some not-very-nice things about her (apparently) heartbroken old beau. A year later, the two reunited, and on Saturday, the news broke that they again planned to wed, this time in a small ceremony to be held on New Year's Eve at the Playboy Mansion. 

Let's face it: Hugh Hefner is a freak, in the most enviable way possible. His entire romantic life since founding Playboy has been a series of young sexpots. These days his girlfriends, Crystal included, are not young enough to be his daughter; they'd be on the young side even for a granddaughter.

We may never see someone quite like Hugh Hefner again, but that doesn't mean cradle-robbing isn't a popular practice for men. And seeking mates with that father-figure quality (evolution makes them want reliable providers, y'know) continues to occur in the female of the species. Here are 15 hot young things who've been snatched up by wily old coots.

Megan Fox

People look at this relationship and wonder how it works. What strange chemistry is going on here? What's their secret? Well, let's just accept the truth: Brian Austin Green is the luckiest man in Hollywood, and not exactly a far-fetched choice for a stunning beauty. If you check his dating history, you'll see he dated Tiffani Thiessen and was married to Vanessa Marcil, when both were in their prime.

Beyoncé

The arguable king of 21st-century hip-hop married the queen of 21st-century pop, what more do we need to explain? Together, they are the ultimate celebrity power couple.

Paige Butcher

Australian model Paige Butcher is known for her privacy, while Murphy in his later years is known for making more questionable personal decisions than funny movies. This relationship has only been public knowledge for about a month, so we can't really tell you any more than that. She is smokin' though.

Stacy Keibler

This one makes us grin every time we see it. George Clooney, handsomest and smoothest man on the planet, walks down the red carpet of all his swanky events with a lady wrestler on his arm. For all her hotness, the fact remains that she used to brawl with women for the amusement of the rabble. He is a Hollywood leading man in the tradition of Cary Grant and Spencer Tracy; she is good at the corner foot choke and the hair-pull snapmare.

Shannon de Lima

Anthony might always be famous to most of America as Lopez's ex-husband, but we have to think that every time he looks at Shannon, his soul breathes a sigh of relief.

Amber Tamblyn

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Not Available Interstitial

Brits Rosie and Jason have been together for two years; the tough guy (a favorite actor of Guy Ritchie) and the underwear model (she's a Victoria's Secret Angel) are so colossally famous as a manly man and a womanly woman that they might have been ripped from the pages of a comic book. It goes to show that even in these enlightened times there's something to be said for clearly defining who wears the pants -- and who wears the lace hipster thong panties -- in a relationship.

Coco

Catherine Zeta-Jones

This one continues to defy explanation. CZJ is of sound mind and, at 43, totally sweet body, but she's been with Dougas since 1999. Meanwhile, her husband is rapidly turning into his own father, Kirk Douglas. When we see a guy like this with a girl like this, we can't help but think of some advice we once got: "Greed is good."

Courtney Stodden

Not Available Interstitial

The relationship that makes friends, family, and the general public queasy gained a measure of respectability when serial skimpy dresser Courtney turned 18 in August (she was 16 when they got married). It is simply hard to figure out what's in this for Stodden; she can't be "only in it for the fame" if Hutchison (an actor, we're told) has no fame to begin with. To be determined.
