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 over the U.S. To some, those are the girl’s who "ruined” highly rated hit on E!, The Girl’s Nearby. To others those 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 is a ride ride. The twins were born 19 years back. Based on their father, Patrick Shannon, the girls’ mother passed away and that he raised them alone. They came to California from Clearwater, Florida. It appears 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 as their popularity grows, so will the abundance of info.
The twins worked at Winghouse in Florida as well as appeared in the restaurants 2008 and 2009 popular calendars. But Hollywood was calling. After posing for famed Playboy photographer Jarmo Pohjaniemi, these were inspired to come to California. In October of 2008 they moved into the Playboy Mansion. What happened next depends on who you ask! The "official” story is that shortly after Hugh Hefner’s longtime girlfriend, Holly Madison ended their relationship, she threw a celebration honoring the girls. It was at this party that the girls told Hef they'd like to be his new girlfriends. Soon after that, Holly Madison went public with the breakup. While claiming heartbreak the next day, Hef proudly presented his two new girls towards the media and two days later, the media storm started with the two beautiful twins right in the middle of it.
Within 24 hours, an arrest record and full report was all around the "infotainment” news. According to the report, last January, girls had physically assaulted a girl they knew from work following a verbal encounter. They were both faced with felony aggravated assault. These were released on $10,000 bond, ordered to pay for restitution and therefore are both still on probation. But that's not all! Our favorite twin, Karissa had been arrested in November 2007 for any misdemeanor assault! Obviously the media was all around the arrest reports. Quickly the MySpace pages of Patrick Shannon, went private. Only the day before it had proudly proclaimed "Holly finally told the world, NOW the truth will come out!” The twins ever-present aunts changed their pages to private as well. Eventually, pressure reached girls plus they switched theirs to personal, too. But which was short lived! These girl's Love the spotlight! Says one quote from their MySpace "Hollywood Ideas Come!”
Will the twins survive the bad press they’re getting? Can they live with being the target of furious fans around the world? To see just how serious the distaste for the girls has grown, it's possible to simply read the discussion boards on E! Online. There is a section for the fans of The Girl’s Nearby, and people fans aren't happy. Actually they're raging. At some point it got so bad that Kevin Burns, Executive Producer of TGND and close friend of Hef’s wrote a few messages looking to get the fans to relax. It didn't work! The moderators from the boards ended up creating a rule that anybody who wanted to "bash” the twins needed to go to the "Critics of The Girl’s Next Door” board that were designed a couple of years ago. Even with the threat of being banned, members have the ability to sneak in jabs in nearly every message. In their minds, nobody will replace Holly, Kendra and Bridget.
So what's next? The twins have previously appeared in several instances of TGND and they're filming more. At least one upcoming episode shows a new version of the sleepover episode that the original GND did in Season Two called Sleepwear Optional. It is so similar the girls, and a minimum of three of their guests are even wearing exactly the same pajamas from the Season Two episode! As well as 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,plus they do kinda grow you! We may be unable to enable you to get into the next Playboy party, but we will help you stay informed of the items they're as much as the very best we are able to.
