Leave it to TMZ to sniff out the dirt on the newest “Girls Next Door”. Earlier today we learned that Hugh Hefner confirmed his split with former girlfriend Holly Madison (and soon Kendra Wilkinson) (after Holly broke the news on Tuesday) and also learned that Hef is lookin’ to replace his old girlfriends with a pair of twin sisters. It turns out that the twins, Karissa and Kristina Shannon, were busted at the start of this year for felony aggravated battery in Florida. Here are their very unflattering mug shots:

Turns out Hef’s 19-year-old handpicked twin successors to the throne of Holly, Bridget and Kendra come with a checkered past. Karissa (top) and Kristina Shannon (bottom) — 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.

I only have one comment, LOL! It really sounds like these twins were vetted by Hefner about as well as Sarah Palin was by McCain.* Hef sure knows how to pick ‘em, don’t he?

*It’s a joke, y’all … no angry comments please :)
