Kristina and Karissa Shannon (born October 2, 1989; Ann Arbor, Michigan )[1] are American glamour models , Playboy Playmates , and twin sisters.[2]
Career
In 2008, Hugh Hefner of Playboy chose the Shannons to be two of his three new girlfriends, replacing the departed Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson . (Crystal Harris replaced Holly Madison as Hefner's "number one" girlfriend with whom he shares a bed.) Because of their relationship with Hefner, the Shannons have appeared on E! network television series The Girls Next Door . Despite the girlfriend status, Karissa claims the relationship she and Kristina shared with Hugh Hefner was more for fun and the opportunity to be on show, rather than romance.
On January 14, 2010, Hugh Hefner revealed that the Shannons were moving out of the mansion to the local Playmate house with his blessing . They will continue to appear in The Girls Next Door .
The Shannons appeared as Miss July and Miss August 2009 in the double "summer issue" of Playboy that incorporated July and August in a single edition. Although they shared a single centerfold, they are the only twins to be designated Playmate of the Month for two distinct months. This was the first time since March 1955 that the magazine did not publish an issue for each month of the year; according to London's Daily Telegraph newspaper, this was due to significant losses in the company's value (down from $1billion in 2000 to $84mil in 2009) .
Personal life
In August 2010, sources began to report that Karissa had made a sex tape with Heidi Montag and that Spencer Pratt was attempting to sell the tape. Karissa confirmed the tape exists, but said she doubts Pratt has it.
2007 arrest
The Shannons were charged in St. Petersburg, Florida in January 2007 with aggravated assault. They reportedly got into a fight with two other people at a house party. The two were put on probation and required to pay restitution.
Karissa was also arrested on a misdemeanor battery charge in November 2007.
In a July 2010 interview, Karissa revealed she is dating actor Sam Jones III .
