Hugh Hefner has been screwed by the Internet .. and now the Playboy honcho has announced he's releasing the Lindsay Lohan issue early ... after the entire spread was leaked on the web.
Hef just tweeted, "Because of the interest & the Internet leak, we're releasing the Lindsay Lohan issue early."
As we previously reported, Playboy invested a TON of money into the Lohan edition -- and had printed thousands of extra copies in anticipation of unprecedented demand.
Lindsay Lohan is shooting nude photos for Playboy -- TMZ has confirmed -- and LiLo don't strip for peanuts ... the spread will earn her almost a million dollars!
Sources tell us the deal has been in the works for months, and that Lindsay balked at an initial $750K offer because she wanted ... ONE MILLION dollars ... to show the world what her momma gave her (apologies for the DiLo reference).
We're told Hugh Hefner and Co. recently came back to Lindsay with an offer less than her asking price -- but close enough for her to sign on the dotted line. No word yet on which issue Linds will be featured in ... but it's a good bet she'll be on the cover.
Lindsay's rep said, "I can neither confirm or deny at this time." Playboy didn't immediately respond to our email or phone call.
According to sources, the shoot started over the weekend -- which means Linds was juggling her court ordered morgue duties ... with getting nekkid.
Deal of the century -- some mystery buyer just purchased the massive engagement ring Hugh Hefner gave to Crystal Harris ... for a fraction of the original $90,000 price tag.
Sources tell TMZ, the unidentified bidder won Crystal's auction this morning -- bidding $38,000 for the 3.39 carat circular-cut diamond. With taxes and fees, the final bill was $47,500.
Shockingly, the ring actually exceeded auctioneer expectations -- because it was only supposed to sell for $20 -$30k.
Hugh reportedly shelled out the full $90k for the ring when he proposed to Crystal less than a year ago -- but Crystal called the wedding off.
A diamond isn't always forever ... sometimes it's only for 6 months -- especially for Hugh Hefner's ex-fiancee Crystal Harris ... who just put her engagement ring on a pretty famous auction block!

Sources close to Crystal tell us ... the former Playboy model "couldn't bear to look at the ring anymore because it brought back bad memories."
