Yes, Holly Madison is taking over Las Vegas. With her numerous shows there everyday, it seems like the Girls Next Door star just doesn’t want to leave. Conversely, this reality TV celebrity actually wants to lead. She expressed her ambition on an interview with the Toronto Star recently, joking around and revealing her career goals.

The 29-year-old Playboy model announced that she could probably delve into politics. “I want to be the Mayor of Las Vegas,” she announced. “I’d be really good at it.”

After you pick up that jaw of yours from the floor, let’s put things into perspective. It definitely is a surreal statement coming from someone who bared her body as she graced the pages of a men’s magazine. But even then, she was already the cause of many jaws dropping.

Right now, however, Holly Madison is focusing her efforts on Peepshow and is just appearing on several shows in Las Vegas, such as the upcoming Hollyween. Sometimes she just hangs around with her former co-stars on The Girls Next Door. Why? Well, she has a very, very flexible schedule thanks to Peepshow.

“It only takes three hours off my day and I’m free to do whatever I want,” Madison declared.

With so much time in her hands, the reality star has harbored many dreams. There’s one part she’s hoping to play, but with her luck she’ll probably get to do it in the near future.

“I want to be The Green Fairy in a stage version of Moulin Rouge, only I’d add all kinds of burlesque numbers,” she exclaimed.

Still, that doesn’t mean she’s leaving her political aspirations behind. Even though she hasn’t started running for mayor, Holly Madison already has a campaign slogan for herself: “Less traffic, more fun.”

Whether she’s serious or not remains questionable, but it’d still be quite a shock to have Hugh Hefner’s former No. 1 girlfriend running a whole city.

In an interview given exclusively to PopEater, Kendra Wilkinson and her husband, NFL star Hank Baskett speak with In Touch Weekly about the highly anticipated arrival of son Henry Baskett IV.

As a Playboy model, Wilkinson was used to being ogled for her body. But now, seven months pregnant with a protruding belly, the former ‘Girls Next Door’ star has an understanding of what it means to feel beautiful on the inside, too. “The reason I feel so beautiful is not because of my looks, it’s because of my bond with the baby.”
How much weight have you gained so far? “I have gained 40 pounds. I still have a month-and-a-half to go. I was 110 or 115 and now weigh 150.”

How do you feel about the weight gain?
“There are things I love about it. I love that my hips are growing, even though it hurts. I want that butt and am starting to get it, so I’m excited.”

What have you been craving?
“I’ve been eating a lot of breakfast – eggs, bacon and cheese sandwiches with wheat toast, a lot of waffles with peanut butter. Peanut butter is my biggest craving. I actually put bananas and syrup all over it, too. Even though I don’t usually eat much meat, I’ve been eating a lot of ribs with barbecue sauce and steak. Also, my craving for chocolate came back. I never ate it before because it gave me migraines.”

What kind of dad will Hank be?
“The best role model in the whole world! I am so happy we’re having a boy first because I am excited to see the relationship between little Hank and Hank. I want him to be himself, but also have the same characteristics as Hank.”

Has it changed your sex life?
“Yes, it’s changed our sex life — for the worse [laughs]. I am a wild girl in bed and I can’t really be that wild anymore because I have limits now. I have 40 extra pounds in my belly, so I get tired easily. But no, of course, it’s still great. I have a great man in bed, he definitely knows how to please me. But, yeah, we’ll be better after when we have more energy!”

Do you feel prettier pregnant?
“I have never felt this beautiful! The one thing I love about being pregnant is my skin, I used to have the worst acne. My whole life it’s been horrible – on the ‘Girls Next Door,’ it was disgusting. This is the best skin that I have ever had in my life!”

What’s the best thing about being pregnant? “The greatest thing is probably just feeling like a queen. Everybody does everything for me. And Hank is always just giving me unconditional love – that different type of love that I’ve never felt before.”

E! Entertainment cameras arrived on the Strip last night and began filming “scene set shots by dark” in advance of four days of shooting the first episode of Holly Madison’s new reality TV show this morning. I can reveal that two days — tomorrow and Thursday — will be spent downtown at City Hall in the company of our merry mayor of mirth, Oscar Goodman.

Holly, in Mary Tyler Moore comedy style, has her eyes on becoming an intern at City Hall to learn about the politics of Las Vegas. But that’s a ruse, because she admits that she might even run for mayor now that Oscar is termed out and seriously contemplating a run for governor as an Independent. Holly as mayor wouldn’t be a first for our city because one-time car dealer Jan Jones had the job for two terms back in the 1990s, but it sure would be a first for a continuing reality TV series!

Contrary to buzz circulating, Holly is not the secret winner of the new reality TV show Face of Vegas that wrapped its four-week filming schedule here over the weekend with Vanessa Minnillo, Carson Kressley and Howard Stern’s wife Beth Ostrosky. However, Holly was seen in last night’s season premiere of ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner’s The Girls Next Door on E! Part 2 airs tonight and shows Hef’s new gal pals the Shannon twins (Karissa and Kristina) tricked into a crazy adventure among the wax statues at Madame Tussauds in The Venetian.

Although new wifey and mom-to-be Kendra Wilkinson is settling into her new life in Indianapolis, her heart is back in Hollywood. But not necessarily at the Playboy Mansion.

The one-time Girl Next Door tells E! News that she’s planning on moving back to California sometime in February and buying her own house in L.A.

“It’s such a tease, because I want to be settled,” says Kendra, who moved to Indianapolis with footballer hubby Hank Baskett after he was dropped by the Eagles and picked up by the Colts.

“But I have to stay strong for Hank,” she tells E! News. “It’s his job. It was really hard on him when the Eagles released him. I’m here to be his backbone, and though it’s hard on me, I didn’t want to make it hard on him.”

One thing making the transition easier?

Her hubby’s new teammates have welcomed her into their group. The sports fan is even attending a ladies’ lunch at Peyton Manning’s house on Wednesday.

“They’ve all been very sweet so far,” says Kendra. “My first game was two weeks ago, and they were all really, really nice.”

And the lack of paps in Indy doesn’t hurt either. In fact, the blond babe says she’s prepping to fend off photogs when she returns to L.A. with her little boy, due in December.

“Consider me a mama grizzly bear,” says Kendra. “I’m definitely not going to put up with TMZ s–t at all. If I’m trying to get somewhere and I have my baby, trust me, I will attack.”

Playboy model Bridget Marquardt has been tipped to appear on this year’s I’m A Celebrity….

According to the Daily Star, ITV1 producers are currently in negotiations about the 35-year-old entering the jungle.

Marquardt appeared in US reality series Girls Next Door and has also cameoed in drama series Entourage.

“Bridget would love the challenge of the jungle and meeting new people. She’s a fun girl,” said a source.

Other stars rumored to be taking part in the reality series this year include WAGs Nicola T and Lizzie Cundy, model Samantha Fox, actor Brian Blessed and snooker star Jimmy White.

I’m A Celeb… returns to ITV1 in November.

Kendra Wilkinson has experienced the world as one of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends, but when it comes to this blonde bombshell, there’s more to her than meets the eye: The ex-Playmate is currently writing her memoir to share her life, and Hugh’s already a fan!

“I think its wonderful!” Hugh tells OK!. “I think its going to be popular [book], and it’s very flattering because I think being here at the Mansion has changed her life completely.”

After spending her last five years living at the Playboy Mansion, the lively blond moved out last year and also started a relationship with professional football player, Hank Baskett, now her husband.

Since moving out on her own, Kendra has said in interviews that she had a bad childhood, which was a result of growing up without a father. Hugh, who is 59 years her senior, could be responsible for playing the paternal figure she needed in her life.

“I didn’t really know before the fact,” Hugh explains. “It was one of the reasons why her mother was so proud when she moved here, and it worked out.”

The newlywed is splitting time between L.A. and new home Indianapolis (her hubby got released from the Philadelphia Eagles and signed with the Indianapolis Colts earlier this month) and is due to give birth to her first child, Hank Baskett IV, this December.
