This Season of ‘Kendra’ is More Real Than Ever

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Kendra Wilkinson has gone from ‘Girl Next Door,’ to wife and mom.

The 24-year-old Playmate, who gave birth to Hank Baskett Jr. in December, debuts the second season of her show ‘Kendra’ tonight, and talked to PopEater about being first-time parents with husband Hank Baskett and what the audience can expect to see this year.

“I’m excited, but I’m also nervous. It’s been the most real that we’ve ever shown — that we’ve ever filmed,” she tells us.

Wilkinson also discusses her struggle to get back into a bikini and body issues in Hollywood.

Are you excited for the second season?
I’m excited, but I’m also nervous. It’s been the most real that we’ve ever shown — that we’ve ever filmed. I’m part-producer and I have a choice, I have power to turn off the cameras or to turn on the cameras. I got a chance to tell them to turn on the cameras because this is something real, something that I want people to know about me, that I’m actually going through. I’m a normal human being just like everyone else and I go through problems. I just wanted the chance to capture those real moments. I invited some of my friends from California that are Playmates and that was just wrong timing because their bodies — they were so beautiful and I didn’t feel so beautiful then [because I just had a baby.] … I wanted the chance to capture my feelings from that.

Kendra Wilkinson Taking Baby Hank to Meet Hugh Hefner

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

He watched Daddy play in the Super Bowl. Now, baby Hank Baskett IV is off to meet Mommy’s famous ex at the Playboy Mansion.

Continuing his busy first few months of life, baby Baskett will get to meet Hugh Hefner, the legendary Playboy founder, on Monday during a trip with mom Kendra Wilkinson to the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles.

“Lil Hank gets to meet him today!! So excited!” Wilkinson tweeted on Monday morning.

Wilkinson lived at the mansion as one of Hefner’s girlfriends from 2004 until 2009. Much of her life there was documented in the E! reality show The Girls Next Door.

Wilkinson, 24, and Hefner, 83, split amicably when Wilkinson met the NFL player Hank Baskett. She gave birth to baby Hank in December.

When Hefner learned last June that Wilkinson was pregnant, he told PEOPLE he was happy for her, and said of Baskett: “I think he’s a good guy and they’ll be good for one another.”

Kendra Wilkinson wants to go under the knife

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Kendra Wilkinson might have that laugh and will most likely be remembered as one of the more annoying former Hefner gals, but she’s come a long way. After having her baby, she seems much more grounded and happy than she was before. There’s one thing that’s bothering her, though: her breasts.

Kendra’s interview with the tabs led to stories in both Life & Style and In Touch Weekly, in which she said that her breasts were too large now that she’s breastfeeding.

In the interviews, Kendra mentioned going under the knife to reduce her breasts.

“I’d definitely consider getting my boobs redone after breast-feeding,” she told Life & Style. “They’re a little too big now. I’ve considered getting a breast reduction.”

In her interview with In Touch, she gave us even more details, saying “I went from a 34C to an E. I had never even heard of that in my life. I’m on the E! Network, and I’m an E cup.”

Even though we’ve seen Kendra don some pretty skimpy ensembles for her past Playboy work and “modeling” gigs, she admitted that she won’t drop her clothes in the future.

“If I were asked, it’d be a hard decision, but I’d lean toward no,” Kendra told Life & Style. “The Playboy chapter of my life is now closed. I would definitely model, but I don’t think I would pose nude. I’m on to the next chapter of being a mom and a wife.”

Kendra Wilkinson’s Bikini Pose With Baby Hank!

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Never mind the fact that Kendra Wilkinson’s rocking a bikini on the cover of OK! after giving birth only eight weeks ago…we can’t get over how cute baby Hank is!

And while the mag talks about how she lost “around 25 pounds,” we don’t really care about the diet tips as much as we love seeing more pics of Hank Jr.!

And there are more adorable pics of the twosome inside the mag sticking their tongues out at each other.

Aww.

Anyway, if you want her fitness tips, she’s doing “45 minutes of hardcore training and weightlifting” followed by the treadmill until she’s tired.

And she’s also been doing lots of squats and lunges to try get a butt like Kim Kardashian’s.

“She can be my motivation to try and get the best booty in Hollywood!” Kendra tells the mag.

We still care more about the baby than the butt exercises, though. You?

Super Bowl Win will have Kendra Jumping in Hubby’s Lap

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

If Hank Baskett’s team, the Indianapolis Colts, wins Sunday’s Super Bowl XLIV in Miami – there’s no keeping his wife Kendra Wilkinson off the field.

“I’m told only two people per player are allowed on the field after the game,” Wilkinson tells PEOPLE at party she hosted Friday night at Seminole Hard Rock Casino’s Passions club near Miami. “His dad and I will run out there, and I will jump in my husband’s lap while grandma stays behind and holds little Hank!”

Glowing in tight white jeans, the reality star could barely contain her excitement over her Super Bowl plan, jumping up and down as she talked of game day. Wilkinson plans to watch from a box with her son Hank Baskett IV, 2 months, and her mother, Patti.

In addition to his Colts jersey, she says, “Little Hank will be wearing earphones so the noise doesn’t overwhelm him.” Says Wilkinson: “I love every minute of every day I spend with him because he is constantly changing. He focuses on me and likes to imitate what I say and do.”

For example, if Wilkinson, who is filming the weekend for her new reality show which begins in March, says “mommy,” her son moves his mouth to try and form the word. “Our little boy is beyond cute,” she says. “It won’t be long before he talks.”

And his grandma, Patti Wilkinson, agrees. She flew to the Sunshine State from San Diego for some family time. “I have not spent any time with little Hank until yesterday,” Patti says. “I am so thrilled to be able to play with him. He is already a heavy little thing. I think he will be a football player someday!”

Wilkinson and Baskett, who is the Colts’s wide receiver, are planning to take their son to the San Diego-Los Angeles area during the off-season.

“We will head back to California and wait to see where Hank plays next season,” Wilkinson tells PEOPLE, noting that they’ve been in Indianapolis less than a year. “It will be good because grandma can see her little darling more often. The baby has enriched all of our lives.”

Kendra’s GND Bestie Not Rooting for Hank?!

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

Bridget Marquardt may be one of Kendra Wilkinson’s best gal-pals, but that doesn’t mean she’s rooting for Hank Baskett and the Colts during this weekend’s Super Bowl.

Bridget tells us she’s Team Saints…

“I think it would be amazing for New Orleans to win the Super Bowl,” Bridget told us last night at Svedka Vodka’s Adult Playground 2033 Event Series hosted by nightlife impresaria Allison Melnick and Perez Hilton at Hollywood’s Playhouse nightclub. “I’m really on the fence with it, because of course I want the best for Hank and Kendra, but I really do think it’d be amazing for the Saints to win!”

Fortunately, Bridget’s Saints support comes from a good place. “I’m not really partial to New Orleans, but I feel like we haven’t done enough over there to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina,” she said. “It’s really important…I feel like we’ve done so much for Haiti, but not enough for New Orleans.”

Kendra Wilkinson gears up for Super Bowl Weekend

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Taking a break from her motherly duties, Kendra Wilkinson is getting ready to pack her bags and head to southern Florida.

The former “Girls Next Door” star is gearing up to cheer on husband Hank Baskett as his Indianapolis Colts face off against the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl next Sunday (February 7).

Among the festivities, the 24-year-old Playboy beauty will be throwing a pre-game party at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino’s Passion night club.

Of the plans to leave the baby in good hands, Kendra tweeted: “yes family will be watching the baby that night.”

Earlier tweeting about the Super Bowl weekend, Miss Wilkinson wrote: “u ready to take on miami? the superbowl will be lil Hanks first football game yayyyyyy”

Holly Madison ready for Holly’s World Spin-Off

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Two of the former Girls Next Door stars are already managing their own shows: Bridget Marquardt has Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches, while Kendra Wilkinson has Kendra. Now, it’s time for Hugh Hefner’s #1 to get the spotlight. With her steady and successful Vegas performances, surely Holly Madison will find it easy to return to reality TV.

Since E! has already premiered a sneak peek of Holly’s World and found out that it was met with applause from fans, it’s no surprise that they’re pushing through with more episodes. The launch occurred last December, but the actual reality series will air in the summer of 2010.

Holly’s World, as we expected, will revolve around Holly Madison’s new life outside of the Playboy Mansion. Just like in Kendra, we’ll be following this star of the original Girls Next Door as she navigates life. But what’s more exciting is that this will all take place in Sin City, where Madison appears on the burlesque act Peepshow.

According to E! Online, the first season of this upcoming series will have eight episodes and will air later this year. It will be produced by Kevin Burns, who is also responsible for The Girls Next Door and Kendra.

As for more details on Holly’s World, it’s going to be about the former #1 of Hef as “she lives, works and plays in her new home in Las Vegas.” Some of the episodes lined up involve Holly shooting her pinup calendar in Mexico, and even meeting Las Vegas mayor Oscar B. Goodman.

It looks like the fans of the original Girls Next Door series will be ecstatic about this, seeing as how the new batch of Hef’s ladies isn’t as popular. With Kendra and Holly’s World set for the network, things can only get better. Now, let’s just wait for the trio’s reunion to finally happen.

— So the question is, will all you fans be watching? I will most defiantly tune in! I am excited and cannot wait for it! :)

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

“Holly’s World” follows Madison on- and offstage as she stars in the Vegas production “Peepshow.” The network has ordered eight half-hour episodes for a summer debut. The decision follows the ratings success of the “Girls” spin-off “Kendra,” which set records for the network last year.
