Kendra’s New Matchmaking Skills
March 11th, 2009
Kendra Wilkinson is settling down with her soon-to-be husband Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett, and is also offering her matchmaking services to her newly single former Girls Next Door costar, Holly Madison.
“I was actually trying to hook her up with Reggie Miller,” the 23-year-old Playmate tells OK! “He has a crush on her, but she gets so shy when I tell her that.”
It has been a little over a month since Holly’s break-up with Criss Angel. Previous to her 4-month relationship to the illusionist, the 28-year-old Dancing With the Stars contestant was in a six-year relationship with the 82-year-old Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner, whom she affectionally dubbed “Puffin.”

Kendra Apologizes to Hef
January 16th, 2009
Former Girls Next Door Kendra Wilkinson is speaking up about her relationship with Hugh Hefner. No longer with the iconic Playboy, Kendra is apologizing for comments she made about her time spent living at the mansion with fellow girlfriends Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt.
"I’m more upset at myself with what I said," Kendra tells E! News about an explosive interview earlier this week in which the 23-year-old blond dished on her former love’s "lifestyle" and revealed details of her infidelity and Hef’s imposed curfew times.
"I’m really bad at interviews and anyone who knows me knew I meant no harm," she said. "I’m a goofball. Mostly I’m very sorry to have hurt Hef. Playboy made me who I am and Hef has done more for me than anyone else."
Wilkinson says she drove up to the mansion to personally apologize to Hefner and the house staff.
When asked how Hef reacted to the controversial article, Wilkinson said he was hurt by what was said. "Hef understands me better than anyone and loves me no matter what. I am very thankful for him."
"I mostly wanted the article to reveal how I am trying to live my life now that I’m engaged to Hank (Baskett)," she said. "I was hoping to come across more conservative and show my fans that I’m growing up naturally." She went on to say that Baskett was by her side throughout this entire ordeal. "He made me feel so much better about myself.he’s the best thing to ever happen to me, besides Hef," she says.
When pressed about her comments from the article that she said she had sex outside of the relationship, Wilkinson admitted that she didn’t mean to be so blunt about it. "I said I snuck sex every now and again and I can’t take that back."
Regarding her relationships with former "girlfriends" Madison and Bridget , Wilkinson said she personally apologized to them as well. "We are all doing so great these days, everyone is happy and doing their own thing."
And as for a possible wedding between Madison and current love, Mindfreak’s Criss Angel, Wilkinson said she is very happy for them both. "I like Criss very much and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if they got married."
"We will all be together forever," she said of the Girls Next Door foursome.
Kendra Wilkinson: Engaged!
November 7th, 2008
Star of The Girls Next Door, Kendra Wilkinson, one of Hugh Hefner’s three live-in girlfriends, is constantly touting her athletic abilities by sinking free throws, putting perfectly on the green and tossing around the ol’pigskin. So it should come as no surprise that the sports-crazy bunny is leaving the mansion to marry an athlete, Philadelphia Eagles receiver Hank Baskett.
Hef himself announced the impending nuptials of his former 23-year-old galpal in a statement yesterday.
”I have given her my blessing and will be giving her away at a very special wedding ceremony at the Playboy Mansion this coming June,” says the Playboy mogul.
The 82-year-old silk bathrobe-clad publisher has had quite a a few goodbyes this year; top girlfriend Holly Madison also announced she was moving out of the mansion last month, to be replaced by twin 19-year-olds Karissa and Kristina Shannon. Bridget Marquardt is still by Hef’s side—at least for now!
Life After Hef For The Girls Next Door
November 4th, 2008
So with the Waltons-style domestic bliss at the Playboy mansions lying in tatters, what does the future hold for Hugh Hefner’s three Girls Next Door?
Babies all round, it seems.
The Prince of Porn has just split with his ‘Number One Girlfriend’ Holly Madison, and now Kendra Wilkinson is heading for the door of the Playboy Mansion as well.
Now, five seasons into the E! Television show, only Bridget Marquardt is still standing by her Hef.
At the launch of new Playboy Presstoplay fragrance, Vegas, in New York OK! found out what’s next for the girls.
"We’re all so very young and we have all that time to live — and we’ll end up married with kids one day," says Kendra, (intriguingly, since Hef’s baby-making days seem to be over, and he has already refused to get married again. So you’d have to assume that even for Bridget, that would have to be with someone else!)
While Kendra says she "can’t wait" to have kids, and wants to start a family before the start of 2010, Holly says she hopes to be pregnant in the next couple of years.
But, strangely, Bridget, who has been hassling Hef to give her a little Playbaby of her own, is suddenly in no rush at all.
"I don’t have a timetable," she told us, "I’m at an age where I don’t have a biological clock ticking."
Meanwhile, at her Halloween party at the Hard Rock Hotel in her hometown of San Diego on Friday, Oct. 31, Kendra was overheard telling friends that she’s wants to stay in showbiz — but doesn’t want to share the limelight with the other girls.
"She was saying she is ready to move on with her life and would like to have her own show!," a partygoer tells OK!.
Holly Madison: Sad Over Split With Hef
November 3rd, 2008
Life as a Playboy bunny isn’t all parties and fun, even if you’re Hugh Hefner’s #1 girlfriend. Holly Madison and the sex mogul recently split up after seven years together, breaking the Playmate’s heart.
“I’m just kind of sad about my breakup with Hef. I wish he would’ve seen it coming,” the blonde beauty admits to Extra.
While all seemed to be smooth sailing on their E! reality show The Girls Next Door, Holly, along with fellow Hef galpal Kendra Wilkinson, announced she’ll be moving out of the house.
“Everybody was surprised when it happened because even though I was unhappy for a long time, the split happened suddenly," she reveals. "The signs were there. I was depressed for awhile.”
As for the reason behind the big split, Holly says that age ended up being more than just a number in their case.
"I want to be with somebody I can have more of a future with eventually. Hef and I can’t get married and have kids… So it was fun while it lasted but it wasn’t right for my old age. I got too old for Hef.”
There are no bad feelings, however, as Holly explains, “I still work for him. We’re still best friends. I still call and check in on him almost everyday.”
Next up? Perhaps her "friend with benefits," Criss Angel, of whom Holly says, "We’re good friends and we love spending time with each other."
Confirmed: Hugh Hefner & Holly Madison Split
October 8th, 2008
All good things must come to an end…even for rich and famous playboys like Hugh Hefner. And on Wednesday, the publishing king confirmed to E! that he and girlfriend Holly Madison have called their relationship off, putting to rest rumors that have been claiming the lovebirds were no more for weeks.
"If she’s says it’s over, it’s over," Hef said. "But like I’ve said before, she is the love of my life, and I expected to spend the rest of my life with her."
The 82-year-old founder of Playboy Magazine revealed things started to go sour about six months ago, when Hugh discovered he was unable to father a child with Holly.
"With my sperm count, it’s not possible," he explained. "I was willing, but it was not possible…She’d like to be married and have children, but it’s not in the cards here for me."
On her reality show, The Girls Next Door, Madison, 29, made no secret of her desire to marry Hefner and start a family.
As for the fate of Hefner’s remaining girlfriends, Bridget Marquart, 36, and Kendra Wilkinson, 23, (who has been romantically linked with Philadelphia Eagles player Hank Baskett) Hugh says they’re still romantically involved but admitted, "the relationship with Kendra will be ending when she moves out probably by the end of the year."
But don’t think the king of all swingers is taking his breakup lying down–no pun intended! He admits there are several girls waiting in the wings, and a few of them have caught his fancy.
In the last week, Hefner has been spotted with 19-year-old twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon. "They very much want to be girlfriends and now under the present circumstance, they probably will become my girlfriends."
There’ s also a college senior from Georgia– whom Hefner identifies as Amy Leigh Andrews –in the running .
"She was testing here this past weekend," Hefner reveals of the centerfold wanna-be. "And she said she’d like to be a girlfriend, too."
Hmm, Holly better think long and hard on this one!
Hef Won’t Marry Girlfriend Holly Madison
May 14th, 2008
Any hope Girls Next Door vixen Holly Madison may still have of marrying her Playboy prince, Hugh Hefner, may have finally slipped down the rabbit hole.
At the 2008 Playboy Playmate of the Year party held at the Playboy Mansion, Hefner said, "I love Holly very much and I think we’re going to be together the rest of my life. But marriage isn’t part of my puzzle. It’s not a personal thing–I just haven’t had much luck with marriages."
Hefner,82, whose life with his three girlfriends, Madison, Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt is featured on E!’s hit reality show The Girls Next Door, often follows "main girlfriend" Madison’s desire to marry the elderly tycoon.
Of Hef’s refusal to tie the knot the 28-year old says, "We are no closer to getting married than we were two years ago. It’s like a car stalled at the side of the road."
Meanwhile, Hefner may not be settling down anytime soon, but when it comes to retiring, he says it’s not in the cards.
"I have no plans to retire," he said. "It’s the perfect combination of work and play that keeps you young. If I quit work it would be the beginning of the end."
