Coming to a store near you: Kendra Wilkinson’s new line of stripper poles!

“I’m coming out with my own stripper pole. Stripper pole, and stripper pole workout,” The Girls Next Door star, 23, told Usmagazine.com at the American Red Cross Red Tie Affair in Santa Monica Saturday.

“It’s like Carmen Electra’s, but mine is better,” she continued. “Mine will connect to the ceiling, and you can spin on it and do all that stuff on it.”

Wilkinson is busy promoting her new E! reality show, Kendra, which follows her engagement and marriage to Philadelphia Eagles’ beau Hank Baskett.

“It’s been fun,” she said of taping the series, which premieres this summer. “A lot of work, but fun. I’m used to Holly and Bridget, but now it’s just me. My show’s kind of — our show — is kind of like I Love Lucy, but newlyweds. It’s funny.”

How’s wedding planning going?

“Still working on the dress,” Wilkinson — who was worried about looking too “’80s Prom” — told Us. “We’re talking to a really cool florist. He’s making the flowers amazing — 6-foot centerpieces! It’s going to look like a fair-tale wedding. I’m really excited about it.”

Her mom, on the other hand, is “really nervous,” Wilkinson admitted. “She’s more nervous than excited. I don’t think she believes I’m going to get married until the day. I think she doesn’t want to lose me.”

The couple will say “I Do” June 27 at the Playboy mansion.

Kendra Wilkinson Sets Wedding Date!

Dec 262008

Kendra Wilkinson and NFL wide receiver Hank Baskett will wed June 27 at the Playboy Mansion.

The Girl Next Door revealed she planned the date around Baskett’s football season with the Philadelphia Eagles.

“He’s going to come out here,” she told Robin Leach at the Las Vegas launch of The Girls Next Door book. “We can’t have a wedding anywhere else because my grandma can’t fly. So I’m waiting for him to come out here and help me plan. I’m ready to just get married.”

“I love football, but I never thought I would marry a football player,” she told Leach’s Las Vegas blog. “We all have our perfect match, I have.”

Meanwhile, it seems Wilkinson, 23, is having second thoughts about whether or not she wants Playboy mogul ex boyfriend Hugh Hefner, 82, to walk her down the aisle.

“I think so, but I don’t know yet…it’s so weird,” she told Leach.

Hefner has admitted he’s been thinking twice about letting his ex Kendra Wilkinson get away.

“There may be a moment at the ceremony when I have second thoughts…may have to negotiate this,” Hefner told E! earlier this month.

(Although he must not be too torn up over losing Wilkinson: “Nothing has been the same” since the “two very lovely twins [Karissa and Kristina Shannon, 19] walked into my life,” he said.)

Kendra and Hank Create Heartburn

Nov 112008

Turns out Girls Next Door star Kendra Wilkinson’s engagement (which we broke) to pro ballplayer Hank Baskett isn’t such a hands-down happy celebration after all. Call it Bunnygate, if you will.

As you probably were aware, plans were already majorly in the works, with Hugh Hefner’s blessing, not to mention participation, for Kendra to leave GND for her own show. “It was supposed to be Kendra, sexy and single, out of the mansion, on her own,” said a source close to the deal.

But here’s what’s gone down:

Kendra’s engagement to Hank “caught Hef way off guard,” reveals the Girls Next Door type, who insists H2 was most displeased at the rush to the altar.

“All that you see now, with Hugh saying he’s going to give the bride away, that the wedding’s going to be at the mansion, it’s bull****,” piped the close Kendra chum, who believes Playboy’s put-on-the-spot positive spin won’t really come to pass. Only time and (call me jaded) potential ratings will tell.

Sources inside Wilkinson’s camp do not blame Kendra, they blame Hank: “[Baskett] completely jumped the gun,” insists a Wilkinson colleague. “He showed up with a camera crew and proposed to Kendra on top of the Space Needle; of course Kendra said yes, she’s absolutely thrilled!” (As you can see in the exclusive-to-the-Awful-Truth snap above.)

But not Hef. Nor are the folks who are trying to turn Kendra into the next viable Pam Anderson type, only without the sex tapes.

Girls Next Door Kendra Wilkinson, 23, is engaged to Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett, her ex Hugh Hefner tells Usmagazine.com in a statement.

“Kendra Wilkinson has met someone who she would like to spend the rest of her life with,” Hefner tells Us. “He popped the question last Saturday.

“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,” he continued.

In September, Wilkinson denied engagement rumors.

Meanwhile, Hefner’s other ex, Holly Madison (from whom he split in October), continues to heat up with illusionist Criss Angel.

The pair locked lips and held hands at the premiere of “Criss Angel Believe by Cirque Du Soleil” on Halloween night in Las Vegas.

And don’t worry about Hefner, 82: He has already moved on with 19-year-old twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon.

“I mean, Hef will always be Hef,” Wilkinson told Us recently. “You can never change him. Hef will keep going on. He’ll keep loving women, keep loving the big boobs and blondes.”

Is Kendra Wilkinson trading up?

Joe Francis, Kendra Wilkinson Comments Off

Oct 012008

One of Hugh Hefner’s “Girls Next Door” took a break from the Playboy Mansion to hang with “Girls Gone Wild” chief Joe Francis in Miami. They were making out at Karu&Y on Friday before Francis went to club Heathrow. There, an onlooker said, “He was texting Kendra on his BlackBerry all night until she finally showed up at 2 a.m. . . . they stayed out until 5.” Francis told us, “If you were Kendra and you looked at the Playboy stock price lately [which closed at $3.94 yesterday, down from $12 a year ago], wouldn’t you think about upgrading, too?”

Eagle’s secret ‘LOOOOOVVVVEEEE!!!!’ not Hef bad

Sep 222008

EAGLES RECEIVER Hank Baskett seems to be quite chummy with Kendra Wilkinson, a Playboy model and one of the co-stars on E!’s “The Girls Next Door.”

Wilkinson is, on the show at least, one of Hugh Hefner’s live-in girlfriends. We’re told that Wilkinson, 23, and Baskett, 26, recently dined together at Redstone (500 Rt. 73 S.) in Marlton.

She lists “HB3″ as one of her heroes on her MySpace page, and Baskett’s page, which is private, says “HB3 in LOOOOOVVVVEEEE!!!!” An Eagles spokesman contacted Baskett for comment and got back to us saying he had not heard from the receiver.

E-mails to Playboy publicists were not returned by deadline.
