Hank Baskett: Proud Of Kendra's Playboy Cover

Hank Baskett loved the two-year-old shots of wife Kendra Wilkinson baring all in the December issue of Playboy.

"He's like, 'I'm so proud of you! You look so good!'" Kendra, 25, told Us Magazine of her husband's reaction at a signing event for Ab Cuts at a GNC store in L.A. "Even though that's like, so long ago, I'm like 'urghhhhhh!'" she added, doing a fist-pump move.

"I'm very happy, very honored to be on the cover with the old pictures," cooed Kendra, who's gotten married and had a son (Hank IV, nearly one) since that nude photo shoot.

Would she ever pose again? "I can't say," she said. "I can't lock the door to that, but I am saying no, because I'm where I need to be in my life . . . it's not the time in my life right now to do it."

Meanwhile, she says that she and husband Baskett, 28, are adjusting to a long-distance relationship. (Wilkinson and their son stayed behind in L.A. when he relocated to Minneapolis, where he's now playing for the Minnesota Vikings.

"We're working with it," she said. "You work against each other or you deal with it and we're dealing with it. We're doing great!"

Was Kendra Wrong To Be In Playboy Again?

Yesterday, Kendra Wilkinson's Playboy cover for their December issue was revealed. Following the big reveal, Kendra explained on her official website that the pictures were taken years ago when she was still living in the mansion.

So let's rewind for a second.. When Kendra and Hank began dating, she promised him she would never appear in Playboy again. Then, on the season premiere of Kendra which aired this past Sunday, he expressed to her that her post-baby Hank body was for his eyes only.

To many, this seems like a betrayal. Others believe that since the pictures were old, she's in the clear. So let us know, what do you think?

Was Kendra wrong to do Playboy even though the photos were old? 
Yes. She said she would NEVER be in Playboy again. This was just a manipulative way to get around the promise.

No. The pictures were taken before she met him, so she wasn't betraying him.

Kendra Sets Record Straight on Playboy Cover

Kendra Wilkinson -- whose son Hank Baskett IV turns 1 Dec. 11 -- has been speaking out about why she turned down an offer to pose in Playboy.

So fans were baffled when they saw the E! reality star, 25, on the magazine's December issue.

She has taken to her website to set the record straight:

"Hey guys! So I wanted to clear something up really quick! A lot of you saw on my show that I was struggling to decide whether to pose for Playboy again or not. I AM on the December cover of Playboy but it wasn’t from a recent shoot. The photos are from a shoot I did 2 years ago when I was still living in the mansion. I’m flattered to be on the cover again and as you all know Playboy has a very special place in my heart! I just wanted you guys to know I didn’t recently pose."

Katy Perry: I'd Rather 'Tease' Than Pose Nude

Katy Perry isn't shy about showing some skin – just don't expect her to bare all.

"I like to play [the sexy] card because it's fun and definitely in my deck, but I like to tease," Perry says in the December issue of British Cosmopolitan. "I'm like a burlesque girl. I definitely won't be doing a Playboy spread, but I will be doing a kind of Dita Von Teese style."

Being married to Russell Brand is what, Perry says, makes her feel unconditionally sexy.

"I'm confident in my skin I guess, lately," she explains. "I think that when you're in a supportive relationship, you don't care anymore about outside. Things that may have irked you before don't matter because you found someone who loves you no matter what."

Adds Perry, "I guess it's a mixture of, 'Hey, I'm 26, and I know these are my prime years and I feel confident,' and being loved-up."

Kendra: "Skype" Saving Long-Distance Marriage

Kendra Wilkinson says technology is helping her long-distance marriage to Hank Baskett.

Baskett, 28, was recently traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Minnesota Vikings. Though she wanted to join him in the Midwest, he told her it was best if she and baby Hank - who turns 1 next month - lived in L.A., where most of their friends and family reside.

To keep the romance alive, "We take advantage of Skype, texting," she said on the Today show Thursday, adding that they also use Apple's FaceTime, which allows them to have face-to-face video calls. "We have all that."

"It's actually a blessing in disguise," Wilkinson, 25, went on. "We get a chance to know each other all over again and communicate."

The only downfall: With her husband away, she said, "I'm doing kind of everything by myself."

Wilkinson wanted to reiterate to fans, "I love my married life. We're not separated."

In fact, she tells the new Us Weekly (now on newsstands) that they even want another baby! "We're talking about having No. 2," she tells Us.

One thing she is still on-the-fence about: Posing again for Playboy.

On the season premiere of E!'s Kendra Sunday, she receives a call from her agent asking her to strip down. She nervously asks her husband for permission but ends up turning down the offer.

Asked on the Today show if she's changed her mind, she said, "I'm leaning more on no. I'm 25, I'm still young, I'm still hot. But I'm like, 'Do I need to do Playboy again to be hot in the public eye?'"

"She's not worried about her husband, Hank [Baskett], or offending people," an insider tells Life & Style. "She just wants to lose more weight before doing it."

Kendra's first pictorial in Playboy was in 2005 with co-stars Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt and was taped for season one of The Girls Next Door.

Jayde Nicole: Why I Was Never Hef's Girlfriend

You may know Jayde Nicole as the Playmate that once dated The Hills' Brody Jenner. But she's moved on from the reality television star. She's been dating Las Vegas nightlife entrepreneur Jesse Waits since March.

"He treats me like a princess and is the most amazing boyfriend I have ever had," Jayde tells me via email from Bora Bora, where the two are vacationing. "I plan on keeping him around."

Jayde is just one of the gals featured in tonight's The Girls Next Door: The Bunny House, E!'s new special about the Playmates living across the way from the famed Playboy Mansion. Read on to find out what she told me about living with all those other women, why she's never been one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends, and if she thinks the Playboy mogul will keep Crystal Harris as his one-and-only.

What's the best part of living with all the other Playmates?A ton of great advice, there is never a shortage of cute outfits and you always have someone to have a slumber party with, and to go out and cause trouble with:)

Worst part? Any good feuds or drama you can tell me about?The Bunny House is like a huge sorority of beautiful Playmates all living under the same roof, so you can only imagine all the gossip, competing for the same jobs, rooms, clothes, everything. There is definitely some drama happening in this episode and it's only the very beginning.  

Are you still living there?I am currently living half at the Bunny House and half in Las Vegas and half in an airport. LOL. And yes, I realize that is three halves. Ha!

Do you think Crystal Harris is the right woman for Hef or do you think he still needs a couple of more girlfriends at the same time?I must admit it is really weird seeing Hef with only one girlfriend. But you never know what's going to happen around here. He may decide to just keep Crystal as his only one or maybe take on some new ones.

So why aren't you one of Hef's girlfriends? Was it ever a possibility?
Come on now, you should all know Hef only likes blondes. LOL. But seriously I am a Playmate and Hef and I have always had a great working relationship and a great friendship. He made me feel at home and safe when I first moved to L.A. and I consider him part of my Los Angeles family, but I have always had a boyfriend.

Heidi Montag's New Mansion: A Familiar Spread

Heidi Montag is very familiar with her new Malibu pad. The 23-year-old reality star used the 5-bedroom, 6-bath, 62,000 sq ft home ... owned by famous Malibu architect Robert Hayne ... for her Playboy September 2009 magazine spread.

In the Playboy photos, Heidi can seen striking a naked pose on a bareskin rug in the bedroom ... and in front of the home's fireplace. At the time of the shoot, photographer Matthew Rolston tells us he and Heidi fell in love with The Hayne House and themed it out with a "70's surf feel." Judging by the new pics of the pad, the new look is anything but retro!

Spencer Pratt: 'John Mayer Needs More Love'

Spencer Pratt has reportedly suggested that John Mayer "needs more love in his life", following the singer's recent interview with Playboy.

Mayer, who is currently on a world tour, has faced criticism over some of his statements to the magazine, including remarks on race and ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson.

When asked about the interview by Extra, Pratt said: "He needs more love in his life. John Mayer's getting caught up in what I got caught up in.

"You know, the pop culture, TMZ. I love famous. Don't get me wrong, I love cameras and lights, you can do that, but not at the expense of other people."

Pratt spent Valentine's Day weekend with wife Heidi Montag in Las Vegas, marking her first public appearance since undergoing plastic surgery in November.

Jayde Nicole: Not A $35/Night Vegas Escort

Jayde Nicole's face is plastered on escort cards on the streets of Las Vegas, but the playmate knows nothing about it. On the flier, TMZ reports, is a nude photo of Jayde Nicole from her Playboy spread, with the name "Tanya" on it.

TMZ called the escort company and they guaranteed the woman on the card is the exact woman who will show up to your "sleazy motel room". Although, the price says $35, "Tanya" is actually not that cheap. If you turn in the card, you'll get a $35 discount from the regular price, the site reports.

The playmate's rep told TMZ that lawyers have already "dispatched a cease and desist letter" on behalf of Jayde and Playboy.

She added, "I cannot wait to show off my new assets, I'm very excited."

And once her second Playboy shoot is done, the reality star has vowed to again go under the knife in order to get even larger breasts saying, "I would like to get my breasts re-done because I couldn't get them the size I wanted because they couldn't fit."

So, what does husband Spencer think of all the fuss about her new, plastic look "My miracle I live with? I live in a miracle, life couldn't be better." Added Heidi: "It is who you are on the inside that really matters, this is just the shell at the end of the day."

Heidi Montag in Playboy: Coming Soon (Again)!

We've already seen Heidi Montag in Playboy, but that was pre-eyebrow lift, nose job revision, fat injections in cheeks, lips and chin reduction, ears pinned back, breast augmentation revision; liposuction on her neck, waist, hips and thighs, and buttock augmentation.

According to insiders, the reality star has been offered $500,000 to debut her brand-new DD boobs in a photo shoot. "Heidi's especially happy about her breast implants," a friend explains, adding that the reality star "could use the money." Album sales not panning out, eh?

Moreover, "she's finally ready to pose topless," unlike last year's quasi-revealing spread, and on that subject "she is already negotiating with the magazine."

Here's a glimpse of what we have to look forward to ... again:

Heidi Montag: Playboy Part 2 In The Works?

Heidi Montag isn’t done showing off her newly enhanced assets. The reality-turned-surgical star is currently in talks with Playboy for a deal that could earn her more than a million dollars.

“Heidi would love to do another (Playboy) cover,” said a source who’s exceedingly close to the couple.

Montag’s first Playboy pose, back in September, was conservative by some standards, but part deux stands to be a little more risqué.

“She is currently speaking with (Playboy photographer) Matthew Rolston (about) a steamy, soapy, shower concept showing her boobs through the shower door,” said the source. “The figure being discussed for the exclusive is in the seven figures.”

“She could use the money, and she’s finally ready to pose topless, so she is negotiating with the magazine,” according to one of Montag’s friends, who spoke to In Touch Weekly.

Jayde: Audrina Would Pose Nude & Heidi Should Be a Playmate

Before hitting the big time on MTV’s “The Hills”, Audrina Patridge (unsuccessfully) applied to be a Playboy playmate, but fellow reality star and 2008’s Playmate of the Year Jayde Nicole thinks Patridge should give posing nude for the men's mag another shot.

“Audrina back in the day, before she was on The Hills, applied to be a Playmate, so I'm sure she would probably do it,” Nicole told Tarts at last week’s launch of the Samsung Behold 11 in Hollywood. “She didn't get it, but I'm sure she would get it now!”

But even though Miss Nicole thinks Playboy would certainly want Patridge in their pages, she thinks there is another hottie on “The Hills” that is much more deserving of the prestigious Playmate title.

“Heidi would be the best Playmate. I've seen her pictures and they were really really pretty, and really hot, so she would definitely make a great Playmate,” Nicole explained. “And she's always very positive and pleasant and sweet and you do have to be like that to be a Playmate so I think she would be the one.”

And for those of you who thought Miss Nicole had it made getting paid the big bucks to sit around and do nothing but party and fight, fame has its downside.

“It's a little traumatizing to be honest. I'm not used to it at all, I'm from a really tiny town, and I'm used to just waking up and going out in my pajamas in town, with no makeup or hair and no one takes your picture,” she said. “Now I go out looking like a bum and there's people taking pictures of me eating breakfast and I'm like, "please don't do that!" I look gross and I'm trying to eat but of course it comes with the territory of the job.”

Heidi and Spencer Pratt: LAX PDA Lovin’ Pair

Playing it up for the paparazzi, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were up to their usual self promotion at LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Sunday (November 15).

Being dropped off to catch an outbound flight, the “Hills” co-star couple proudly showed off their new book “How to be Famous” as they kissed one another while passing through the security checkpoint.

With their new book due out on November 16th, Heidi and Spencer joked with Playboy of their 2010 plans, “We’re going to adopt an African baby, date Vince Vaughn, shave our heads, pretend Spencer is trapped in a balloon and have octuplets.”

The “Hills” lovers also chatted about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s well-plotted press power, as Heidi told, “Well, we wouldn’t want to piss them off. She might steal Spencer—you know, because she steals people’s husbands! But seriously, we’d love to sit down and discuss fame with them. Consider this your formal invitation, Brangelina. Let’s hang out sometime. We’ll be SpeidiLina!”

Heidi, Spencer "to Adopt an African Baby"

From being trapped in the jungle to sparring with Al Roker, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have had quite a year. Their goal for 2010?

"We're going to adopt an African baby, date Vince Vaughn, shave our heads, pretend Spencer is trapped in a balloon and have octuplets," they joke in a joint interview with Playboy.com while promoting their new book, How to Be Famous (out Nov. 16).

Asked why they wrote the book, "They always say, "Write what you know," and we know how to be famous," the two say.

In the book, they praise Us Weekly cover stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie for being able to manipulate the press to their advantage. They don't mean that in a bad way, either.

"Well, we wouldn't want to piss them off. She might steal Spencer—you know, because she steals people's husbands!" Montag says. "But seriously, we'd love to sit down and discuss fame with them. Consider this your formal invitation, Brangelina. Let's hang out sometime. We'll be SpeidiLina!"

Heidi Gets Frisky at Playboy Fete

With all that talk about babies and puppies and "wifely duties," Spenver and Heidi almost made us forget about Mrs. Pratt's September Playboy cover (and steamy, TMI interview). But over the weekend, Heidi reverted back to her party girl ways, celebrating the global launch of Stander by joining some of Hef's honeys for a sexy pole dance at the Mansion!

What do you think about Heidi's behavior at the Playboy Mansion?
	Appropriate for the Playboy Mansion.
	Appropriate for anywhere!
	Innappropriate for a "Christian" wife, such as Heidi.
	Innappropriate for anyone!

In my opinion, she looks like a drunk mess. Pull it together Heidi, you are married now. Don't you have any respect left for yourself? You are a disgrace to Christianity and women everywhere. Barf.
