Family of Kendra Wilkinson: Sex Tape, Schmex Tape!


Not only does a Kendra Wilkinson sex tape exists, but we’ve seen naked photos from it. Sort of hot stuff!

But while the Internet is buzzing over this video and horny men around the world count down the days until its early June release, those closest to Kendra couldn’t care less.

Said Kendra’s father-in-law about the development: “I will always stand by Hank and Kendra. Kendra is a great mom. You know, she’s awesome and she loves her family and that’s all that matters.”

Also on Wilkinson’s side? Kendra’s mother, Patty, and brother, Collin.

“No one wants their daughter or sister to be seen like that, but they don’t fault Kendra for things she’s done in the past. They understand that everyone makes mistakes,” an insider told OK! Weekly. “They just see this whole sex tape thing as someone’s idea of a way to make money now that Kendra is so famous. Honestly, they aren’t surprised.”

Nor should they be. Kendra herself is the one who wants to make money off it.

Not surprisingly, a pair of women that have made a living off getting naked are also behind Kendra. Said a source of Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt:

“Holly’s been emailing and texting her to keep her head up. Bridget’s been doing the same. She knows firsthand that the past can come back to haunt you. Neither of them are making any judgments. They’re like sisters. They support each other.”

Sort of like how Kendra’s ex-boyfriend, Justin, supports her in the video, up against a wall and… nevermind.

Jaimee Grubbs Denies Fame Whore Status


Aptly-named fame whore Jaimee Grubbs says Rachel Uchitel has a point about some Tiger Woods mistresses using the sordid scandal for their own benefit.

She’s not one of ‘em, though … she somehow claims with a straight face.

On Friday, Uchitel said a lot of the girls have been trying to sell videos and appear in celebrity boxing matches. She singled out Joslyn James in particular.

Jaimee Grubbs, mistress #2, denies she’s done anything of the sort.

Tiger

“I don’t deny Rachel’s quote that some of the girls involved with Tiger are doing it for the purpose of fame and spotlight,” she says. “However, I can only speak for myself and I’m pretty sure I didn’t try to gain fame by having half the world hating me.”

Not sure half covers it, Jaimee, and shall we go over the things you’ve done to make news since leaking the infamous Tiger Woods voicemail in December?

  • Taken part in Howard Stern’s Tiger mistress pageant
  • Leaked supposed Tiger Woods text messages
  • Given numerous interviews about the fling
  • Posed nearly naked for Ralph magazine

Right, totally keeping on the DL, Jaimee. Like the forthcoming Rachel Uchitel nude spread in Playboy, we’re all good with fame-whoring, just don’t deny it.

Dancing with the Stars: Handicapping the Final Four


Just four couples remain, and just one episode tonight before the 10th season finale and presentation of the cherished Mirror Ball trophy next week.

It’s crunch time on Dancing with the Stars. Below, we break down the four pairs left standing and handicap their odds of bringing home the glory …

Chad Ochocinco & Cheryl Burke
Why they’ll win: Because #85 doesn’t back down from any challenge, and he and Cheryl have formed one of the best partnerships in recent years. They’ve been consistent and significantly better than most of the field so far.
Why they won’t: They get 7s and 8s. Nicole and Evan get 9s and 10s. If Chad and Cheryl advanced to the finals this week, it would be a surprise.
Odds: 25-1

Erin Andrews & Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Why they’ll win: Fan support. Chemistry. Regardless of whether Maksim Chmerkovskiy is seeing Erin Andrews nude, there is heat on the dance floor. Not just as gimmicks, either. Erin has thrived in Maks’ challenging routines.
Why they won’t: You need to be brilliant, not just very good; Judges dock points for their sexy routines; Good looks could also work against them.
Odds: 12-1

Cheryl and ChadErin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy Image

Evan Lysacek & Anna Trebunskaya
Why they’ll win: They put up one of two perfect scores this season, and he’s Nicole’s top competitor in terms of technical proficiency, skill and agility. If he has a great week, and/or her fans don’t vote en masse, he could pull an upset.
Why they won’t: Likely needs a 30. That’s a tall order. Have had more slip-ups and shown more flaws, albeit relatively few, than Nicole and Derek.
Odds: 4-1

Nicole Scherzinger & Derek Hough
Why they’ll win: She’s the most talented, already kind of a professional dancer and a perfectionist. The ladies love Derek, and don’t dislike the Pussycat Doll.
Why they won’t: No reason.
Odds: 6:5

If Adam Lambert Had You: Photos from the Official Music Video


Adam Lambert is preparing to go platinum again.

Following the international success of “Whataya Want From Me,” Lambert will soon release a new music video on the world.

Based on the following stills from “If I Had You,” it will be classic Adam all the way: space boots, spiked hair, eye make-up, lots of smoke. Everything about this unique artists we know and love.

Dr. Conrad Murray: What a Life Saver!


Dr. Conrad Murray, the embattled former physician of Michael Jackson, gets a lot of press, most of it terrible. This time, though, we gotta give the doctor his due.

He totally saved the day after he helped stabilize a 23-year-old mother who fell unconscious on a US Airways jet en route from Houston to Phoenix Saturday.

The doctor stabilized the young woman by using the airplane’s emergency kit to set up an IV and monitored her until the plane diverted to Albuquerque, N.M.

We can’t imagine he reassured her when he said “You probably know me, I was Michael Jackson’s doctor,” but regardless, Dr. Conrad Murray got the job done.

Ironically, Murray was on his way to meet with his lawyers to plan a defense against involuntary manslaughter charges in the Michael Jackson case at the time.

He has rejected any talk of a plea deal, making a trial likely.

.500: Hey, 1-for-2 isn’t terrible… in baseball.

The woman, who was traveling with her 11 month old baby, was met at the gate by paramedics and taken to a hospital. It is believed she has recovered fully.

She responded by saying, “Thank you so much. Thank you for helping me even without knowing me.” A rep for Murray’s legal team, Miranda Sevcik, said:

“We’re not surprised. [Dr. Conrad Murray] a good doctor, we’ve always said he was a good doctor, and that’s what good doctors do is save people’s lives.”

Murray, 57, was charged in February with a felony count of involuntary manslaughter in MJ’s June 2009 death. He has pleaded not guilty, and is free on bail.

He plans to argue that Michael Jackson killed himself with Propofol, with which Murray had been treating him for insomnia, while the doc was out of the room.

Lindsay Lohan Lives in a World of Denial


If you only watched the video interview with Lindsay Lohan below (and she looks relatively lucid, don’t get us wrong), you’d think things couldn’t be finer for her.

Even though she’s been in New York and now Cannes to introduce her kinky new role, Lohan says she’s “in compliance more than ever” with her traffic school.

That’s funny in itself, as you’re either in compliance or you’re not … there is no more or less. She has to complete one DUI education class a week for 13 weeks.

She’s finished nine, four shy of the amount required prior to her progress hearing Thursday. In other words, she’s living in denial … and may soon be living in jail.

The no-nonsense judge has made it clear that if she is in violation of her probation, jail is on the table, as is an arrest warrant if she doesn’t show up for court.

It’s all good for Lindsay, though, blaming celebrity gossip sites for her problems (when she plays right into their hands) being generally blase about DUI stuff:

Sandra Diaz-Twine Wins Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains


After proving that nice guys really do finish last, Survivor capped what many consider to be its greatest season ever by crowining its first two-time champion last night.

In a tense finale, Sandra Diaz-Twine defeated fellow villains Russell Hantz and Parvati Shallow to take hom the coveted crown (and million-dollar grand prize, of course).

As usual, fans can now debate whether the best player actual won the game. Did Sandra truly outwit and outplay Russell, who many believe took the wrong pair to the finale with him? Or was Parvati the most deserving finalist, considering every single contestant was after her from day one?

Survivor Finalists

At the reunion, Sandra and Russell went verbal spat for verbal spat. The latter referred to the former as ”maybe the worst physical player to ever play the show,” while Sandra pointed to Hantz’s family and said they are “the only people that like you.”

That claim was quickly shot down, though, when the fans awaraded Russell $100,000 as their favorite.

The most disappointing aspect of the finale? Jeff Probst simply walked in from backstage. No helicopter, no jet ski, not even a horse-drawn carriage. What a letdown to loyal Survivor viewers! We expect Probst to raise the ridiculous, cheesy ante each year with his final-vote entrances.

Still, this was an incredible season of the show. Do you think the right person won it?

Liam Hemsworth Defends Miley Cyrus


It’s been a controversial month for Miley Cyrus.

First, the singer released the official musical video for “Can’t Be Tamed,” sending a clear message to anyone that viewed it: So long, Hannah Montana!

Then, another video landed the singer in hot water: she was filmed grinding and bumping with movie producer Adam Shankman.

Through it all, though, Liam Hemsworth has remained by her side. The Australian actor told Hollywood Life that “Can’t Be Tamed” is a “great” video and:

“Everyone gets criticism, it’s kind of what comes with this job… everybody’s trying to bring you down. She’s got a good head on her shoulders.”

Just Strolling

As for his relationship with Miley, Liam added:

“We get along great, she’s a great girl. We work great together.”

Apparently, Liam’s vocabulary is as varied as his girlfriend’s wardrobe choices. Still, these two do appear to be a stable couple and we can’t knock Hemsworth for standing by his gal.

Christina Aguilera Helps in Haiti


Is she copying Lady Gaga, or is it the other way around?

While fans and critics engage in this silly debate, Christina Aguilera is focusing on more important things:

The singer, and husband Jordan Bratman, visited two schools in Haiti last week, a country still ravaged by a recent earthquake. They met with children receiving food and aid there, as the singer is the World Food Program’s new Ambassador Against Hunger.

Christina served meals of rice and beans to the children, discussed the food/supply response with officials and learned about the nation’s ongoing recovery effort. She said:

“I was so moved by the devastation in Haiti but also by the spirit of its people. The children have such joy and are eager to learn despite the destruction around them. The children deserve a chance, and I want to make sure they get a chance.”

In equally important Aguilera news: the artist is naked on the cover of GQ!
