These are not the photos we’re referring to. Those are on Radar
Radar Online has photos of Kendra Wilkinson back when she was stripping and wanted to document how she looked before and after she splurged on some new boobs. The pertinent parts are blurred, but the photos are remarkable not because of her new rack but because of how trashy she looked. Her makeup and penciled-in eyebrows are awful and she’s obviously had a nose job since those photos were taken. I’m sure Kendra will complain that someone sold the pictures without her knowledge while she cashes the check and buys a new fall wardrobe. We can’t post the photos here, but you can see them all on Radar Online. Her face! The clown makeup is killing me.

RadarOnline.com has exclusively obtained the first post-op photos of the reality star, showing off her brand new breasts to a willing photographer.

The photos also reveal Kendra with a nose that looks very different from the way it appears now.

According to a well-placed source, Kendra—who was working as a stripper in her hometown of San Diego—couldn’t wait to show off her new breast implants. At the time, she was dating her long-time boyfriend Justin Frye, who also appears in Kendra’s now infamous sex tape.

She had these photos taken to document her transformation but didn’t realize that they would also serve as the “before” shots for her nose!

In the never-before-seen photos, Kendra poses nude for the camera, throwing her arms up behind her head, smiling seductively for the camera, even showing off the hospital bra she had to wear because her breasts were so new.

So what about her nose? There seems no doubt that she had something done to change its appearance.

I don’t want to sound mean, but she looks better with her new nose. She could still tone down her makeup now for sure, but it’s a definite improvement from how she used to look. What is there than Kendra won’t share? On one hand she’s a mom and reality star on the other she’s a former stripper, former drug addict and Playmate and she doesn’t shy away from reminding people about it. As long as we’re talking about her and she’s making money from it, she’s happy. Is that admirable, clueless or a little of both?

Kendra Wilkinson has lost those pesky few baby weight pounds that she’s talked incessantly about for months, and she’ll tell you all about that too. The last time we reported on Kendra she was saying she would “100% have liposuction” after having a second baby she’s planning for with her husband, Hank Baskett. She also said “being fit and sexy is definitely important to me, and it’s what makes me happy” Kendra should be overjoyed, because she looks great. She blogged a photo of herself in a bikini lounging on the deck of her rooftop suite at the W Hotel in Miami with a friend. Her husband sent her there for a vacation before their reality show starts filming again.

On her website Friday, Kendra Wilkinson shows off photos from her recent trip to Miami.

She writes that her “amazing” husband Hank Baskett sent her down south for a few days.

“I definitely needed it!!!!” she writes. “We had the best time. We did a lot of wining and dining lolol.”

On Sunday night, she and her friends, Eddie and Brittany, dined at Hakkasan, a fancy Chinese restaurant at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach before hitting the hotel’s LIV nightclub.

“So much fun!” she said.

On Monday, the 25-year-old reality star — who’s dropped most of the 50-plus pounds she gained last year while pregnant — slipped into a bikini and relaxed while her pals went parasailing.

The trio then enjoyed “another great night out on the town!”
“It was a busy yet relaxing trip!!” said the mother of 8-month-old son Hank IV. “No matter how much fun I have, I’m always happy to go home to my family.”

In our last story on Kendra, I said it was naive and depressing to try and derive happiness from a “sexy” body, but it’s not like Kendra is a very deep person. We had a great comment on that story from SarahS, who wrote “She has gotten rich and famous from her body, and been rewarded with attention and money solely for how it looks. For her to equate her physical appearance to her happiness makes sense to me. Its sad.” That’s true, and now that she’s shed that last bit of weight she can show it off, get pregnant with another baby, rinse and repeat. (To borrow one of Kaiser’s phrases.) I don’t dislike Kendra exactly, I just find her disingenuous and predictable. She’s fooling herself in a way too, especially when you consider how she “told all” about her troubled past but didn’t seem to be affected by it at all. As long as Kendra is “fit and sexy,” she’s happy, so maybe I’m imposing my standards on someone who’s kind of oblivious to the things that would bother the rest of us. She’s famous for being one of three women to live with Hugh Hefner at the same time, posing nude and putting out a sex tape so it’s not like she’s ashamed of much. She’s a nice person, though, and she deserves to be happy. She obviously is.

This week’s Star Magazine has a new interview with reality star Kendra Wilkinson, who is talking about her body after baby yet again. Kendra lets us know that she wants to have another baby within the next year with her husband, football player Hank Baskett, and after that she’s going to get liposuction to help her lose the post-baby flab. She must have the money now that she’s cashed in from that sex tape she claims she was humiliated by:

“It was fun to see my body transform during my first pregnancy… but I’m dieting all the time now and exercising more than ever, yet I can’t get my body to where it used to be.

“Being fit and sexy is definitely important to me, and it’s what makes me happy…

“Happy a 91/2-lb baby stretched me out so much, I have all this loose skin that just won’t go away.

“Initially my motivation to get back into shape was for the photo shoots I had agreed to do before gaining weight in my pregnancy. But then I had a C-section, which changed everything and put a bump in the road to my weight loss.

“I didn’t get liposuction after Hank [Jr], because I knew I wanted more babies… But I will 100 percent have lipo after my second baby, because until then, I know I will never be satisfied looking in the mirror…

“We’re not trying to get pregnant just yet, because we’re too busy loving the first one right now… But it will definitely be sooner rather than later, because I want to be pregnant within the next year.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, August 30, 2010]

I know that fat cells never go away and that even after you lose weight you still have the same number of cells, they just shrink in size. Only liposuction can reduce the number of fat cells, but it’s also very risky and in the time it takes to recover from surgery you could have made great gains in losing the weight and toning up at the gym, especially someone like Kendra who is just 25 and isn’t very far from their goal. In that interview she admitted that she has been so busy trying to sort out the house after a recent move to Philadelphia that she hasn’t been able to work out. That doesn’t really jibe with what she said about how she’s exercising more than ever.

It’s sad to hear Kendra say “Being fit and sexy is definitely important to me, and it’s what makes me happy.” Happiness comes from within, but I understand that you feel better when you’re healthy and at an ideal weight. It just sounds so naive and depressing to think that happiness is just a few pounds or inches away, and so many people, women especially, fall into that trap. I’ve been there and it sucks. There are other things dragging you down other than the number on the scale or in the back of your damn jeans. It’s not your weight and no amount of dieting, plastic surgery or exercise is going to bring you happiness. We’re always searching for that thing that going to make us fulfilled and happy and that only comes when we learn to slow down and enjoy life just as it is now, right where we are now. See what I did there? I got all philosophical over some dumb reality star saying she wanted lipo so she could be sexy. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, especially when we’re dealing with someone as shallow as Kendra. Maybe being fit and sexy really is all she needs to be happy.

Kendra Wilkinson and her husband Hank are on the cover of Life & Style this week with a supposed story about how he got up close and personal with some professionals at a strip club. I question this report in light of the fact that Kendra’s book is out this week. It’s way too convenient for her to get a cover with a mild cheating scandal. This story normally wouldn’t even rate a sidebar on a cover, but Life & Style is running it front and center. The teaser article they sent us seems to reveal that there’s not much to this other than innuendo and the fact that Hank went to strip clubs twice while he was married.

Life & Style reveals exclusive details of Hank’s multiple nights out at strip clubs – once while Kendra was eight months pregnant

Life & Style can exclusively reveal that since learning about the existence of Kendra Wilkinson’s sex tape, her husband Hank Baskett has visited at least two strip clubs — once while his wife was eight months pregnant. An acquaintance of Hank’s, Carl Miller, tells Life & Style he accompanied Hank to Rick’s Cabaret in Houston on Nov. 28 and then to the King of Diamonds Gentleman’s Club in Miami in early February. Their first raunchy night out came on the eve of the Indianapolis Colts’ 35-27 victory against the Houston Texans.

“Hank went to the private VIP room with two girls,” Carl, Hank’s acquaintance, tells Life & Style. “Everyone knows what goes on in those rooms — I don’t need to spell out what happened.”

Kendra was at home and ready to pop during Hank’s first indiscretion, but his second dalliance happened right under her nose while in Miami for the Super Bowl in February. While Kendra was busy hosting a bash at Passion nightclub in the Hard Rock Hotel and doing a bikini photo shoot, Life & Style has learned that Hank went to a Diddy-sponsored party at the King of Diamonds Gentleman’s Club that weekend. While his rep denies that Hank attended the strip-club soiree, others insist he was there. One King of Diamonds dancer, Dolce, says Hank didn’t mind the amenities (including more than 40 VIP rooms) at what’s touted as the “world’s biggest strip club.”

“It was real insane,” Dolce, King of Diamonds dancer, tells Life & Style. “There were like 400 girls up in here. And Hank was here for sure.”

“We had girls here from out of town who came specifically for that weekend because they knew they’d make bank,” a second King of Diamonds performer tells Life & Style. “You put some of these girls in that situation, and what do you think is going to happen? It’s not supposed to happen up in here — if they catch you, they’ll kick you out — but that’s what private VIP rooms are for.”

“Hank loves strippers and strip clubs,” Carl Miller tells Life & Style. “And he doesn’t see anything wrong with it.”

[From Life & Style, received via e-mail]

I would not want my husband going to strip clubs or getting lap dances, and if I found out about it we would have a problem. It’s flirting with danger, but it’s not as bad as cheating and some guys see it as blowing off steam. We don’t know what happened in the VIP room with the two strippers although it looks bad for Hank. I don’t watch Kendra’s reality show, but these two seem solid and they’ve weathered the whole “sex tape” storm (that Kendra cashed in on and then tried to act embarrassed about). Two visits to strip clubs when one is a big party potentially isn’t that big of a deal. Hank is a professional athlete and his buddies are probably bugging him to go to strip clubs all the time. Kendra worked as a stripper, though and she knows what goes on. She’ll probably talk to Hank and he’ll say it was nothing and they’ll work it out.

Kendra is busily promoting her book, Sliding into Home. She explained on The Today Show yesterday (video below) that she used the baseball metaphor because she finally felt like she was “home” after her rough past. MSNBC has an excerpt from the book in which Kendra explains that she fell for Hugh Hefner because he made her feel good about herself and gave her opportunities. That excerpt doesn’t include the part where she describes her first sex session with Hef and a line of other willing bunnies, as covered in Star Magazine last week. Kathy Lee mentioned on the Today Show that the book includes “graphic detail” of life at the mansion, and I’ll pick it up and cover it here if there are any more salacious scenes.

Is there anything Kendra Wilkinson won’t do for money? She stripped for a living then moved in with octogenarian Playboy patriarch Hugh Hefner at the age of 18. She got married to a sports star, had a baby, and made a reality show so we could all revel in the details of her goofy life. She released a sex tape and then tried to act like she was upset that it was out there. She was upset that people realized that she was the one cashing in for a $680,000 initial payment plus 50% of sales.

Kendra, 25, now has a new biography coming out on Monday called Sliding into Home. Some of the tabloids have excerpts this week and it looks like an interesting read. The former Playmate and stripper has led a colorful life so far, but she seems to have a kind of emotional detachment from her past, as if she hasn’t really come to grips with it yet. She did some crazy and self-destructive things and she relates them with a sort of shrug as if she’s talking about someone else’s life, not her own. This is just the impression I got from the excerpts so far and what little I know of her personality.

Here are some excerpts, thanks to People and Star magazine.

On drugs, cutting herself, overdosing and ending up in a mental institution
The coke, weed, acid, crystal meth, alcohol and whatever pills I could get my hands on kept my mind in a haze. My mom was very worried. I felt terrible putting her through so much, but that didn’t stop me…

I’d take scissors and jab them into my arm, slicing until a stream of blood ran down to my hand. One day I went through the medicine cabinet and took everything I could find. My mom and grandmother rushed me to the hospital. The doctors made me drink pure charcoal….

For two weeks I stayed there [in a mental institution]. I felt like a crazy person. I got into a fight and they put me in one of those white rooms with rubber walls.

I heard somewhere that you could overdose on toothpaste, so one night I tried to eat an entire tube. Nothing can describe my pain during that time more than the fact that I tried to overdose on toothpaste….

On becoming a stripper after she quit doing drugs
I was feeling sexy because of the attention I was getting [for modeling at car shows]. I was eighteen. I thought, “I shoule be a stripper.”

For the first time in my life I felt sexy and powerful. I was the top earner in that club. But I thought I’d do even better if I were bigger. I worked for two straight nights to collect my boob job money and had them done. I had my dream boobs and business was good!

On having sex with Hugh Hefner for the first time
One of the girls asked me if I wanted to go upstairs to Hef’s room. In my head I could hear my mom’s voice: ‘You know they have orgies there.’ I said “Okay, if I have to.” It seemed like every other girl was going, and if I didn’t it would be weird.

One by one, each girl hopped on Hef and had sex with him… for about a minute. I studied their every move. Then it was my turn… it was very weird.

I wasn’t thinking about how much older Hef was – all the body parts worked the same. I wanted to be there.

On deciding to be Hef’s girlfriend
The next morning Hef came into my room to see how I was doing. Hef never went into the guesthouse. “Hello, my darlin’” he said. I felt special, loved and pretty. Isn’t that all a girl really wants out of a boyfriend?…

There was a world outside San Diego that I needed to explore – and I felt like Hef was the guy who would help me do that. Moving into the mansion when I was 18 felt like a spiritual event.

[Most text from People, print edition, July 12, 2010. More graphic details of sex with Hef from Star Magazine]

Star has more, including the detail that Kendra lost her virginity at 13. She writes that she called up a male friend of hers to do the deed and that his mom “dropped him off a boy and picked him up a few hours later a man.” Eyeroll! She also had a sexual relationship with a female classmate in high school. I’m interested to see if the rumors that Kendra and Bridget regularly got it in the mansion on are true.

Kendra has a very simplistic writing style that doesn’t seem to reveal much insight into her troubled past. I can’t hate on her, though. She cleaned up her act, changed her life and is now cashing in with her minor celebrity status. For all the do-nothing reality stars that are out there, Kendra is one of the least annoying and most entertaining. That’s really saying something.

Update: I can’t believe I reported this and just glossed over the part about all the nubile young ladies hopping on and off Hef’s elderly dick. This part seemed kind of obvious to me because I just assumed that’s what happened and had already read a similar account from a former Playmate. In fact Kendra pretty much confirmed what’s already been said. You can read all about it here.

Kendra Wilkinson did an interview with Ryan Seacrest yesterday in which she talked about the sex tape and claimed it was her first interview on the subject. That’s not true, because she already granted a tearful interview about it two weeks ago, the one in which she weakly told people not to “press play.” (After they bought it, I guess.) With Ryan, Kendra is very vague when asked why the tape is coming out now. She doesn’t directly answer his question, which she could have done if it was something her co-star decided to come out with. She just says that she made it when she was young and it’s a shame it’s coming out now that she has her life together. She cries and gets upset, but it seems fake to me, like she’s upset that she got called out for making a bundle on her back. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I find it laughable how she’s claiming now that she’s so upset about a tape that couldn’t have been released without her sign off.

Kendra got a whopping $680,000 advance on the sex tape, along with making 50% of sales. That’s going to a huge amount considering that the distributor, high end adult entertainment company Vivid, claims that the tape had more advance sales than any in their history.

In her interview with Ryan, Kendra addresses the rumors that the sex tape has hurt her marriage to Hank. She says that it brought them closer together as they fought this battle together. I’m sure the money didn’t hurt, either.

“The tape has definitely brought Hank and I closer together, made us more of a team, like, ‘Let’s put our vest on, let’s get out there, let’s fight!’ ” the E! star said in an exclusive sit-down with E! News’ Ryan Seacrest, in which they discussed the sex tape, made with an ex-boyfriend when Kendra was 18, that reared its ugly head recently.

The whole debacle has been “extremely embarrassing” for the 24-year-old, who said that she warned NFL-player hubby Hank Baskett that the tape existed before they got married because she “didn’t want it to just come out and smack us in the face.”

But ultimately, “it’s going to make us better people, strong people,” she said.

“Now that this happened, it hurts, but I know it’s going to make me and Hank better parents,” Kendra said. “It’s really going to make us teach our child what’s right and wrong in this world, what’s good and evil…We’re going to make sure our son is raised with a good head on his shoulders, a person that has morals, that treats women with respect.”

As opposed to whoever leaked the tape to cash in on her celebrity status, perhaps.

“I’m a very open person, very honest about my life, but a sex tape is definitely not what I wanted in my life,” she said. “I made love to my boyfriend at the time, we just happened to videotape it. It wasn’t for anybody else’s eyes to see but ours.

“I was going to marry him, we were going to be together forever. And I didn’t know I was going to be famous—It was something that we did, and it was for our eyes only.”

“I didn’t do it out of fame, I didn’t do it for money, I did it because I was in love with him,” she added. “It just sucks. It’s really embarrassing.”

Kendra said that, even though she was a “crazy party girl throughout those Playboy Mansion years,” what she always wanted was to be a wife and mom.

“That was my dream, it’s always been my dream—and I’m here now. I’m here where I want to be, the happiest person I’ve ever been, and it just so happens my past has to haunt me now.”

In order to drive her point home, Kendra is also on the cover of US Weekly this week. The cover promises an exclusive with Kendra on “My Sex Tape Nightmare.” I get it. Kendra wants to earn millions off her sex tape but maintain her image as this sweet reformed kind of ditsy mom so she can go on making her reality show. I know a lot of you, including Kaiser, really like her and want to give her the benefit of the doubt. She could have easily legally fought the release of this tape, but she didn’t. Instead she cashed in and now she’s crying about her image. If she really cared about it she would have ensured that the tape never saw the light of day.

When I was reading through CB’s earlier post about Kendra, I noticed that CB accidentally used my real name, and she confused me with Kendra. What the hell…? Do you know how different I am from Kendra? Like apples and barely-functioning blogger oranges. Anyway, there’s more info about Kendra and the sex tape, and there’s even a new interview! In the cold transcript of the interview with E! (maybe?), Kendra seems kind of drama-queen. But in the video, I liked her statement more. She’s not pulling her hair out over the video, she just wishes it wasn’t coming out now:

Kendra Wilkinson hopes that people have the heart to “not press play” on her sex tape so that they can view her as a mom, not a porn star, she says in a sneak preview her E! show’s season finale.

Kendra’s sex tape was released Wednesday, along with an NSFW clip that can be seen for free on Vivid Entertainment’s website. It features her at 18 dancing nude and having sex with her high school boyfriend, Justin Frye, who recently sold the footage.

“I was just a normal girl living a normal life in San Diego, California, with my boyfriend who I was going to eventually marry,” Kendra said. “Of course we had sex like every couple does and every now and then we would videotape it. There’s a lot of couples who do that. At that time I wasn’t a celebrity. I didn’t even know I was going to become a celebrity.”

Now 24, Kendra is married to Hank Baskett and they have a baby son. She said she is angry at her ex for disrupting her family.

“It broke my heart because how can you do that when I have a baby?” she said. “I have a kid. I have a husband. It just sucks.”

Hank is standing by his wife as her sex tape goes public.

“He’s doing a good job because he’s understanding,” she said. “He’s like, ‘Kendra, we just have to hold our heads high because, yeah, we’re going to get attacked, but we can’t run. We have to hold hands and walk through this and face this fact.’ It’s going to be really hard. It’s going to probably be the hardest time of our lives.”

[From Huffington Post]

I know it sounds weird because I bash so many celebrities, but I’ve grown to like Kendra. I’ve watched a few episodes of her E! show, and she’s kind-of funny and cool. I’m not saying she’s a rocket scientist or anything, but she’s smarter than people give her credit for, and I do think she has a good heart. With so many of these faux-celebrities, I feel like they try to get attention by bashing other people (coughParisHiltonSpiedicough), but I like that Kendra is pretty much doing her own thing, and never really says anything about anyone else. My point? I do think she has genuine angst over this sex tape situation, and it’s not all about the money. She really hoped that part of her life was over. Just my opinion.

We haven’t covered much of the breaking news about the Kendra Wilkinson sex tape because it frankly skeeves us out. Kaiser likes Kendra and wants to think that she’s telling the truth when she claims that she doesn’t want to release the tape at this point. We’ve heard that Kendra tried shopping it around through a broker a couple of years ago, but that was before she had a baby and a reality show and it’s possible she genuinely tried to block it now. I say that’s possible, but it’s not what I personally believe. I think Kendra knew exactly what she was doing by putting this out there and that she both stands to make a lot of money and hopes this will raise her profile so that she can continue to capitalize on her minor stardom.

Kendra needs to be on the Kardashian reality star level. She’s not quite there yet, but this could help her. Like Kim Kardashian’s sex tape with Ray-J, this one has been a big seller for Vivid. Kendra has already surpassed total sales of the Kardashian tape with just pre-sales. I guess the question is whether she’ll also earn more tabloid covers than all those sisters. She needs some drama in order to do that and this whole “sex tape scandal” is right up there.

Radar claims that Kendra got a whopping $680,000 for the tape from the distributor, Vivid, and that she’ll make a whole 50% of sales.

Despite her legal battle, Kendra’s sex tape is due out Wednesday, and pre-orders are the highest in the history of porn company Vivid Entertainment, Radaronline.com reports.

“Kendra has a huge fan base, and we’ve been literally besieged with requests to release this movie sooner rather than later,” Vivid’s Steven Hirsch told Radar. The company is releasing the tape a week early by popular demand and will show a preview clip on its website.

Also according to Radar, Kendra has already enjoyed a huge payday for the sex tape. Her first secret paycheck was for $680,000, and she stands to collect 50 percent of all sales.

The tapes feature an 18-year-old Kendra and her ex-boyfriend Stephen Frye in explicit bedroom scenes, and Kendra is with a woman in one. Now 24, Kendra is married to Hank Baskett and they have a baby boy.

Hank’s parents are deeply religious, and Kendra had to face them at a charity golf event over the weekend.

[From Radar via The Huffington Post]

The article goes on to quote a story from Life & Style which details an appearance Kendra made for a charity Hank’s dad works for. They say that on the surface Kendra got along well with Hank’s parents but that she seemed like she was trying to avoid them that weekend.

There’s a VERY NSFW preview of the tape along with some stills on Drunken Stepfather’s site. Again NSFW or under 18. The first thing I noticed when viewing this is that Kendra had her pre-boob job boobs and they look much better. She was also just 18 years old when she made this and she looks so damn young to me.

I’ve watched some snippets of Kendra’s show and she once complained about her husband’s career in the NFL, saying that NFL stood for “Not For Long.” In her way, maybe she thinks she’s trying to secure a future for her family. I wonder if she will still think it was worth it once her son is old enough to Google.

UPDATE FROM KAISER: I just wanted to point out that CB accidentally used my real name in this post, and she confused me with Kendra!!!! WTF?!?

Life & Style’s cover story this week is all about how Kendra Wilkinson’s sex tape is going to destroy her marriage, so she wants another baby to save the marriage. Didn’t she just give birth? How old is her kid? Hold up, let me check… she gave birth to baby Hank the IV on December 10. So the kid is a little more than six months old. While I personally think Kendra should wait a bit to get pregnant again, I have to admit it probably isn’t beyond the realm of possibility that Kendra’s solution to whatever marriage problem is to get pregnant again. Here’s more:

Since news broke of Kendra Wilkinson’s salacious sex-tape, her picture-perfect life has been collapsing around her. Now, spotted for the first time since the tape surfaced, Life & Style has exclusively obtained the first photos of Kendra and her family out together. On May 13, Kendra and Hank took their six-month-old son, Hank IV, for a stroll in the park in Palm Springs, Calif. for some quality family time.

“They managed to put aside their differences for the sake of their child,” an onlooker tells Life & Style. “There was some tension, but they managed to get over their problems and focused on the baby.”

As Kendra Wilkinson struggles to hold together her marriage to pro football player Hank Baskett, she’ll do whatever it takes to put the shocking sex-tape scandal behind her — including having another child with her husband. An insider reveals exclusively to Life & Style, “They’ve been trying for a second child for a while. And Kendra hopes it will happen sooner rather than later.”

“Kendra knows she upset Hank over all this sex-tape stuff, and she wants it all to go away,” the insider tells Life & Style. “Focusing on another baby would help. Plus, it would make for more great TV for the show [Kendra].”

[From Life & Style]

God, enough with the dual promotion. It’s like, “Her marriage is falling apart, but she knows it will make for great television for Kendra, which airs on E! on Wednesdays.” The source is such an E! employee.

Regarding Kendra’s sex tape, Fox New Pop Tarts is reporting that the release is being delayed because of “legal issues”. It was supposed to come out later this month, but is now due out in June. Fox News also had a preview of the cover for the porno:

Life & Style’s cover story this week is all about how Kendra’s sex tape is probably going to destroy her marriage. I know a lot of you don’t really care for Kendra, but I find myself feeling genuine sympathy for her, and I do think she and her husband Hank are probably very embarrassed about the situation. L&S claims that Hank is “so angry” with Kendra, and he’s worried about what his teammates will say about it.

A month shy of their wedding anniversary, Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett are struggling to hold their marriage together after being rocked by Vivid Entertainments announcement to release Kendra Exposed, featuring the blond bombshell and an ex.

“Hank is totally upset and embarrassed,” an E! insider reveals to Life & Style. “He’s so angry.”

More infuriating is that the she tried to sell the intimate footage herself in November 2008, soon after Hank had proposed.

“Kendra’s sex tape was shopped to me two years ago,” celeb sex-tape broker Kevin Blatt tells Life & Style. “It was done by a person who said he was Kendra’s manager.” Which won’t sit well with her hubby.

“I know Hank will be pretty upset,” Hugh Hefner’s former girlfriend Karissa Shannon tells Life & Style.

While Hank continues to play the supportive husband, Kendra’s sex tapes have him reeling — and may hurt his livelihood.

“The main reason he’s embarrassed is his team’s [possible] reaction,” the E! insider explains to Life & Style. “He needs to concentrate on his career right now, and this just creates more distractions for him.”

[From Life & Style]

Well, I hope they stay together. They seem to really care about each other (and I’m not joking) and they have that baby to think about. Meanwhile, Radar has more details about the actual sex tape. No confirmation about whether the tape shows a gang bang, a claim which I’m starting to doubt. Radar reports that Kendra’s partner in the tape is her ex-boyfriend, a dude named Justin. Justin was her boyfriend before she met Hef. Radar’s timeline: “Sources confirm that Kendra and Justin were in a committed relationship from the time Kendra graduated high school in spring 2003 to the time she moved into the Playboy Mansion. Hugh Hefner first discovered Kendra at his 78th birthday party in April 2004 where she was one of the hired “painted girls” who were nude except for painted-on accessories. Shortly after, Hefner asked Kendra to be one of his girlfriends and she moved into the Playboy Mansion…Now, sources confirm that Kendra’s team was in talks with Justin and his representatives at the time regarding the tape, which Justin had in his possession.”
