Philadelphia

Sexy Playboy Playmate and former Hugh Hefner girlfriend, Kendra Wilkinson Baskett

Sexy Playboy Playmate and former Hugh Hefner girlfriend, Kendra Wilkinson Baskett stopped in Philly to sign her new book Being Kendra: Cribs, Cocktails, and Getting My Sexy Back
This is about the most complete sign that says I’m taking your photo biotches and you’re not getting compensated nor do I need to ask you your permission.
Kendra, Eddie and KiraCostello arrive at the signing, fashionably late at 12:50PM for the 12:30PM signing. Last year when they arrived they garaged it, meaning they went in the back through the garage. This time I was tipped off that they would be going through the front door as they would be filming for the series. I was playing my part of the paparazzi. (This shot is a bit blown out, I did get better shots but they didn’t have Eddie in them. Also I was filming at the same time. That clip might show up on Fox 29 Good Day on Friday with me chatting about what went on in the front of the house.)
When I got inside I finally saw the crowd. There was a decent amount of people, but not nearly as much as last year when the signing was held at night.
My fellow photographers were in place

When Mike Jerrick isn’t making fun of the Kardashian’s he’s doing hard hitting news like asking Kendra where is the best place you’ve had sex? Tune in today on Fox 29 Good Day to hear her answer. Also check out what she says about Michael Vick. Does she like him? How do you think he’ll respond?
First in line. Mom and daughter got there by 8AM. They watch Kendra together every week. When the little girl got up to Kendra she did the coochie dance. Kendra said it was better than hers cause ever since she’s had baby Hank, her hoochie can’t coochie much anymore.

I love this shot of Kendra posing with a young fan. Yesterday the show was being taped for her Kendra! show for E! Television on Sunday’s at 10PM
One of the nicest things about Kendra is that she talks to all her fans. She makes that personal connection, and poses with them. It must be exhausting, but she does it. That puts her in the top 5 of nicest celebrities to their fans, meaning they sign autographs and appreciate their support. #5 Kendra, #4 Lady Gaga #3 Johnny Depp, #2 Angelina Jolie #1 Tom Cruise
Paula Lisenbee and Julie Dorenbos, who is on Kendra. In fact today she taped a scene. Wanna know where & what check out my PhillyMag.com column today. I’ll also have a few other tidbits.

After the photographers were dismissed, as we get about 10 minutes of shooting time, I bought two books to get signed for my charities. I waited in line with Sean Kelly, who is a journalism major at Temple, and Paula Lisenbee, who I just met last week at the Skin Palette party (see PhillyMag.com). Paula is also engaged to Philadelphia Eagles Julian Vandervelde. OMG these two are huge Kendra fans, both were hyperventilating in line, wondered if they needed tissues to dab their tears of excitement when they met the Goddess. It didn’t matter when I told them that in the book Kendra says she hated Philly, especially because Philly peeps weren’t used to seeing a celebrity and she had become a virtually prisoner in her home because of the stares and pointed. (A little exaggerated I think.) She then went on to say she had to hire a dog walker cause she couldn’t go out anymore, ahem I recall getting Eddie’s tweet pixs of him and the dogs at Rittenhouse Square; the only thing she liked in Philly, she said, was the greasy food. Ugh Kendra really. I know Hank was screwed by the Eagles, but did you have to hate on the Philadelphian’s? Also Kendra, ducks are at Fairmount Park, Ride The Ducks are at Penns Landing. If Hank Jr was feeding the ducks, where do you think you were when you laid the blanky on the grass for a picnic?
None the less, I know people love Kendra, and I’m in the business of making lots of money for Gilda’s Club of SJ. Kendra was sweet in her message, and was engaging in conversation. Maybe she had a ghost writer who got it all wrong about Philly.
