• Keeping Up With the Kardashians: E!'s wedding special for Lamar Odom and Khloé Kardashian beat AMC's Mad Men season finale by about a million viewers. Pssst...Mad Men fans: Do we think January Jones is done with the show now that Betty and Don (Jon Hamm) are getting divorced? And who else nearly fell off their couch in happiness when Joan (Christina Hendricks) came back?
• We Heart Holly: Our favorite Girl Next Door, Holly Madison, is going to star in another reality show for E! Whoo-hoo!
• No Magic: ABC sources confirm that the network has declined to order additional installments of the Rebecca Romijn witch dramedy Eastwick. Unaired episodes are booked through Nov. 25.
• Ward Off the Chill: Miscellaneous winter TV launch dates we nailed down today include CW's lovely Life UneXpected (or LUX for short), which is scheduled to premiere Mon., Jan. 18 in the Gossip Girl slot. (Don't worry, Upper East Siders, it's just temporary; LUX will eventually settle into another time slot on another night, and Gossip Girl will be back soon enough.) Also, 24 and Human Target are premiering on Fox on Sun., Jan. 17.
• Visit the Pacific: Even though it wouldn't usually be in our wheelhouse, we're recommending this production featurette for HBO's upcoming The Pacific miniseries on honor of Wednesday's Veteran's Day holiday here in the States. (Plus, the kid from Jurassic Park and The Cure is back to acting. Whoo!)
Note: Just FYI, the Spoiler Chat will post tonight at 10 p.m. PST.

Hugh Hefner is still hoping Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson pose for Playboy someday, but now it's Megan Fox who is on the top of his wish list.
Hef simply says, "Megan is a fox."
The 83-year-old media tycoon's new Girls Next Door—Crystal Harris, 23, and 19-year-old twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon—agree, but they're just as hot for the looking-better-than-ever Kelly Osbourne…

Has Holly Madison landed herself a new man?
It certainly looked that way last night as she cozied up to Rob Dyrdek of MTV's Rob and Big at new Hollywood hot spot East.
The two were sitting together at a back table in the new restaurant, where Rob is a partner. Although they were with a big group enjoying sake shots and cocktails, they only had eyes for each other.
"They were very much in their own world and not paying attention to their surroundings," an eyewitness tells E! News of the duo, who were first spotted together at XS in Vegas a few weeks ago.
They weren't the only celebs in the house...

Let the romance rumors begin!
Holly Madison was spotted hanging out with hunky action star Jason Statham on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
The brawny Crank stud, I'm told, first noticed and was introduced to the Girl Next Door when she strutted her stuff as an honorary ring girl at the UFC fights at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.
And it didn't end there...

Kendra and Hank: The Wedding Video
Looks like her NFL hubby isn't the only one fluent in the play-by-play.
Newlywed Kendra Wilkinson, who tied the knot with Philadelphia Eagle babby daddy Hank Baskett at the Playboy Mansion Saturday, was no bridezilla, but she also wasn't shy on keeping either her coterie of bridesmaids or brother Colin, who gave her away, abreast of her every captured-on-camera move.
"I'm stepping, I'm stepping…stepping," the E! reality star informed her six bridesmaids as she picturesquely made her way down the mansion's steps in advance of the ceremony.
Not that they were the only ones getting the drill sergeant treatment.
Hugh Hefner: Kendra Will Be a "Hip" Mom
What kind of mom will Kendra Wilkinson be?
"A very hip one," ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner told E! News at last night's AFI tribute to Michael Douglas. "Her heart is gold."
Kendra announced earlier this week that she is pregnant with her and fiancé Hank Baskett's first baby. Hef said, "I think she and Hank are going to be a very good pair."
The parents-to-be will wed at the Playboy Mansion June 27.

Kendra and Hank: We're Having a Baby!
E! Entertainment
Kendra Wilkinson is pregnant.
The E! reality star has exclusively confirmed to me that she and fiancé Hank Baskett are expecting their first child.
"Hank and I are thrilled to announce that we are expecting our first child together," she just told me. "We are touched by the outpouring of support by our family, friends and fans."
Wilkinson, 23, and Baskett, 26, announced their engagement last November after the pro footballer popped the question at the top of Seattle's Space Needle.
What a month for these two! Besides this happy news, the couple's wedding is set for June 27 at Wilkinson's former abode, the Playboy Mansion. And Kendra, her new post-Girls Next Door show premiered Sunday, scoring E!'s second-highest rated series debut ever with 2.6 million viewers.
Just last month she told me the couple were already talking babies.
"I plan on having them very soon," Kendra said. "We want to be young parents and be able to chase around our kids and run and coach our kids. So, very soon."
She wasn't kidding!

Has Holly Madison found herself a new British import?
After spending time with her former boyfriend Hef at Playboy's Playmate of the Year party at the Palms Saturday night, the Girl Next Door was spotted getting cozy with Russell Brand.
The duo dined at P. Diddy's table at Tao, where Jay-Z was hosting a fight-night party.
"Russell and Holly were flirting with each other all night," a source says.
This wouldn't be Holly's first Vegas hookup...
Bridget, Holly and Kendra Brave the Sexiest Beaches
Bridget Marquardt, Holly Madison and Kendra Wilkinson—the lovely ladies best known as The Girls Next Door—team up again to do some serious reporting on the issues you care about. For Bridget's Sexiest Beaches, which premieres Thursday at 10 p.m. on Travel Channel, the ladies brave undersea creatures, airborne adventures and the well-oiled muscles of Venice Beach.
Kendra's Stripper Pole Is Better Than Carmen Electra's

So in between planning her wedding and filming her E! reality series spinoff, Kendra Wilkinson is working on another business venture sure to help humanity.
"I'm coming out with my own stripper pole. Stripper pole, and stripper pole workout," she told Us.
Now maybe you're thinking, "Hey, can't I already get a decent stripper pole workout from another Playboy model?" Well, you can, but after a little trash-talking from Kendra, you'll understand why she makes the best stripper pole.
"It's like Carmen Electra's, but mine is better. Mine will connect to the ceiling, and you can spin on it and do all that stuff on it."
Only one way to settle that claim: stripper pole-off challenge. Who do you think would take it? Sound off below!
Update
Holly Madison Takes Dancing Hit to the Ribs
Holly Madison may usually have a big smile on her face, but that isn't a tickle she's feeling in her ribs.
"We went to the doctor yesterday; I just have some inflamed muscles around my ribs, so it hurts, but I'm a lot more confident now I know it's nothing serious," she told E! News Friday. "I'm pretty good."
The news comes a day after reports of Madison's injury, the latest to befall the Dancing With the Stars cast, broke.
"After experiencing pain in her rib area, Holly received medical attention," a rep for the former Girls Next Door roommate said. "While she is not suffering from a broken rib, she does continue to feel a great deal of discomfort and was prescribed pain medication."
As if Tuesday's bottom-two appearance hadn't been enough of a gut check.
