Bridget's Shopping Spree for Kendra's Baby
E! Networks
Bridget Marquardt may not be flying to Indianapolis when Kendra Wilkinson gives birth next month, but that doesn't mean she's not thinking about her.
"I bought her so much stuff," Bridget told us at the recent Nu Pop Movement watch launch in L.A. "Tons of stuff. From the stroller to the car seat to toys and clothes and diapers and everything. So I think she has everything she needs from me."
Except a certain holiday outfit…

• Keeping Up With the Kardashians: E!'s wedding special for Lamar Odom and Khloé Kardashian beat AMC's Mad Men season finale by about 1 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! Woo-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 Monday, 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 Sunday, 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 in 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. Woo!)
Note: Just FYI, the Spoiler Chat will post tonight at 10 p.m. PST.

Holly Madison Channels Pamela Anderson
Courtesy of XS
Now this is a stretch.
At the XS Hollywood Halloween party inside Encore Las Vegas Monday night, Holly Madison dressed up like a Baywatch-era Pamela Anderson.
To capture this look, the former Girls Next Door star donned a skintight red swimsuit, drew on a fake barbed-wire tattoo and…well, that's about it.
After all, what else do you need when you can simply use what the good Hugh Lord gave you to complete the transformation, right?
As for the pulling down of the denim skirt, we can only assume that was for anybody who couldn't figure out who she was, as it reveals the whole costume.
Yeah, we're sure that's it.

The Girls Next Door Thrilled by Ancient Customs of 1979
It's a trip down mammary lane up in Hef's bedroom as the cackling sex kingpin runs a mansion roller disco party tape circa '79 for his current stable of young Girls Next Door, who barely remember 9/11.
The ladies exhibit a firm grasp of the obvious, gleefully naming what they see onscreen as if viewing flashcards—"Skates! Bikinis! Hef's jean outfit!"
They even spot Hef himself wearing a ceremonial headdress. Though in Playmate-speak, it's something else entirely.
Apologies in advance to the Native American community.

Stars Take to the Streets for AIDS Walk
Sometimes there is a good reason for L.A. traffic.
Such was the case when major roads were blocked off in Los Angeles Sunday afternoon to accommodate the 30,000 participants making strides through the city for AIDS Project Los Angeles' 25th Annual AIDS Walk.
Celebrities including Felicity Huffman, Mary-Louise Parker, Aaron Carter, La Toya Jackson and E!'s Girls Next Door stars Crystal Harris and Kristina and Karissa Shannon hit the streets to join the event, which commemorated a quarter century of AIDS activism.
The momentous fundraising event pulled in a whopping $3.1 million for APLA.
"Through good times and bad, the AIDS Walk is still a steadfast source of fundraising and awareness in its decades-long campaign to make AIDS history," Craig R. Miller, founder and producer of the event, said.

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…
Holly Madison Gets Cozy With Rob Dyrdek

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...

Hef's New Girls: Yes to Stripper Poles, but No to Peacocks
E! Networks
Crystal Harris, 23, may share a room with Hugh Hefner at the Playboy Mansion, but that doesn't mean his two other girlfriends, 19-year-old twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon, are even a wee bit jealous.
"Our room is pimp," Karissa tells me. "We've got the round spinning bed from Chicago, a kickass big-screen TV and we have the perfect view of all the parties in the backyard. And we're getting a stripper pole in there, too."
Of course they are.
What else are the three new Girls Next Door lovin' about being with the Hef? Keep reading to find out. Plus, they even reveal what they don't like about the Mansion.
Hugh Hefner Tired of Married Life
ZUMAPress.com
Hugh Hefner can't really accuse his estranged wife of cramping his style, but he's seeking more freedom just the same.
The Playboy founder and main man on The Girls Next Door has filed for divorce from Kimberley Conrad Hefner after 20 years of marriage—the last 11 of which they've spent separated.
In his petition filed Sept. 4 in Los Angeles Superior Court, Hef asks that a judge trim his monthly support payments from $40,000, the amount he's been shelling out since they split up in 1998, to $20,000.
The pajama-favoring publishing mogul has given Kimberley more than $12 million over the past decade, according to the filing. They have two teenage children together.
"There is no reason she cannot take the steps to become self-supporting immediately," Hef's lawyer states.
According to court docs, Hefner collects roughly $290,580 a month from Playboy, HMH Productions, Social Security, investments and other income channels.
But of course, all that money only leads to more problems.
Bridget Marquardt Says Goodbye to Hello Kitty

They've only been living together for a week, but Bridget Marquardt and her director-boyfriend, Nick Carpenter, are already bickering.
"We usually have fun together, but going through all these boxes has been a little bit stressful," the E! reality star, 35, told us at last night's Nylon magazine party at Skybar in West Hollywood. "I told Nick that he has to help me get rid of things, but every time he tells me to throw something away, I get all pissed at him."
Especially when it comes to her Hello Kitty collection...
