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…
Kendra Wilkinson: Baby Bumpin' in a Bikini
InTouch Weekly
Seeing mom-to-be Kendra Wilkinson proudly posing on the cover of the new In Touch Weekly got us thinking...What is wrong with this picture?
Please don't misinterpret. There is absolutely nothing negative about seeing a woman in the midst of creating a life.
We guess it just feels a little weird to see the E! star go from the The Girls Next Door to actually becoming more like, well, the girl next door.
Again. That's OK. It's a lovely thing. But when a former Playmate suddenly has a domestic agenda and is subsequently replaced by a straitlaced cartoon character, you can't help but feel like you've stepped into some sort of alternate universe.
Or is it just us?

Kendra's not the only one expecting—see other pregnant stars in our Baby Bumpin' gallery.
But being pregnant doesn't mean you can't still be fashionable, as the Pregnancy Chic gallery at mystyle.com proves.
Kendra Wilkinson: I'm Goin' Back to Cali!
E! Entertainment
Although new wifey and mom-to-be Kendra Wilkinson is settling into her new life in Indianapolis, her heart is back in Hollywood. But not necessarily at the Playboy Mansion.
The one-time Girl Next Door tells E! News that she's planning on moving back to California sometime in February and buying her own house in L.A.
"It's such a tease, because I want to be settled," says Kendra, who moved to Indianapolis with footballer hubby Hank Baskett after he was dropped by the Eagles and picked up by the Colts.
"But I have to stay strong for Hank," she tells E! News. "It's his job. It was really hard on him when the Eagles released him. I'm here to be his backbone, and though it's hard on me, I didn't want to make it hard on him."
One thing making the transition easier?

Kendra and Hank Racing to Indy

Kendra Wilkinson's giving up cheesesteaks for race cars.
Just two days after being cut by the Philadelphia Eagles, husband Hank Baskett is poised to sign with another Super Bowl favorite, the Indianapolis Colts. He's expected to begin practicing today and could be catching passes from Peyton Manning by this weekend.
While Kendra says the ink isn't dry yet, she's definitely psyched about the move.
"This is a great opportunity for Hank to be playing for the Colts. Peyton Manning is one of the best—if not the best—quarterbacks in the league, and I'm excited to see my baby kick some ass!" Kendra exclusively tells us. "So proud of Hank for staying strong and positive."
The pregnant newlyweds had recently relocated from L.A. to the Philly suburbs. Now it looks like Kendra and Hank will be keeping up with the Indiana Joneses.

Kendra's Hubby Gets Cut Loose
E! Networks
The Eagle bombshell has landed.
Kendra Wilkinson's football-playin' hubby, Hank Baskett, has been released from the Philadelphia Eagles in advance of the team's second game (which, in a nice bit of past and present E! flame synergy, is against Reggie Bush's New Orleans Saints).
On the plus side, he won't have to worry about taking paternity leave.
Baskett, a wide receiver, was cut loose to make room for another headline-grabbing player (for all the wrong reasons): Michael Vick.
News of Baskett's ousting comes after the expectant newlyweds decided to swap time zones, with Kendra and her reality-show hubby ditching Los Angeles for a home in the City of Brotherly Love's suburbs.
Needless to say, when it comes to the Baskett brood, it's no longer sunny in Philadelphia.

Kendra's Baby Showered With Love by Playboy's Finest
E! Networks
Years from now, Kendra Wilkinson's son is going to be looking at pictures from his mom's baby shower and thinking one thing.
Why couldn't they have waited until I was all grown up to get this group together?
Former roomies Bridget Marquardt and Holly Madison and Hugh Hefner and his current trio of gal-pals were among those who gathered at a shower Wednesday to celebrate the impending birth of Kendra's first child with hubby Hank Baskett.
The over-the-moon duo are expecting a boy this Christmas.
Guests at the "pickles and ice cream/Candyland"-themed shower munched on treats that included cupcakes baked by BunnyBridget herself—with the help of her live-in boyfriend, Nick Carpenter.
"Just got done baking, frosting and decorating a ton of mini cupcakes for Kendra's shower tomorrow...It's been a busy day. I'm exhausted," Marquardt wrote on Twitter yesterday.
Madison, meanwhile, twittered during the party that she was "wearing a sympathy pack made of balloons."
Aw...
Kendra & Kourtney Show Off Baby Bumps, Talk Sex
E!'s expectant stars Kendra Wilkinson and Kourtney Kardashian are showing off their bumps together on the latest cover of Us Weekly.
Only E! News was behind the scenes of their cover shoot, where the moms-to-be grubbed on Burger King and dished about their sex drives, breast-feeding and birthing.
"I've been hornier!" Kendra told the mag of her sex life with hubby Hank Baskett at their shoot. "We'll be off-roading, and we'll go at it in the bushes somewhere! Or we'll be driving, and he'll pull over. Quickies are the best! If he lasts any more than a couple of minutes, I'm like, I'm done!"
Both of the former party girls say their men will be in the delivery room when the big moment happens, but they're not sure if they'll watch...
Mini Baby Boom: What's in the Water at E!?

There must be something in the water. Or more specifically, something in the taps here at E!
Two of our network reality-TV stars, Kendra Wilkinson and Kourtney Kardashian—both so popular they earned their own spinoff shows—announced spinoffs of their own this summer: Kendra is expecting a baby boy, and Kourtney just revealed she, too, is with child.
And if our watercoolers are in fact fertility fountains, then it stands to reason that more of our resident stars may very well be birthing before we know it.
Which is pretty cool, since it would not only give Kendra and Kourtney's kids some additional playmates but also provide us with a whole new pool of future talent from which to pull.

Kendra Wilkinson and hubby Hank Baskett are having a boy!
The newlyweds found out earlier today.
"We were at the doctor's, and he said, 'You wanna know now?' " Kendra just told me. "So we looked, and we saw his little penis!"
The two had a boy's name picked out a long time ago. "Yup, he's going to be Hank Baskett IV," said the E! reality star.
Fortunately, it was only good news from the doctor. Read on to hear about their pregnancy medical scare...
Kendra Harasses Bewildered Senior—Fun!
Now that the first season of Kendra is over, the giggly, pregnant sex kitten took time on last night's season finale to relive some of her favorite moments. And when bimbo bud Bridget Marquardt dropped by to provide some unscripted, spontaneous prompts and interview questions, luckily the cameras were rolling.
What are the chances?
Speaking of spontaneous, remember when Kendra and Hank dialed frequent crank-call victim Hugh Hefner? For a few magical seconds, he actually sounds like a confused old man.
He never had these problems with a telegraph, by cracky.

Bridget Marquardt Talks Jon and Kate Gosselin

Bridget Marquardt knows being in the spotlight of reality television can be stressful, but she doesn't think it's to blame for Jon and Kate Gosselin's messy split.
"I personally don't think it necessarily had to do with the reality show," the Girl Next Door told us at this week's Reality Cares' Sizzles event at the SunStyle Tanning Studio in West Hollywood. "I think he was unhappy with his marriage and the situation to begin with…I think [reality TV] definitely is a stress factor in a relationship, but I don't think it breaks it up. I think there have to be underlying problems."
In fact, Bridget wouldn't mind scoring another reality-show deal.
Oh? Read on for details, plus hear what she has to say about moving in with boyfriend Nick Carpenter...
