Kendra Wilkinson tied the knot with her NFL star beau Hank Baskett at the Playboy mansion in Los Angeles on Saturday (June 27).
Spotted arriving on the grounds in casual clothes early on in the day, Kendra told press on-hand: “I’m ready to marry the man of my dreams. He’s one in a million. I’m so lucky.”
Opting for an evening ceremony, the festivities kicked off at 6:45PM, with the former “Girls Next Door” star clad in a lovely white gown accompanied by platinum jewelry from Michael Barin while the groom matched in a snazzy white tux.

With former co-stars Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt among the bridesmaids, the guest list included Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and his three new ladies.

Talking to E! News at the ceremony, Hef gushed, “I could not be more delighted. This is one of the happiest days in one of the happiest places on Earth.”
Kendra and Hank, who are also expecting their first child together, are soon-to-be heading off on a private honeymoon at an undisclosed location.
Hugh Hefner, 83, calls Holly Madison, 29, the love of his life and hopes that she will return to the Playboy Mansion to live with him.
He said: ‘I’d welcome Holly back with open arms because she is still the love of my life.’
So now that Holly has split with magician Criss Angel, will she run back to Hef?
Holly – who moved out of the mansion last year after her split with Hugh – insists there isn’t any chance of her returning.
She said: ‘I loved my time at the mansion and think the world of Hef. There comes a time in everyone’s life where they need to go their own way.’
Hef has other women to keep his bed warm.
Hef now lives in the Playboy Mansion with current girlfriends 19-year-old twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon and Crystal Harris, 22.

Holly Madison just split with magician Criss Angel and now she is going to be on Dancing with the Stars.
Madison’s Girls Next Door costar, Bridget Marquardt, let the news slip on live TV.
“I’m so excited for her,” Marquardt, who next stars in a Travel Channel show called Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches, told FOX’s Strategy Room Wednesday.
“She’s wanted to do it for so long,” Marquardt added. “It just never worked with her schedule and Hef was always like ‘I don’t want you to do that,’ and now it’s her time, so I’m really happy for her.”
There is speculation Madison could be replacing Jewel, who has been struggling with knee problems, and blogged last week that tendinitis could force her to drop out.
“Unless there is a miracle healing, Holly is confirmed to be a part of the premiere,” a DWTS source says.
Jewel released a statement last week saying she’d suffered a “minor setback,” and added: “Don’t count me out, as I am in this for the long run.”
A source close to Jewel says she’ll still be on the show Monday. It doesn’t sound like Jewel will be dancing though!
Holly might have an advantage over the other DWTS contestants. She’ll be right at home in all of the skimpy outfits!

Hugh Hefner’s ex-girlfriend, Bridget Marquardt, has a new show.
The Girls Next Door star was spotted filming her new show on the Travel Channel called Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches on the Gold Coast in Australia. The show will feature beaches in Mallorca, Australia, Fiji, and Thailand.

Bridget was filming with a legendary group of young women known as the Meter Maids who prevent parking tickets while wearing bikinis.
Girls Next Door star, Kendra Wilkinson has given an interview to US Weekly talking about what life was like at the Playboy Mansion and what it was like dating Hugh Hefner.
Kendra says that she and Hef were “intimate”, but it seems that was a rare occurrence. She had to go elsewhere for some lovin’ every now and then.
“I had to have sex every now and then, so I had to kind of sneak it. Besides the nights we went out, I only saw Hef, like, once a day walking through the halls to his office. There were never solo dates.”Wilkinson admits that the eldest girlfriend, Bridget Marquardt, apparently never cheated on Hef. Kendra says, “Bridget told me that she’s been faithful all these years, and I was like, ‘How the hell can you do that?’ I had to have [sex] so I could feel my age, like a healthy human being.”
Kendra says that her time with Hef was very limited: “The most we kind of say to each other is, ‘I love you,’ ‘Love you too,’ ‘I hope you have a good day,’ ‘Did you have a good day?’ “
Kendra lets the cat out of the bag about how very controlling Hef is.
Kendra says living with Hef was “way more strict than my life has ever been.” Especially considering that it would drive her “insane” that staff members would keep track of her and the other ladies whenever they left the mansion.In fact, the staff would note down the times they left and returned to the mansion in a book and Hef would review it each morning.
Also interesting is the fact that the girlfriends couldn’t spend the holidays away from the mansion. But at least they got paid an allowance of $1,000 a week. Kendra added, “I hate putting my hand out, but we couldn’t have jobs other than getting appearance fees. Hef was kind of like my best friend, but a sugar daddy at the same time … Hef made me feel beautiful. Now I’m totally against [Hefner's] way of life, with three girlfriends and all of that.”
So will Kendra still be getting married at the Playboy mansion with Hef walking her down the aisle? Those were the plans, but Hef will probably be pissed about this interview. Kendra is currently engaged to US footballer Hank Baskett.

Hugh Hefner made headlines when he ditched the three “Girls Next Door” babes for a brand new pair of 19-year-old blonde twins, named Karissa and Kristina Shannon. And now Hef has added a third girl to his entourage.
The Playboy mogul is reportedly dating 22-year-old Crystal Harris in addition to Karissa and Kristina Shannon. Harris is a psychology student at San Diego State University and insists she never received a proper introduction due to the fact that Hef’s twins got all the attention. Harris hasn’t posed for her boyfriend’s magazine, but did appear in a series of topless and semi-nude photos as a Co-ed of the Week on Playboy.com in late October under the name “Crystal Carter.”
Harris says Hef isn’t seeing anyone else, but added: “There are a couple that we have interest in … As for now, it is just us three.”
Not only is she a Playboy bunny, but also Kendra Wilkinson will now be the wife of an Eagle.
Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner, 82 has extended his blessings after his ex-girlfriend ‘Girl Next Door’ Kendra Wilkinson, 23 accepted footballer Hank Baskett’s marriage proposal. Baskett popped the question to the bubbly blonde atop the Space Needle in Seattle last weekend.
“Kendra Wilkinson has met someone who she would like to spend the rest of her life with. His name is Hank Baskett, a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, and he popped the question last Saturday,” Hugh Hefner said in a statement.
Hefner said that he’ll support his ex-girlfriend, and has even offered Playboy Mansion as a venue for her wedding reception. He wished Wilkinson nothing but the best, saying, “I have given her my blessing and will be giving her away at a very special wedding ceremony at the Playboy Mansion this coming June.”
Wilkinson isn’t the only one of Hefner’s girlfriends to find love in other places. Holly Madison, known as his “number one” girlfriend on the show, was recently seen with new beau, illusionist Criss Angel.
Hefner is currently dating 19-year-old twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon.
Kissy, Kissy! Criss Angel and Holly Madison attended the grand opening of Angel’s Cirque Du Soleil show Believe.

Criss talked to the media about Holly:
“This is one of the most special evenings for me in my life and I can not think of a more beautiful person, a more special person, inside and out, than Holly to spend it with.”
When asked how he and Madison got together, he replied, “I got lucky. I didn’t have a date and so she said, ‘I’ll come’. She makes me look good.”
Holly certainly seems to be over Hef!

Hugh Hefner is speaking out about his split from girlfriend #1, Holly Madison.
“I had planned to spend the rest of my life with Holly,” Hefner said.
After the break-up, “I was road kill a couple of weeks ago,” he said.
One persistent strain in the relationship was Holly’s desire to have children.
“We tried to have a baby earlier this year and it didn’t work out,” he said. “She
became very depressed.”
We didn’t know that Holly and Hef actually tried for a baby!
Madison, 28, confirmed the break up from Hef, 82, Tuesday.
Notice that their ages are inverted numbers of each other. Wow.
“Hef and I aren’t together,” she told TMZ.com cameras.
But, she said that she, Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt are “still filming stuff together. We’re having fun.”
Of their upcoming sixth season, she added, “It’s going to be even better. We love season five, but I think every season gets better.”
I wonder if they are filming these shows as if they all actually still live together. Everyone knows the truth, so what’s the point?
Don’t shed any tears for Hef just yet.
He’s got girlfriend replacements ready to go.
In the last week, he’s been spotted with 19-year-old twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon. “They very much want to be girlfriends and now under the present circumstance, they probably will become my girlfriends,” Hefner says.
And they’re not all he has to look forward to. A college senior from Georgia whom Hefner identifies as Amy Leigh Andrews is also waiting in the wings. “She was testing here this past weekend,” Hef says of the centerfold wannabe, “and she said she’d like to be a girlfriend, too.” The 82-year-old Hefner laughed, “I’m dancing as fast as I can.”
Hugh Hefner is saying that he and Holly Madison are still together.
“She is still my girlfriend,” he says. “Now will that last? I don’t think anything lasts forever.
“I love her very much, but you know, she wants very much to get married and have children. That isn’t very much in the cards for me,” he adds. “So there has to be a certain reality there. And I’m sure the time will come when she’ll be dating others. That’s part of the transition.”
Holly and Hef have been together for 7 years.
Holly Madison was spotted in Vegas making out with Criss Angel over the weekend. Gross!
We suspect that Holly is trying to stick it out in the Playboy mansion, which isn’t exactly a tough thing to do. Live in a mansion for free and having access to Hef’s credit cards for shopping sprees isn’t a bad life. Plus, if she stays with Hef for the remainder of his life, I’m sure that would secure a place for her in his will. It is also likely a publisher would throw some money her way after his death for a book about Hef in the last decade or so of his life. In other words, we suspect the longer she stays with him, the more money and perks come her way. We do think she cares for Hef, but she wants more than he can give her.
As for the recent rumors that Holly Madison may wed Hugh Hefner, she says there are no such nuptials in the works. She blogged, “It would not be a secret if I were engaged to anyone.”
She continued, “There is a bad a** wedding coming up in Season 5 of Girls Next Door, but it’s not mine! It was our friends’ wedding that Bridget planned. I think it was one of the craziest weddings/receptions Vegas has ever seen. I loved the cut I saw of the episode…one of my all time faves… but they could not even show half of the stuff that went on that weekend! I gotta admit, Bridget and I tried to get married while we were out there for the wedding…but you will have to tune in to see how that panned out!”
In addition to the rumors that Holly might marry Hef (which she just debunked), there have been lots of rumors circulating that she has been spending time in Vegas with magician Criss Angel and that she might be leaving Hef for Criss. We think Holly will stay with Hef, but she still might be hanging with Criss in the meantime. Scandalous!

Hugh Hefner’s #1 girlfriend, Holly Madison, was out dropping some serious cash on Robertson Boulevard. What do you think of the Girls Next Door star’s style? Holly was wearing a black off-the-shoulder shirt, denim skirt, knee-high tubesocks and a pair of Converse All-Stars. Oh, and don’t forget the Louis Vuitton handbag.
Her outfit is fun, I guess. I think she’s beautiful, but I’m not sure that I think this is her best look.
Oh well, she’s got all the time in the world, and Hef’s money, to try out crazy styles.
So what is going on with Hef’s two other girlfriends?
There was the recent announcement that Kendra Wilkinson will be moving out of the Playboy Mansion next season to do her own spinoff show, there are rumors flying around the gossip mill that Holly and Hef may be getting more serious. Wedding bells? I don’t know how that will work. Hef is supposedly still legally married to his second wife, Kimberley Conrad. Conrad and Hef’s two sons Marston, 18 (Hef’s middle name) and Cooper, 17 live next to the Playboy mansion in a $7 million home purchased by the Playboy mogul to keep them close. Kimberley and the boys visit the mansion regularly. In fact, Tuesday night is “family night” and there are no girlfriends around. Hefner and Conrad split in 1998, but the two are still technically married. Hef would have to officially divorce Conrad in order to marry Holly.
In addition, Hefner’s other girlfriend Bridget Marquardt was overheard talking about a huge wedding coming up, and that she would be moving out as well. “She said they (Bridget and Kendra) will be moving on since Holly is Hef’s main girlfriend.”
What do you think? Should Hef finally get a divorce and marry Holly? Sorting out the finances of that divorce would probably take years. Conrad has been Hef’s wife legally for almost two decades. Or should Hef just leave Holly a nice chunk of change in his will so that she is taken care of after his death? I watch the Girls Next Door and Holly has hinted on more than one occassion that she wants the Playboy mansion. I think it should go to his children.
