Kendra Wilkinson Insists: Moms Can Be Sexy!

Kendra Wilkinson has had it!
The Playboy centerfold is sick of all those news stories that claim mothers can't be sexy and is doing something about it: posing on yet another tabloid cover and issuing more nonsensical, misleading statements about her life. To wit:

This just in: Kendra Wilkinson is not a nun!

Just a couple retorts to the capitalized headline above: Has anyone ever claimed a mom cannot be sexy? We're pretty sure Heidi Klum has four kids. Hot case closed.

Meanwhile, in the latest sign of the approaching Apocalypse, sources confirm that Kendra will be writing a second book. Her first somehow shot to number-four on The New York Times Bestseller List.

"People still crave knowing about her life now as a mom to little Hank," a publishing insider told Life & Style. "Kendra's part of a new breed of mothers, the kind that can dress provocatively for a wild night of dancing, but still get up in the morning to change diapers. She wants to show everyone you can be a mom, work and be sexy."

You sure can. It helps when you're worth millions of dollars, too.

Kate Gosselin: Living Like Diva, Facing Fiscal Ruin!

Kate Gosselin is spending money like it's going out of style.
The only problem? With eight children and the kind of lifestyle only the richest can afford, her reduced income can't match her diva-like spending habits.
This could explain the kids eating moldy sandwiches lately.

THE WELL IS DRYING: Kate Gosselin's still spending, though.

Kate the child abuser made a small fortune from her TLC show and Dancing With the Stars, but insiders say much, if not most of it has evaporated.
"Kate lives like she is a movie star," a friend tells PopEater. "She flies first class, stays at expensive hotels. She once spent $7,000 on a haircut!"
While Kate keeps living the diva life, all the lucrative deals she's tried to put together to earn the cash to keep it up seem to have fallen through.
"Kate was hoping to get paid to endorse a bunch of products," the friend reports. "She thought she would earn millions advertising baby carriages."
"The poor thing even thought she would get a deal with Cover Girl after being on Dancing With The Stars, instead they went with Beyonce."
LOL, Kate. Delusional much?
There's no end in sight, either. With eight mouths to feed, not to mention the new expense of having a home tutor for two of the sextuplets - after Collin and Alexis Gosselin's expulsion from private school - the bills keep piling up.
"Kate is so worried about her finances that she's even thinking about getting a real job," an insider says. Hey, it's not like she can count on Jon.

Mel Gibson Wants Sole Custody of Daughter

After watching Oksana Grigorieva on Larry King last night, Mel Gibson didn't issue any sort of rebuttal. Rather, he sought sole custody of their daughter, Lucia.
The actor's lawyers will appear in court to ask the judge in his custody war to award him sole custody of baby Lucia in response to Oksana's sitdown on CNN.
Team Mel alleges that Oksana's false and derogatory statements to the media show she is not acting in the best interests of Lucia and should cost her custody.

MEL VS. OKSANA: With new barbs traded every day, this is one of the ugliest custody feuds we've ever seen, and the scary thing is that it's only beginning.

In addition to attempting to take custody from Oksana Grigorieva, Mel's lawyers will ask Judge Scott Gordon to award her visitation, but only with a monitor.
Moreover, they will seek to deny Oksana any overnight visits with the baby, the same thing she's requested to strip Mel of several times (to no avail so far).
This isn't some reactionary shot in the dark. Gordon has warned Oksana she could lose custody if she talked to the media. We'll see if he backs that up ...

Miley Cyrus Speaks on Big Bang Video, 18th Birthday Plans and More

What was it like for Miley Cyrus to make out with Keven Zegers in the music video for The Big Bang? How will this singer celebrate her 18th birthday in just a few days?
During a break from rehearsing for her appearance at this Sunday's American Music Awards, Miley answered these questions and more. To wit:
"Kevin is actually the boyfriend of someone that works very closely with me," Miley says. "So there was definitely a little awkwardness since she was on set or whatever."

For understandable reasons, Miley remained mum on the topic of her parents' divorce, not commenting on rumors that she played an indirect role in their split.

Bristol Palin Defends Willow Palin, Sort of Apologizes For Gay Slur

With 16-year-old Willow Palin catching some serious heat for calling an old classmate a f***ot on Facebook, older sister Bristol stepped up to apologize.
"Willow and I shouldn't have reacted to the negative comments about our family. We apologize," Bristol Palin wrote on her Facebook wall. "On a nicer note, thank you for supporting the great competition in Dancing with the Stars!"
Nice plug.

Bristol Palin has her sister Willow's back.

A few hours later, B-Palin added: "Thank you supporters who continue to support. The haters are already pulling out all the stops this week to destroy."
Yes, there it is. The conspiracy angle. Some misguided defenders of the Palins have opined that using the word f----t is only bad because it's Willow.
Bristol did not specifically mention Willow's gay slur directed at Tre, some dude who supposedly went to their school, and who updated his Facebook page Sunday with, "Sarah Palin's Alaska is failing so hard right now."
Not to take this biting criticism of her mom's show lightly, Willow retorted: "Haha your so gay. I have no idea who you are, But what I've seen pictures of, your disgusting … My sister had a kid and is still hot...Tre stfu. Your such a f----t."
For her part, Bristol joined Willow in bashing Tre, writing: "You're running your mouth just to talk s--t." She also singled out some guy named "Jon," writing: "You'll be as successful as my baby daddy, And actually I do work my ass off."
"I've been a single mom for the last two years."
Willow has since deleted her Facebook account. Should we care what a teenager says? Is it any less bad because the word is common? The question remains ...

Erin Barry and Tony Parker: Inside Their Sexting and Eva Longoria's Revenge

Eva Longoria was devastated when she discovered her husband, Tony Parker, had been trading sexual texts with Erin Barry, the wife of his former teammate.
Erin and Brent Barry had been close friends with Eva and Tony at one point, making the betrayal even harder on the Desperate Housewives star, reports say.
That's why she decided to blindside him by filing for divorce from Parker before they decided to take the breakup news public, according to Radar. Point, Eva!

BARRY BAD CALL: Never text dirty with your teammate's wife.

“They were working out the details. They didn’t want it to become a messy divorce," says a source. "Then Eva got a little revenge and didn’t tell Tony she was filing and dropped the papers on him, catching him off balance for the media blitz.”
While some reports say the exchanges between Tony and Erin Barry were “innocent,” conflicting stories call the sext-messaging flirtatious, sexual and "over the line."
Erin Barry is also in the midst of a divorce from Brent. It's unclear if the relationship with Parker ever became physical, but it sure sent Eva into a tailspin.
Parker apparently claims it never progressed beyond texting.
“Look, any wife is going to be upset with what Tony did, but he swears the relationship with Erin stopped there and they never had sex,” a source tells Radar.
“And Tony also says the text messages ended months ago.”
Doesn't sound so minor when coupled with reports that Longoria herself not only filed for divorce out of nowhere, but leaked the story of Tony's infidelity.
“Suddenly, Eva Longoria not only filed the papers but then went public with Tony’s relationship with Erin Barry. He was surprised, to say the least."
Interestingly, initial reports of the couple's demise said that Tony filed divorce papers in Texas. This was in fact the plan, but he never did so.
“He held off,” the source said. “It had been discussed but then was abandoned. Next thing he knew she surprised him by filing on Wednesday."
Take that! Eva issued a brief statement confirming the split after the fact, and her reason for feeling burned is, honestly, quite understandable.
“Eva is furious that Tony started a relationship with a woman she knew, a woman they went out with as couple friends," says the insider. "She felt betrayed by Tony and this is how she decided to get a small measure of revenge.”
Well played, Eva Longoria. Well. Played.

Change is Coming to American Idol

A new judging panel isn't the only change coming to season 10 of American Idol.
Producer Nigel Lythgoe told TV Guide this week that he has a couple unique ideas for the season that kicks off in January:
1. There will be no top 24, as the show will cut contestants directly down to the final 12. Explains Lythgoe: "I didn't think [the top 24] were very good, I was bored with them by the time they got there."

2. Theme weeks will focus on decades instead than individual artists.

3. Finalists will face new challenges, most prominently contests to make the top music video, while also working with a band and dancers for an awards show-type performance.

It also sounds like we'll be treated to more country music than ever before this season. Sounds good to us. What does everyone else think of the changes coming to Idol?
