Kendra Wilkinson

Yes, Kendra Wilkinson is featured on the holiday cover of Playboy.

And, yes, this is the same Kendra Wilkinson who said a week ago that she would not be posing for the magazine again.

But, no, such an apparent contradiction does NOT make her a hypocrite. We'll let Kendra explain, via a blog entry from today:

I wanted to clear something up really quick! A lot of you saw on my show that I was struggling to decide whether to pose for Playboy again or not. I AM on the December cover of Playboy but it wasn’t from a recent shoot. The photos are from a shoot I did 2 years ago when I was still living in the mansion.

Ah, makes perfect sense now. Perhaps Kendra will next explain her definition of single parenthood, as ridiculously outlined in this interview.

Life is really tough for a pretend single mother.

Just days after Kendra Wilkinson cried about living apart from her husband for a few weeks, while he earns hundreds of thousands of dollars playing professional football, the centerfold has returned to the magazine that made her famous.

Indeed, Kendra graces the cover of Playboy's Christmas issue, putting to rest the rumor she started about not posing for that publication again.

Wilkinson says that going forward with the pictorial was "the hardest decision I've ever had to make in my life," making it clear once and for all: she's had a pretty awesome life.

She adds: "I'm 25, I have a son. If I don't do Playboy now I probably won't ever do Playboy again... I want to say 'F' you to the world and say 'moms can be sexy'."

Note to Kendra: Gisele Bundchen is a mother. So is Heidi Klum. Christina Aguilera has a kid, too. We know moms can be sexy, thanks.

Kendra Wilkinson is a single mother.

If being a single mother means living apart from your husband for a few months while he rakes in six figures, that is.

In the latest issue of Life & Style, the tabloid cover mainstay plays up the rumored trouble in her marriage to Hank Baskett by crying about how difficult it is to live in Los Angeles while he plays football for the Minnesota Vikings.

"Not having Hank around hurts," Kendra tells the magazine. "Moving across the country by myself makes me think of my own mom who raised me and my brother alone. Hank's not going to be [away] forever, but with him not physically here, I'm a single parent now."

Earlier this month, Kendra Wilkinson was offered another chance to pose for Playboy. She turned it down.

For what reason? Who the heck has this woman become? Ah, that's right: a wife and a mother.

Wilkinson actually hired a photographer to take some test shots of her, only for husband Hank Baskett to find out and, as Kendra told E! News:

"He didn't yell at me. He wasn't mad at me for doing that photo shoot. He sat down with me and he went over the reasons of doing it. And you know... I wanted to do Playboy for the wrong reasons. The wrong reasons are to prove people wrong, not to prove it to myself but to people and to put my middle finger up to everybody and be like, 'I'm going to do Playboy!' But that wasn't the right reason."

Like millions of men around the country, Hank Baskett can't hold down a job.

But it's not due to the economy or any corporate downsizing. The guy just isn't very good at football.

As a result of Baskett changing NFL teams often, there is reportedly stress in the marriage between him and Kendra Wilkinson. That's what happens when reality show cameras must worry about which city they'll be filming in from month to month.

It happens to all relationships, right?

Ah, the life of a former Playboy centerfold and a mediocre NFL wide receiver.

With Hank Baskett having recently been signed by the Minnesota Vikings and spending a lot of time in that state, he and Kendra Wilkinson are living apart because the latter is obligated to remain in Philadelphia in order to film her reality show.

"The locations have already been cleared, and they have storylines to finish," an source tells Life & Style. "In Minnesota, they'll have to get permits. It's a disaster right now."

Man, don't you hate it when storylines affect a marriage?

It's official: there are only two things bigger than Kendra Wilkinson's breasts:

1. The mystery surrounding how this Playboy centerfold is a best-selling author.
2. The sales of her sex tape, Kendra Exposed.

According to Steven Hirsch, the Vivid Entertainment chairman, Kendra's video has "surpassed our expectations."

Horny men prefer an exposed Kendra to a raw Danielle. Surprising or expected?

"It’s our best-selling tape so far this year and could be one of our biggest-selling celebrity sex tapes of all time,” said Hirsch. “Kendra has millions of fans that love her. There's no question that the real popularity of a star helps to sell a movie and, of course, it helps that she's only 24 years old and beautiful."

A pair of professional athletes' wives are about to go head-to-head.

Or, really, body-to-body.

LaLa Vasquez, who is married to Carmelo Anthony, has challenged Kendra Wilkinson to a fashion face-off. How will the wife of wide receiver Hank Baskett respond? The answer is made obvious below:

By pulling out her two VERY big guns. Compare, contrast and sound off now:

Who wears this dress better?

If only Kendra Wilkinson knew she'd be this successful of an author, she could have refrained from showing us all her O-Face on camera.

Incredibly, the former Girl Next Door's memoir will sit at number-four on The New York Times Bestseller's list when its new edition comes out next week.

On the red carpet of the ESPY Awards, she expressed joy and shock over that accomplishment to TV Guide, adding that book signing attendees seem truly moved by "Sliding Into Home."

"Honestly, it's like a therapy session when they come to meet me," she says. "They circle their favorite chapters and they say, 'This is what relates to me in my life, and thank you so much because I survived all that.'

"That's why it's so easy to talk about. People are like 'You lived a crazy life - do you regret it?' I'm like 'No!' Because if it wasn't for everything I experienced, I wouldn't be here with my husband and my son. I mean, I lived my life. I'm 25 and I still have a lot to live, but I lived a crazy teenage life, on through the Playboy Mansion years."

Don't celebrate too much, Landon Donovan.

We know you just learned you didn't impregnate some British woman, and that's worth a fist pump or two. But there's another challenge ahead of you below.

The soccer star - whose goal against Algeria was awarded the 2010 ESPY for Best Moment - walked the awards show red carpet last night with ex-wife Bianca Kajlich. These two are pretty much back together at this point.

However, does that mean they can defeat a steady, married pair such as Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett in a THG Fashion Face-Off? That's up to readers to decide. Do so now!

Which couple looked better at the ESPYs?
