Kendra Wilkinson Poses With Baby Bump On Magazine Cover

Reality TV star Kendra Wilkinson poses with her baby bump on the latest cover of In Touch magazine.


The 24 year-old glamour model is known for her sexy body, which has been highlighted on the E! reality television show "The Girls Next Door," documenting her life as one of Hugh Hefner's three girlfriends. She has also posed for nude pictorials with her Girls Next Door co-stars and fellow Hefner girlfriends Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt.

But Kendra Wilkinson's latest magazine pictorial displays not her curves, but her baby bump. As pregnant model of the magazine, she talks about the joys of pregnancy.

"I have never felt this beautiful! The one thing I love about being pregnant is my skin, I used to have the worst acne. My whole life it's been horrible — on the Girls Next Door, it was disgusting. This is the best skin that I have ever had in my life!

"The greatest thing is probably just feeling like a queen. Everybody does everything for me. And Hank is always just giving me unconditional love — that different type of love that I've never felt before."


Kendra Wilkinson met Playboy magazine owner Hugh Hefner at his 78th birthday party where she was hired as one of the "painted girls." She later lived in the Playboy Mansion as Hefner's girlfriend and made several magazine pictorials and cameos on different TV programs.

Kendra Wilkinson is now married to former Philadelphia Eagles receiver Hank Baskett. Taking her husband's last name, she is now known as Kendra Baskett.

“This Is Not Just Any Nude Photo, It’s Art!” - Lily Cole

Lily Cole, 20-year old British supermodel, posed unclothed in French Playboy with the belief that the shoot is “not just nude, it's art.”


Lily Cole is featured in a 14-page spread inside the Playboy magazine. In the interview which accompanied the photos, she explained why she was convinced to pose naked.

“Nudity has always existed in art, and I think that, given the right conditions, it doesn’t necessarily 'debase' any more than it celebrates or represents the human body.”

Being a high-profiled fashion model who have worked with top clothing companies like M&S, the decision of the young model to pose for the men's magazine had triggered controversy even before its release.

Although there have been reports of Lily Cole to be dropped by M&S, the supermodel remained confident that her decision to pose for Playboy will not caused her her career. To back her up, a spokesman for M&S also released a statement saying, “Lily Cole is a popular, high-profile model who is very much in demand, and this is one of the key reasons why we have chosen to work with her. It’s entirely her own choice as to what other work she accepts and we would not wish to interfere with her career.”

In a way, Lily Cole's reasoning is not bad when she poses for French Playboy and declares, “This is not just any nude photo, it’s art!” It's not wrong to pose nude on magazines or on any other forms of art. However, fashion models should also be cautious as to what company they're posing for. For one, nude modeling is art but it is one of the most common means of sexual exploitation.

Tennis Player Ashley Harkleroad Poses For Playboy

American Tennis Player Ashley Harkleroad has posed for the top international men's magazine, Playboy, while she was hospitalized some months ago for cyst on her ovaries.

The photoshoot, according to the 22-year old Ashley Harkleroad, is first sexy pictorial of a tennis player for the magazine, following American swimmer Amanda Beard who bared all for the cameras.

"I was just lying there in hospital for three weeks, and an offer came to me. I thought about it and it was something that I did. I'm proud of my body" says the blonde tennis player.

"I stay in shape and try to stay fit. I'm just trying to represent a female athlete and her body. That can be sexy too. It's no big deal."

Ashley Harkleroad represented the US in the French Open but was knocked out by Serena Williams on Sunday.

It was Serena Williams who backed Ashley Harkleroad's decision to pose for Playboy. "I do appreciate that magazine. I think Hugh Hefner is a great businessman, and he has a niche that he just did really amazing in," says Serena.

"I'm happy for her if that's what she wanted to do. It takes a lot of courage. And whether I'm courageous enough, I don't know, but it's great for someone to be so courageous and tough."

The pose of the tennis player Ashley Harkleroad will appear in the August edition of Playboy.
