Taylor Armstrong continues to explain intimate details regarding her husband’s suicide. Usher is being accused of ripping off someone else’s song. Maggie Gyllenhaal says she lends vibrators to her friends. ….. What?! Yeah, Thursday morning gossip will have you asking that question a lot.

• No offense, but … Russell Armstrong committed suicide well over a month ago, yet his wife Taylor Armstrong is still making media rounds as if it happened yesterday. Read what she told ET in a recent interview: “I’m sure a lot of people won’t understand this, but I asked the emergency workers if I could go in and hug him before they took him away, but they wouldn’t let me,” Taylor says, wiping away tears. “I just felt like I needed to see him one last time, but they wouldn’t let me.” She even goes on to explain how she broke the sad news to her 5-year-old daughter. She basically lied, and nothing is wrong with that. The kid is 5. It’s hard to tell a 5-year-old ‘Daddy killed himself.’ But still, why is she telling the whole world all of these personal and very private details about something so personal … and private??? She said, “As I was laying in the street screaming, I realized that my little girl was there and I had to pull it together to get her out of thereI just told her that daddy got sick and he died. [I told her] we could pick a star in the sky and it could be daddy, and that she could talk to him every night.” WTF? Someone please get this woman a seat and kindly tell her ass to make friends with it. That is all. [ET]
• Some non-famous guy is accusing Usher of stealing a song from him. Apparently, Usher “used” some material from said non-famous guy, who really wishes he were famous, like Usher, in his hit single “Burn.” (You know, that song EVERYONE loves from that “Confessions” album EVERYONE loves?) After a quick listen to that non-famous guy’s song, we hear NO similarities. None. Not even one. But still, that really un-famous guy got a judge to approve his case and is suing Usher!Imagine that. A non-famous person suing a very famous person, claiming that the famous person “stole” from them, and using some old, tired song that no one has ever heard of as some sort of “proof.” That has like, NEVER happened before. Has it? [Billboard]
• Trey Songz’ manager Kevin Liles and his wife Erika just had a baby. Congrats! [NYP]
• BET considers LL Cool J to be a Hip-Hop icon, so they’re giving him their prestigious “I Am Hip-Hop Icon” award at the 2011 BET Hip-Hop Awards next month. Okay? Get it? Got it? Good. Mr. Cool J will accept his award and lick his lips about 101 times on October 1st in Atlanta. [Star Pulse]
• Lindsay Lohan has finally found a job! And it doesn’t having anything to do with “blow” or “hand.” You know, the kinds of jobs Lilo is used to. Good for her for stepping outside of her comfort zone! [Radar]
• Some actress we’ve never heard of named Maggie Gyllenhaal (Sorry. We didn’t know Jake Gyllenhaal had a sister who acts. Shoot us.) is starring in a movie about the invention of vibrators called “Hysteria.” (We are so not joking.) And she says she was bombarded with so many of the female sex toys during shooting, that she now has enough to share amongst her friends: “By the time I finished the movie I’d been sent maybe 15 vibrators by different people in London with vibrator stores. It was a pleasant surprise. So I have this incredible collection, and I actually use like one or two of them. I lend them to my friends, and they’ll take them for six months at a time.” We’ve heard of women sharing clothes, shoes and even boyfriends. But sharing a sex toy is taking sh*t too far. TOO GOT DAMN FAR! [Contact]
• Kendra Wilkinson has a confession! “Hank and I had sex on a jet ski in Cabo. It was awesome… That’s the fun of it. Sex is sex… I’m not a PDA person, but I like sex in cars and stuff!” Oh … okay. [US]
• Speaking of attention whores. Levi Johnston (You remember Bristol Palin’s baby daddy, right?) is back with more news about that damn Palin family. Turns out, Bristol got pregnant on purpose just to spite her evil mom Sarah Palin. Levi told Wendy Williams in an interview that aired Wednesday: “Sarah had Trig and that really sparked [Bristol] to have a child. We previously talked about it, but that’s what really got her going on it. She was really jealous. And that’s what sparked us to have a child.” He then goes on to talk about how they had sex and other extremely personal details, like how her parents forced them to get engaged. Yada Yada Yada Yada Yadaya … Ya! GOT DAMMIT! Shut the F**K UP Levi! [THR]
• Some of the folks over at CBS say that Ashton Kutcher is “a really nice guy. Just a nice guy. And he’s OK on set. He gets the job done … that’s what we all want.” But ……….. “He’s just not as funny as Charlie. Not that we’d want Charlie back if you doubled our salaries, [but the show] just isn’t the same anymore. [Ashton Kutcher is a] safe replacement.”That sounds like a really really nice way of saying, “We want Charlie back.” And after seeing that Season 9 premiere Monday night, we kinda do too. **Insert sad face here** [Celebrity-Gossip]

Ray J, Vanessa Hudgens, Ron Artest and Shanell were among the celebrities who attended In Touch Weekly’s Icons & Idols 4th Annual Post-VMA party Sunday night (Aug 28) in West Hollywood.

Other celebs spotted at the event were Kendra Wilkinson, Ashley Tisdale, Kat Deluna and Cheryl Burke.

Check out the pics below:

Kendra Wilkinson is still protective of Hugh Hefner…

During a recent interview with US Weekly, Kendra called Crystal Harris‘ break-up from Hef “cruel.”

“Look, she agreed to get married to him. When I was with Hef, he knew that we were friends. I knew that we were friends, but [Crystal] said she wanted to get married and then backstabbed him to that level? That’s like cruel.”

However, Wilkinson strongly believes that Hef will have no problem bouncing back from this situation … and has plenty more hoes in the line-up.

“Hef’s dealt with a lot more problems than this. I don’t think this one [twenty-something] year old girl is going to get in the way of Hugh Hefner. He’s dealt with other problems, and I don’t think he’s running low on hoes!”

At least somebody has Hef’s back on this one … never trust a hoe.

Lots of celebrities showed up on the red carpet of the 2011 Espy Awards in Los Angeles Wednesday (Jul 13).

Among the big names who posed for pics as they arrived at the Nokia Theater were Justin Bieber, Serena Williams, Matt Kemp, Maria Sharapova, Jason Kidd, Kerry Washington, Hank Baskett and Kendra Wilkson, and plenty more.

Check out over 20+ pics of celebs arriving at the 2011 Espy Awards below:

Kendra Wilkinson is ready to have another baby with husband Hank Baskett!

The former Playmate recently revealed to E! Online that one isn’t enough.

“We have so much love to give. We’re just loving baby Hank so much. We’re raising him well, teaching him everything he needs to be taught. But yeah, I really feel like it’s naturally time for another one soon. I really do.”

Fresh off her elimination on Dancing with the Stars,  Kendra says that she and Hank are in the process of “practicing” to have another tiny tot to join baby Hank.

“We’re practicing for No. 2. Why not? Just one more would be great. And I wouldn’t mind having No. 2…soon!”

Hey Kendra – - if Hank ever has to call out of  ”practice”  - -just know you have a ready and willing replacement RIGHT HERE!!

“Dancing with the Stars” pro dancer Cheryl Burke celebrated her birthday with the cast of the hit ABC dance competitions series Monday night (May 2) at the Boho Restaurant in Hollywood, California. Professional ballroom dancers Anna Trebunskaya and Lacey Schwimmer (pictured above), as well as DWTS contestants Kendra Wilkinson and Kirstie Alley were all in attendance at the private party

Check out a few pics below:

There’s another one…

Just a few months after her last sex tape was released, “DWTS” contestant Kendra Wilkinson will be starring in a brand new flick with an ex-girlfriend.

According to a source, the tape is about 45 minutes long and doesn’t leave ANYTHING to the imagination.

“Kendra has sex in the video with Taryn Ryan. They were friends and were hanging out together, with their boyfriends. It’s a long tape, about 45 minutes. And there is nothing left to the imagination.”

It was also recorded in night vision and is being compared to Paris Hilton’s famous porn tape.

“Kendra and Taryn started fooling around and then Kendra wanted the light turned off. But the camera that was recording them had night vision, so it looks like the Paris Hilton porn tape. Everything is completely clear.

No word just yet on when the tape will drop….but we will definitely keep you informed!

Since she did devote quite some time to Hugh Hefner (about 4 years to be exact), it’s kind of understandable that playmate turned reality star Kendra Wilkinson expected a wedding invite from her former boyfriend. But she hasn’t, and she’s “really pissed off about it.”

“I haven’t gotten my save the date yet,” Kendra told E!. “I’m not joking, I’m really pissed off about it.”

Hefner is set to marry his  24-year-old fiance Crystal Harris on June 18th at the Playboy Mansion, and Kendra is not the only ex-girlfriend who feels shafted by Hugh. Kendra’s fellow E! reality star Holly Madison, who split with Hugh when he wouldn’t settle down with her, has also expressed her hurt:

“It was definitely awkward, but good. A lot of people congratulated him on Twitter, but for me, it was such a personal thing. I wanted to go there.”

Cheer up Kendra. At least you’re  happily married to NFL player Hank Baskett with a precious  little boy and a blossoming career on “Dancing With The Stars!”

This should be good! ABC recently unveiled the 10 contestants for the upcoming 12th season of  Dancing With The Stars.

See who made the cut below:

The notable cast will include Playboy Playmate-turned-E! star Kendra Wilkinson, the original “Karate Kid” Ralph Macchio and “Look Who’s Talking” star Kirstie Alley.

Other notable contestants include “Queen Of All Media” Wendy Williams, boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard, NFL superstar Hines Ward, Czech model Petra Nemcova, former WWE champion turned author Chris Jericho, “Loveline” personality Mike Catherwood, rapper Romeo and Disney star Chelsea Kane.

The new season of Dancing With The Stars kicks off March 21st on ABC!

Your thoughts on the new cast?

It appears that much hasn’t changed with Kendra Wilkinson…

According to RadarOnline, the reality star has ANOTHER sex tape coming out….however this time it’s straight girl-on-girl action!

Peep the details below:

Kendra Wilkinson is proof that the past is never buried — when it’s on video. A new sex tape featuring Kendra with a girlfriend is on its way to being sold publicly, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively. Less than a year after Kendra’s home-made sex tape with an ex boyfriend became an instant $ucce$$, the ex-Girl Next Door is starring with another girl in a tape shot approximately the same time at the first one.

“Kendra has sex in the video with Taryn Ryan,” a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “They were friends and were hanging out together, with their boyfriends. It’s a long tape, about 45 minutes. And there is nothing left to the imagination.”

Ironically, the tape was shot by Justin Frye, Kendra’s ex boyfriend and partner in last year’s sex tape. Justin shot hours of tapes of Kendra having sex and last year Vivid had a huge hit with the first release. Now the details are being worked out for the release of the new tape. And although Kendra publicly assailed the release of the first sex tape, as RadarOnline.com exclusively reported she secretly signed off on the deal and received a hefty payday.

Now, she stands to profit again from her newfound status as a reality porn star. “Kendra and Taryn started fooling around and then Kendra wanted the light turned off,” the source told RadarOnline.com. “But the camera that was recording them had night vision, so it looks like the Paris Hilton porn tape. Everything is completely clear. The girls are laughing at first, and the guys are encouraging them to kiss each other. They started kissing while giggling and then things got hotter.” The tape is explicit, the source said.

RadarOnline.com was first to report that Kendra formed a company to sell a sex tape while she was living in the Playboy mansion, but that deal never went through. When Vivid released her sex tape last year, Kendra got a large up-front fee and a percentage of sales. Her new costar Ryan did not return RadarOnline.com’s calls for comment. Taryn’s husband told RadarOnline.com that he did not want to comment on the situation.

Thoughts?

Celebs were front and center last Wednesday night (Jan 5) as they attended the Covergirl 50th Anniversary Celebration at BOA Steakhouse in West Hollywood, CA.

Some of the famous faces who walked the red carpet and were spotted inside the shindig were Queen Latifah, Taylor Swift, Raven Symone, Hank Baskett & his wife Kendra Wilkinson, Ellen DeGeneres & her wife Portia de Rossi, and more.

Kendra Wilkinson loves to get freaky with her man!

In a recent interview with PEOPLE magazine, Kendra revealed that she and her husband Hank Baskett are down for quickies.

“One word: quickies! I’m all about those quickies. Sometimes it’s good to have some foreplay and all that, but quickies – I’m all about those.”

But that’s not all Kendra admires Hank for….who she also credits for being a real man who is not afraid to show his softer side.

“Hank’s not ashamed to be a man. Men out there nowadays, they’re ashamed. They’re ashamed to cry, they’re ashamed to do some dishes, they’re ashamed to cook. Hank took the baby out in a stroller one day in Philadelphia. As he was strolling him, people came up to him and said, ‘Wow, you’re a real man.’ There are guys out there that will do that, but it’s rare to see that. Hank’s not ashamed. He’s a real man. He’s a guy who will wear pink and not be ashamed of it. He’s not ashamed to do anything.”

We’re not surprised by any of this………

Catch Kendra and her husband every Sunday night on E!

The 2010 ESPY Awards were held yesterday (Wed. Jul 14) in Los Angeles, CA. And celebs like Amber Rose, Mario (who brought along his new girlfriend Dez), Terrell Owens, Chris Bosh, Kenyon Martin, Hank Baskett & Kendra Wilkinson, Zac Efron and more all walked the red carpet before making their way into the Nokia Theater L.A. Live for the ESPYs, which, hosted by sports network ESPN, honors the best athletes and teams in the world of sports. Reggie Bush also attended the Espys Wednesday evening, but chose not to arrive to the show with his rumored new girlfriend Amber Rose, who made her presence known on the red carpet with a bright yellow dress.

The 2010 Espys also featured a performance from singer Janelle Monae, who also participated in a funny skit with actor/comedian Will Ferrell (equipped with one of those loud, annoying vuvuzelas). Check out 20+ pictures from the 2010 Espy Awards in Los Angeles at the Nokia Theater L.A. Live below and when you continue reading…

Kendra Wilkinson says this whole sex tape ordeal is hitting her hard, but she’s thankful her husband Hank Bassett has been supportive through everything.

“He’s doing a good job because he’s understanding,” the reality star, 24, says about her NFL player husband of one year. “He’s like, ‘Kendra, we just have to hold our heads high because, yeah, we’re going to get attacked, but we can’t run.”

In a sneak peek of her E! show Kendra May 31 season finale, Wilkinson, who reportedly made the tape with an ex-boyfriend when she was 18, hopes the public won’t judge her based on actions from six years ago. “That was me, but that’s not me now,” says the former Playboy Playmate, now mom to 5-month-old Hank Baskett IV. “It broke my heart because how can [someone] do that when I have a baby?” she says in the preview clip posted on E! Online. “It just sucks. It’s the hardest thing to deal with right now.”

For now, she’s leaning on Baskett, who told her, “We have to hold hands and walk through this and face this fact,” for strength. “It’s going to be really hard,” she says. “It’s going to probably be the hardest time of our lives.”

PEOPLE

This of course contradicts everything that’s rumored to be going on behind the scenes. Allegedly, Kendra received close to $700,000 before the tape even went out. Rumors also state that she and Vivid Entertainment, the company distributing and profiting from the 20 hours of footage sold to them by her ex boyfriend, have a deal worked out that she gets ups to 50% of sales. And there will be more tapes to come.

But it’s not all bad. Who knows? Maybe she can spin this as good as some other well-known sex tape victims (like Kim Kardashian for instance) and create some decent relevancy for herself. It’s out already out there, might as well make the best of it! But you’ve gotta wonder how she’s gonna explain this to Hank Jr. when he finds his mommy’s goodies all over the Internet when he looks up her name in Google :-/

Okay, so we’ve been talking about the Kendra Wilkinson sex tape for the past couple of weeks, and today we were finally able to get our hands on a 10 minute clip of it!

Ladies and Gentleman without further ado… here goes the former Playboy playmate at her best! Check out a 10 minute clip of the newly released “Kendra Exposed” DVD below:

WARNING: YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OR OLDER TO VIEW!!

Some more details regarding Kendra Wilkinson‘s soon-to-be-released sex tape have emerged! It’s now being said that Kendra will be paid an impressive $680,000 UP FRONT for the explicit flick, which will be distributed by Vivid Entertainment. In addition, the former Playboy Playmate will receive up to 50 percent of sales once it has been released to the masses. Sources say the first check will be sent out this week.

But boy oh boy, that’s not even the jist of the new ish going on with this here sex tape.

The NEW NEW word is that there will be many more Kendra sex tapes to come!

Sources close to Radar Online confirmed that Kendra’s ex boyfriend Justin Frye sold as many as 20 tapes and hours and hours of content. Frye is pretty much behind the entire ordeal and received $100,000 for selling the tapes to Vivid, who will release several money-making sequals to the Kendra Exposed DVD, which will be released sometime this week. And in addition to his first pay-out, he, much like Kendra, will get a percentage of sales, though much smaller and the numbers will vary depending on the level of sales.

But that’s not all either!

Over the course of Kendra and Justin’s nearly 5-year relationship, he had a camera and accompanying stripper pole set up in their bedroom and recorded Kendra (with her permission, of course) doing all kind of wild, kinky things … including her having sex with other women!

In one video, Kendra’s co-star is a woman named Taryn. RadarOnline.com has also viewed still images reportedly taken from another scene, which shows Kendra straddling another woman, who is wearing skimpy lingerie. “There are hours of tape and it’s all high quality, too,” one source told RadarOnline.com. “Justin was more than an amateur cameraman. He had experience filming street biking and this is some of the gnarliest tape footage in terms of quality that anybody has ever seen, ever.”

Vivid also claims that Kendra’s sex tape has the absolute highest number of presales over ANY celebrity sex tapes they’ve distributed over the years, including Kim Kardashian‘s sex tape with Ray J and Paris Hilton‘s “1 Night in Paris” flick, which sold over 1 million copies.

And the drama surrounding reality star Kendra Wilkinson‘s sex tape continues…

The latest word is that the release of the Rated X flick has been postponed by Vivid Entertainment while they resolve a few legal issues behind the scenes. Kendra is reportedly fighting to halt the sex tape’s release altogether, though the cover of the DVD, aptly titled “Kendra Exposed,” has already been leaked (above).

The tape was recorded back in 2005 when the former playboy playmate was merely 18-years-old, long before she met her husband Hank Bassett. The couple, who are mother and father to 5-month-old Hank IV, are said to be at odds with each other pending the release of the explicit tape.

Meanwhile, Radar Online is now reporting that even though Kendra is publicly against the release of the tape, the TV star is somehow in the running to receive up to 50% of the sales generated if it gets released.

Despite the fact that Kendra has publicly protested the upcoming release of the explicit bedroom video, a RadarOnline.com investigation has uncovered the secret financial deal that could make her millions of dollars. What’s more, RadarOnline.com is exclusively revealing that the man in the tape is the reality television star’s ex-boyfriend Justin Frye, who is a Mixed Martial Arts fighter. Frye was paid $100,000 by Vivid for the tape, a source with knowledge of the situation told RadarOnline.com exclusively.

“They have cut a deal,” our source said about both Kendra and Justin, clarifying that they cut separate deals with the company releasing the tape. Kendra publicly decried the upcoming release of the sex tape but now is in position to earn a fortune from it, the source revealed. A RadarOnline.com investigation has uncovered the hidden deals that have led to the upcoming release of Kendra’s sex tape. Frye initiated the deal by shopping the sex tape, our source revealed. He sold it for $100,000 and as that deal was concluded , Kendra was later brought on board. Faced with Vivid releasing the film it has titled Kendra Exposed, the former Girls Next Door star realized she could potentially make a fortune from its distribution and a financial agreement was reached, according to the source.

Frye, 28, and Kendra, 24, started dating when she was still in high school. Shortly after she graduated she moved into the Playboy Mansion and became part of The Girls Next Door. “Justin had a tripod in his bedroom for the camera and a stripper pole in the apartment,” revealed the source. “Kendra definitely was not shy about being in these tapes. There are tapes of Kendra in really compromising positions … doing a lot of embarrassing things.”

When Kendra moved out, she simply left the tapes behind. “It was a bad break-up… as soon as Hef took her, she was gone,” added our source. “But Justin knew what he had i and obviously waited for the optimum moment to sell it. He waited until Kendra’s fame hit a certain level… he was striking while the iron is hot, if you like. This was a well orchestrated plan.”

In 2008, Kendra made attempts to sell her own sex tape, as RadarOnline.com has previously revealed. She retained a lawyer and formed Home Run Productions, LLC in November of that year for the potential sale. But documentation viewed by RadarOnline.com specified the Hugh Hefner had to approve the deal. No deal was ever made. But before she found Playboy fame, she shot several sex tapes with Frye while they were living in San Diego together.

Two years later, an enterprising Frye masterminded his payday, according to the source. The tape will likely allow both “stars” to hit the jackpot.

RADAR ONLINE

TV personality Kendra Wilkinson has found herself in the spotlight, however this time it isn’t about her E! reality show “Kendra.” The former model and girlfriend of Hugh Heffner will be starring in a sex tape of her own set to be released soon by Vivid Entertainment, the largest producer of adult films.

According to sources, the tape was recorded back in 2005 and covers the former playmate in a very sexually explicit manner. A statement was made by her attorneys regarding the release of the film: “Any exploitation of the video would be a gross violation of Miss Wilkinson’s constitutional and common law rights of privacy.”

It has also been stated that the pending release of the film has caused tensions between Wilkinson and her husband NFL player Hank Baskett to the point of a possible break-up.

Hey, you know what they always say: once a freak always a freak! Hank should have known from the beginning when he was getting into. She was a former playboy playmate for Christ sake!
