A-Tisket...A-Tasket...A Playmate and a Baskett
Playboy Playmate, Kendra Wilkinson, 23, and Philadelphia Eagles receiver Hank Baskett, 26, are going to tie the knot. According to E!, Baskett beamed her up Seattle's Space Needle last weekend where he proposed to the blonde bombshell.
Wilkinson, of the E! reality show "The Girls Next Door" and formerly one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends, was just recently spotted getting a bite to eat with her future hubby at the Redstone in South Marlton, New Jersey.
Here's some food for thought, how will this new engagement effect Baskett's play tomorrow when the Giants take on the Eagles in Philly?? Keep your eyes open if and when Baskett hauls in a catch, maybe NBC will show some cutaways of his bride to be cheering on her "hero." (what she calls him on her myspace page)
As for the game, more than likely, Kevin Dockery will cover the 6-4, 220-pound wide receiver. In his past three games, Baskett has caught 6 balls for 71 yards and a touchdown. He's not a starter, but he could sneak some yardage here and there. Regardless, I still think running back Brian Westbrook will be the show stopper.
Meanwhile, I'm sure Hefner, 82, is still guessing how he dropped the ball with Wilkinson. But, Hef seems to be okay with the news, in a statement to Access Hollywood, he said:
"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."
No bad feelings I can assume, and how sweet that he will give her away at the wedding. That's just creepy. Plus, WHAT is Baskett thinking getting married at the HOME of her ex-boyfriend?? I mean who does that?! C'mon Hank -- have some respect for yourself!
Perhaps, Hef is losing yardage on the ground, another one of his former girlfriends, Holly Madison, has also moved on. She's been seeing "Mindfreak" illusionist Criss Angel.
Somehow, I still don't think Hef's receiving game will suffer, especially now that's he's got double coverage from 19-year-old twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon.
