Celebrity Wife Swap premieres new season

During the season premiere of ‘Celebrity Wife Swap’ on ABC Tuesday night, Kate Gosselin traded places with Kendra Wilkinson for a week.

If you were thinking that the former ‘Kate Plus 8′ celeb got the better end of the deal … you’d be correct.

Former NFL player Hank Baskett welcomed his temporary reality wife into his Los Angeles home and promptly pampered her … just as he has always done for his former ‘Playboy’ model wife.

Kendra, 27, was in for a real workout when she arrived in Pennsylvania to spend the week looking after Kate’s twin 12-year-old daughters Mady and Cara and eight-year-old sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel.

Midway through their stay, each mom got to change things up from the norm.  Kate, 37, pushed Hank aside and put Little Hank, 2, through his paces, insisting politely but firmly that the boy feed himself and put his toys away.

Kendra slacked up on Kate’s  comprehensive chore chart, opting to let the kids play more and eat their meals picnic style on the floor.

Before going back to their respective families, Kate and Kendra sat down to compare notes and pass along some words of wisdom.  Wilkinson wanted supermom Kate to lighten up with her eight kids and not be such a drill sergeant.  Kate wanted hands-off mom Kendra to start focusing more on her family and less on her ‘girls gotta party’ mentality.

In the interest of full disclosure,  this writer was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was far more entertaining than anything Gosselin has previously done, with zero evidence of her normal self absorption that can suck the life out of a room in no time.

Check out a clip during Kendra’s floor picnic that got a little crazy:

Kendra Wilkinson practicing for Splash

While practicing for the new reality diving competition show, “Splash,” Kendra Wilkinson loses her cool, screaming and yelling at her personal trainer, gold medalist Greg Louganis.

The 27-year-old former Hugh Hefner girlfriend and Playboy model was training in Los Angeles Friday afternoon, when she  appeared to be quite angry as she animatedly gestured with her arms.

Other contestents on the new reality diving show include former NBA player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Louie Anderson, Nicole Eggert, Keshia Knight Pulliam, and Katherine Webb.

Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson and former NFL player Hank Baskett suffered a scare Wednesday when their son Hank IV mysteriously passed out at home.

The family put in a 911 call after their 2-year-old child lost consciousness after running around.  By the time emergency responders arrived little Hank was already coming around.

The young boy was transported to a nearby hospital where he was examined in the ER.  A doctor determined he had simply fainted after becoming over-heated and they quickly sent the youngster home with a clean bill of health.

Dare we suggest this trio is one of the most photogenic families in Hollywood?

Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett will be joining WE TV with a new reality show Kendra On Top.  The project is set to premiere this summer.

The WE network has ordered 14 episodes that will include 12 half-hour segments plus one-hour season premiere and finale broadcasts.

Kendra and her NFL free agent husband Hank Baskett and little Hank, 2, will begin filming in Los Angeles shortly with a focus on “motherhood, parenthood, and wifehood.”

The former Playboy model is thrilled with the new television opportunity.  She admits, “I felt like my life was injected with steroids.  I’m bigger, I’m better.  I’m the best person, the best parent.  I want to be happier, more fulfilled.  I want to be on TOP.”

It appears that Kendra is decidedly high on life …

Aqua is definitely Kendra Wilkinson‘s color.  The reality star spent the afternoon in Vegas hosting a soldout MGM Grand poolside party at Wet Republic.

The former Playboy playmate and girlfriend of Hugh Hefner is now happily married to wide receiver Hank Baskett, a former NFL player who recently joined the UFL.  They have a son Hank IV, who will turn two in December.

Kendra has stepped it up a notch and really glammed-up her image.  We thought she looked stunning.
