There are no hard feelings between Hugh Hefner and NFL star Hank Baskett, who is engaged to Hef’s onetime gal pal, Playboy bunny Kendra Wilkinson.

“Hef is like a father to her so he’s going to be the one to give her away,” Baskett told an ABC affiliate in Philadelphia Tuesday. “That’s why I wanted his blessings and her mom’s blessing.”

Hefner, who starred with Wilkinson in the reality show The Girls Next Door, broke the news of Wilkinson’s engagement to the Philadelphia Eagles player earlier this month.

Baskett complimented his bride-to-be for her compassion, saying, “Kendra has one of the biggest hearts and that’s one of the things that really drew me to her.”

As for what keeps them together, “Both of us like to stay home and wear sweats [more] than go out and party,” says Baskett. “Ever since I met her, this is the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. And every day she does something else that makes me fall in love with her.”

As you may know it has been rumored of Hugh Hefner’s 3 playmate girlfriends leaving him. Hef was quoted saying,

“It’s all rumors without question. We have just completed our fifth season (of “Girls Next Door”) and we’re all still together and have just signed on to a sixth season, which we start filming in the new year,” Hefner said at last week’s Awards. However, a source has said you may be seeing some new faces.

“There have been a lot of new girls on the scene and big changes are happening,” said our source. “Holly, Bridget and Kendra have made no secret of the fact they want to get married and have babies and they aren’t getting any younger.”

23-year-old Kendra was spotted  letting loose at a nightclub in The Bahamas, along with fellow Playmate Brittany Binger. We’re told Wilkinson kept the crowd pumped all night and was acting like “a single girl.”

Hugh Hefner’s three girlfriends are like the “Spice Girls”.

The 82-year-old Playboy founder has three live-in-lovers - Kendra Wilkinson, 23, Holly Madison, 28, and Bridget Marquardt, 34 - and Kendra claims it is the girls’ differences which help the quartet stay close.

She said: “If we all wanted the same thing it wouldn’t have worked, because that’s where all the drama would have started, but we’re like the Spice Girls - I’m the sporty one.

“We are on different roads and they don’t intersect. We don’t spend time together every day - girls just can’t do that.”

Kendra also claimed the group stay close by regularly spending time apart.

She added to Fox News: “We are three very different people - we’re doing very different things with our lives and we don’t step on each other’s toes.”

Kendra also hinted her time as one of Hugh’s lovers might be coming to an end because she feels ready to adopt a more orthodox lifestyle.

LOS ANGELES — You would assume that as Hugh Hefner ’s girlfriend, a former body-painted Playboy party promoter and a frequently featured model in the men’s magazine, Kendra Wilkinson would be pretty comfortable with baring her body. But it turns out that the “Girl Next Door” is terrified of taking it all off.

“I’m really, really self-conscious, believe or not,” she told Pop Tarts. “I get so nervous and shy. Even though I’m this crazy party girl, taking my clothes off really scares me.”

But being “uncomfortable” flashing the flesh isn’t the only surprise coming from the bubbly blonde. She also said that Hef is the one with all the “energy,” bouncing from place to place for the filming of their E! reality show.

“He [Hef] is always pushing us along when we’re tired,” she said with a laugh.

So while Wilkinson is busy hiding her itty bitty bod, fellow Hef girlfriend Bridget Marquardt has been whipping hers into shape quite, er, unconventionally.

“I flip off the trapeze bar and swing up and catch it again. It’s really fun and a really intense workout,” she said. “Trapeze gets the heart rate right up.”

Maybe it’s just the socks and hat that she has trouble taking off.

Playboy boss HUGH HEFNER’s girlfriends have upset officials in Monte Carlo, Monaco after illegally entering royal grounds without permission.

Pretty blondes Kendra, Holly and Bridgette were promoting their reality TV Show The Girls Next Door at the Monte Carlo Television Festival when they took time off to go sightseeing, and found themselves in big trouble.

The ladies smuggled a camera crew into the grounds of Monte Carlo’s Palace and were arrested by local police. Reports suggest the ladies were detained and later released after a warning.

Hefner, who was holidaying with the trio in Monte Carlo, was not part of their palace romp.

The troubled star passed away last night (02.08.07).

Playboy founder Hugh said: “I’m very saddened to learn about Anna Nicole’s passing. She was a dear friend who meant a great deal to the Playboy family and to me personally. My thoughts and prayers are with her friends and loved ones during this difficult time.”

US talk show host Larry King said: “She was a special person, she was an unusual person. She was genuine, she was funny, she had some class. I feel very, very sorry for everybody concerned, but mostly for her daughter Dannielynn.”
The 39-year-old model-turned-actress was once the poster girl for Guess jeans, and starred in “Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult.”

CEO of Guess jeans, Paul Marciano, said: “She had something magic. This is a very tragic and sad day. Personally I feel she did not recover from the loss of her son Daniel who was the love of her life.”
She was working as the spokesmodel for diet pill Trimspa when she died.

CEO of Trimspa, Alex Goen, said: “Today, Anna Nicole Smith’s grief-stricken and tumultuous personal life came to an end. Anna came to our company as a customer, but she departs it as a friend. Anna knew both the joy of giving life, and the heartache of losing a child. We pray that she is granted the peace that eluded her more recent days on earth, and that she finds comfort in the presence of her son, Daniel.”
Anna Nicole also did a lot of work for animal rights group PETA.

PETA released a statement saying: “PETA is extremely upset by the news of Anna Nicole Smith’s untimely death. She was a great friend to animals and used every opportunity to speak out against senseless cruelty. We always thought Anna Nicole was a perfect fit for PETA because, just like us, she not only hated cruelty to animals and loved her dog. It is a tragedy when anyone passes away before their time, but with Anna Nicole, animals have lost a true hero and PETA has lost a good friend. We will miss her.”
