  • Kendra Wilkinson Birthday Karaoke With Hank Baskett, Michael Strahan, and Urkel [Pics]

    Kendra Wilkinson is flying high. With a popular reality TV show gig on Marriage Boot Camp, a weekend of trending news on her name, and a newly-revitalized relationship with her husband, the former Playboy Bunny is doing well.

    Kendra caught lots of attention this week, but only some of it was due to episodes of Marriage Boot Camp. Folks who read news rather than just watching TV know that Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett are doing great now. The reality TV crowd will catch up soon enough.

    Kendra’s biggest story this week is due to Holly Madison’s new book called Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny. It details the time Kendra, Holly, and Bridget Marquardt spent in the Playboy Mansion as Hugh Hefner’s three girlfriends.

    Holly Madison was pretty brutal about Kendra, calling her “the fakest person I’ve ever met.”

    According to Madison, the last exchange between her and Kendra was not pretty.

    Madison wrote, “Kendra had apparently given an interview to a tabloid explaining that she wasn’t friends with either [myself or Bridget Marquardt] as if she were somehow better than everyone else… Of course I wasn’t going to stoop to her level and address this only on social media, so I decided to text her how I truly felt: that she was a coward and that she tried to act like the ‘real’ girl on TV, but she’s the fakest person I’ve ever met — and that if she had a problem with me, she should have confronted me like an adult instead of just going silent.”

    Madison says Kendra Wilkinson responded with:

    “WHO ARE YOU???? I DON’T EVEN KNOW YOU! WE WERE NEVER FRIENDS. IT WAS ALL JUST WORK.”

    “After that, I deleted her number from my phone,” Madison says. “Kendra and I haven’t spoken since, and I have to say, I don’t miss her.”

    But Kendra seems to be taking Madison’s comments in stride. She celebrated her 30th birthday recently, and she is proud of what shape she and her life are in.

    On her birthday, Kendra posted to Instagram, saying:

    “I’m never looking back and I’m going to enter the next 10 years with my head up high, forgiveness in my heart and domination in my eyes. LOL….Goodbye 20s and HELLO 30s!!!!!! My 20s were just a warm up…”

    She could be referring to Hank Baskett’s infidelity with that post. Or she could be thinking about Madison’s new book. Or both.

    For her birthday, Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett did some karaoke. Lots of people do that on their birthday. But Kendra Wilkinson brought some VIP company to the club.

    Hank Baskett posted to Instagram:

    I’m really thinking about taking our #karaoke team consisting of me, @kendra_wilkinson_baskett, @mrjaygalvin, @michaelstrahan and @jaleelwhite on the road. #shuttheplacedown last night for Kendra’s birthday! #GoodTimes with #GreatPeople #FriendsInLowPlaces

    Check that list out. It includes Michael Strahan and Jaleel White — that’s Urkel from TV’s Family Matters.

    But Hank Baskett did not tag everyone in attendance. Jay Galvin had a longer list of those who joined Kendra Wilkinson for karaoke.

    mrjaygalvinJust got #home from #karaoke with @latreal_mitchell @kendra_wilkinson_baskett @hank_baskett @jaleelwhite @jwoww @souleschris @michaelstrahan @officialanneburrell my #concert will be #epic

    That list includes Jersey Shore‘s JWOWW, The Bachelor‘s Chris Soules, celebrity trainer Latreal Mitchell, and celebrity chef Anne Burrell.

    In response to Jay Galvin’s post, Kendra Wilkinson commented:

    “LMAOOO imagine how I felt this morning… Best birthday EVER!!”

    Apparently there was some “Push It” in the karaoke lineup. Kendra commented:

    “salt salt salt salt n pepa here”

  • Jaleel White Loses Dance Duel To Roshon Fegan (DWTS)

    This season (Season 14) of Dancing With the Stars is seeming to be very cutthroat, especially with the bar being raised very high. Eliminated last night during the results (Week 7), Jaleel White, well-known actor and comedian (mostly known as Family Matters‘ Steve Urkel) lost the final dance battle against his opponent Roshon Fegan, a Disney Channel star.

    Jaleel White (who was paired with Australian dancer Kym Johnson) has experienced a bumpy ride during this season, overcoming a roller coaster of judges comments from week to week. This week, Jaleel ended up in the bottom two finalists again, and was no stranger to this season’s introduced dance duel, where the bottom two couples dance side by side simultaneously to impress the judges for them to stay.

    To view week 7’s dance duel (Rumba) between Jaleel White and Roshon Fegan, please view the YouTube video below.

    From a dance technique perspective, I do have to agree with the judges that Roshon (and partner Chelsie Hightower) did have a stronger, more content-filled, and fluid Rumba than Jaleel and Kym, even though there was some improvement with Jaleel’s arms and lines (as noted in the video clip).

    The Twitterverse has been active in reacting to Jaleel’s departure from this season, and I have provided some of their reactions below for you to view.

    Why can’t Jaleel White just accept that if he dressed and danced as Steve Urkel he’d win #dwts?(image) 10 minutes ago via web ·  Reply ·  Retweet ·  Favorite · powered by @socialditto

    I can’t believe Jaleel White was eliminated before Melissa Gilbert. She is horrible. #DWTS(image) 17 hours ago via Tweetbot for iOS ·  Reply ·  Retweet ·  Favorite · powered by @socialditto

  • Gavin DeGraw Loses to Jaleel White – DWTS Dance Duel

    In last night’s (Tuesday, April 17th) Dancing With the Stars Season 14 results show, America’s #1 dancing reality show introduced something that has never been done in the fourteen seasons it has been on the air, a dance duel. The purpose of this newly integrated dance duel is for the bottom two couples to dance off against each other on the stage at the same time. This event is seen as a “second chance” to impress the judges with their moves and to prove why they should be remaining in the competition. The judges will be heavily critiquing the dance choreography and technique during the duel.

    With last night’s first ever dance duel, the bottom two couples (designed by judge scores and viewer votes) were singer Gavin DeGraw with partner his Karina Smirnoff, along with actor/comedian Jaleel White and his partner Kym Johnson. The couples danced a Cha Cha to the song “Edge of Glory” by Lady GaGa at the same time, and were shown on a split screen so that the viewers can compare the couples side by side. To see last night’s dance duel, I have provided a YouTube video of the event below.

    From my observations, Jaleel and Kym delivered a stronger Cha Cha performance than Gavin and Karina, included more content, and Jaleel also demonstrated quality Latin hip action that is a must-have in Cha Cha. The judges saw these characteristics as well and awarded Jaleel and Kym to return next week, rendering Gavin and Karina this week’s couple to go home.

    The Twitter community has been active with mixed reactions pertaining to the outcome of this dance duel:

  • Steve Urkel Beat the Mother of his Child?

    Steve Urkel Beat the Mother of his Child?

    Jaleel White’s career has been resuscitated with his participation in Dancing with the Stars but all that may end. White’s ex-girlfriend Bridget Hardy claims that he physically assaulted her in 2010. The dancing frontrunner claims that he never hit Hardy “across the chest” or “pushed ‘her’ into the toilet.”

    Best known for his role as Steve Urkel, the celebrity dancer says that he is devastated: “When you’re doing well in life, it’s par for the course certain individuals will try and knock you down. When the individual is also the mother of your only child it is particularly hurtful.”

    Hardy and White are currently in the midst of a child custody suit over their two-year-old daughter.

    White posted on his Twitter account that he is fox-trotting for his daughter:

    Jaleel White is often the last person one would think of as abusive. His character was always sweet, gentle, and soft-spoken — and his alter ego, Stefan Urquelle, was absolutely charming. He often took more flack from the ladies and practically groveled at their feet.

    Could White have the need in his personal life to reverse the powerplay that he experienced throughout his dweeb role?
