Kendra Wilkinson: Happy With Her Size For Now

Kendra Wilkinson got more than just 6th place on Dancing With the Stars -- she got her former body back! "I feel like I look so much better than I used to!" Kendra reveals during her exclusive Life & Style photo shoot. "I was a size 2 or 4 before Dancing With the Stars and now I'm a size 0. My waist is still shrinking! When you work out, you produce so much lactic acid, so my body always looks thicker and more muscular. Now that I've had a couple of weeks off, my body is fuller and looks better. I hope I'll look like this forever. But to be honest, I will never be satisfied!"

Kendra reveals that a combination of Ab Cuts' fat-burning supplements and a diet of natural foods helped to keep her fit. "Ab Cuts and fruits and veggies are my answer," Kendra explains. "When you're eating bad, you end up getting bacteria overgrowth. When you eat well, your body naturally cleanses itself."

The former Girl Next Door publicly struggled to reclaim her famous Playboy body following son Hank's December 2009 birth where she gained 60 pounds of baby weight. Although she's dropped the weight, it hasn't stopped her from thinking about baby no. 2. "I'm worried about gaining the weight back," she says to Life & Style. "but motherhood is worth it."

So what will be different next time? "I've learned my lesson with the first child," Kendra says. "I'm determined to be healthier and treat my body better." Hubby Hank Baskett is just as excited for her new toned body. "Hank loves my new body," she tells Life & Style. "He says this is the most beautiful I've ever looked." And while Hank can't wait to add onto their growing family, for now the two are reconnecting in the bedroom. "He's ready [for another baby], but we're just having fun being young parents to Hank for now," she adds.

Kirstie Alley strips down to leotard on Dancing With The Stars as last three put best foot forward ahead of finale

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Star turn: Kirstie Alley dressed in a long brown dress for her second spin with Maksim Chmerkovskiy on Dancing With The Stars last night


She may have got the lowest score of the night.

But Dancing With The Stars contestant Kirstie Alley certainly turned heads with her raunchy routine, which saw her strip down to a leotard.

The former Cheers actress defied her 60 years as she put on the sultry show during a freestyle dance with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.


Stripped: But there was a purpose to her covered up attire as she soon ripped it off to reveal a skin-tight black leotard


Kirstie initially swept onto the dance floor conservatively dressed in a long brown gown for her second spin with Maksim.

But there was a purpose to her covered up attire - because she wasn't planning on wearing it for long.

The actress proceeded to circle the floor to show off her slimmer frame after ripping off her costume.


Flaunt: The actress circled the dance floor to show off her slimmer frame


But the move failed to wow the judges, who gave her and Maksim 27 points.

The Dancing With The Stars finale is just around the corner, and all three remaining stars certainly brought their A game ahead of it, last night.

With each required to perform two dances, the couples chose two very different styles for both the judges choice and freestyle rounds.

Kym Johnson made a triumphant return to the Dancing With The Stars live performance show last night following a dramatic week which saw her rushed to hospital.

Before she and partner Hines Ward hit the dance floor, viewers witnessed the moment the former NFL star almost ended her dancing career.


In the nauseating scenes, Hines is seen falling on top of Kym, crushing her neck on the hardwood floor underneath her.


Lift: Hines flips Kym over at the start of the move


The 34-year-old's neck look as though it nearly snapped in the death-defying move.

Paramedics were quickly rushed to the scene as she cries out in excruciating pain.


Heavy load: Hines body proved to be too much for Kym as she buckles under his weight


She was then put in a neck-brace after complaining she could not feel her arms and promptly rushed to the emergency room at a nearby hospital.

The accident happened after the two were attempting to do a lift and Hines's 205lbs body came crushing down on his petite professional partner.


Crunch: Kym's neck is almost snapped when the former NFL player crushes her


But astonishingly, not only did the couple perform on Monday night's show, they received a perfect score of 30 for their Argentine Tango.

'I feel blessed and lucky to be ok,' Kym said of the accident.

The dancer blamed herself for the spill as she was trying to push herself to do more and more risky moves for the semi-final show.

Before her injury she said:'We have the salsa and the Argentine Tango. We're so excited about the semis but we have a lot to do.

'Knowing the competition is so close going into the semi finals does change my strategy.

'We're doing lifts that I have never seen before and never seen on Dancing With The Stars before.

'It's pretty scary but it will be worth it. You've got to take risks.'


Forlorn: Hines is left devastated by the incident and feels pangs of guilt


After the accident she consoled Hines, telling him it wasn't his fault he fell on her as the medics attended her.

'It's my fault, I shouldn't have made us do that stupid lift,' she said. 'My God I cant believe this is happening, there's so much to do. Its like a wasted day - we cant afford this.'

Hines was stunned by her professionalism.

'She was more worried about my practice than herself. To be honest I'm not even thinking about the competition now,' he said.


Spectacular: Despite the death defying fall, Kym made a triumphant return to the live performance show as she and Hines took to the floor in their first dance to perform the Argentine Tango


Thrilled: Following the performance Hines and Kym embraced with happiness


Well-rewarded: The pair received a perfect 30 score from all three of the judges


On track: Ralph Macchio was bottom of the leader board after his knee gave out on last week's show but he recovered enough to perform the opening Argentine Tango


Up to the challenge: After receiving her first 10 of the season last week for her Argentine Tango, Kirstie Alley had a lot to live up to when she took to the floor to do the Vienesse Waltz


Not up to scratch: Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas did not fare so well with their Argentine Tango in the first round


Raunchy: The shock of the season's first perfect score had barely subsided when Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff took to the stage for their salsa


Shock: Both were dressed in glamorous 70's garb but nobody could have expected the reaction from Bruno in the East Coast feed, which was heavily edited in the West Coast feed


Near perfect: Kirstie Alley's second performance of the night was the Pasodoble, which she performed in a near flawless way


Facing off: Hines and Kym were up against Ralph and Karina got all three votes from Len, Bruno and Carrie Ann in the first heat


Match up: The second heat of the Cha Cha featured Chelsea and Mark facing Kirstie and partner Maksim, with the judges choosing the former

Kendra: Dancing Taught Me What True Love Is

Kendra Wilkinson learned more than the tango during her time on Dancing with the Stars.

After her surprise elimination Tuesday night, the reality star says she's seeing things from a whole new perspective.

"I had the most amazing time, but after seven weeks of being on Dancing with the Stars, it actually made me think about real life," Wilkinson, 25, tells Parade. "I know what true love is now – and that's, of course, my son and my husband."

Continues Wilkinson: "Every now and then it's cool to get dressed up and glamorous, but at the end of the day, I love what's real and what's real is family ... I'm so happy that I get to be a mom again!"

Wilkinson, who has one son – 1½-year-old Hank Jr. – with her pro-football-playing husband Hank Baskett, has some simple tips for other mothers who might be struggling.

"My number one piece of advice to all moms is to just breathe," she says. "Take time for yourself, even if it's just going to the bathroom and taking a couple breathers. Take at least five minutes out of the day for yourself – you need it, you deserve it."

Wilkinson also pays tribute to one of the major benefits of being on DWTS.

"My body is so great now," she says. "The different dances did different things, like the Latin dances would shape my thighs and my calves and my butt because of all the twisting. And it would make you sweat, that's the real calorie burner right there."

"But the Viennese waltz and the tango, it's all in the legs," she says. "You're doing a full squat for two minutes. It's more intense than anybody would think. My body's back into shape and I'm so happy."

Kendra Wilkinson "Glad" to Go Home on DWTS

Time to hang up the dancing shoes!

Kendra Wilkinson was voted off Dancing with the Stars Tuesday night, but don't feel too bad for the 25-year-old reality star.

"You know, I'm happy we got this far," she told Us Weekly. "I'm glad we ended now. I'm proud of where we came from, I'm proud of where we got to and how we got here -- I'm just proud. I'm very happy."

Wilkinson credited her NFL hubby, Hank Baskett, for giving her strength throughout the competition. "Hank was my spine. He was my backbone… He was that inhaler that I needed!"

She admitted she'll miss her partner, Louis Van Amstel, as well as the glamorous life DWTS provided. "The best hair, the best makeup, the best costumes," she gushed. "I mean, you can't get more glamorous than when you are on Dancing with the Stars. . . This is the one time I actually feel like Barbie and I act like Barbie -- but this is where the journey ends and I'm back to being a stay at home mom."

Wilkinson and Baskett, 28, have a 16-month-old son together, Hank IV. So is she looking forward to getting back to fulltime motherhood? "I am! Oh, right now I am missing baby Hank so much. That's all I'm thinking about right now. Getting back to him, picking him up from out of his crib and just eating him up."

Spoiler! Which Celebrity Was Voted Off DWTS?

After seven weeks of rocky performances, Kendra Wilkinson was voted off Dancing With the Stars on Tuesday night.

"Some flowers bloom early, some flowers bloom late, and you've been a late blossoming girl," judge Len Goodman, 67, reassured the E! reality star. "The last few weeks you've really come on."

How did Wilkinson -- who was in the bottom three with Kirstie Alley, 60, and Chelsea Kane, 22 -- take the news?

"I've lasted seven weeks, which is seven weeks longer than I ever thought I would last," she said. "I want to thank Louis [van Amstel] for sticking with me and not fighting me."

Now that she's out of the competition -- only Alley, Kane, Romeo, Hines Ward and Ralph Macchio remain -- Wilkinson can finally get back to her daily routine.

"Baby Hank, I'm coming home for you!" the proud mom, 25, exclaimed. "I may not the best dancer, but I am the best mom."

Kendra: DWTS Has Been "Great" for My Sex Life

From the ballroom to the bedroom!

Turns out the judges weren't the only ones raving about Kendra Wilkinson's sultry moves on Monday's Dancing With the Stars. The 25-year-old Playboy alum's husband, Hank Baskett, was highly impressed with her hip shaking.

"Right after the [team] dance tonight we walked over to Hank and he said, 'Honey! I didn't know you could do the splits!'" Wilkinson's pro partner, Louis van Amstel, told Us Weekly after the pair took part in a group cha-cha routine with Kirstie Alley, Hines Ward and their partners.

Wilkinson says the flexibility tricks she's learned during her DWTS stint have come in handy behind closed doors.

"It's definitely great," Wilkinson told Us of the impact DWTS has had on her and Baskett's sex life. "If you come to my trailer after this you may see it moving back and forth. I'm definitely bringing the splits into the bedroom tonight!"

While Wilkinson relishes in DWTS' bedroom benefits, she admits to Us she worries about having the confidence to advance on the series.

"I have the physical, emotional [and] mental [strategy] to make it. But I'm still working on believing in myself," says Wilkinson, who also performed an intricate tango on Monday's show. "I have so much to offer and so much love and emotion to show. It's like a flower just starting to blossom, it's a process. Some flowers bloom overnight -- but not me!"

Stephen Colletti On His New GF Chelsea Kane

She danced right into his heart!

Former Laguna Beach star Stephen Colletti told Us Weekly at Tuesday night's Hot Hollywood party that he's "having a great time" with Chelsea Kane.

"She's great. I'm so proud of her," the reality-star-turned-actor, 24, said of Kane, 22. "She's doing amazing on Dancing with the Stars."

Earlier this month, Kane told Us she and Colletti were set up on a blind date by her manager. A close friend of Kane's told Us that she's been a fan of Colletti since his days as an MTV reality star alongside Lauren Conrad. Kane's friend revealed: "She tore his photo out of a magazine to show friends!"

Colletti was tight-lipped when it came to personal details about his relationship with the Disney starlet. The sexiest part about Kane? "That's between her and me," he quipped. And the most romantic thing he's ever done for her? "That's also between her and me. We're having a great time together. She's a great girl."

The One Tree Hill actor said the couple's dueling schedules prevent them from spending too much time together. "We fight the battle of finding time," he said. "She has rehearsal a lot and works so hard on her show. So we're more laid back. We like to go on dates together."

Audrina Patridge Reveals Her Pick To Win DWTS

Audrina Patridge is revealing her pick to win Dancing with the Stars to RumorFix. We caught up with the reality star earlier this month at OK! magazine's "Sexy & Single" party; that's where she gave us her choice to win this season's trophy.

Kendra Wilkinson, Romeo, Hines Ward, Chelsea Kane and Chris Jericho must have not impressed Audrina too much because she thinks Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy are poised to win the dance competition.

Audrina competed on the show last year with dance partner, Tony Dovolani. They were the fifth couple eliminated, finishing in seventh place.

Kendra Wilkinson leaves Dancing With The Stars

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Booty shake: Kendra impressed judges Bruno Tonioli and Len Goodman in a sexy Samba routine to Livin' La Vida Loca tonight


She has had a hit and miss season on Dancing With the Stars so far, with Carrie Ann Inaba even criticising her lack of elegance.

But Kendra Wilkinson managed to leave the judges speechless on tonight's Guilty Pleasures themed show with her vigorous interpretation of the samba.

Wearing a barely-there yellow mini dress, the 25-year-old reality show star seemed determined to made an impression, and succeeded when she jumped on the judge's table for the dance climax.

'Oh, my god, - that was a guilty pleasure!' gushed a clearly impressed Inaba. 'You were so in your element in your dance. That was a big performance.

Meanwhile, head judge Len Goodman was clearly stunned by the vigorous number.

'Last week you had a spark. This week you had a fire,' he declared. 'The more you gyrated the more I palpitated!'

The star was clearly in her element performing the samba to Ricky Martin song Livin' La Vida Loca with professional partner Louis van Amstel.

Earlier, she vowed that she was 'going to shake my butt all the way to the top of the leader board' - but despite winning over the judges with her sexy moves, she still failed to come top, although she did score a personal best 25.

Hip hop star Romeo and Disney actress Chelsea Kane both scored a perfect 10 each and tied with the highest scores of the season so far.

Chelsea's feat was made all the more impressive since her pro partner Mark Ballas had twisted his ankle in rehearsals earlier that day, with the painful moment screened on the show.

Romeo's waltz to Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On scored a romantic note with the judges with Inaba telling him: 'Every once in a while in a season magic happens - that was magical.'

'I think, Romeo DiCaprio, that your ship will sail on and on and on,' added Bruno Tonioli.

'That definitely was not planned,' Chelsie admitted, while Romeo added with a grin: 'I was just going with the flow.'

Elsewhere, actress Kirstie Alley scored highly with her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, racking up nines after a good performance to Britney Spears Baby One More Time.

'Great job - right up my alley,' Goodman told her.

Former child star Ralph Macchio had the toughest time as dance partner Karina Smirnoff tripped over and fell the ground. But they quickly got up again, and still scored a very respectable 24 points.

'I'm proud of you, and you should be proud of yourself,' said judge Len Goodman.
Bruno added: 'Once you got back on it, there was no stopping you.'
