Kendra Wilkinson Blasts "Fake" News, Insists Marriage is in Trouble

Here is something you really don’t see very often:


A celebrity has taken to Instagram in order to shoot down a rumor that her relationship is happy and healthy.


Indeed, Kendra Wilkinson is insisting that her marriage to Hank Baskett really is in trouble, despite what you may occasionally read on the Internet.



The former Playboy centerfold and the ex-NFL wide receiver have been through a lot over the years, as documented on the awful reality show Kendra on Top.


Most notably, the couple has been forced to deal with the fact that Baskett received a hand job from transgender model Ava London in 2014.


Baskett himself has admitted as much, confessing that he put his family in a “bad situation” via this scandalous fondling.


Hank and Kendra proceeded to milk this controversy for every ratings ounce they possibly could, using it as the basis for one season after another of their aforementioned reality series.


In June of 2016, however, they celebrated seven years of marriage and said they were happier than ever together.



But now Kendra is actually the person claiming this isn’t the case.


The mother of two shared a tabloid story on social media last night that accused her of “faking marriage problems” for TV.


As you can see below, this article alleges that Hank and Kendra are trying to convince WEtv to pick up Kendra on Top for Season 7 by conjuring up marital issues that do not exist.


This is why Kendra recently (and randomly) wrote that 2018 has already been the hardest year of her life, according to the magazine.






Somehow more angry that she’d be accused of being a liar than of having a healthy romance, Wilkinson jumped ALL OVER this allegation. 


“how do u fake marital problems? makes absolutely no sense,” she wrote on Instagram to open a lengthy rebuttal to this charge.


(Must we even mention how ridiculous this question is? An unofficial survey has found that 99.9999% of all drama on reality television is manufactured, scripted and phony.)


“Yes, we are having issues,” Kendra added… and she was far from done.


“My job has been reality tv for 13 years,” she said as her third bullet point and continuing:


“My show was a comedy and light hearted til sad times happened then we had to change my show from comedy to drama. Not what i wanted but was a part of my journey and story.”



Kendra, of course, rose to fame as one of Hugh Henfer’s girlfriends on E’s The Girls Next Door.


She has since settled down with Baskett, but really wants everyone to know that it hasn’t been easy.


“These issues Hank n I are having in our home which we are tryin to hard to over come, everyone knows about, including producers and network, friends and family,” she writes.


Her sixth point in this list?


My job is reality TV and I love my job unfortunately these issues at home are affecting my decisions cuz the last thing i want to do is hurt Hank.


Yes, the very last thing, people.


This is why she’s telling the world how many problems she has at home with him.


(Another point: her job is to film a reality TV show about her life, therefore she clearly needs there to be drama in her life, or there’s no job. Self-owned much, Kendra?!?)



“I hope to get back to the fun Kendra you all know. That’s all i want n aim for. I hate drama!!!” Wilkinson wrote, as assume with a straight face somehow, toward the end of her post.


She then concluded:


Thank you all for your support and understanding me at this time. I’ve been in a lot of therapy lately n hope all gets resolved for me, Hank,kids and even for TV. Lol.


Hank and Kendra wed in 2009 and have welcomed two children together, son Hank IV, 8, and daughter Alijah, 3.


For their sake, we’d say we hope their parents work things out.


But for the sake of ratings, their mother would apparently say the opposite.

Corinne Olympios Insists: I Was SO the Victim!

Corinne Olympios has no problem with DeMario Jackson.


She has no problem with Bachelor in Paradise producers, either.



In an interview today with Good Morning America, the former Bachelor suitor and Bachelor in Paradise contestant made it clear that she harbors no ill will toward those directly involved with the scandal that halted production on Season 4 of the latter program.


So, who does Olympios blame for what happened?


For the way she feels as though her name was dragged through the mud after she and Jackson hooked up and a Warner Bros. investigation soon followed because it was unclear whether Corinne gave DeMario permission to lick her clitoris?


The media.


“I was a victim of… just being blown into the media and having people make these crazy assumptions and judgments about what happened that day,” Olympios said on GMA.


You know, I was really a victim of the media. All of a sudden people became an expert on the situation and what happened, and it’s like, ‘Well, I’m still trying to figure out what happened.’


“It was just horrible to deal with.”



Jackson has sat for numerous interviews since he and Olympios got drunk, hooked up and stirred major controversy.


He’s fought back against accusations of rape and blamed racist for the snowballing crisis.


Olympios, meanwhile, has admitted she mixed alcohol with prescription pills on the night in question… and she does take responsibility for that action.


“I was on a medication that severely blacks you out and impairs your judgment and messes with your balance,” she told GMA, adding:


“But I didn’t know you were not supposed to drink on. And so I really just caused a horrible, horrible blackout. It was like I went under anesthesia and just woke up.”


Olympios says she has tuned in for Bachelor in Paradise this season and reacted in “shock” upon seeing her actions.


“It’s like I’m watching not me. I’m watching someone else.”



Olympios doesn’t blame producers for what happened.


Quite the opposite, in fact.


“I would hope that if a producer saw anything that they were uncomfortable with with anyone, they would do the proper investigations,” she says, adding that she’s “super thankful.”


She also wishes DeMario “well, always.”


Corinne will chat with Chris Harrison on tonight’s episode of Bachelor in Paradise.


It should be an interesting back and forth.


“I definitely am weaning off that medication. I don’t want to be taking something that…you know, it was very scary what happened,” she said this morning.


“I cut down the drinking.”


We’re glad to hear it.

Aaron Carter Breaks Down, Insists: I Don"t Drink!

Aaron Carter is having a difficult 2017.


The singer endorsed Donald Trump in semi-crazy fashion a few months ago… then his dad passed away… then he ended up in the hospital… then he got arrested for DUI and drug possession.


In response to the latter incident, Carter sat down this week for an interview with Entertainment Tonight, pleading innocent, making bold statements and breaking down in tears.



“Basically, I’ve been listening to America and Stevie Wonder and the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack,” Carter told Jennifer Peros about how he’s been coping in the days since he was taken into custody.


The artist says he hasn’t been able to sleep at all since Saturday night.


As previously reported, Carter was arrested over the weekend on charges of DUI refusal, possession of marijuana less than one ounce and possession of drug related objects.


“I do not drink alcohol at all,” he says of the drunk driving charge, clarifying a bit and adding: I’ll occasionally have a sip of beer or something like that, but I can’t even drink IPAs.”


So, what happened? How did he end up getting charged with a DUI?


“Somebody said I was driving recklessly on the road, that’s what the police report said, but the alignment was off on my car, so I went to AutoZone to see if I could do anything about it,” Carter explains to ET.


“A motorcyclist reported that I was swerving all over the road, but the alignment was off a little bit on the new tire.”



According to the police report, Carter was arrested while at an AutoZone.


He claims the arresting officer never even saw him behind the wheel; he simply responded to the 911 call about his driving and everything snowballed from there.


Carter says he told the cop that a small amount of pot was in his car, but insists the last time he had smoked was nine hours before the arrest.


He says he smokes marijuana for his anxiety, chronic pain and to increase his appetite.


“I am willing to do a polygraph test,” Carter says in this interview. “I take Xanax, Propranolol for high blood pressure medication, and I took oxycodones for my mouth.”


But that’s it, he adds. No illicit substances.



In the wake of his arrest, some critics and even some fans out there have been saying that Carter needs professional help.


They assume he’s a drug addict or has a drinking problem.


But he has a message for these people:


“I don’t need help. What I need is for people to understand that I’m human and I make mistakes just like every other human in this world, but I would never risk my life or my girlfriend’s life.


“I do not drink. Hire a polygraph person, a professional. Strap me up.”


Carter had earlier sent this same message to his very own brother.


“I love u no matter what & if u feel the need to reach for help, I am here and willing to help you get better,” Nick Carter Tweeted after his sibling’s arrest, adding:


“Family isn’t always easy, but we’re all here for you.”



Aaron was NOT having this, however.


Almost immediately after the Tweet went live, he fired back as follows:


If my own blood (Nick) truly cared about my well-being, why wouldn’t he call me directly and have a conversation instead of making this about him through a very public forum?


That’s not cool at all to use me for this PR and kick me out while I am down. I love my family despite it through thick and thin.

Dog Impersonates Baby, Insists on ALL the Attention

It can be a major adjustment to welcome a newborn baby into a household.


Other kids must prepare to receive less attention for a period of time. Parents must say goodbye to the concept of sleep for many months,


Even pieces of furniture have to take a deep breath and get ready to get peed on (at best).


But what about the life of pets? How are they affected by the presence of a tiny human being in their home?



It can be quite scary and concerning for a dog to no longer be the most adorable creature in the eyes of his owners, but the canine featured in the following video is NOT about to let that be the case.


He"s on a mission.


He"s intent on remaining Option Number-One when it comes to attention from his family.


In one of the funniest pieces of footage we"ve seen in awhile, a grandmother is sitting between her actual grandchild and her four-legged grandchild.



She really wants to pick the baby up, but the dog won"t let her.


He"s on his back. He"s using his paws to grab her arm. He"s basically doing his best impression of a very young child in order to garner the belly rubs he so rightfully deserves.


And we can"t stop laughing as he goes through these adorable motions.


SEE FOR YOURSELF!
