Kendra Wilkinson Weds Hank Baskett at Playboy Mansion: Former “Girl Next Door” Kendra Wilkinson is now officially an NFL Housewife. According to UsMagazine, this Saturday night, Kendra Wilkinson and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Hank Baskett tied the knot at the famed Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles, California.

According to the report, the ceremony took place in front of 500 guests and family member that included Wilkinson's former "Girls Next Door" costars Bridget Marquardt and Holly Madison, as well as their ex-lover Hugh Hefner.

"I'm ready to marry the man of my dreams," Wilkinson stated shortly before marrying Baskett. "He's one in a million. I'm so lucky."

Designer, Michael Barin supplied the more than $100,000 platinum and diamond jewelry that the 24-year-old bride wore on Saturday.

It was reported that, “she personally selected the 4.25-carat platinum drop earrings ($47,000), the 2.5-carat platinum pendant ($33,700) and the 4.5-carat bracelet ($21,000)”.

Originally, it was Hefner’s role to be the one to walk her down the aisle, but instead Wilkinson changed her mind and chose her brother Colin to do the honors. "We were actually trying to plan a June baby next year, but we're so happy that it's Christmas," Wilkinson said. "The baby is going to be spoiled with a lot more gifts."

According to her former co-star, Mrs. Hank Baskett has made an incredible change since getting serious with the wide receiver. "Ever since Kendra got together with Hank, she's grown so much as a person," Madison stated last week in Las Vegas. "She became a nicer, more caring, well-rounded person."

Carrie Prejean vs. Donald Trump in Defamation Lawsuit? PDF Print E-mail

Carrie Prejean vs. Donald Trump in Defamation Lawsuit? After being stripped of her Miss California title last week, Carrie Prejean’s attorney Charles LiMandri, gave Keith Lewis, the executive director of the Miss USA pageant, a last opportunity to retract statements made on the former beauty queen. Failure to do so may result in a defamation lawsuit.

"Carrie Prejean's good name has been tarnished by your client's false and defamatory accusations," the letter from her lawyer stated to the executive director.

Lewis has made many statements in the past week, claiming that the reason Prejean lost her title was due to her lack of commitment to the Miss USA contract. She allegedly missed public appearances and has not been easy to work with.

"She came to us and said I'm not interested in your input; I'll make my own decision on what I'm going to do," Lewis said. "You know, when you have a contract, when you're working for someone, you have a responsibility to follow through on what that requirement is.”

About a month ago, Miss USA owner Donald Trump, announced that Carrie Prejean would be able to keep her title regardless of all the controversy, including topless photos, and her beliefs on same-sex marriage. Last week Trump had a quick turnaround.

"I told Carrie she needed to get back to work and honor her contract with the Miss California USA organization, and I gave her the opportunity to do so," Trump said. "Unfortunately, it just doesn't look like it is going to happen, and I offered Keith my full support in making this decision."

American Idol Odds: Lambert favored over Allen PDF Print E-mail
Written by Haim Rosenberg  
Tuesday, 19 May 2009
It began last summer with over 100,000 contestants and in tonight's American Idol Season 8 finale it's down to two, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert. American Idol producers could not have scripted a better final's match-up. Lambert, the oddsmakers favorite, with flamboyant looks and rock-star talent going against Allen, a church-going 23 year old Arkansas boy with a killer smile and enough talent to keep him on stage for years.

American Idol Odds: Lambert favored over AllenSo who will win? Online oddsmakers at SBGglobal.com have installed Adam Lambert as a heavy favorite at -350 moneyline odds format. In comparison, odds on underdog Kris Allen's winning are +250.

Link up with sportsbook SBGglobal for the most up to date American Idol betting odds. While there, check out the NBA Playoff's, Major League Baseball and professional soccer odds from around the world. All the odds - all the time - at SBGglobal.com.

How do these odds work? At -350 odds, it would require a $350 wager to win $100 if Lambert won American Idol. At +250 odds, a $100 bet would net Allen backers a $250 payday.

Keep in mind, these odds do not guarantee a winner, they merely indicate how oddsmakers expect the public to wager.

It's hard to predict how the public will vote between Lambert and Allen but one thing we can guarantee. Folks in the bible belt will surely go for Allen while more liberal minded fans will probably vote for Lambert. It's the millions of people in the middle where uncertainty lies.

"It's a tough call," said Sports-Odds.com entertainment handicapper Reno Gold. "While Adam has talent to burn, 'no doub't about that,' this Allen kid just keeps hanging around and getting better week after week. It's like the classic story of the 'Turtle and the Hare'. Where early on it appears the Hare will win the race but slacks off and allows the slower turtle to cross the finish line first."

Gold wrapped up his comments with this prediction. " I see an upset brewing. Of course they need to perform well too. A hic-up by either contestant could spell doom."

Sports betting lines at SBG Global are available on every sport and the betting lines even include wagering on some non-sporting events like American Idol and Dancing with the Stars. From regular pointspreads and totals to money lines, parlays and teasers, SBG has exceptional sports betting lines.
