Kendra Wilkinson says Hugh Hefner offered her an escape


Kendra Wilkinson entered the Playboy Mansion because it offered her an escape route.
The blonde beauty is currently appearing in 'I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!' and has been reflecting on her relationship with Hugh Hefner, the 88 year-old Playboy magazine publisher.
Kendra, 29, shared: "He asked me to be one of his girlfriends and I was like I don't know what that means but hell yeah I'm there.
"I was living in the smallest apartment with the ugliest **** and I was praying for anything to get me out of there.
"He asked me to be part of the Playboy Mansion and I accepted, of course. I went by straight away but I didn't know that sex was involved.
"He'd ask if you wanted to go upstairs, and that was that. I was 18 and he was 78."
Asked if she was obligated to have sex with the ladies' man, Kendra added: "I was just curious about the girlfriends because he's always got more than one and wondered if you have to do him?
"You're not obligated, it's your choice.
"He really looks at the women in his house as relationships. Honestly? They all sleep with him - but they're also the greatest people."

Halle Berry accuses ex of racism


Gabriel Aubry made "completely and totally unacceptable" racial slurs against Halle Berry, a court has been told.
The 48-year-old actress, who dated the French-Canadian model between 2005 and 2010, has taken her former lover to court, claiming he straightened the naturally curly hair of their daughter Nahla - who was born in 2008 - and lightened it over the past 12 months.
A source close to Halle also told MailOnline that Gabriel had used racially abusive language towards their daughter, adding: "Halle is a great mom, she wants to keep Nahla on an even keel.
"Halle kept asking and asking Gabriel about Nahla's hair and he kept denying it.
"What does this say to a six year old who's half black? Her father is denying her identity.
"Halle then filed the court papers and Nahla's curls came back."
In her testimony to the court, Halle said: "I strongly feel that Gabriel's same underlying attitude is at the root in the changes, which only he could have been causing to our daughter's hair."
Since splitting from Gabriel, Halle has married French film actor Olivier Martinez, with whom she has a son, Maceo.

Amanda Bynes says her boyfriend ‘is not gay’


Amanda Bynes' rumoured boyfriend "is not gay".
The actress - who recently came out of rehab after some erratic behaviour - claimed to be engaged to Caleb Pusey in October, only for him to deny her suggestion.
Subsequently, Amanda, 28, took to criticising him on Twitter and accused him of being gay - a claim she has now retracted.
She wrote: "Caleb is not gay we had sex (sic).
"He did talk about being gay but we had sex so he obviously is not."
The 'Easy A' star also explained that she's chosen to speak about their relationship because she was unable to contact Caleb directly.
She said: "a friend of mine stole my chanel hand bag that had my iPhone in it and I lost caleb's contact information so I wanted to apoligize to him publicly because he is my favorite person in the world. (sic)"
Earlier this month, Amanda was recorded on tape by one of her room-mates saying she dreams of murdering her dad, slitting her mother's wrist and then burning down their house.
However, she subsequently insisted she was just "joking" when she made the threats.

I’m shy, says Nicki Minaj


Nicki Minaj "feels shy" a lot of the time.
The 'Anaconda' hitmaker is among the most outspoken and controversial stars in music, but she insists there's also a vulnerable side to her personality.
The 31-year-old beauty remarked: "I feel shy a lot of times actually. I just push myself to go for it."
Asked what specifically scares her, Nicki told E! News: "Being away from my family and people who love me and love me the most.
"So I'm going to move back to the East Coast ... just to keep grounded and be around.
"I want to see my baby brother grow up a little more. I think it's good for the soul."
Nicki also revealed how excited she is for the launch of her new album, 'The Pinkprint', which is set to be released in December.
She shared: "It really shows a lot of growth. I know that my fans are really going to appreciate the subject matter on a lot of the songs."
And Nicki also clarified suggestions she's set to take an extended break from the industry, saying: "I said [I'd take a break] after the fifth album.

Carmen Electra and Simon Cowell ‘never dated’


Carmen Electra and Simon Cowell used to flirt a lot, but never dated.
It's long been assumed that the pair enjoyed a short-lived romance, yet Carmen, 42, has insisted things never went that far.
She revealed: "We didn't really date, we just hung out. As soon as we met, we instantly started this flirtation and I mean he flirts with everyone but I went to his house a few times and had dinner - he likes to eat there.
"It could have gone in that direction but it never quite did."
Carmen - who has been married twice, to basketball star Dennis Rodman and musician Dave Navarro - retains a confidence in her ability to flirt.
She told Loverboy magazine: "I would say, first and foremost, confidence is the key because you need to get over your insecurities so that when you walk in that room, people can feel your energy and they are instantly attracted to you. You've got to have that sparkle in your eye."
Meanwhile, Carmen recently admitted she knew her marriage to Dennis Rodman was a mistake as she tied the knot with him when she was in "self-destruction" mode.
The former 'Baywatch' star explained that she met the controversial basketball player in 1998 shortly after her mother Patricia had passed away.
In an interview on 'Oprah: Where Are They Now?', she said: "I went into self-destruction (when I lost my mother) and I remember meeting Dennis.
"Dennis was the life of the party; he was fun. I started drinking. People couldn't understand why I loved him because he had a reputation for being a bad boy and what I saw at the beginning was, sort of, this gentle giant that was in a lot of pain."
