Kendra Wilkinson gave birth to her first child this morning (11.12.09).

The former Playboy Playmate welcomed Hank Baskett IV - her son with American footballer husband Hank Baskett - after undergoing a caesarean section at 12.37am at a hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The new arrival - who was two weeks premature - weighed 9lb 5oz and measured 22 inches long.

The couple issued a statement saying: "We are all healthy and incredibly happy and can't wait to spend every moment with little Hank."

Kendra's ex-boyfriend Playboy founder Hugh Hefner is delighted by the news.

He said: "I send my love to Kendra, Hank and the baby on this memorable day. What a wonderful Christmas present."

Her friends and fellow former Playmates Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt also offered their best wishes.

Holly said: "I can't wait to meet little Hank. I am so excited for Kendra and Hank. They are going to have the best holiday ever!"

Bridget said in an email to E! Online: "This is what I call a Christmas gift that will keep on giving (and taking... lol)! I wish both of them and little Hank Jr. a lifetime of joy and happiness! The only things I wonder... Can I help plan the birthday parties and how will they top this gift next Christmas??? (sic)"


The Jonas Brothers never fight.

Nick Jonas admits he and his siblings Joe and Kevin have disagreements but always resolve their problems by talking, not shouting.

He said: "If there's something we disagree on, we'll have a conversation about it. But it's not an immature kind of, 'I'm right and I'm going to be stubborn about it.'

"We're open to each others comments and we have a great respect for each other. And we never forget that we are a family with a common passion for music. That's what binds together."

Nick, 17, is launching his own side-project Nick Jonas And the Administration next year and has revealed the group's music will go in a different direction to his and his brothers' music.

He said: "I'm a big fan of Kings of Leon and The Zutons. There is a bunch of bands that I like, but the new Kanye West album is really great."


Lily Allen has urged people to take more care of the environment.

The 24-year-old singer believes it is essential for people to spend the next decade thinking of the impact their actions will have on the planet.

She said: "We all need to take a bit more responsibility for our carbon footprint. I'm trying but its hard."

However, the 'Not Fair' hitmaker may need to listen to her own advice after admitting she recently purchased a non-environmentally friendly car.

She said: "I've just bought a new Land Rover. It's a gas guzzler, but I spend a lot of time in the countryside near my dad, so I feel I need it."

The 'Smile' singer added that she only bought it so she could stay away from photographers and believes being able to live anonymously would be good for the planet.

She added to Q magazine: "I wanted something big and sturdy which elevated me off the ground a bit. I wanted to feel bigger than the paparazzi.

"So the next decade will be better if they f**king leave me alone and I can do the right thing and get on a bike."


Taio Cruz wants to write a song for this year's 'X Factor' winner.

The 'Break Your Heart' singer - who has written tracks for the show's judge Cheryl Cole, previous winner Leona Lewis and last year's runners up JLS - says head judge Simon Cowell is a fan of his work and is keen to get him involved with the victorious artist.

He told BANG Showbiz: "Simon seems to be a fan of my music which is good, or a fan of my first album anyway. The guys at his record label, Syco, are always calling up and telling me they want me to work on their new artists all the time. I'd write a song for the winner."

Taio - who started his career as a producer and songwriter - likes Stacey Solomon the best out of three finalists and was disappointed that Danyl Johnson was booted off.

He added: "I liked Danyl from the beginning I was very sad to see him go. I also like Stacey Solomon, she's amazing."

Stacey is joined in this weekend's final by Olly Murs and Joe McElderry.


Kelly Osbourne is getting bored of twitter.

The TV star is a regular contributor the micro-blogging website but is getting tired of hearing people to talk about it all the time.

She said: "In America it seems that everyone talks about twitter to try to be young and cool. It's getting a bit dull."

Despite getting disillusioned with the site, Kelly has no plans to abandon her page yet - just as Miley Cyrus did recently.

She added: "I still love my Twitter page though, it's a good way for me to connect with people and show my appreciation for their support."

One of Kelly's most recent postings revealed she needs surgery on her feet.

The star suffers from bunions - a deformity of the bone and joint which affects the big toe and can be extremely painful - and aggravated the condition while competing on US TV talent show 'Dancing with the Stars'.

Accompanied by a picture of her injured foot, she wrote: "The injection I got in my foot has now completely worn off. I'm in so much pain I feel like I want to be sick!"


Rachel Weisz feels sexier now she is a mother.

The 39-year-old actress - who has a three-year-old son Henry with director fiancé Darren Aronofsky - says going through labour made her more aware and comfortable with her body.

She said: "I feel sexier after having a baby. It makes you feel a lot more confident and appreciative of your body and what it's capable of doing. I've got a lot more respect for it."

The 'Lovely Bones' star also said she has learned more about herself since entering her thirties.

She added to Britain's Cosmopolitan magazine: "My twenties were horrible. I felt I didn't know anything and worried about everything.

"As you get older, you learn to let go of a few things. You come to know your own mind, values and morality."

Rachel recently said she had "never been happier" since having Henry and claims he has improved her life in so many ways.

She said: "I find I can get a lot more done since I've had Henry. Suddenly, in 45 minutes, you can get twice as much done as you once did. I've become a lot more organised.

"And I'm a much happier person since I've had Henry, and much more balanced. I feel I have an ultimate purpose beyond anything else in my life."


Sarah Harding's boyfriend loves her to be natural.

The Girls Aloud singer - who has dated DJ Tom Crane for three years - says he prefers it when she is her natural self and is able to let down her guard.

She said: "He thinks I'm sexy when I wake up in the morning with no make-up on and my hair up in the air. He prefers me like that. I think he likes to know he's needed.

"He fancies me more when I'm vulnerable or feeling a bit sorry for myself. He gets me. I might come across as confident when I'm on stage but that's my mask."

The blonde star also admitted she and Tom's arguments last a long time because they are both so stubborn.

She added to Britain's Cosmopolitan magazine: "If we argue, we'll both try to get the last word. It's like, 'Grow up.' 'No, you grow up'.


Robert De Niro says his children ignore his advice.

The Hollywood actor - who has five children from three relationships - loves to have his family around but they don't listen to anything he tells them.

He told an Irish newspaper: "I like to talk to the kids about things that I think are important for them, not to lecture them, but you know sometimes it's hard to communicate with your kids.

"They're in their own world and they look like they're not even listening and you just have to accept that."

Despite the fact his family all live in different places, the 66-year-old star - who has just finished work on new comedy film 'Meet the Little Fockers' - always tries to get everyone together for special occasions.

The actor - who is married to Grace Hightower - said: "I like having family around, but I don't necessarily have to interact. I like to just, sometimes, sit here reading with the kids around.

"I have a fractionalised family of sorts but my whole big thing is always to try and get the kids together for big occasions like Christmas and I think I do pretty well with that."


Cindy Crawford says cosmetic surgery is unsexy.

The 43-year-old supermodel says her husband Rande Gerber and close friend George Clooney can't understand why anyone would go under the knife to alter their appearance.

She said: "If you're not careful you end up looking perfect but not real. And that's not very sexy. I don't think guys like it. My husband hates that stuff, he'd be angry if I did it.

"He and George talk about it and say, 'Have you ever not gone out with a girl because her lips aren't big enough?' Of course they haven't.

"They always ask me why women do this stuff to themselves. And I don't know. The doctors who do it lose their eye for it because they're doing so much. But I think it'll change."

Despite her views, Cindy admits she has considered cosmetic surgery but hopes she will never succumb to the "pressure".

She added to GQ magazine: "You think about it the older you get, the pressure builds, definitely, especially in my kind of profession. But the women I think look great either don't do it or are very subtle about it."


Katie Price has reportedly reunited with Alex Reid out of fear.

The glamour model - who dumped the cross dressing cage fighter a fortnight ago on live TV, after he had travelled to Australia to propose to her - has agreed to give their romance another try after he bombarded her with phone calls and text messages, but friends claim she is only with him so he doesn't sell their intimate secrets.

Katie, 31, had made Alex, 34, sign a confidentiality agreement at the beginning of their relationship, but according to Britain's Daily Star newspaper, he signed the document using the name of his cross dressing alter ego 'Roxy', which could make it void, leaving him free to sell his story.

A source said: "She thought she was safe making him sign the agreement, but it seems the signature was never checked.

"It was very cheeky of Alex indeed, but pretty clever. There is one thing almost as important to Katie as her kids and that's money.

"She hates the thought of people making money out of her and was not about to hand it to Alex on a plate."

Katie's management reportedly advised her to buy Alex's silence, but she has instead reconciled with him, leaving him "over the moon".

It was previously claimed Katie recently went into UK reality TV show 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' in order to try and win back her ex-husband Peter Andre, whom she split with in May of this year. The couple raise three children together, Harvey, seven, Junior, four, and two-year-old Princess Tiaamii.

Peter has since vowed never to take Katie back.
