Hef's New Girls: Yes to Stripper Poles, but No to Peacocks
Crystal Harris, 23, may share a room with Hugh Hefner at the Playboy Mansion, but that doesn't mean his two other girlfriends, 19-year-old twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon, are even a wee bit jealous.
"Our room is pimp," Karissa tells me. "We've got the round spinning bed from Chicago, a kickass big-screen TV and we have the perfect view of all the parties in the backyard. And we're getting a stripper pole in there, too."
Of course they are.

They've only been living together for a week, but Bridget Marquardt and her director-boyfriend, Nick Carpenter, are already bickering.
"We usually have fun together, but going through all these boxes has been a little bit stressful," the E! reality star, 35, told us at last night's Nylon magazine party at Skybar in West Hollywood. "I told Nick that he has to help me get rid of things, but every time he tells me to throw something away, I get all pissed at him."

Bridget Marquardt Talks Jon and Kate Gosselin
Bridget Marquardt knows being in the spotlight of reality television can be stressful, but she doesn't think it's to blame for Jon and Kate Gosselin's messy split.
"I personally don't think it necessarily had to do with the reality show," the Girl Next Door told us at this week's Reality Cares' Sizzles event at the SunStyle Tanning Studio in West Hollywood. "I think he was unhappy with his marriage and the situation to begin with…I think [reality tv] definitely is a stress-factor in a relationship, but I don't think it breaks it up. I think there have to be underlying problems."
In fact, Bridget wouldn't mind scoring another reality show deal.
Oh? Read on for details, plus hear what she has to say about moving in with boyfriend Nick Carpenter...

Forget about the stork. It's all about Santa Claus for Kendra Wilkinson and her football star fiancé, Hank Baskett.
As I was the first to confirm last night, the E! reality star, who turns 24 on Friday, is expecting the couple's first child.

The E! reality star has exclusively confirmed to me that she and fiancé Hank Baskett are expecting their first child.
"Hank and I are thrilled to announce that we are expecting our first child together. We are touched by the outpouring of support by our family, friends and fans."
Wilkinson, 23, and Baskett, 26, announced their engagement last November after the pro footballer popped the question at the top of Seattle's Space Needle.
What a month for these two! Besides this happy news, the couple's wedding is set for June 27 at Wilkinson's former abode, the Playboy Mansion. And Kendra, her new post-Girls Next Door show premiered Sunday, scoring E!'s second-highest rated series debut ever with 2.6 million viewers.
Just last month she told me the couple were already talking babies.
"I plan on having them very soon," Kendra said. "We want to be young parents and be able to chase around our kids and run and coach our kids. So, very soon."
She wasn't kidding!
