Hmm, maybe Kendra Wilkinson wasn’t as angry as we thought last week when Carrie Ann Inaba said she was afraid of being “elegant.” The former co-star of The Girls Next Door told reporters Monday that playing the good girl doesn’t always make for good TV on Dancing with the Stars – which is why she appeared to be rather peeved after Inaba’s comments from the previous week.
”It’s a family show for ABC. But at the end of that day it’s entertaining,” Wilkinson admitted. “If were a viewer I’d want to see a teeny bit of drama. Not a lot — just enough drama. It gives it balance. That’s what I want to see so that’s what I’m giving them.”
A reality show that is not real? Perish the thought! But Wilkinson said she did demonstrate to Inaba that there were no hard feelings. “I never said I didn’t like Carrie Ann. I think she’s one of the best people ever,” Wilkinson said. “I didn’t apologize, but I made sure she knew that I appreciate her and what she means through her messages. That 8 from her [during Monday's show] was a way of making up on the dance floor between each other. That showed me that she does have confidence in me.” — With reporting from Carrie Borzillo
I have confidence … you’ll follow me on Twitter. @EWLynette
She clearly was agitated last week, no question about it, it was no act.
Not since Charlie Chaplin has America seen so beloved a tramp as Kendra Wilkinson. Tonight she managed the difficult task of looking patriotic yet slutty. Louis did make an adprable Uncle Sam. You can take the girl out of the trailer park but…
LOL!
I know people are having an issue with her discussing her period but, you know what? I actually give the girl credit for mentioning it at all. I’ve always wondered how the female “stars” manage to do some of those moves during such an uncomfortable “time of the month”. The pros are used to it, their bodies have physically adjusted after so many years but, the non-pros, unless they are already athletes, are at an obvious disadvantage. It’s foolish to think otherwise…
ok, but she doesn’t have to talk about it on national tv on a show about dancing.
Oh, dear God. You pop an Advil and get on with it. This isn’t appendicitis we’re talking about.
Plus, didn’t she say something about it being “that time of the month” just 2 weeks ago? So which time are we talking about here, Kendra? Maybe she doesn’t know her own reproductive system or the facts of life yet … sheesh – i agree with Alix tho – pop an advil or 2 & get on with it.
I’d imagine they deal with their periods like any other woman who can sit around all day – they change the protective solution of their choice when it needs to be and take Midol. It’s not really that difficult and doesn’t need to be used as an excuse for acting like a child.
Kendra is an idiot, hope she leaves tonight.
Ditto.
Note to Kendra – We aren’t buying your “drama.” If Mary Ann made you feel like trash…well, there’s a good reason for that. Here’s hoping we can take out the Trash tonight.
The phrase “she was afraid of being ‘elegant’” got me to click!
Got you to click? What the heck does that mean? Carrie Ann was simply responding to 2 weeks of Kendra whing about being a Tomboy and not a lady…Carrie Anne was saying she was afraid and shouldn’t be. Kendra is an idiot and has become rich by being an annoying dopey white trash slut…give me a break
I think by click she meant oon this article.
I don’t know, having a tantrum like a two-year old doesn’t seem all that dramatic to me, more like annoying.
And extremely childish.
Yeah, I’m not buying the “it was an act” since she was obviously upset and Louis was upset with her for her comments.
She’s used to living in the bubble of tacky being ok and doesn’t know how to behave in normal society.
and another thing…
So if she was putting on an act, that negates last night’s comments that she isn’t fake.
She’s trying to backtrack and make her childish tantrum seems like some sort of reality-show strategy to increase “drama”. Pathetic.
She looked like she was going to cry so don’t think it was an act. And in the last few years, she obviously got used to “you’re great” accolodes in her life (despite having no discernable talent), so she pouts like a child when she is criticized. Think what will hurt Kendra the most is she is not likeable on DWTS.
Is she likeable among the other trashy strippers? Or is she just generally a pain-in-the-behind to everyone?
I truly think the problem is that the last time Kendra got an honest critique of actual work might have been in middle school. When is the last time she had a customer or employer actually critique her work? High school, if that? Let’s be honest, she’s a soft-core porn and reality tv “star” — famous for being attractive, “sexy”, and “funny”. Not for her acting skills, business administration, or even, ability to answer the phone. She’s surrounded herself by people who fawn all over her. So shockers — she’s actually getting constructive criticism and she falls apart. A big whiner.
Soft-core? Remember the sex tape? That was definitely hard-core.
completely agree!!
Kendra is just cranky because this is the most she’s danced without getting any tips.
If the judges folded up some bills, She’d be more pleasant for a while. Or give Len a tabledance!
