As if having been on the cover of Playboy magazine, appearing in The Girls Next Door and having married NFL Philadelphia Eagles player Hank Baskett, wasn’t enough publicity for former Playboy model, Kendra Wilkinson, it now becomes apparent that she secretly set up the release of her homemade sex tape.
The internet celebrity news site, RadarOnline has revealed that it was set up by Wilkinson’s former manager, Matt Cohen, who released the tape of an 18 year old Kendra in 2008, only to be pursued through the courts for as Wilkinson publicly appeared to fight the release of the tape.
So far 24 year old Kendra has decided not to acknowledge the claims of the website however, she’s in good company with other ladies of Playboy who have also released sex tapes including, Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.
Ask most men, and even women for that matter, who they would rate as Playboy’s number one model and the answer would probably be overwhelmingly Pamela Anderson. Although after that, the remaining top 9 in the Playboy top 10 model list is somewhat surprising. But when one considers that the iconic men’s magazine first launched in 1953 by Hugh Hefner, it has plenty of collectors whose memories stretch back 55 years to their own all time favourites, then the list becomes more believable.
At #10 there’s the woman who’s had more husbands than Hef has had Playmates, Elizabeth Taylor. The Hollywood actress and Academy Award winner appeared in a pictorial in Playboy January 1963, the year she appeared in the blockbuster, Cleopatra with her, then husband, Richard Burton.
Coming in at #9 is Catherine Deneuve, the beautiful French actress who made several Playboy appearances with her first being at just 20 years of age and including July 1969, December 1969 and December 1970.
The #8 position went to the trouble actress and model Anna Nicole Smith who became a firm favourite with Playboy enthusiast during the 1990’s when in 1992 se first appeared in the magazine using her birth name, Vickie Smith. Her success skyrocketed from there, and she was named the 1993 Playmate of the Year when she changed her name to Anna Nicole. The statuesque model also appeared in several special editions of Playboy magazine among which was an edition totally devoted to Anna Nicole.
The lucky #7 position is occupied by the eternally youthful Cindy Crawford who graced the cover of Playboy magazine in July1988 and again in May 1996 and October 1998. Cindy also appears on the cover of the special edition Supermodels 1995.
Appearing just outside the top 5 is Jenny McCarthy who took #6 in the ratings. Jenny has been featured in the magazine on several occasions, and her photos have also appeared in at least 15 Playboy special editions. Playboy was the making of Jenny who has since gone on to become a TV celebrity and an advocate in the research for a cure for autism.
As with several Playboy stars #5, Jane Mansfield, suffered an early demise when she was killed in a car accident in 1967. But her Playboy appearances have left an abiding memory of 1950’s glamour and how women appeared on the silver screen of the 1950’s.The young, innocent, braided beauty of Bo Derek placed her at #4 in the top 10 Playboy model list. Although better known for the number 10 after appearing in the movie of the same name, we’re sure Bo didn’t have any issues being placed in the top five.
Who could forget the original Bond girl who takes the #3 place, Ursula Andress? The beauty who rose from the waves in Dr No, as Honey Ryder, with her now iconic white bikini, her knife and shell in hand humming an alluring calypso. Revealing what only her leading men such as James Dean and Sean Connery, had been privy to, Ursula appeared in several issues of Playboy magazine including Playboy’s 50 Most Beautiful Women 1989 and The Girls of Playboy 1973.
Although she was the #1 lady to grace to cover of Playboy magazine in 1953, propelling Hugh Hefner to magazine mogul over the next 50 years, the #2 position is held by Marilyn Monroe. On her cover photo for Playboy’s first cover Marilyn wore a dress with a low, risqué neckline, taken at the 1952 Miss America parade. The nude photo inside the magazine was actually taken in 1949 at a calendar shoot. In September 1955, Miss Monroe also appeared on the magazine’s cover. With the blonde beauties iconic status being clear many years after her sudden death, Hugh Hefner made the decision to make a reprint of the original 1953 cover carrying Monroe’s picture.
It probably comes as no surprise to anyone that the #1 position goes to former Baywatch beauty, Pamela Anderson. Having made more Playboy magazine appearances, 12 in all, than any other model it was only fitting that the surgically enhanced Miss Anderson should hold pole position. Pamela’s first appearance came on the cover of Playboy magazine October 1989 and continued her appearances right through to January 2007. With countless pictorials and shoots throughout her Playboy career, it’s a just reward for the Canadian born beauty who still remains a close friend of Mr Playboy himself, Hugh Hefner.

A Playboy bunny girl, Playboy cover girl and Playboy model with brains! That’s the latest image the normally outrageous Dita Von Teese is trying to portray right now as she whisks around the country signing her book, ‘Dita: Striptease’, and how clever bringing it to the book shelves just before Christmas!
Wearing far more than we normally see the burlesque stripper wearing, Dita arrived at a book singing for her new book which on all accounts is essentially a picture book of some of her most intimate performances, Miss Von Teese was geared up for business in a black and white hound’s tooth suit and T-bar heels.
Following in the footsteps of other Playboy model writers such as Jordan, Pamela Anderson and even Carmen Electra with her ‘How to be Sexy’ book, Dita is clearly hoping to be in every Christmas stocking this year!
‘A fool will lose tomorrow looking back at yesterday!’ And that’s obviously how Playboy model Pamela Anderson views life as she has completely ruled out any reunion with her ex-husband Tommy Lee.
The model, who has graced more Playboy magazine covers than any other model, divorced Tommy in 1998 after just three years of a somewhat tumultuous marriage.
Pamela has attempted several reconciliations with the rocker but on each occasion he has let her down and left her broken hearted and now she states, “No. No way. I have no interest at all. You can’t get heartbroken any more over all the disappointments… He doesn’t think he’s doing anything wrong. I do tell him the truth, but it’s been 10 years of suffering over him so I’m over it’.
The 42 year old Baywatch beauty has two children with Tommy Lee, 47 and insists that they are her main concern, not a reunion with Lee.
