Will Kendra Wilkinson's Natural Athleticism Bolster Her Chances on 'Dancing With The Stars'?

By Emily Hall Posted Mar 4th 2011 11:15AM

Agile, athletic and a kick-ass pole dancer with her own sports stripper pole on the market, reality star Kendra Wilkinson could be a contender to win the upcoming 'Dancing With the Stars.'

Rehearsing now for season 12 with her professional partner Louis Van Amstel, who also taught Kelly Osbourne and Lisa Rinna during past seasons of the ABC hit, the former Playboy model and star of E!'s hot show 'Kendra' is already hoofing up a storm.

"Kendra is a solid athlete who is a natural for 'Dancing With the Stars,'" a TV source tells PopEater. "It was just a matter of scheduling and when she would be available to take time for the show. There is a great deal of work involved. But she has the talent if she focuses on developing it."

A total tomboy who can look glam when she dresses in evening gowns, Wilkinson, 25, the wife of NFL wide receiver Hank Baskett and mother of 1-year-old Hank Baskett IV, still prefers the athletic and outdoor life to ballroom dancing and sipping mint juleps at fancy tea parties.

She discovered soccer at age 5, and over the years has made a point of learning every sport she encounters.

In addition to swimming, jogging and playing football, she loves tennis, golf and track and field. She stays fit by exercising and pole dancing and has long since lost her tough-to-shed pregnancy weight.

Her recent fitness DVD, 'Be A Knockout With Kendra,' shows her confidence and coordination, which could help immensely during the dance competition.

"It's night and day from day one and day three," she told Zap2it of 'DWTS' rehearsals. "I felt like myself on day three. I felt like a winner."

Booty shaking aside, ballroom dancing is a different beast, and the competitive athlete in Wilkinson knows she has a lot to learn.

"I'm having a blast," she told reporters. "I am working hard to develop this new skill, and I want to win."

So her being a h* will help her?...Gotta love those infamous popeater sources

By ricochet

That's stupid; it's like saying that her below-par brain content will hinder her chances of winning...

By gary

Athleticism my butt; unless you count the numerous romps in the sack that she claims she's had, another no talent bimbo trying to be famous and the media tries to shove her down our throats.

By mw

Hopefully she won't laugh that silly laugh she has.

By Amy

Oh so agree-hate her laugh. The show is dancing with the stars?? She's a star?? For what-screwing a man old enough to be her grandfather and gettin naked?? Wow-some star.

Kendra will not do too well. She's too top heavy and will make it difficult for her professional partner.

Not that I am a big Kendra fan, but your hypothesis is that Kendra boobs are so big that they will make her unable to dance? Having danced with many well-endowed women in my life I have seldom found any so big-boobed that the sheer weight of their bosom stopped them from dancing well.

By ron

olny think of her with that old wrinkled hef ,doing you know what. hate to see her on dance with stars.besides she not a star.only playboy guys, an a few who watch that terrible show she has, even know who she is.Get some real stars ,or past movie stars.anyone but her please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By YellowRose3218

Yes,, we all know how flexable Kendra is, and the things she can do. I have never seen her show, and never will.
I will not be watching dwts either, not while this 'woman' is on it.

By LOL

She doesn't have a "fat" chance as Kirsty Alley has that one all sewn up. The "FAT" part that is.

By Uh huh

She later confessed her favorite sport is the "tube steak boogy".

By butterfly666

I can't wait for Kendra to fall flat on her face!!!

By ed baggett

Kendra is just plain basty because of the "type" people she romps in the sack with.....
