Kendra Wilkinson "Glad" to Go Home on DWTS

Time to hang up the dancing shoes!

Kendra Wilkinson was voted off Dancing with the Stars Tuesday night, but don't feel too bad for the 25-year-old reality star.

"You know, I'm happy we got this far," she told Us Weekly. "I'm glad we ended now. I'm proud of where we came from, I'm proud of where we got to and how we got here -- I'm just proud. I'm very happy."

Wilkinson credited her NFL hubby, Hank Baskett, for giving her strength throughout the competition. "Hank was my spine. He was my backbone… He was that inhaler that I needed!"

She admitted she'll miss her partner, Louis Van Amstel, as well as the glamorous life DWTS provided. "The best hair, the best makeup, the best costumes," she gushed. "I mean, you can't get more glamorous than when you are on Dancing with the Stars. . . This is the one time I actually feel like Barbie and I act like Barbie -- but this is where the journey ends and I'm back to being a stay at home mom."

Wilkinson and Baskett, 28, have a 16-month-old son together, Hank IV. So is she looking forward to getting back to fulltime motherhood? "I am! Oh, right now I am missing baby Hank so much. That's all I'm thinking about right now. Getting back to him, picking him up from out of his crib and just eating him up."

Spoiler! Which Celebrity Was Voted Off DWTS?

After seven weeks of rocky performances, Kendra Wilkinson was voted off Dancing With the Stars on Tuesday night.

"Some flowers bloom early, some flowers bloom late, and you've been a late blossoming girl," judge Len Goodman, 67, reassured the E! reality star. "The last few weeks you've really come on."

How did Wilkinson -- who was in the bottom three with Kirstie Alley, 60, and Chelsea Kane, 22 -- take the news?

"I've lasted seven weeks, which is seven weeks longer than I ever thought I would last," she said. "I want to thank Louis [van Amstel] for sticking with me and not fighting me."

Now that she's out of the competition -- only Alley, Kane, Romeo, Hines Ward and Ralph Macchio remain -- Wilkinson can finally get back to her daily routine.

"Baby Hank, I'm coming home for you!" the proud mom, 25, exclaimed. "I may not the best dancer, but I am the best mom."

Bruno Calls Kendra A Stripper, Propositions Her

Guess he liked it?

Bruno Tonioli got seriously overheated following Kendra Wilkinson's samba routine with partner Louis van Amstel on Monday's Dancing with the Stars ("Guilty Pleasures" night).

After the Playboy alum and reality star, 25, pulled off a super-sexy dance to Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca," the eccentric judge didn't offer much in the way of constructive criticism.

Instead, Tonioli quipped, "Ladies and gentleman, Dancing with the Stars presents: Revenge of the Stripper, Part 1!"

Tonioli then threw out a dollar bill and lay down on the judges' table. "Let's do it now, let's get it over with!"

Wilkinson and van Amstel laughed nervously and stepped back. The other judges praised the pair. "That was a guilty pleasure, my dear!" Carrie Ann Inaba gushed. "You were so in your element in this dance...Boy, that was a big performance!"

Added Len Goodman: "The more you gyrate, the more I palpitate! Well done."

As she rehearsed her routine, Wilkinson promised to bring "a lot of jiggle" -- plus clean , crisp lines and perfect technique -- to the performance.

"I'm gonna shake my butt all the way to the top of the leader board!"

In the end, she nabbed 25 points -- including a grateful 9 from Tonioli.

Kendra Wilkinson: I Did Everything I Could Have

Sometimes you just have an off night. And that seemed to be the case for Kendra Wilkinson, who landed at the bottom of the leader board on Dancing with the Stars Monday night.

"The scores suck," the reality star said of earning just 18 points – the night's lowest score – for her Viennese waltz with partner Louis van Amstel. "That's the way it goes. I didn't do a perfect job and I got the scores I got, and that's the way it goes."

After judge Bruno Tonioli's highly animated critique, head judge Len Goodman reminded him, "These people are beginners, Bruno. Don't be cruel."

Kendra admitted to having mixed feelings about the routine. "Going into it I didn't feel comfortable but when the music started I did feel comfortable," she said. "I felt in place. I felt like I did everything I could have done."

So what went wrong? "I had three missteps," she says. "It sucks because I didn't mean to do it. It just happened. But I moved on from it and I finished it."

Holly: Kendra Will Do Better Than I Did on DWTS

Holly Madison's stint on Dancing with the Stars may have been short-lived, but she thinks her former Girls Next Door costar, Kendra Wilkinson, could go all the way to win the competition's coveted disco-ball trophy.

"She absolutely has a chance at winning," Madison 32, recently told PEOPLE. "She's a natural athlete and she's really competitive and she has a fan following, so I think she'll do really well and certainly better than I did."

Still, Madison says that no matter how Wilkinson fares, she should just enjoy herself.

"It's so much fun," Madison, 32, says about participating on the hit ABC show. "As soon as I heard Kendra was going to be on this season, I texted her and said, 'Try your hardest, but don't even worry about being competitive or how long you stay on the show.' "

The Las Vegas Peepshow dancer, who sat with Wilkinson's brother and hubby Hank Baskett during a recent DWTS taping, so far is impressed with Wilkinson's footwork on the dance floor.

Madison, who encourages the show's competitors to "have a blast," says her main advice is to live in the moment.

"You never know when you're going to go. It could happen for any reason," says Madison. "So just enjoy it from week to week."

How Hank Influences Kendra's Dancing Routines

Things will get personal on Monday's Dancing with the Stars when pro Louis Van Amstel hits the ballroom with partner Kendra Wilkinson and takes on the role of her husband Hank Baskett.

"Next week is definitely a more spiritual, sexy story. It's a love story," Wilkinson, 25, told PEOPLE of their upcoming performance. "It's about my husband and me. It's about how we fell in love and what went on behind the scenes of falling in love."

While there's practically no comparison between the dancer and the athlete, Van Amstel, 38, is ready to put his acting chops to the test.

"I'll take the challenge," he says. "If she has to take the challenge each week, I'll take the challenge in storyline week. I'll have to up my game."

Fortunately, the pro dancer has met the inspiration for his role – and walked away with a good sense of the man he'll be impersonating.

"They are a very huge, big inspiration to young Hollywood that you can have it all and still be down to earth, have love, have kids at a younger age ... and be very supportive of each other," Van Amstel says.

The meeting also gave Baskett, 28, the opportunity to share an important – though perhaps unexpected – suggestion with his wife's new partner. "He didn't even give me advice," Van Amstel says. "He gave me a green light. 'Push my wife! Do anything you want with my wife.' "

Crystal Doesn't Want Hef's Exes At Wedding

Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson is peeved that she has yet to receive an invite to his upcoming nuptials with Crystal Harris, and the wedding day, set for June 18, is fast approaching. Wilkinson is now threatening to attend another wedding that day, one she has rightfully been invited to.

Kendra should bank on attending the alternate wedding since sources close to Hef's betrothed tell PopEater that Harris is on the fence about whether she wants her big day packed with an audience of women her husband has slept with.

"This is Crystal's special day, and she doesn't want all of Hef's exes there," a friend says. "What woman would?"

It's a fair question despite the liberties typically taken in Hugh Hefner's personal relationships, where he has lived with several girlfriends at once.

Kendra says she doesn't blame Hugh, but she does blame Crystal.

"It's Crystal that does the wedding planning. She's the girl," Kendra told E! Online. "If she doesn't give me a save the date soon, I'm going to have to put in my save the date with the other wedding."

This may be the third wedding for Hef, but it is Crystal's first. And though their relationship got off on a nontraditional foot, what with Crystal sharing Hef with the Shannon twins, she wants her marriage to be a traditional one and that means no more sharing.

This wedding is sure to be a media circus, so a save the date would likely go through Kendra's publicist before it gets sent to her personally anyway. Still, the reality star shouldn't hold her breath. That other wedding sounds like it will be just as fun, but we feel bad for that pal, who now knows they're second fiddle.

Kendra Wilkinson's Mother Is Bankrupt

Reality star Kendra Wilkinson's mother filed for bankruptcy last year, despite her daughter's booming career and marriage to an NFL star, Radar Online has exclusively learned.

Patricia Wilkinson filed for Chapter 7 on May 11, last year, as the National Enquirer was first to report.

In court documents filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court Southern District of California and obtained by Radar Online, the 52-year-old lists her occupation as patient services at an orthopedic surgery center.

Patricia, who made several appearances on the Girls Next Door with Kendra, lists her 21-year-old son, Colin, as a dependent and claims her average monthly income as $3,269.50.

However, Patricia's "current expenditures" are listed at a whopping $3,348 per month -- $78.50 more than what she brings in.

Kendra's mom also showed a rapid decline in her yearly salary from 2008 to 2010.

Her employment income in 2008 was $58,463 whereas it declined by nearly $37,000 in 2010 when she earned a minimal $21,600.

Patricia was granted her bankruptcy on August 16, 2010.

Kendra: I Almost Walked Away From Dancing

It's only week two at Dancing with the Stars and emotions are already running high.

Just minutes before her quickstep with partner Louis van Amstel Monday night, Kendra Wilkinson says, "There was a moment where I just wanted to walk off the stage."

The reality star, who hopes the Dancing experience helps her overcome her stage fright, says she was rattled because she, like viewers at home, watched footage of her quickstep rehearsal. The video package showed the reality star in tears, emotional over the fact that she grew up a tomboy and now she's dressing like a lady and trying to perform highly elegant moves on the dance floor.

"I'm 25 – I'm at my quarter-life crisis," Wilkinson explains. "I'm growing up and I'm doing it while I'm on this show. And it's so funny – a lot of people don't want me to grow up. They go, 'What happened to you?' That's why a lot of times I'm so stressed out because when I do grow up, people push me down, and when I'm too much of a kid people are like, 'You have to grow up.' "

Though she had temporary second thoughts about stepping into the ballroom Monday, once her performance began, Wilkinson says, she felt secure.

"The audience pushed me through tonight," she says, noting that the fans in the audience who shouted, "I love you, Kendra," made all the difference.

"I'm so thankful for them," she says. "I'm happy people out there have faith in me. I know I can do this."

Kendra: Kirstie Alley Is My Biggest Competition

Battle of the blondes!

While Season 12 boasts multiple professional athletes, Kendra Wilkinson tells Us Magazine that she's more concerned about another competitor on Dancing With the Stars -- one not known for her athletic prowess.

"Kirstie Alley, that's my competition," says the reality star, 25. "Dancing With the Stars is not all about being a pro dancer, it's about personality and popularity."

And 60-year-old Alley, who's famously struggled with her fluctuating weight, is very popular, says Wilkinson. Indeed, George Lopez was blasted by fans last week after he compared the Cheers star to a pig on his show.

"I think Kirstie Alley represents for all women in America," says Wilkinson. "Kirstie is the all-American woman, so that's who my competition is."

But it's not just other contestants Wilkinson has to contend with. She's also balancing the show's grueling rehearsal and taping schedule with being a mom to one-year-old son Hank Jr. with hubby Hank Baskett.

"It's a lot easier than I thought it would be," says Wilkinson. "I like to teach him something new everyday -- it's my goal as a mother to do that."

Kendra: People Take DWTS Too Seriously

If Dancing with the Stars were filmed in a nightclub, Kendra Wilkinson would feel more at ease.

"I need to think, this is the club and I need to go out there and show what I really got," the reality star – and DWTS contestant – told PEOPLE this weekend, while hosting a party at the MGM Grand's Wet Republic in Las Vegas.

The Kendra star, 25, who received a lukewarm reception during the first week of the ABC show, said nerves got the better of her and that that she simply needs to let loose and remind herself that she'll never be a professional ballroom dancer.

"I hate how everyone is taking this so serious. People just need to relax and look at it as entertainment, as funny, as fun," she said. "Don't look at it like we're supposed to be pros."

One of the best things about the show, she said, is that the intense practice sessions haven't affected her time with her 15-month-old son, Hank Jr., because he usually sleeps while she's practicing and wakes when she's home.

But, there is one thing she has to do on the show that she was not prepared for: getting "dolled up."

"I lived at the Playboy Mansion, and I was dolled up every now and then. This is like intense dolled up, blue eyeshadow and hair out to outer space," she said. "I didn't even recognize myself on TV. I was like, who is that? I looked like a mermaid."
