“Kendra” has been renewed for a second season. It comes as no surprise, as the reality show documenting the life of the former Playboy model/Hefner accessory and her relationship with Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett has been a huge success for E!, giving the network its strongest debut since “The Anna Nicole Show” began in 2002. It draws about 2 million viewers an episode (twice the time-slot average from a year ago).
“We saw a marriage in Season 1, and now we are going to see Kendra navigate the unfamiliar waters of being a newlywed and a new parent all at the same time,” said Lisa Berger, executive vp original programming and series development at E! “We can’t wait to be there with her every step of the way.”
The network also plans to air two specials in December, when the couple’s first child is due and Kendra moves to New Jersey to live closer to Baskett year-round. [THR]
I’ve finally figured out why I don’t really care about Kendra. It’s because she’s just Jenny McCarthy 2.0, repackaged 15 years later to be a reality star instead of a TV host. And this new Jenny McCarthy model has changed the way most products have since the mid-’90s: smaller, sexier, and dumber.

Not renewed — my faith in America.
Didn’t they already do this show with Jessica Simpson? Dumb blond newly-wed with no domestic skills and some little dogs and a C-list celebrity husband.
I was hoping ‘renewed’ was military slang for ‘shot’
“sexier”? Not sure about that. I can recall “enjoying” Jenny McCarthy’s first Playboy spread and some of her subsequent work. Not sure i could muster much enthusiasm for this skank. I’ll give it a shot though, in the interests of science.
“smaller, sexier, and dumber” – yes, no, and by light years. While I don’t think many will confuse Jenny for a Rhodes Scholar, she certainly carried herself to be a tad brighter than most of that ilk. Kendra is merely walking boobs who can barely speak.
“walking boobs who can barely speak”
I’ll take ten.
Not all of Jenny 2.0 is smaller. Her 4G compatibility is HUGE, ifyaknowhatimsayin.
This isn’t the start of a harmless Kendra post 3 times a week as part of the huge ad buy on your site like that sellout on wwtdd.com, is it?
“Smaller, sexier and dumber” are my goals for future-Mrs. Palehose #2.
I find Kendra to be very likeable. I normally hate these types of people, but there is something about her that makes me like her.
Sort of like rooting for characters in “The Wire” even though they set babies on fire for fun and then shit on their faces. You know these people suck, but you feel bad when they die for some reason.
