Kate Gosselin in 'Playboy'? No thanks, says Hef

Since you were obviously wondering whether Hugh Hefner would like to see Kate Gosselin do a Playboy spread, E!’s Marc Malkin has the official word. “No! No!” says Hef. “I don’t think she’s a celebrity,” he added, citing his former rabbit-eared concubine Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett as a better example of a celebrity. To be fair, we’ll probably see Kate nude as soon as she performs another fast-paced Latin routine on Dancing With the Stars. (Or is she a never-nude?)

The results of yesterday’s PopWatch poll, “Kate Gosselin’s tenure on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ has been…” are in: Horrifying 73%, Hypnotic 3%, Horrifying But Hypnotic 24%. That last figure is a huge coup for Kate! In other Planet Mirrorballus news…

• Kate Gosselin says getting half-baked praise from the judges feels “amazing.” [People]
• Nicole Scherzinger’s forehead jewels for last night’s rumba came from Princess Sparkle (house band singer Carmen Carter)’s own line of headpieces, Crystals By Carmen (!!!)
