Kendra Wilkinson has a plan for nabbing the prized mirror ball trophy on Dancing With the Stars: playing against her strengths.
"I can't look too sexy, that's the key, you know," the E! star, 25, told UsMagazine.com at Monday night's cast reveal. "I'm already known as the Playboy girl, I can't go out there and do that! I have to be ABC appropriate!"

And that means covering up her famous size-two figure. "I'm most nervous about the ballgowns," she told Us. "I couldn't even walk in my wedding dress. I mean, I could walk in skimpy little outfits no problem but when it comes to a gown, and just moving, that's so hard! Let alone dancing! I just don't want to trip and fall."
Thankfully her NFL hubby Hank Baskett is in his off-season and able to watch their 14-month-old tot Hank, IV -- "He's Mr. Mom right now," she said -- because the Kendra star admits she needs some work.

"This isn't just going out there and doing the "Go Kendra" dance, know what I mean?" she said. "This is elegance, this is sophistication, this is etiquette, this is... you know, things I need to work on!"
As for Wilkinson's competition, actress Kirstie Alley, 60, admits she's equally nervous.

"I don't have any dance background except dancing at somebody's party," she told Us. "It's one of those things where you really think you look good when you're dancing. But then catching a glimpse of myself? I'm like 'Oh no, not so much.' You know in a club, there's no mirrors!"
But despite the pair's nerves, pro dancer Karina Smirnoff tells Us she thinks the competition is wide open.

"You can't go wrong, you have everyone from Kirstie Alley who loves to dance and has such a great personality to Hall of Fame Athletes, a pro-wrestler and an icon who is the original Karate Kid," she says. "I would not sleep on this season!"

Rai, her baby is 14 months, not years, duh..... further what is wrong with her wanting to get out and have fun? You act like she is leaving her family. She's not. Kate Gosselin left her kids across the country to do the show last season. Kendra is in the same County!!! Got your stupidity is pathetic. Kendra is entitled to a little fun and downtime as well as the next mother. She is a good mother and a good wife. She has a plan and that doesn't include screwing up her life. Why can't anyone ever be positive? Oh wait, I know, cuz you're JEALOUS..... get a life. I think Kendra will be great. She's funny, she's real, she's gorgeous and has way more class than the trashy Kim Kardashian. Go Kendra~!!! You have my vote girl :)
Thank you Kendra Wilkinson i needed a good laugh lol
How much time are they away from home to practice?? Sorry but i wouldnt be leaving my 14 year old for some dancing show! Just my two cents!
