Thomas M. Menino - the longest-serving mayor in the history of the city of Boston - died today at the age of 71.

Menino was elected to his post back in 1993. He retired earlier this year after overseeing a decades-long urban renewal project that revitalized the appearance and identity of the city in which he was born and raised.

Just two months after stepping down in January of 2014, Menino announced that he was battling an advanced form of cancer that had spread to his liver and lymph nodes.

Menino's most notable achievement in recent years may have been serving as a source of strength and guidance for frightened citizens in the wake of the Boston marathon bombing of 2013.

"Bold, big-hearted, and Boston strong, Tom was the embodiment of the city he loved and led for more than two decades," said President Obama in a statement issued earlier today.

"As Boston's longest-serving mayor, Tom helped mane his hometown the vibrant, welcoming, world-class place it is today. His legacy lives on in every neighborhood he helped revitalize, every school he helped turn around, and every neighborhood he helped make a safer, better place to live."

Menino leaves behind his wife Angela, as well as two children and six grandchildren.

Celebrities We Lost in 2014

1. Philip Seymour Hoffman

R.I.P. Philip Seymour Hoffman (1967-2014). He will forever be missed!

A few days after Toys R Us caved to pressure and pulled a few controversial Breaking Bad action figures off its shelves, a mother in Kansas is now hoping Babies R Us responds in similar fashion.

To a petition to get the Kardashians out of their stores!

23 Eye-Katching Kardashian Red Karpet Photos

1. Kisses from the Kardashians

The Kardashians blow some kisses our way in this appearance. This is a photo from their fragrance launch in 2011.

Amie Logan has started a petition on Change.org that urges the chain to stop selling the Kardashian clothing line because she doesn't want her "child to grow up to be a Sex Tape star."

Really. Her petition (awesomely) says that.

"You pulled the Breaking Bad toys because they promoted Drug use," Logan writes, addressing the company in her diatribe, which raises the following point:

"You should pull this clothing line because it promotes bad behavior as well. The madness has to stop. If the toys are damaging so is the clothing."

The Kardashian family's clothing line on sale at the store currently includes a pleather mini skirt, a leopard print faux fur vest and pleather leggings.

Parents are mostly worked up over fact that these items are designed for infants ages 0-24 months, which helps explain why Logan's petition has over 9,000 signatures.

No word from Kim or Kris or anyone regarding this drama as of press time, but we think Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul makes the best point out of everyone:

Why is no one talking about Barbie and the negative influence she has on young girls around the globe? Seriously ... that question needs to be answered.

11 Unbelievable Barbie Photos

1. Barbie With No Makeup

Barbie with no makeup looks different, that's for sure. A lot different.

Last week, the world learned that Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star June Shannon is dating a convicted child molester by the name of Mark McDaniel. 

Shannon claimed she's cut ties with McDaniel at the time of his arrest 10 years ago. Initially, Shannon's family corroborated her story.

Shortly after the scandal broke, however, the already shocking story took an even more appalling turn as June's daughter Anna Shannon revealed that she was McDaniel's victim and stated that she no longer believes her mother's story. 

Now after a week of denials and a mountain of evidence, June has reportedly confessed that she has been spending time with the man who molested her daughter, but insists she only did so because she "feels bad" for McDaniel:

Anonymous sources claim that following the release of photos showing McDaniel in the company of Shannon's youngest daughter, Alana, "Mama June" finally admitted to contacting McDaniel and allowing him into her home.

"June insists that Mark only wanted to apologize for what happened with Anna," an insider tells Radar Online. "She felt bad for Mark and wanted to help him get back on his feet."

"Alana did spend time with June and Mark, but she insists he was never alone with her."

Given that McDaniel served ten years in prison for sexually assaulting one of her daughters, and June initially lied about being in contact with him, her justification seems unlikely to win her much sympathy. 

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Family

1. Reality TV Family

This family is way more famous than you are. It's just unclear why, exactly.

Vince Vaughn is in as a career criminal trying to go legitimate.

Colin Farrell is on board as a detective with a shady past.

Taylor Kitsch has confirmed that'll be playing some role and rumors continue to circulate that Rachel McAdams will join the cast as a colleague of Farrell's.

So, who else may be taking part in True Detective Season 2?

According to Deadline, four new names/faces have surfaced as strong contenders for the next edition of this critically-acclaimed drama.

The new report states that Michael Irby will play Elvis, McAdams’ character’s partner.

Leven Rambin will play a woman with a checkered history.

Kelly Reilly will play“the self-possessed Morgan,” whatever that means.

And Abigail Spencer will play the survivor of a sexual assault.

HBO is yet to confirm any of these names. The network, in fact, has only announced that Vaughn and Farrell will be anchoring the True Detective Season 2 cast.

It has also said that the season will center on three cops and a criminal, all of whom must react to some kind of conspiracy that takes place in the aftermath of a murder.

Filming will soon be underway, with new episodes scheduled to premiere in the spring of 2015. So it's safe to assume the network has to make some follow-up announcements one of these days.

As for our True Detective Season 2 casting suggestions...

Jill Duggar has posted another cute baby bump shot after a relative hiatus from Instagram, and boy has our girl popped since her last profile photo.

See #BabyDilly really showing in her 19 week picture below!

Jill Duggar Baby Bump Photos

1. Jill Duggar Baby Bump: 19 Weeks!

Jill Duggar's baby bump sure has popped here at the 19 week mark!

She's officially in her second trimester, and boy can you tell.

BOY, we sure can. Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard are expecting one, if you hadn't heard. They confirmed the gender, and shared the news, as soon as they could.

The proud soon-to-be dad, who entered into a covenant marriage with Jill just six months ago, shared a sweet snapshot of his beautiful and expectant wife.

"Just about halfway now to meeting our son!" Derick wrote.

While you couldn't see much of a bump when she was 11, 12 or 13 weeks along and posing for these pics, Jill Duggar most definitely looks pregnant now.

Not that she would keep anyone wondering, but if there were any doubt that she's with child and not just putting on a few pounds, that doubt is outta here.

She's 19 weeks and Counting. Too perfect, isn't it?

While she'll only be that far along once (per pregnancy), you can watch 19 Kids and Counting online over and over again to relive the duo's wedding.

It aired this past week, and was simply magical.

1. Their First Meeting (Sort Of)!

The Arkansas natives grew up within 45 minutes of each other, but didn't meet until late 2011. Jill recalled when Derick stopped by while caroling with a church group, and not long after, "Derick contacted my dad and asked if he would be a prayer partner during his two-year term in Nepal."

Talk show host and despicable human being Wendy Williams has a long history of shouting offensive BS in order to help her remain relevant.

For example earlier this month, Williams told Jennifer Lawrence to "shut up" after the actress spoke for the first time about the nude scandal that affected hundreds of female celbrities.

Classy stuff. On Monday, Williams set her sights on another celeb in the midst of a traumatic crisis, and she has yet to respond to the outrage that's resulted from her latest comments:

Wendy Williams on Bruce Jenner Sex Change

As you've likely heard, reports that Bruce Jenner is undergoing a sex change seemed to be verified this week after Jenner was spotted wearing what appeared to be red nail polish.

Williams addressed the Jenner rumors and the delicate issue of gender identity with her trademark tact and compassion:

"Thank God he waited for his kids to grow up before making this transition or whatever it is he's going through," Williams said on her talk show today.

"Can you imagine how awful it would be for those kids if he showed up with a blowout, a shaved Adam's apple, pink nail polish, smoking a cigarette at a PTA meeting?"

As you might have guessed, LGBT rights groups were less than thrilled with Wendy's commentary:

"To suggest that a person's nail polish or hairstyle would inflict harm on their children is just ludicrous," said a spokesperson for GLAAD. "What does inflict harm, however, is gross and invasive speculation about a person's gender identity."

Yes, Williams exposed her ignorance in many ways through that comment. Come on, as if Bruce Jenner would ever attend a PTA meeting! Kendall and Kylie quit school years ago!

Bruce Jenner Hairstyles: Through the Years

1. The Mop Top

Bruce Jenner won Olympic Gold in 1976, despite a mop top full of hair that bounced all around during the Decathlon.

When does some simple corn maze fun turn into an all-out disaster?

As evidenced by events on The Vampire Diaries Season 6 Episode 5... when Ivy gets loose in Mystic Falls, partially eats some guy to death, that guy stumbles in front of Tyler's truck, and Tyler subsequently plows through the Homecoming party.

OUCH! Times, like, 79.

Watch The Vampire Diaries Season 6 Episode 5 Online

The corn massacre left many developments in its wake. To wit:

The dude Tyler hit was pretty much a goner. That meant Tyler's werewolf curse would be triggered.

But Liv stepped in and actually suffocated the guy to death, meaning she technically ended his life, doing Tyler a serious solid. He thanked her profusely and said he'd live up to the favor.

Liam showed off his skills, saving many lives due to some serious medical skills, turning Elena on in the process and acting like a "hero" on her eyes. She kissed him as a result.

Jo and Alaric also saved some lives, prompting the former to pour out her feelings to the latter after all was said and done and no one died. But Alaric isn't in a place where he can date, so he compelled her to forget all she felt...

... except she kissed him anyway, seemingly oblivious to the compulsion.

Ivy, meanwhile, ended up getting apprehended by Tripp, with Caroline looking on. Uh-oh!

Finally, in 1994: Bonnie realized that Kai needed her alive because the spell that locked him on May 10 was a Bennett spell. So only a Bennett witch could do it. Bonnie killed Kai when she realized they didn't need him...

... except he came back to life because of the curse/spell. He's destined to relive May 10,1994 over and over and over again.

As he fought with Bonnie and Damon, Bonnie tossed Damon the Ascendent and said some magic words and sent him back to present day Mystic Falls. (Killing herself in the process?)

We ended the hour with Stefan and Damon reuniting via a tear-filled hug that left our living room very, very, very dusty.

What did everyone else think of the episode? Are you glad Damon is back in Mystic Falls? Do you think we've seen the last of Bonnie? And what are your thoughts on Bonnie?

The Vampire Diaries Season 6 Episode 6 Promo

Troubled actress Amanda Bynes has been released from the psychiatric facility where she had been held for weeks and was seen walking around alone last night.

Photographers captured her roaming the Sunset Strip late Thursday in L.A.

Needless to say, her abrupt release marks a stunning and dubious turn of events given all we know about her recent actions and medical prognosis.

According to reports, the 28-year-old went before a hearing officer at the psychiatric facility in Pasadena where she was recently placed under a 5150 hold.

She asked to be released, and she was. Why?

Bynes been on her medication and appears lucid, even though her psychiatric hold had been extended by 30 days and doctors believe she is seriously mentally ill.  

The hearing officer evidently felt otherwise, ENDING the 30-day hold that had been granted just last week to extend the 72-hour and 14-day periods prior to that.

Just like that, Amanda walked out the door.

TMZ reports that Amanda walked down Sunset Blvd., searching for a place to stay in the hours after she was cut loose, and hit up a diner for some food.

Apparently, she was making small talk with the waiter, saying she was being shy because she had just a procedure on her face which required a bandage.  

She was alone and was talking to herself.

Bynes had been looking hotel room but had been turned down at several places, and it's not clear if she ended up getting one or what happened later last night.

45 Seriously OMG WTF Amanda Bynes Photos

1. Amanda Bynes is Dope

Amanda Bynes thinks she is dope. The actress has posted this photo to Twitter.

As such, the rest of us are left to wonder:

1. How her parents could have possibly let their legal conservatorship lapse this summer, leading to Bynes' DUI arrest and epic downward spiral;
2. How doctors could be granted a 30-day psychiatric hold that can just be undone by someone who thinks the person acts fine for a few minutes;
3. If Sam Lutfi is somehow involved.

Story developing ...

Late last night, Kim Kardashian threw it back to Halloweens of yesterday and teased her Twitter followers that she has four costumes from which to choose today.

But while the reality star may still be keeping us in the dark regarding her final choice, Kim has come out via Instagram and revealed that her daughter is dressed like a ... skunk?!?

Apparently.

"A skunk is on the loose!!!! My little stinker is waiting to show daddy her costume," Kim wrote as a caption to the above image. "Halloween has started early this morning."

Don't get us wrong: North West is frickin adorable.

But why do we get the feeling that Kim and Kanye West only chose this costume for their toddler because it matches the family's black-and-white checkered floor in their famous Calabasas home?

After all... a skunk?!?

Of all the animals in God's beautiful kingdom, it's hard to believe North would choose to dress as the worst smelling of them all.

Still, it's impossible to go wrong with a one-year old in an animal costume. Nori knows how to make this work. Gotta give her credit.

1. Morning, Kim and Nori!

It's Kim Kardashian and daughter Nori! The former posted this photo online with a simple caption: Good morning.

Are Khloe Kardashian and French Montana back together, or in a place where that might happen soon? He alluded to that very possibility in a recent interview.

French Montana on Khloe Kardashian

Outspoken host Wendy Williams cut right to the chase, immediately diving into his relationship with the reality star and asking if the two are still dating.

“Like every relationship you break up and you make up,” Montana said, alluding to a potential reconciliation with the Keeping up with the Kardashians star.

The rapper didn't really offer any concrete answers, and certainly didn't put a label on anything, but acknowledged, “Right now we’re on real good terms.”

“So you’re still boyfriend/girlfriend,” Williams asked.

"We’re in a real special zone right now," he said.

“She’s gonna be my baby forever.”

You can see the two in full force on Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons Season 1 Episode 1 this Sunday night, but they recently split after 10 months of dating.

Or did they?

Khloe Kardashian and French Montana Photos

1. Khloe Kardashian Gun Photo

Really, Khloe Kardashian and French Montana?!? The couple poses here with a machine gun online.

The relationship began somewhat scandalously, though as Montana pointed out to Williams, Khloe is still married to Lamar Odom, while he's divorced now.

French was also grilled on the publicity factor, with Williams noting that a lot of people had no idea who he is, and now after Khloe, everyone seems to.

Wendy asked if it was all a publicity stunt, and Montana was paid to be on the show. He said yes he was paid, but denied that he faked any feelings.

“I feel like when you meet somebody you really like, I don’t think you really worry about that stuff,” he said of his connection with the reality star.

As for French cheating on Trina with Khloe, the rapper denied that they were ever a couple or anything like that, which makes it hard to call it cheating.

Ouch, Trina.

He stopped short of calling Khloe is girlfriend (Williams said it, not him), but French had nothing but positive things to say about her, so who knows.

Of course, the best way to make people watch Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons online is to keep 'em guessing. It all makes so much sense now.

It doesn't take much to get a cat's attention.

Sometimes, in fact, all it takes is a cat's very own tail. Admittedly, that body part can be especially fascinating.

Other times, something as innocent as a lemon can cause a feline to totally flip out and do battle with an inanimate object, clearing wondering: What the heck is this thing?

And then other times, a cat can become transfixed by, well... we have no idea by what. But good luck breaking the concentration of this adorable furry friend:

What could he possibly be staring at?!? A fly? A neighbor cat? Pictures of Kate Upton nude?

15 Crazy Cat Selfies

1. Hey Bruh

Yo B. Watchu doin'?

Kylie Jenner is pretty darn livid with mother Kris Jenner these days, and has been acting out more than ever as a result, according to a new report.

The 17-year-old, Kris' youngest of six children, had a "blowout fight” with her Momager when she returned from her trip to Europe with rapper Tyga.

The reason for this is that Jenner had been discussing Kylie Jenner and Tyga's relationship with the media, which made the teen completely irate.

Last week, Kris called into On Air With Ryan Seacrest to promote her new cookbook, In The Kitchen With Kris, and said, “Kylie isn’t dating anybody."

"Tyga used to live across the street for a long time, and now he lives next door to Khloe. Everyone’s around and with the way I cook, they’re not leaving.”

Innocent and harmless enough? Perhaps ... but not as Kylie sees it.

Says a purported friend of the youngest Kardashian-Jenner sister:

“Kylie did not give her mom permission to discuss her relationship with Tyga to anyone, including Seacrest! When she returned from Europe, she was livid."

Kylie Jenner Lips: SEE THE TRANSFORMATION!

1. Kylie Jenner Then and Now

Kylie Jenner now and just a few years ago. She looks a tad different.

This beef has been a long time coming, people who know them say.

"Kylie told her mom to stay out of her life and keep ‘focusing on Kim as she always has,’" a great dig at both her mom and the family kash kow.

Friends say Kylie is increasingly fed up with her mom's meddling:

As a result, she's rebelling with more and more provocative social media posts and the like, hence this week's surge in pics of Kylie Jenner's lips.

“Kylie and Kris have a real bad relationship right now and Kylie is doing everything that she can to defy her mom,” the insider adds, and it shows.

Bruce and the older Kardashians “Blame Kris [for Kylie’s wild behavior] because Kylie is only 17, and Kris needs to have more authority over her."

That ship might have sailed at this point ... but here's hoping.

And how does the boy react to the news? See for yourself:

Parents Prank Child: You Have Ebola!

The footage was uploaded to the Instagram account of the boy's uncle, who responded to critics that came down harshly on the prank by explaining its origin thusly... and angrily:

FOR YALL IGNORANT DUMB MFS TALKING SHIT ABOUT A 6SECOND VIDEO WE PRANKED MY LIL COUSON BECAUSE HE CAME UP TO HIS MOTHER AND TOLD HER HE HAD EBOLA SO SINCE HE THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY WE PRANKED HIM TO MAKE HIM THINK HE HAD EBOLA SO HE WOULD STOP PLAYING AROUND.

26 Totally Amazing Pranks

1. Walking Dead Zombies Stalk NYC Residents

In order to promote The Walking Dead, AMC sent some zombie to New York City to scare the heck out of residents. Watch what transpired here.

Forget Kylie Jenner's lips. VH1 reality star Tiny just underwent the wildest cosmetic procedure you've ever heard of, changing her eye color from brown to gray.

For good.

Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, best known as T.I.'s wife and co-star on their VH1 reality show, revealed her new eye-popping (sort of literally) new look this week.

Along with a close-up of her new ice-gray eyes, she wrote on Instagram:

“I permanently changed my eye color with Brightocular and lovin it!! Huge thanks to the incredible doctor for the amazing experience and for making my dream come true!”

Brightocular is essentially a permanent colored contact that is applied over one's actual iris, a controversial concept that has sparked lots of debate.

Is that even safe? Not enough to have it done in the U.S., at least not yet. As for why she decided to have this done, and if its something she’ll regret?

“I had been wearing colored contacts for a couple of years and they were making my vision blurry,” said Tiny to People, looking to quiet some of the critics.

“A friend of mine mentioned that she had heard of a procedure where you could permanently change your eye color and we looked into it."

"We researched it for a bit but I was nervous because … it’s your eyes! But two years later it came up again. I spoke to the doctors and to patients who’d had it."

25 Heinous Celebrity Plastic Surgery Fails

1. Heidi Montag Boob Job!

The queen of plastic surgery. It's shocking how different Heidi Montag used to look and how badly this obsession turned out for her.

"I learned that there was no downtime, that it only took about 15 minutes ... plus it’s reversible. When I found out that your could reverse it, I was sold.”

“The implant that they use to cover your natural eye color is a medical implant usually used on patients with eye illnesses like glaucoma,” Tiny explained.

It costs around $10,000 ... not including your plane ticket to Tunisia, one of the few places you can legally have it done. The only other price she paid?

Not being able to wear makeup for weeks. It's rough. We can only hope to see this when we watch T.I. and the Family Hustle online in the future.

As for the “haters” she faces? Tiny has a parting shot: “Do what makes you happy. As long as you’re being healthy and safe, just do what makes you feel good."

“People are saying I must have low self-esteem, but if you really know me, I have no problems in the self esteem department!” Cottle says emphatically.

"[T.I.] always thinks I’m crazy. But when I told him I researched it he didn’t have a problem with it. He loved my eyes before and he loves them now too."

"He just loves me.”

Aww.

Sunday night on Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons Season 1 Episode 1, Scott Disick reveals to Khloe that he's been going through a lot lately.

To those who follow the Kardashians, this is the understatement of all time.

Kourtney & Khloe Take The Hamptons Clip - Scott is Anxious

With the premiere of Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons Season 1 Episode 1, we finally get to see the events of this summer from behind the scenes.

In Khloe - not partner Kourtney - Scott finds a kindred spirit to open up to.

Scott, as fans know, lost both of his parents in the past year, whole Khloe suffered a loss of her own in the crumbling of her marriage to Lamar Odom.

Given his penchant for getting plastered, Kourtney is wary of putting the father of her two (soon to be three) kids in situations where he may lose control.

Scott grew up in the Hamptons, and his parents lived there until their recent deaths, so their summer rental home choice may be the worst one ever.

Disick says just being there makes him want to "jump out of my skin, it's that bad." No wonder Scott was hospitalized with alcohol poisoning this summer.

In the above sneak peek, Scott opens up about his anxiety and admits he only sleeps 3-4 hours per night, and needs to use medication to get that much.

Khloe sympathizes with Scott and confesses that she "didn't even want to leave her house" during the most difficult points during her split from Lamar.

At least Khloe Kardashian and French Montana had (have?) each other. Scott has Kourtney, who isn't winning points with either Khloe or her man.

13 Photos of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick That Make Us Wonder If They're in Love

1. This Ain't Good

Scott says it all with his reaction to Kourtney's third pregnancy.

If Kourtney thinks she's being helpful, she best think again, they concur.

More than a few people have wondered if Scott and Kourtney are even happy together, and their summer on Long Island will certainly raise that question.

On the flip side, the couple has lasted longer than any of Kim or Khloe's relationships, and have weathered some pretty serious issues over the years.

All will be revealed starting this Sunday night on E! at 9 EST.

With this extra special Halloween video produced for her extra special web series, Courtney Stodden proves once again that she is a woman of many talents.

And ample curves. Very, extremely ample curves.

Courtney Stodden Halloween Video

While this display doesn't quite compare to hot fudge cascading down her cleavage a la Courtney Stodden's Ice Bucket Challenge video, it's close.

Visually, both experiences are a lot to take in.

Stodden's web show, Courtney Naturally, periodically features her doing ... whatever it is she does. And no, we don't mean Doug Hutchison. Yet.

You know that'll be on an episode eventually.

Here, fans can bear witness to the 20-year-old's sublime pumpkin carving skills, hear her recount a seriously spooky ghost story, and other Halloween fun.

Oh, and she's not wearing a bra. Wow.

This is one stimulating video, with something for everyone on this 31st day and night of October. You'll no doubt be exploding with Halloween spirit.

Seriously. You'll burst with enjoyment.

You should probably expect nightmares afterward, however, and for people to give you some really interesting looks if you dare press play in public.

Just had to add that disclaimer.

Virgin Galactic, the rocket ship owned by Richard Branson on which many celebrities had planned to blast off into space, crashed this afternoon in California’s Mojave Desert.

Reports indicate that one co-pilot died in the accident, while others were seriously injured and at least one individual airlifted to a local hospital.

Reads a statement released by Virgin:

"Virgin Galactic's partner Scaled Composites conducted a powered test flight of SpaceShipTwo earlier today. During the test, the vehicle suffered a serious anomaly resulting in the loss of the vehicle."

The names of those on board at the time of the accident have not been released.

Branson confirmed the tragedy on Twitter, writing:

"Thoughts with all @virgingalactic & Scaled, thanks for all your messages of support. I'm flying to Mojave immediately to be with the team."

Virgin Galactic had planned for years to sell trips in which the vehicle transports passengers approximately 62 miles above Earth, allowing them to experience a few minutes of weightlessness before returning to ground.

In June of last year, Justin Bieber said that he and manager Scooter Braun had signed on to take one of the $250,000-a-person commercial suborbital flights, even claiming he would love to film a video in space.

Also, Lady Gaga had said she hoped to board a Virgin Galactic flight in 2015 and perform a song as part of the Zero G Colony music festival.

Weather does not appear to have been a factor in today's crash, as the rocket had successfully separated from its carrier plane during all of its 34 previous flights.

Our thoughts go out to the victims on board.

Last night's Kendra on Top Season 3 Episode 8 and Episode 9, airing back to back on WEtv, showed Kendra Wilkinson struggling to come to grips with ... well, life.

Considering what Hank Baskett did with Ava London, that's a tall order.

Watch Kendra on Top Season 3 Episode 8 Online

There was a lot of Kendra crying to go around, along with some thoroughly manufactured storylines to kill time as she reached out to the other men in her life.

Kicking things off on Kendra on Top Season 3 Episode 8 was an appearance by Hugh Hefner, her "boyfriend" back in the day and an expert on relationships.

Kendra, somehow brought her two young kids with her to the Playboy mansion, asked the man who made her famous what she should do about Hank.

After some deep thinking, Hef processed this as best he could.

He offered Wilkinson advice, talking about second chances and positing that it sounds like Hank was set up, a theory Kendra has espoused in recent weeks.

Hugh doesn't deny that Hank "f--ked up" (or that the whole situation is), but says "everyone deserves a second chance,” and he speaks from experience.

He certainly gave one to Crystal Harris, and he's happy now.

Hef also encouraged Kendra to call her dad, who she had not spoken to in forever and not even seen in the past 20 years, and who is now in Costa Rica.

Cue forced Kendra on Top Season 3 Episode 9 storyline!

Is she ready to see him? Will he disappoint her again, as her mom Patti tends to whenever Kendra needs filler for her show and extends that olive branch?

Not sure she can answer those questions herself, but Kendra uses the Internet to find her dad, her web search is successful and they talk over the phone.

Kendra hasn’t seen Eric since she was a kid, making it even more strange that he says he watched her life unfold in the tabloids but never reached out.

But hey, Eric invites Kendra to visit him in Costa Rica.

More on that trip (which she does make) in the coming weeks. Now it's time for more pressing matters, as Kendra visits cheating Hank at his apartment.

She grills him uncomfortably on fetishes and women with penises, asking if he went to cheat on her and only realized it was a transsexual after ...

You know. Not surprisingly, Hank ain't talkin' about it.

All he has to say is that he's devoted to her and wants her back, and she agrees to let him live at the house again, but make no mistake, it is NOT fine:

"We’re not married," she says. “I’m not your wife.”

Clearly, those things will have to come with time ... like when they renew their vows on Marriage Boot Camp. Yes, that supposedly happened this week.

1. Kendra and 2 Hanks

There was a time when Kendra and Hank looked to be a very happy couple. This photo was snapped in 2012.

Do you believe Hank was set up? Should she take him back? Did Hef read cue cards the entire time or just most of the time? Is any of this possibly real?
