Kendra Wilkinson Apologizes To Hef

Kendra Wilkinson is looking to clear up her remarks about living with Hugh Hefner and sneaking sex away from the Mansion.

"I'm more upset at myself with what I said," Kendra tells E! News. "I'm really bad at interviews, and anyone who knows me knew I meant no harm...I'm a goofball. Mostly, I'm very sorry to have hurt Hef...Playboy made me who I am, and Hef has done more for me than anyone else.
"In my heart, I will always love Hef and Playboy."

Kendra was so sorry, she stopped by the Mansion to apologize in person. "Hef was hurt, but he understands," she says. "He knows me and knows what came out of the article was not me at all."

Gossip Girl Star Kelly Rutherford Trying To Ban Husband From Traveling With Their Son

In emergency papers filed Jan. 9, Kelly sought to bar Giersch from traveling outside the United States with their son Hermes for fear they'd disappear.

"I feel there is some risk that he will leave the country with Hermes and I will not know where they are," the actress said in a declaration, adding that during their marriage, he spoke of a pending investigation in his native Germany that could lead to his arrest.

Kelly also asked the court to allow her to travel to New York for work with their son. In his own filing in L.A. Superior Court, Giersch said that he served as Hermes' caretaker at their home in Los Angeles while Kelly commuted to the set of Gossip Girl in New York and her work schedule is why their marriage didn't work out.

He also stated that the actress has a bad temper and once threw a laptop at him and spends too much time at weekly beauty appointments.

Kelly is seeking sole physical custody with monitored visitation; Giersch wants sole legal and physical custody with visitation for her.

A judge denied Kelly's request regarding travel with Hermes, but set a court date of Jan. 21 to further hear the matter. The couple married in 2006. Their second child is due in June.

More Drama On Grey's Anatomy

Joining the list of rocky exits from Grey's Anatomy is the Australian actress, whose last day filming was Tuesday.

And although she's publicly said that she left the show to "do something else," a source tells Star that she'd had it with show creator Shonda Rhimes.

After being courted by Shonda to play lesbian character Sadie Harris on the floundering ABC show, Melissa finally agreed to take the role. But soon after signing on for eight episodes with the option of a more permanent arrangement, she noticed that her role was being cut considerably.

"So many pages were being cut from my character every week," Melissa told a friend. "I was supposed to have a full-blown love affair with Callie (played by Sara Ramirez), but Shonda said the network was making too many notes on the storyline.

At first she commiserated with me, but then when I'd complain, she wouldn't even talk about it. My agents calls went unanswered, and I wasn't just going to sit there. Shonda promised me something and she didn't deliver. That's when I decided it's time to go."

Melissa went on to tell her pal that Shonda is "a nightmare. She's really lovely — until she wants to punish you."

The actress — who was up for a Golden Gobe last week for her role in In Treatment — hasn't said what she's doing next, but we suspect she'll land on her feet.

Malia Obama Documents The Ride To D.C.

President-elect Barack Obama launched his whistle-stop tour on a restored 1930s train car to Washington, D.C. on Saturday – which happened to be wife Michelle's 45th birthday .

Daughter Malia snapped pictures on a small digital camera – of her father in profile and of little sister Sasha, 7, leaning into Mom on stage inside Philadelphia's 30th Street Station.

But the photojournalists and paparazzi chronicling the incoming president's every move this pre-inauguration weekend need not fear any "inside" competition: "She's only taken a couple [photos], playing with someone else's camera," an Obama aide tells PEOPLE.

Close family friend Dr. Eric Whitaker brought his children along, giving Malia and Sasha some playmates for the 137-mile trip tracing the same route Abraham Lincoln took as he traveled to his own inauguration in 1861.

Stopping in Wilmington, Del., Obama announced his wife's birthday to the shivering crowd who broke into a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday."

Mrs. Obama, her hands sheathed in long purple leather gloves, smiled and applauded. Further along the route, while Mom and Dad braved the icy cold in Baltimore's War Memorial Plaza, the girls stayed on the train, decorating one car with balloons and pink crepe-paper streamers.

After the Baltimore rally, Mrs. Obama was greeted back aboard the train with a shrieked "Mommy!" as Malia reached up to cover her mother's eyes and lead her into the birthday car.

Malia dropped her hand and, as Mrs. Obama took in the surprise, a party hat-wearing Sasha jumped up and down and draped a lei over her mother's neck while Malia took pictures.

Someone cued a boombox and Mrs. Obama and her girls had a little impromptu dance party before the train pulled away. Aides said the soon-to-be first lady would be treated to cake on board before the 10-car Amtrak train reached the nation's capital Saturday evening.

Christie Brinkley Still Dons Milk Mustache

The former Sports Illustrated supermodel is helping launch a new campaign to reintroduce Americans to Milk as Nature's wellness drink.

She's also helping make history — Brinkley was one of the first celebrities to don the white upper lip, proudly wearing a milk mustache in 1995 when the iconic campaign first premiered.

This time around, Brinkley is helping launch the "Drink Well. Live Well" initiative for the national Milk Mustache "Got Milk" Campaign at this year's Sundance Film Festival.

"I've been drinking milk all of my life and I think it's a vital part of living well," said Brinkley. "As a busy mom constantly on the move, I may not always have an extra hour to hit the gym, but I always have time to grab a glass of milk. It's one of the simplest things you can do every day and feel good about, for you and your family

Casey Affleck Makes Documentary

Who could be in a better position to understand Joaquin Phoenix than Casey Affleck? They're both the younger brothers of superstars — Casey's big bro Ben Affleck and Joaquin's revered late sibling River Phoenix — who have managed to step out of the shadows and earn accolades of their own.

And what better way for Casey to begin his new career as a director than to make a documentary about Joaquin, who recently retired from acting (or so he says) to focus on making music?

So that was the scene on Friday night at club LAVO inside The Palazzo in Las Vegas, where a barely recognizable Joaquin, who surprised many with his singing chops when he portrayed Johnny Cash in Walk the Line, stepped on stage before a curious crowd and in front of Casey's cameras.
