The incident was discussed on The Girls Next Door.[2] Kendra also showed her creative side as a rapper on MTV's Celebrity Rap Superstar which debuted on August 30, 2007. Wilkinson rapped to Ludacris’ “Fantasy”, apparently in response to the question asked by the show's host, “Can Kendra move her mouth as fast as she moves her booty?”[3] She went on to take second place, losing to Shar Jackson on October 18, 2007.
Her stated career goal is to become a massage therapist or sports announcer. As of December 2005, she has become a regular "blogger" columnist at the website of the Philadelphia Eagles,[4] the team for which her mother had been a professional cheerleader.[5]
