Soon-to-be mommy, Kendra Wilkinson, is putting her Playboy party girl ways behind her and prepping for motherhood.   The former playmate is looking up to none other than former bad-girl Nicole Richie for inspiration.

Of Richie, Kendra says:

“I look up to Nicole… She is the girl that I mostly look up to because she is more like me. She gives me the feeling of, ‘She did it and I can do it.’ She makes me feel good about what she’s accomplished.”

Kendra and hubby Hank’s baby, Hank Baskett IV, is due in December.
