Kendra Wilkinson's Role Model Mom: Nicole Richie

Pregnant Kendra Wilkinson says she hopes she'll be as great a mother as Hollywood mom-of-two Nicole Richie.

The former Playmate, who is expecting her first baby on Christmas Day, says that she and Nicole share a similar past, which is why she looks to the House Of Harlow designer as a role model.

"She went through the same stages in life that I went through," Kendra tells In Touch of Nicole, who has kids Harlow, 21 months, and Sparrow, 1 month. "Drugs, alcohol, all of that... It just makes me feel so good to see her go through that and then have two kids and be such a great mom."

The 24-year-old Girls Next Door star says that Nicole's transformation is inspiring.

"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."
