Why Kendra Wilkinson Cried After the Super Bowl

It was an emotional scene after the Super Bowl: Kendra Wilkinson in tears as she rushed out of the stadium holding her baby son.



But the reality star says she wasn't upset over the Indianapolis Colts' loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday in a game in which her husband Hank Baskett mishandled an on-side kick, leading to a Saints scoring drive.

"I wasn't cryin cuz of the damn game it's cuz the paparazzi have no soul... they wouldn't leave me n family alone!!!!" she wrote on her Twitter page Monday.

She added: "People like to twist this stuff... we asked them to stop cuz of the baby n they were way too close n they didn't care at allllllll."

NBC takes record $206 million in Super Bowl ads

NBC Sports scored a major victory with its record $206 million in ad revenue from Sunday's Super Bowl game.

For the full day, including the pre- and postgame shows, the network division brought in $261 million, also a record.

The figures are especially significant in light of the advertising economy's decline in the months since NBC Sports completed its coverage of the Beijing Olympics in the summer.

NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker and NBC Sports & Olympics chairman Dick Ebersol hailed the sales efforts under NBC Sports ad sales chief Seth Winter. NBC reported selling 85 percent of its Super Bowl inventory by Labor Day, which is also noteworthy considering that it had to sell ad time for the Beijing Olympics during that period as well.

"This is an extraordinary story for NBC against the backdrop of this economy," Zucker said in a statement released over the weekend.
