The Girls Next Door's Kendra Wilkinson apparently loves the Olive Garden, but the feeling isn't mutual. While the buxom blond has been professing her love for the Italian food chain for years, the franchise would rather not be associated with the 23-year-old adult entertainment star and aspiring real estate mogul.

"I love the Olive Garden so much because I grew up going there," Wilkinson once said on the Girls Next Door. "That used to be the place we would go for Mother's day, for birthdays. My grandpa just died, and right after his funeral, we went to the Olive Garden."

Wilkinson plugged the restaurant chain even more when she once took a trip to Italy, and when asked about the food, she said that it didn't compare to the Olive Garden's and that she likes Olive Garden the best.

Wow.

And while other franchises pay millions to have celebrities endorse their chain, the Olive Garden would rather not have Wilkinson tarnish their family-friendly image. Michele Kay, the executive vice president of WPP Group's Grey advertising firm, which handles the Olive Garden account, said to the Wall Street Journal, "I don't feel comfortable talking about this… because it is a complicated issue for the brand."

Wilkinson took her MySpace page reinstating her intentions and love towards the Olive Garden. "I don't speak about it to get paid for it," she said. "I speak about it because I love it. I understand they're a family restaurant, but I think it can't hurt them to have a little spice."

Awwww, the girl just wants to get her breadstick on!
