| Jennicide in Playboy? Finally! |
All you multi-tablers’ dreams have finally come true (and if hours of playing nine simultaneous sit ‘n go's hasn’t already given you carpal tunnel, this probably will). The long-lingering rumors about Jennifer “Jennicide” Leigh posing in Playboy appear to be true. In an interview Jen was asked “What do you consider your greatest moment?” She replied with, “I did Playboy last year. This is going to be real big. It'll be a six-page pictorial coming out beginning of April.”
She then went on to give her reasoning for wanting to do the layout – “To tell you the truth, the more you can become one with your body the better. I have hips and breasts and don’t try to use it -- but I can and that's OK.”
Seeing as most of Playboy’s content is also available on their website, I would look for a sharp spike in keyboard sales right around the beginning of April… |

| All In…For Porno |
|
Vicky Coren, most famous in the poker world for winning the 2006 EPT Championship in London, is apparently also quite the author and …ahem, filmmaker.
In 2003 Coren teamed up with Charlie Skelton and, despite the fact that their only prior experience in the porn industry was writing for the Erotic Review, the pair set out to make a porno that would defy the tiresome storylines and monotonous “money shots” porn-goers had grown weary of. The movie was to be titled “The Naughty Twins.” Along with the movie, and probably unbeknownst to anyone involved in the project, Coren and Skelton had landed a book deal (before they had landed a film deal) to tell the tail of “the making of the best porn movie to ever be made.”

Of course, the filmmaking was calamitous at best. Some of the film’s star actors included a Dominatrix/drugs counselor by day, a computer salesman, a dyslexic Dutchman (who had to have his lines written out phonetically and held in front of his face), and an illegal-immigrant sensual-masseuse (nuff said). On top of that, the only prop NOT purchased in a thrift store was the “Dildo of Krun-Ra,” which was later given a name-change to the “Horns of Pythagoras.”
The book, Once More, With Feeling, is apparently a very humorous ride through the making of a celluloid dumpster fire. The links to both the movie and book’s websites have been taken down, and the Pokerazzi can only assume this happened after Vicky made a name for herself in poker. That being said…the book is still available on Amazon. Put that next to your Harrington on Hold’em!
*Pokerazzi Note: The research for the above story comes in large part from Jeanette Winterson’s The Times’ book review of Once More, With Feeling. For more information, and to check out Ms.’s Winterson’s article, visit jeanettewinterson.com |

| Australian Re-Steal Attempt Foiled! |
 |
Y’all know the story by now: While in Melbourne, American poker player Jason Potter, on his way back to his hotel, was knocked on the back of the head and robbed at knife-point. The muggers ran off with roughly $30,000, including the $26,000 Jason had just picked up for his 31st place finish in the Aussie Millions Main Event.
| Tough beat, right? The bad guys win again. Well, there might be a case of “Vindication…One Time!” as two suspects were recently arrested and charged for the robbery of Potter. Dwayne Johnstone, 32, of St Albans, and Vhyharn Arumughasamu, 27, of Wheeler's Hill were held overnight and each charged with one count of armed robbery. Johnstone had no comment, while Arumughasamu ranted and raved to the press about the mandated lack of consonants in “Wheeler’s Hill.” Brutal! |
