Jennifer Tilly dishes on bf Phil Laak's record-breaking poker session on the latest episode of te Wicked Chops Podcast
We made our way down to the Wine Cellar in the Rio yesterday to join Jennifer Tilly for some drinks and a podcast.
This one is split into two parts. In the first part, Tilly discusses her poker career and her boyfriend Phil Laak‘s Guinness Book worthy playing session.
Part II covers her acting career, how her undercover campaign helped earn her an Oscar nod, and how she hopes the same campaigning earns her a trip to the WSOP TOC.

We have a lot of respect for old people. They fought wars for us and made it cool to hate the French. And they taught us that if you accumulate enough wealth when you're young, you can still bang hot chicks a third your age when you're old and crapping in your pants.
Anyway, none of that has anything really to do with Doyle Brunson responding to Layne Flack's allegation that he "bought" some of his 10 bracelets in
"You want to talk about buying a bracelet? Let’s talk about Doyle’s bracelet when there were eight people in the tournament…The critics should look back in history and see where a bracelet has been bought."
Giving Flack a verbal middle finger, Brunson fired back on his blog:
"I never won a tournament that had 8 people in it. There were only 14 entries in a mixed double tournament that Starla Brodie and I won. If I could find that bracelet, I would sent it to Layne and tell him to stick it where the sun doesn’t shine."
Doyle then gets all wisdom-y saying:
"The 'bracelet race' has become Harrahs and ESPN’s way of making poker interesting and exciting. It is a form of competition and I love anything that is competitive, but winning bracelets has never been high on my priority list. I still play poker because it energizes me and keeps me thinking young. I like playing real poker for real money and tournament poker for me is a second choice."
Perhaps he's got a point. Unlike Phil Hellmuth, it isn't Doyle who goes around touting his bracelet count. It's ESPN, the WSOP and the so-called media who like to talk about it. For Doyle, he's just playing poker to win, whether it's against one table or a field of thousands.
Speaking of old people, it looks like Jennifer Tilly is our runaway winner of our "Who Would You Rather?"

We got roped into an interesting debate with some poker players at the Bellagio Five Diamond this week.
The question was posed: who would you rather…poker player Jennifer Tilly or new Las Vegas resident Marie Osmond.
It was a heated debate, it was. Before going further, let's say this, both have aged better than just about any 50 year old woman we've ever seen (qualifier: Osmond is a few months shy of 50).
Here were the points being made: Tilly wins on the sexy scale. Osmond has that Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island quality. Both have great bodies (Tilly's rack should've won an Academy Award), but Osmond really rounded into shape well after her stint on Dancing with the Stars. While Tilly probably is solid in the sack, Osmond has that post-divorce-ready-to-go-crazy thing working for her. Tilly got a knock for the Laak relationship, but Osmond has popped out like 7 or 8 kids (hotdog in a hallway factor).
Bottomline is nobody could make up their minds, so it has to be resolved in our comments section below.
