You’re Not So Bad Yourself…


Clearly, this whole Joanna Krupa working with PokerStars is a good thing for us...

Ok, while PokerStars didn’t let us break that Joanna Krupa was going to be the host of their newly launched NAPT, they did do a pretty cool thing by sending us the following pics.

As far as “make goods” go, this was solid. Well played.

Joanna Krupa to Host PokerStars NAPT


You wouldn't even let us leak this, PokerStars? Come on...


In a story we will probably never forgive PokerStars for not letting us break (seriously guys?), Joanna Krupa has been announced as host of their North American Poker Tour.

The latest tour in PokerStars’ quest for world domination will obviously take place in North America, or as we like to call it, “America.”

The PCA (going on now, follow here) is apparently now part of the NAPT, as will the Main Event of the Venetian Deep Stack Extravaganza next month.

Krupa, who was Wicked Chops’ first official Girl of the Year back in 2006 (later to be joined by Keeley Hazell and Vikki Blows), recently was a celeb guest on PokerStars’ Million Dollar Challenge and endorsed us (sort of) for Best Poker Blog.

Thanks to F-Train for the tip here. Read more about the NAPT on Otis’ PokerStars blog here.

Joanna Krupa on PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge


Joanna Krupa 47, Shannon Elizabeth 0.

Joanna Krupa 47, Shannon Elizabeth 0.

The original Wicked Chops Poker Girl of the Year, Joanna Krupa, killed it on PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge.

Krupa went 2-0 in her matches (although only one was shown). She looked good. She probably smelled like a Pineapple Cilantro candle from Tommy Bahama. Somewhere, Shannon Elizabeth is thinking, “Enough already with this shit I’m gonna the bitch.”

Read more about her appearance here. Some vid interviews here. And without clothes on here.

For the MMA fans, go here for Tito Ortiz on last week’s show.

Joanna Krupa PETA Campaign


Penis = confused

Penis = confused

Lost somewhere in the news that Joanna Krupa is going to make an appearance on PokerStars’ Million Dollar Challenge was the slightly less controversial news that Joanna Krupa dressed like a naked angel holding a cross in her latest PETA ad campaign.

Krupa, who is hot and Catholic, supports PETA, which is dumb and stupid. So this campaign, to quote Troy from Community, is “wrinkling our brain.”

Naked Krupa = really good. Holding cross = bad. Puppies = good. Naked Krupa holding cross surrounded by puppies = bad. PETA = really bad.

Joanna Krupa to Appear on PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge


Hopefully Joanna Krupa will wear this during her appearance on PokerStars' Million Dollar Challenge.

Hopefully Joanna Krupa will wear this during her appearance on PokerStars' Million Dollar Challenge.

We blame you, Middle U.S. America.

We blame you for not voting enough for Joanna Krupa on Dancing with the Stars, even though she was clearly one of the two best celebs on the show. We further blame you for letting that dork Donnie Osmond ham it up and win.

See, like two years ago with Shannon Elizabeth, Joanna Krupa (and specifically, ‘Joanna Krupa naked’ and ‘Joanna Krupa Derek Hough’ searches) fueled a fantastic traffic spike to Wicked Chops Poker.

Then she was gone. Booted before her time.

However, we thank you, PokerStars, for bringing her on as a celeb contestant on your Million Dollar Challenge show.

We’ve learned that PokerStars will be announcing Krupa’s appearance sometime this week. This is a good thing for multiple reasons. The first Million Dollar Challenge episode logged 4M viewers, the most people to ever tune into a poker broadcast. While that’s not quite the 20M DWTS churns out, it’s not bad for at least a little spike in Joanna Krupa poker searches that we’ll inevitably get.

Also, of course, gives us another excuse to post pics of her and do another post on the Million Dollar Challenge. So there’s that too. Let’s just say that if Stars announced Mekhi Phifer was going to be a celeb guest, we’re not doing a post on it. See, that’s why Stars is killing it now. Smart people over there in Gibraltar making smart decisions. Hopefully this will lead them into sponsoring her for the 2010 WSOP Main Event. Hint hint. Nudge nudge.
