Miss July 2011 Jessa Hinton: Bisexuality, Beckham’s Junk & MMA [33 Photos]

Posted: 24 Jun 2011 09:23 AM PDT

Most guys that see Jessa Hinton immediately think “poker.”  Some guys even think of the card game, too.

California-girl Hinton, 27, is Playboy's Playmate of the Month in the magazine's July issue. She is also often seen showing off her interviewing skills on the Victory Poker Tour and Top Rank Boxing.

Hinton is a highly motivated, self-described entrepreneur who was first seen on “Baywatch”; more recently, she’s done ads for the Palms Casino, Monster energy drink and Mixed Martial Arts. She is currently designing her own bikini line for Affliction clothing.

"I am a jack-of-all-trades and an Energizer bunny," the busty blonde said. “I want to do it all.”

Hinton’s swimsuits are meant for women, though given the demographic the Affliction brand sometimes attracts, bro-kinis might be a big seller. Those dudes should pick up the July issue of Playboy instead.

We asked Jessa about being a part of the Playboy family, the Hollywood poker scandal and whom she wants to see naked.

You were already known to people through Top Rank and Victory before you became Miss July. Have people acted differently toward you since the Playboy appearance was announced?

People know me as far back as MySpace and from “Baywatch,” even — I mean, I was on “Baywatch” when I was 16 years old. I look a little different than I did then — but I have never experienced anything like this. It’s been amazing. You can’t believe how many people have reached out to me since I was named a Playmate.

Describe the feeling you get when you take off your clothes at a photo or video shoot. Is it all-business or does it give you a rush?

I grew up a tomboy; I wore sweatpants or jeans and a t-shirt and I never dressed up. Now I do, so I am more in touch with that feminine side and Playboy helped me become more comfortable with that…. The first day I was nervous and self-conscious, you know: ‘do I look weird in this position?’ and ‘what is that guy looking at?’
By the second day, I just dropped the robe and was like: ‘let’s go!’

I talked to other Playmates and they have had similar experiences. The second day is easier.  We were joking and saying movie quotes. One of the techs said ‘Can you close your legs a bit more?’ (laughs) and I was like: “Can you see a little too much? Ok.’ You get more comfortable.

You are often around other beautiful people at Playboy and in Hollywood. Other than your boyfriend (poker player Dan Blizerian), whom would you want to see naked?

I’ve had both serious girlfriends and boyfriends. I’ve known I was bisexual since the age of 13. And, bisexual is not bi-curious, by the way. Some people think a few shots of Patron make you bisexual. That’s not the case.

If I had to pick one guy, it would be David Beckham. I mean, I have just about seen all of his body in ads already, but I’d like to see what he’s working’ with… As for girls, it’d be Mila Kunis. I’ve seen her naked on screen but that’s different than her getting naked in front of me.

Do you know Crystal Harris, Hugh Hefner’s former fiancee, and how do you feel about her decision to squash her wedding with him?

It’s their business, you know. I know Hef more than I know Crystal. I am also friends with Holly (Madison, one of Hef’s “Girls Next Door”). …When you walk into the (Playboy) Mansion the first time, everyone is so nice. …At first, I thought ‘ Is this a fake L.A. thing?’ but it’s not. It’s a very special atmosphere to be a part of. Playboy is more like a big family than anything.

Do you have any behind-the-scenes poker stories from Victory Poker?

That’s how I met my boyfriend. …When I first met him, I was like ‘ He is the cockiest S.O.B. that ever lived! I thought he was a D-I-C-K…But then after I was around him and we went on a few dates and I saw what he was working with, I figured out why he was that way (laughs). …He was on TV this morning and in Star magazine…

Right: about the Hollywood poker scandal that Tobey Maguire, Ben Affleck and others are reportedly involved in (Note: a convicted Ponzi schemer allegedly settled his big poker debts to Maguire with his victims’ money). Were you involved at all; have you ever been to a high-stakes game?

I have never been to an underground game. I have seen high stakes games with $100,000 buy-ins. When I saw in Star that there were drugs and hookers at some of those games, I straight-up slapped (Dan). He was like: “I am with you and you think I am going to fool around with a hooker?’

See, I think all that is gross. There is some shady shit that goes down at underground games. These celebrities have all this money and they are out there doing stuff like that. It’s terrible.

Have you ever played strip poker with Dan or anyone else?

Sadly, I have never played strip poker. Someone suggested I get a few girlfriends and we do that on Howard Stern, but we haven’t yet. …As a game, poker doesn’t do it for me. I like asking questions about it and talking to the players about strategy, but sitting in a dark, smoky room for hours is just a drag. It doesn’t do it for me.

You are affiliated with both boxing and MMA as a post-fight interviewer. Who is tougher: boxers or fighters?

Hmm. Tougher? I don’t know. They are both tough in different ways… Randy Couture is my favorite. I know Georges St. Pierre is the top guy right now, but Randy is just a super guy, a legend in the sport….As for boxing, Sugar Shane Mosley is really a nice guy who I genuinely admire. Between his age and his talent and how he carries himself, it’s pretty amazing.

As well as being an interviewer and a model, you’re designing bikinis for Affliction. How do business people react to your modeling career; has Playboy led to people perceiving you differently?

One hundred percent, but in a positive way, not negative. It’s opened doors. …Some people call me for advice that you’d never think would…. I have a certain look – I mean, I’m 5’9″ and blonde with big boobs — and that might make people underestimate what I know. But I use that to my advantage when I can.

Tall, blonde, big boobs and with a developing entrepreneurial streak. Sounds perfect, but what wouldn’t guys like about you; what’s your secret flaw?

The tomboy thing turns some guys off. I have probably shot more guns than most guys and trained in more MMA disciplines than most guys. They can get insecure about that…. I guess cooking. I know the way to win a man’s heart is through food, but I can’t cook. I can bake OK, but when it comes to cooking I can’t seem to figure it out.


You want to eventually write an autobiography. What will be its title?

Haven’t figured that out. Not yet. There are so many ways I can still go with my career. When I do write it, though, I am going to out a lot of people. I have been through a lot:  eating disorder and my parents split up when I was young and my mom left for awhile and I didn’t have her around to help me. A lot of tough stuff….

That’s where my drive comes from. Not from the need for attention or acceptance, but from having to do things yourself. It keeps me motivated.

BRO: Jim Riggleman Resigns, Gets Hammered, Hits On Hot Chicks! [Photos]

Posted: 24 Jun 2011 07:37 AM PDT

Former Washington Nationals’ manager Jim Riggleman had a career-defining day yesterday. He started the day by telling his boss to fix his contract situation, managed a game, found out his contract was still a mess, quit his job, went to Caddies in Bethesda, Maryland and got wasted. HOLY HELL! JIM, SERIOUSLY, ADOPT US.  Wait until you see the live tweeting of Riggs hitting on hot chicks. Biggest bro move since Cuban taking a leak with the Larry.

A little known tweeter named John Kiernan went full-on Washington Post scribe to tell the world of Jim’s epic night of pounding drinks and trashing the Nats.

Approximately 9:30 last night:

Riggleman saya Nats “not that good yet”

Riggleman says “f&*k em” about #Nats

Riggleman acting like a creepy old dude at caddies in bethesda #Nats

Then, at about 11:30 things turn to Mike Rizzo, the Nats’ GM.

Jim Riggleman at Caddies in Bethesda bashing Mike Rizzo #Nats

Then John starts uploading the small-ish photos of Riggs showing his game in the chick department. Think this guy tears up a road trip? Destruction. Just look at that form. Dude needs to be working at ESPN where he could really do damage. Get him and Matthew Barnaby on a bus tour.

This morning Jim was up and at ‘em, even telling D.C. radio dorks, “I’ll tell you what, there are some beautiful young ladies in there.” And, “I was solving the world’s problems last night at Caddies.”

Riggleman’s final words before walking out on the Nats: “I’m 58, I’m too old to be disrespected.”

N.Y. Islanders Fan Kills 4 In Phamacy Pain Pill Heist, Fuzz Alleges [Cuff 'Em]

Posted: 24 Jun 2011 07:06 AM PDT

The guy you see with the black eyes and cuts all over his face is David Laffer. The woman is his wife, a pain pill addict who needed a fix, police allege, when her husband went into a Long Island pharmacy this week and came out having killed four people in a violent rage. The sports angle to this story? These lovebirds got engaged at a New York Islanders game!

The details as only the Daily Mail can:

As Brady (the wife), who friends say has an addiction to prescription painkillers, was walked out of Suffolk County police headquarters last night, she told reporters: ‘He was doing it because he lost his job and I was sick. I’m sorry that he did all this.’

It emerged Laffer had lost his health insurance two weeks ago when he was fired from his job as a shipping clerk for allegedly for stealing, and on Friday he signed up for food stamps.

Yesterday’s arrest came after a three-day man hunt for the gunman who stormed Haven Drugs in Medford, before shooting dead four people, including a 17-year-old pharmacy worker.

According to authorities, the husband of one of one of the murder victims has already identified Laffer in a police line-up as the shooter.

A quick visit to David Laffer’s Facebook reveals the guy had issues before he started (allegedly) blasting that pharmacy. His favorite show – Deadliest Warrior.

Here’s his wife’s Facebook, in case you want to know what she looked like on her wedding day.

Probably not the P.R. move the Islanders were looking to make this offseason.

Here Is Why NBA Draft Is Complete Garbage [Morning Twitpic]

Posted: 24 Jun 2011 05:40 AM PDT

That tall black dude is Bismack Biyombo. Michael Jordan fell in love with him the other night and drafted him. Or so we thought ESPN was telling us. Then we see he’s wearing a Sacramento Kings cap in his interview with Mark Jones. Come to find out, the Kings still had rights to the pick, pending an approved NBA trade to the Bobcats. Seriously, NBA. Between names we cannot pronounce and guys wearing the wrong caps, the NBA Draft is a JOKE. It’s a complete cluster@#$% &.

Burnt Toast

The Greatest Tweets in the History of the Internet* (*Over The Last 24 Hours)

The Adoption of Millionaire Kids

@AlexKennedyNBA: Jewelers are making the rounds in the hotel lobby and meeting with prospects. Must be nice.

Priorities. Priorities. Priorities. I’d love to think that this is a joke, but I have zero doubt that this really happens. Jewelers, Financial Advisors, and Whores. The staples of NBA draft night lobbies.

@Marcel_Mutoni: The Sacramento Kings’ front-office had cocaine for breakfast this morning. Well, it’s everyday, but more than usual today.

If you want me to think that two Las Vegas Casino Owners have to hit the yayo just to make Sacramento exciting…well….I’m not buying it. The Kings were rumored to be linked every trade  yesterday, which leads me to believe they found the ESPN Draft Machine link right before they sniffed the 4th line.

@HPBasketball: Just to review. Upside, motor, length, machine, “this guy,” “smart pick,” “value.” Drink to ‘em all.

To hell with those words, If you wanted to get incredibly shitfaced last night, every time there was an awkward moment of silence in the ESPN draft coverage…..take a drink. If America did that, 35% of people might have made it into work this morning. It’s always tough when dealing for 4 hosts, but that was flat brutal last night

@LisaHorne: Irving said “I’m really looking forward to the NBA.” Funny, he didn’t say “to Cleveland.”

@PaulyPabst: Kyrie Irving will play more games in November than he did in college.

@Bomani_Jones: With that hat on, Kyrie Irving looks like he should be at la guardia a sign with a passenger’s name on it.

Welcome to Cleveland Kyrie. All 6 or 11 or however many games you played in college might not prepare you for that jump. While I think he has talent, I don’t see the next Derrick Rose out of him. Not physical enough…..yet.

@AndrewSiciliano: Only in the NBA draft can you hear instant analysis like this: “He cannot score…no offense at all…allegedly 18 years old.”

Sounds like outtakes from an upcoming “To Catch A Predator” episode.

@TiricoSuave: Bismack Biyombo first became interested in the NBA when he was 9 and him & all his friends were given free NY Knicks ’99 NBA Champion shirts

Funny……Yes. Racist……..Perhaps. Believeable……Likely

@FrankBlineBury: Early. Just like playoffs. RT @carmeloanthony: Goodnight. I’m out.

Love athletes on twitter. They just roll out with any tweet no matter how simple. The bigger the star, the less sense tweets make. Evidently Carmelo not the biggest fan of the Knicks draft. Doesn’t matter, he’ll say his Twitter got hacked tomorrow anyways.

@PeterBurnsRadio: #Lakers draft Chukwudiebare Maduabum at 56, who proceeded to get knocked down, but got up again.

Twitter. So easy, a Cajun can do it.

Jan Vesely’s Girlfriend Eva Kodouskova Kisses Her New Meal Ticket [11 Photos]

Posted: 23 Jun 2011 05:50 PM PDT

UPDATE: We have a name. That tall drink of water is Eva Kodouskova.

Never heard of Jan Vesely? Same here. But the guy put on a show with his girlfriend after her was selected by Washington with the #6 pick. Who is the blond that started grabbing Jan’s hair?

Here’s what we know about Eva Kodouskova:

• 6′ 3″

• Studies architecture

• Plays club basketball in the Czech Republic for Trutnov.

• Used to have a Facebook page. It has been deep sixed.

We also know that Czech Republic newspapers and websites are infatuated with your infatuation with their new basketball icon and his girlfriend. Headlines around the world are reflecting that.

As translated by those Czech Republic newspapers:

“I do not understand such a reaction to a kiss. It was a great moment for me, my family. Eva is my girlfriend, it was a spontaneous kiss,” said Vesely overseas journalists moment, which took almost more than the mere fact that it was a Czech basketball player drafted in sixth place, so the best Czech player in history.

Good work, America.

The Dirk Nowitzki Ass Tattoo You’ve Always Wanted [Photo]

Posted: 23 Jun 2011 04:59 PM PDT

I know it’s disappointing, but your plan to be totally original and get a tattoo of Dallas Mavericks’ forward and NBA Finals MVP Dirk Nowitzki tattooed on your ass is going to need some work.

Someone has already beat you to it. His name is Derek Dilday and he did it because… well, he’s a dumbass.

Once they got to the Finals, especially against the Miami Heat, I may have got a little too excited and posted on Facebook that I would get Dirk’s face tatted on my ass if they won it all. I got quite a few comments back from friends, so I knew that if they did win it all I would kind of have to do it. When Dirk lifted the Larry O’Brien and the MVP trophy it was the greatest sports moment of my life. I sports-cried, called a high school friend that does tattoos and have been on a Dallas Mavericks championship high ever since. Now I realize that I will be sitting on a big German man’s face for the rest of my life.

We’re glad you realized that after you got another man’s face tattooed on your ass.

As for the big German himself, even he thought it was a little weird, saying, “Wow. This is aggressive,” via Twitter.

Lindsay Czarniak Is Your New ESPN Anchor [Photos]

Posted: 23 Jun 2011 03:10 PM PDT

Sports anchor George Michael once called Lindsay Czarniak "the best hire I've ever made." That hire is now leaving the D.C. market for ESPN. The 33-year-old has been hired, according to the Washington Post, as anchor and host of programs originating from its Bristol, Conn., studios. In other words, you are looking at the new feminine face of SportsCenter. Folks, this is a major hire. It’s like ESPN finding their new Katie Couric.

From the Czarniak file:

• Chill out. She’s engaged.

• Graduated from James Madison

• Father is Managing Editor at USA Today

• Has NASCAR knowledge; worked races for TNT

• Once said Washington “Craps” on live TV

Czarniak has responded to only one congratulations on Twitter and that came from former George Mason basketball coach Jim Larranaga.

thanks Coach L. Will miss DC but very excited abt the new adventure + excited to follow yours. Hope all is going well in Miami!
