And the Winner Is...

Not that she needs the cash (she has half of ex-husband and The Simpsons writer/producer Sam Simon’s money, after all) but Jennifer Tilly beat out 600 professional players in a two-day competition and won the Ladies no-limit Texas Hold ’Em event at the World Series of Poker — the first time a celebrity ever won an event at the tournament.

Which is certainly remarkable. And if the winner had been, say, Angelina Jolie or Scarlett Johansson, it might even be the sort of story that CNN runs ad nauseam until something better comes along. But it was Jennifer Tilly, one of the most overlooked actresses in Hollywood, so you’re lucky you’re getting wind of this story at all.
