Jennifer Tilly Chooses Poker Over Oscars
Yahoo News ^ | March 5,2005

LAS VEGAS - The transmogrification is complete. Actress-turned-poker-star Jennifer Tilly has become so infatuated with high stakes Texas Hold 'Em, that for the first time in more than a decade, she's skipped the red carpet of the Oscars for the green felt of the poker table.

"This is the first time in 15 years I haven't attended the Oscar parties or gotten swept up in Oscar fever," Tilly told The Associated Press on Sunday from her suite at Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip.

"I haven't even seen 'Brokeback Mountain.' I don't even know who's nominated," she said.

Dolly's always looked like that. What makes you think they're fake?

Her wig is fake; not her breasts!

Tilly's best hand was being married to Sam Simon for about 2 years. Somewhere in that time he created the Simpsons, and she still collects big from the divorce settlement.

I wouldn't be too sure, I know she had a few ribs taken out around her waist line.

Sam Simon? I thought Matt Groening created the Simpsons.

It's a terrific movie. Look at the supporting cast. Coltrane (I'm going to tell my grandchildren about you) and Michele Phillips (Some people rub me for luck).

Unfortunately, it never got the attention that it was due.

EXCERPT: Dolly Parton had her trademark breasts downsized in 1986 when
her specially constructed quart-size implants had to be removed and
replaced with smaller ones.

The 5-foot-1 country music star - who'd earlier had a leaking implant
replaced
had dieted down to 102 pounds and her breasts began to sag.

Dolly was reluctant to reduce her breasts, saying "I wouldn't be Dolly
without
them."

But even her smaller D-cup breasts have left Dolly with the
bodice-busing
measurements of 42-19-34!

The rather ample ta-tas are real. But she always wears a wig. Don't ask me why.

I think Jennifer Tilly is hysterically funny, plus, she's hot. Hot and funny and original.

Old interview (w/Carson I think) she was asked if they were "hers"
She replied with something like... I paid for them, (it was a long time ago so my memory is just a little too vague for a quote, besides the brain was preoccupied)

I was basing my belief on something her sister Stella said years ago... that she (Stella) was flat as a board because Dolly got it all.

Well, I'm just bummed. Why on earth would somebody do that to themselves?

In 2002, she admitted for the first time during interviews in Europe that she has, in fact, had implants. In one interview in the Irish Independent, she said she had gotten breast enhancements at a cost of about $3,000 (which would date them to around the mid-to-late-1980s). Then in the London Mirror, she explained that she decided to get implants after her dramatic weight loss around 1986. As any woman who has lost a great deal of weight knows, usually the first area to decrease in size is the chest. She said she got implants for the first time then because she had surgery to remove excess tissue left behind after the weight loss, and that made her breasts much smaller than they had been in the past when she was heavier. And if you look at photos from the late 1980s, they did appear larger at that time than they did when she first became skinny.

>>>"Well, I'm just bummed. Why on earth would somebody do that to themselves?"<<<

In the same interview she said that she always wanted sequins, big hair and everything else because in real life she is actually just plain, so she has built a lot more than just Dollyworld.
