Jessica Biel is known for a number of things; first and foremost she has the sort of body that could get anybody with a drop of Greek blood in them all charged up to sack Troy again. Helen may have had the face that launched a thousand ships, but Jessica is the sort of total package that could get a pacifist to consider nuclear war.
She also has made a number of forgettable, but still entertaining films and in regards to her current relationship with her boyfriend, Justin Timberlake, it is quite obvious she is the “man” in this pairing (we are not calling her manly, but rather I am expressing my personal opinion that Justin is the type of guy who probably has a subscription to Ladies’ Home Journal). The world poker player rarely, if ever, makes it into any description of this young lady.
Okay, Poker Player is a bit of a generous description regarding her prowess with the cards. On one shining night of short lived poker brilliance though, she did manage to make some gains against some established poker professionals.
During the opening of the Ivy Hotel in San Diego, CA, Jessica was somewhere in the vicinity of the poker table when she was asked to sit down and play a few hands. She declined. According to a member of the hotel staff, she did so because she didn’t want to match her skills against the poker pros that were at the table. Eventually she was talked into it by the pros. They were playing for her charity, Make a Difference, after all. A little participation on her part was to be expected.
Jessica opened strong, and actually held her own, and better against the professionals. The early momentum eventually disappeared though, and her stack of chips was quickly eliminated. Whether or not she was encouraged by her early progress, and has continued playing is unknown. She would be a fun addition to any poker show though.
About Jessica Biel: Jessica began modeling and performing in musical theater at an early age. In 1996, she got her breakthrough role as a preacher's daughter on the WB's 7th Heaven. When she was 14, she won the role of Mary Camden on Aaron Spelling’s wholesome WB show 7th Heaven, about a reverend and his large family.
At the height of 5'7" Jessica Biel towers over the majority of young Hollywood, and the self-described gym bunny's toned body gives her an older, sexier appearance than girls who are just naturally thin. There's little wonder why Esquire named her the Sexiest Woman Alive in 2005.
These days, Jessica is causing a paparazzi-crazed stir with boyfriend Justin Timberlake, she’s finished the movie "Powder Blue" with Patrick Swayze, Ray Liotta, Forest Whitaker and Riki Lindhome, where she plays a stripper and has a few topless nude scenes from that role.
She’s reportedly in talks for the Wonder Woman role in the upcoming Justice League film.
