We had to figure it was only a matter of time. Someone is using quasi-fame in an attempt to capitalize on the overwhelming popularity of online poker. MySpace “diva” Tila Tequila has launched TilaPoker.com, which is hellbent on taking advantage of the nearly two million shlubs who have asked to be Tila’s “friend” on MySpace.

This really shouldn’t come as a surprise anyone, as she’s already used her MySpace dominance to release singles, grace the covers of magazines, and try various other grasps at mainstream fame. While this may seem to some like somewhat of a site destined for failure, it does have one thing going for it: Playtech. Playtech, which is often referred to as iPoker, will be the host network which already is home to high profile poker rooms Tony G Poker, and Titan Poker. This should do wonders in providing Tequila’s poker site (and sister site TilaCasino.com) with some element of legitimacy, but if you’re anything like us, you can still find one major flaw in this whole idea.

Yes, Tequila has more friends than anyone else on the MySpace network, but judging by who these friends might be, We’re not sure this will translate into a major following in the online poker world. You see, it’s hard for us to believe that the majority of the near two million friends she has on MySpace are not underage teenage boys, ravaged by the hypnosis that comes with the spike in hormones that seeing a scantily clad female provides. Call me a skeptic, but we just don’t see this endeavor taking the poker world by storm. Perhaps in five years, when all the Tila lovers are of legal age and send tilapoker.com’s traffic through the roof we’ll be proven wrong. Until then.
