Joanna Krupa Nude in Playboy

The Beat has always had nothing but good feeling for Joanna Krupa since we first spotted her playing in the World Series of Poker several years ago. Since then Krupa has gone on to impress us with her mad dancing skills as she is currently one of the four remaining contestants on Dancing with the Stars.

Now, Krupa has taken that final step in a bid to leap into A-list celbretiydom (it’s a word) by posing nude. It’s refreshing to see someone who is not trying to get attention by “leaking” a sex tape, but is just taking the good old-fashioned route of getting naked for Playboy.

Krupa’s bid for fame improves with every episode of Dancing with the Stars that she survives. And that possibility is starting to look very real as she has been topping the scores over the last two weeks of competition.

The Bodog Sportsbook has odds on Krupa winning Dancing with the Stars and from this writer’s perspective it’s a steal at 7/2.
