Penthouse Scores With Its Spring Sports Issue
MLS and Major League Previews & Predictions, NBA vs. NHL, Poker Studs and a Conversation with Bronson Arroyo and more…

(Boca Raton, FL – April 13, 2006) Ah…it’s spring and the smell of grosgrain leather and bleacher beer is in the air. To commemorate the euphoria of all that is stats and scores, Penthouse is kicking off the May issue Pele style, by featuring an interview with the one and only “Sports Guy” - Bill Simmons.

Yes, Bill Simmons is an obsessed Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots fan and yet millions of readers each month look beyond his Bean Town roots and herald his comedic sports prose nonetheless. He is ESPN’s premiere sports columnist and the author of Now I Can Die in Peace and in the May issue of Penthouse, he holds nothing back when discussing his personal holy trinity: sports, women and pop culture. He believes that Angelina Jolie should be our next president, or at the very least, the Commissioner of Baseball, “She’s like a smoldering volcano and could convince the big market teams to have revenue sharing and salary caps and in general, she can convince any man to do anything.” He confirms that friend Jimmy Kimmel really does grill pizzas and calzones for his pals on NFL Sundays and heralds him as a “Martha Stewart with a penis and a sense of humor.” And basically, he has something to say about anything and anybody and nothing is offlimits: gambling, steroid use, strippers, his ninth-grade English teacher – oh yeah, and sports, including his belief that the Yankees are an Evil Empire, not an honorable opponent to…you guessed it - the Red Sox.

CHECK MATE: Alexandra Kosteniuk is the current women’s Chess vice-champion of the world and in the May issue of Penthouse, interviewer Dave Hollander finds out that this “Anna Kournikova of chess” brings more to the table than just her ethereal beauty. A ruthless and competitive opponent, Alexandra has all the right moves and unlike Anna, she plays to win and not just look good while she’s doing it.

HOT MAMA DRAMA: This Mother’s Day, Penthouse honors five celebrity Moms who can fire up any fantasy with an ode to each. Dear Heidi Klum – “Thank you for your love. It means more than it seems. But, most of all we thank you, for our Victoria’s Secret dreams! Exit stage left and find out who the other fiery and fabulous four guardians are in this months issue.

Speaking of drama…find out the TOP 10 WAYS TO BREAK UP WITH HER in this month’s Dr. Zdrok’s VICES & VANITIES column. Like # 2 – spend all day downloading porn off the internet and leave Sexaholics Anonymous literature where she’s sure to find it, or #5 – let her catch you trying on her panties and lastly, if all else fails, try #10 and tell her you’re gay.
