    1. Well its alot better than hearing about the foolishness and stupidity that is coming from Bangor City Hall from the last few days.  This beautiful woman coming here to contribute to our economy and spend the day meeting with the folks at the Casino is a win win. Hopefully this is the beginning of bringing in more big name celebrities to Bangor, besides those who peform at the Waterfront Concerts.  It will send a more positive message about our state and about Bangor.

    1. I’m pretty sure they would. It’s Bangor Me for crying out loud. They still advertise if Jonathan Edwards shows up.

  1. To be ‘high caliber’ at a Casino you need to be willing to take take off your clothes and appear on raunchy radio programs?  Classy.

    1. You’re just mad because no one would pay you to take off your clothes or to even show up somewhere….
      Let the girl make some money.

    2. Big deal, right? We have “real’ beautiful women right here in our back yard. They are nurses, doctors, lawyers, judges, teachers, mothers, home makers, you name it. I don’t think she is much of a big deal. I think it speaks to some small minds who think she is.

      1. I completely agree she’s not the kinda girl you bring home to mom guys can think of better places to take her.My divorced buddy says their arn’t any good single woman left out their, just woman lookin for child support and a monthly check, maybe a free house lol.You sure those lawyers and judges are single and easy on the eye.

  2. Folks it’s all about marketing and getting people in the slots to gape and gawk.   I don’t think she is allowed to take her clothes off they don’t have that kind of licensing.  These days with the internet it’s no big deal.  

    1. Considering most of the folks who go to Hollywood Casino are 70 year-old retirees (many of them women), this should be a big draw. Or not?

    1.  That’s how she run’s, and has for years. From my own personal experiences with her and that office in litigation Povich covered her. Possibly the BDN can answer why this is not news?

          1. Camo underwear is for those that really need to hide something….You know the old saying “somethings are better left to the imagination”.

  3.  I wonder how much money she will send and the tables or slots. I would think the caliber of the of the everyday players is whats keep Hollywood Slots going day in and day out. Not a Bunny. 

  4. Now who says Sex Doesn’t Sell?

    Watch the money be played now!

    Where’s Bill when you need him?

    PlayBill!!!

  5. It is all fine as long as she doesn’t get my number. The last playmate I ran into is still calling me at all hours of the night. Man, talk about persistence     

  6. Didnt that show like go off air a while ago? The Hills… yeah it ended in 2010 so not that recent since they film how many months before airing? 

  7. you can take a story about a playboy playmate at the Casino and compare it to Obama and Hillary?

    that’s not insight.  that’s a disorder.

    1. Yeah I will compare it to the Nobama’s and Hillary.  The Disorder is having Liberals always finding something to complain over.  Because its not a famous Liberal coming here to the Casino its no good.  This lady is coming here on her own time to Bangor to contribute to our economy and that is bad.  No it just shows how much narrow minded Liberals are.  I bet you will have more showing up at the Casino to see her than any Nobama rally here in Maine could ever draw.  The fact is the City of Bangor is winning because they get this young lady to show up here and help give an economic boost to our economy.

    1. Is that all you have.  Oh that’s right Liberals have nothing but personal attacks and cheap shots. They don’t like it when their hero (Obama) is being attacked well get the picture he has done nothing. He is not popular he has only a 40% approval rating.  Liberals don’t like it that more people will show up on that night to see this young lady than any Liberal Democrat Rally would ever draw here in Maine.  The City of Bangor should embrace more well known people coming to Hollywood Casino besides those who come to the Waterfront Concert Series. But of course narrow minded folks such as yourself would rather see the economy go bad because they think it will get Democrats in power sorry but not happening.

      1. “Narrow minded, personal attacks, cheap shots”…good thing you aren’t stooping to their level.

  8. “…someone of Ms. James’ caliber …” ?? Really??   Mr. Osborne, you vastly underestimate the intelligence of the locals!

  9. What is it that she’s actually going to do?  Say “hi” while she’s jumping up and down?  You’ll notice that I did use a single syllable for her because she ain’t being invited to bring her brain. 

  10.  The evening also will feature an opportunity to win a share of $2,500 worth of free slot play.

    Thought that was illegal. LOL

  11. Let’s see Playboy Bunny. College student. Poses nude in magazines. Pretty good bet Ms. James is not a conservative. So what we have here is Darkcat , defender of all that is conservative, praising a LIBERAL. So DC are you only against LIBERALS who do not have a 34 C bust measurement and have not appeared in Playboy naked?

    1. Excuse me but you don’t speak for me nobody does and nobody will.  I speak for myself.  First off I am not a conservative never been a Democrat or Republican.  I am an ANGRY  INDEPENDENT  who is fed up with the status quo from Democrats like most folks are here in Maine.  You don’t like it because it is not some stupid well known Liberal Politician (Obama’s, Hillary) or Wealthy supporter coming in for charity.  That its someone else who has been on TV, been in Playboy, Howard Stern show.  That must hurt your feelings that this young beautiful lady is coming in for a night of charity and meeting local citizens.  That this young lady will come in to Bangor stop at the Casino , other businesses and spend money helping our economy.  What is wrong with that.  Why is it that Liberals not all but most are against anything that is good for our economy.  These are some of the same folks who also said Hollywood Slots now Hollywood Casino wouldn’t last a year.  Its close to 7 years now.  If you don’t like it don’t show up to meet this lady, but I think you will be surprised I think this will be successful.  I think if its successful you will see them reach out to more “well known” celebrities to come to Bangor to the Casino.  I think they are using it as a test to see how many shows up to the Casino that night.

      1. Gosh Darkcat from your former post you have seemed to be very good at telling others what they should think as well as what they are currently thinking. You have done so in this post. As far as this person coming to Bangor I’m all for it. If she wants to come to Bangor great. I wish more people would come it would stimulate the local economy. As far as if I show up or not , rest assured I am more then capable of making my own discussions on where I want to go and where I don’t and I certainly do not need you making the choice for me. You really didn’t need to tell us about your anger issues, they have been very apparent to anyone who has read your postings. 

      2. I didn’t read anything in about her appearance being for charity.  Why do you keep saying that?

  12. I’ve got to get in on this one.  I have been holding off in order to read the comments:  This blond-from-a-bottle (men, tell me if this is a “real” blond or not, please) had her contract with Playboy ended by limitations, so I guess she is free-lancing right now in order to work.  Funny sometimes why blond’s seem to get the attention, especially in the entertainment field they all look alike?  Without pre-empting Ms. James’ “display” at the Slots in Bangor, she will not be taking her clothes off at all, but rather I would bet (pun intended) she will appear in a very colorful nano-bikini for the guys (and some girls) to look at – but NO TOUCHING ALLOWED!     I can’t wait to SEE the BDN report along with a PIC!
