World Poker Tour Host Shana Hiatt

About eight years ago, I made a movie. One of my actors was named Tommy Gunn. He was tall and skinny and druggy.

I meet a short and muscular guy Tuesday night at Digital Playground June 8, 2004. He says his name is Tommy Gun. It's a different guy.

This Tommy was married for three-and-a-half years to Shana Hiatt. (More pictures) (Pictures) (More info)

Shanna was on the cover of Playboy and in its spread for girls of Hawaiin Tropic (September 1995) and was a hostess on Wild on E!. Now she hosts the World Poker Tour.

Shanna is in the latest issue of FHM. Brooke Birch is on the cover. Shanna bashes Tommy in FHM. She says she used to date this guy who was obsessive-compulsive about porn. "I'm not but it's ironic that I'm in the business today. I think everybody likes porn.

"She says I was into this excretion-type s---. I recall this one type he and his friend were showing me these pictures and I was like, I have to get out of here. Needless to say, we lived together for three-and-a-half years. She danced. She was a make-up counter girl. She did the Hawaiin Tropic contest.

"I was a Chippendales-type dancer for ten years. I made clothes. I designed swimwear. I'm 37. I made all the outfits for her contests.

"Through all her Hawaiin Tropic and Playboy experiences, she got a lot of red carpet treatment. She saw the life she could have vs the life that she had with me. I was struggling.

"She called me one Valentine's Day to say, 'I think we should get divorced.' She was in New Orleans with her boyfriend, Dick Van Patten's son Jimmy.

"I heard they are no longer together. I heard through the grapevine he had been a drug addict and wasn't treating her well.

"She is not the princess she comes off to be.

"I'm not throwing stones. It's just a question of... We divorced five years ago.

"Three years ago, I visited California with Kache Ray (a brief porn star). I met Brad Armstrong."

Duke: "You were in Playgirl twice. Does it bother you that men read that magazine?"

Tommy: "What are you going to do?"

Tommy's made about 50 movies in his six months in porn. "I like the freedom and the lifestyle."

Duke: "You haven't stayed in touch?"

Tommy: "I've tried. On three or four or five occasions to simply call on Christmas, birthday, congratulating her on being in Stuff magazine. The last time we spoke, 'I don't think it's a good idea that you call any more. This is me and my husband's number now.' Hey, cool. That's fine with me.

"Considering for three-and-a-half years, I was in your house. I loved you. We walked down the aisle."
