JENNIFER TILLY - TILLY'S LOVE REGRET

Actress JENNIFER TILLY has already hit a snag in her new romance - she's upset at having told her boyfriend she loves him.

Tilly met her new beau - whom she will only reveal is a professional poker player - at a poker tournament, and now she's agonizing over having already expressed her strong feelings for him.

She says, "You know when you have sex with somebody and you wanna say 'I love you' just because it seems like a good thing to say?

"There's things you wanna say, like, 'Pull my hair,' or 'Take that off,' or, 'I love you.' We'll be going at it and then I will have that urge to say, 'I love you.'

"But luckily my mind works really slow, so I'll be like, 'I love...the way you touch me.' Or then I'll go, 'I love...having lots of pillows on the bed, don't you?'"

But Tilly claims the words slipped out when her boyfriend decided to fly out to New York a day early to see her.

She adds, "I was so excited. I was like, 'That's fantastic, I'll lay out the underwear. I love you!' And then I hung up. I was like, 'Oh my God! I said I love you!'

"I had to call him and take it back. I called him right back. I said, 'Did I say I love you? I meant I love that you're coming out to New York a day early.'

"But to take back 'I love you' is kinda like taking back your virginity."
