Inqlings: Celebrity chef's gut reaction

Pine Hill's

Matt Sigel

is not the first

Hell's Kitchen

contestant to make chef

Gordon Ramsay

scream.

He is the first to make Ramsay lose his lunch.

On Tuesday's season premiere of the Fox reality show, Ramsay sampled Sigel's creation of venison and scallop tartare topped with caviar and white chocolate, and heaved it into a trash can. "Can't win 'em all," Sigel, a sous chef at the Radisson Plaza Warwick Hotel, said yesterday, adding that he'd serve it again. "I've made that for plenty of people." Sigel was

Matt Bloch

when growing up in New York. He took the last name of his wife,

Ellen

, a year ago.

Also reality-TV-related:

Mary Lamb

of Northeast Philly's High Tech Hair Studio & Salon will be featured on the Style Network's series

Split Ends

at 6 p.m. Saturday. Lamb swaps places with

Susan Summers

, who has a one-chair operation (doubling as an antique store) in Kalama, Wash.

"Take a little bit of time," goes the

, pulled over in his Mercedes by a Lower Merion cop for running a light outside of the station between newscasts on March 12. He pleaded guilty last week and paid the $108 fine. No points and no comment.

Fox29/WPEN (950) sportster

Don Tollefson

apologizes on his voice mail for not picking up, because he's mending from a car accident. I hear Tolly's car was rear-ended last week, and shoulder injuries will sideline him for at least a month.

became the filling in a dance-floor "sandwich" late Saturday night at the new nightspot Pearl (1904 Chestnut St.). Two coworkers,

Kerri-Lee Halkett

and a female news-desk editor, were the "bread." Halkett and Bolaris had dined earlier that night at Fleming's in Radnor with WIP's

Wilmington-bred poker champ

Jennifer "Jennicide" Leigh

says she was impressed with her six-page Playboy pictorial in the May issue, on sale and online tomorrow.

"I was not expecting what I saw," says Leigh, 24, who calls herself an Internet geek who plays such games as Everquest and World of Warcraft. "I was expecting a girl who doesn't work out."

The Mount Pleasant High grad says she decided to pose for the same reason she quit the University of Delaware to become a poker pro and to move to Las Vegas. "I never know what I'm going to do next," she says. She made Playboy's radar after she visited the mansion for a charity event.

She likes all but split-pot games. As for strip poker, "what would be the excitement of me stripping down? You've already seen it."
