CelebPoker crashes the Hollywood Scene
The 2005 World Music Awards was held this week in Los Angeles. Entertainers from around the world made their way down the red carpet, onto the stage and then to the tables for some Texas Hold’em.
CelebPoker was in the house for the ‘05 World Music Awards backstage. As the celebrities walked in, Celebpoker lavished them with free gifts and merchandise from the world’s first online celebrity poker room – CelebPoker.com.The show was hosted by Carmen Electra and Desperate Housewives star James Denton. Both performers took a moment to come by and share poker stories before heading upstairs to host the show. Although Mr. Carmen Electra, rocker Dave Navarro couldn’t attend, still made away with a CelebPoker VIP pass and will be getting in on a few hands in the weeks to come. The response gained from the attendees of the show towards CelebPoker was fantastic. Judging by the time spent talking poker and trying out the system it would be a safe assumption to make that there will be a large new crop of top celebrities seen this fall on CelebPoker.comArtists and entertainers such as Bon Jovi, Nick Lachey, Paula Abdul and others stopped by to talk hold’em and sign a few poker tables to be auctioned off to children’s charities. Supermodels Victoria Silvstedt, Carrie Stevens and Tracy Bingham were also seen around (and on top of) CelebPoker’s tables during the event. Creating a “buzz” in the poker industry is a hard thing to do. With all the options available to the players there is stiff competition.
