Here is a poker rumor:  Harrahs may delay the final table of the 2008 WSOP until November, and then broadcast it live on ESPN. 

This is Harrahs’ response to the rumor:

“We have heard those rumors as well but we don’t stoke rumors. If there was news to announce we would certainly share it publicly. We announced the schedule back in December and nothing has changed to it – 55 bracelet events over 47 days from May 30 to July 16.”

Is this a denial?  Definitely maybe.

Last night my wife and I went to the opening of 21, the movie based on Ben Mezrich’s book “Bringing Down the House”.   We were looking forward to the movie.   My wife had written a very positive review of “Bringing Down the House”, a book that she and I both enjoyed a lot.   She had done a great interview of Ben Mezrich, which showed how funny a guy he is.   And the trailer of 21 made it look like it would be a fun movie.

We were disappointed!  21 isn’t terrible.  It’s definitely watchable.  But it is nowhere near as good as the book, and in important ways it strays from the book.  Below are five reasons why I didn’t like the movie.

The poker post I wrote about Nick Schulman made it on Glamorati. Glamorati is a site where YOU find interesting stories about famous people (i.e. the glamorati) and then create funny/clever headlines that would go with them. Think Fark for celebrities. It’s a little different than Fark, because it focuses only famous people and like the website WeSmirch it has links to stories that are related to the story that gets submitted. The site is still in Beta, but should be launched sometime this upcoming week. How did a PokerMoments story get approved if Glamorati is in Beta? Full Disclosure: I co-own Glamorati and I made the submission.

I know that there are a lot of funny people out there who would make great contributions to Glamorati. So if you know of an interesting story about some poker player or some famous person in any walk of life, please submit it. If the site takes off, then it would be a great way to get traffic to your site.
