Vince Vaughn

According to actor Vince Vaughn, Cinco de Mayo was the perfect excuse to play a little poker — for a good cause, of course. E! Online reports that Vaughn celebrated Cinco de Mayo at the Velvet Margarita poker party in Hollywood Monday night. The buy-in was $120, with all proceeds going to the charity Friends of El Faro, which donates money to an orphanage in Mexico.

Reports E! Online, Vaughn and his friends sat at a private booth and enjoyed the bar’s signature margaritas. By the end of the night he had turned his attention to the blonde in the cute pony tail and cowboy hat. According to an eyewitness, “Vince seemed interested in her. He wanted her to stick around.” The two left the party together.

Drew Carey Defends his Right to Play Poker

Drew Carey has become poker’s newest crusader. He is speaking out because the U.S. recently raided a Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in Dallas because of a poker game. The Post was forced to shut down shortly after from lack of funding.

On his video blog on reason.tv, the new Price is Right host said, “Poker is about as American as baseball and apple pie. It was born here in America. Mark Twain loved it. He’s a great American.

“Until recently, Supreme Court justices had a monthly game,” continued Carey. “They’re great Americans. You’d think playing poker in the VFW hall would be about as American as anything you can do.”

Carey also stated that the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act is “misguided”. He will not be the last celebrity to bring this issue to the forefront before next year’s election, as Hollywood rallies behind a new Democratic government in America.
