TIME TO BUST OUT THE COOKIE DOUGH • "Michael Phelps has been a frequent guest at the Palms in Las Vegas, and not just for the poker. So to speak. The gold-medalist has been spending plenty of time 'in the company of a fetching brunette' who works at the Palms, reports the Las Vegas Review-Journal."

We don't know what's sadder: The fact that some of these famewhores (Mekhi and Dita not included) were invited to the PokerStars.net Burlesque Party last night in Vegas or the fact that we can name most of these people.

To provide you with a glimpse into the real Hollywood characters are Mollygood's very own readers, telling tales of celebrity encounters big and small. Up this week: Reader Kelli's unfortunate run-in with Reggie Bush.

Congratulations to Robin Tunney for bringing home the grand prize of $50,000 and a spot in the World Series of Poker main event from the invite-only PokerRoom.com Celebrity Poker Showdown, last Thursday in Los Angeles. The event was presented in conjunction with Kari Feinstein's Style Lounge and the Viper Room raising $10,000 for YouthAIDS, a non-profit organization that works to educate and protect young people from HIV/AIDS.

Maybe these celebs don't look like ones who have lots of money to throw around, but a nominal buy in is a small price to pay for a red carpet appearance. I kid the philanthropists. I'm sure they were all there for the charity rather than the schwag or publicity.

Doesn't it seem a little unfair that the person who won also looks to be the only person in the room with a steady job? Sorry Simon Rex, no food this month!

I’d pay to see Lindsay Lohan in a poker tournament. She is pictured here, with a completely maniac looking Lenny Kravitz, at the GQ Celebrity Poker Tournament. Though she is not shown actually playing poker, I have a feeling that Firecrotch might dominate the table.

Paris Hilton frequents these celebrity poker events, and she most likely cheats by looking at other people’s hands with her lazy eye. Lohan seems to be taking the opposite approach by completely covering her face with over-sized sunglasses and a floppy face-covering hat. Her obviously being completely shit-faced might help her, too.

You won’t be able to read the Firecrotch’s face, but she’ll be able to read yours. Her mind works on a level of manipulation that most of us average people don’t understand. Add a few vodka tonics, and she is almost super human with her understanding of the weaknesses of everyone around her. I can see it in her droopy drug-hazed eyes.
