Welcome to Poker's Newest Recruit - Cameron Diaz

Filed in archive Poker on October 9, 2005

I think poker's becoming the new cult. The latest recruit to this seasons current sport du jour is Charlie's Angel, Cameron Diaz. And she was introduced by fellow celeb, comedienne Ellen Degeneres.

She says: "I'm addicted to it. I do like the casino a bit. I find myself at a casino every once in a while just walking through going: 'What am I doing here?' That's so desperate - I'm in Tunica, Mississippi (at casinos).

"I remember the fateful night (DeGeneres introduced me to the game) as well. I remember the phone call: 'Come over and play Texas Hold 'Em.' I said: 'I don't know how to play Texas Hold 'Em.' She was like: 'None of us do, come on over.'

"We sat around a big table. What time did we get done, like four o'clock in the morning? I took everybody's money that night!"

Those celebs have so much fun...
