Dear Poll: Who Would you Want to Play Strip Poker with?

DearSugar — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 09:00:00 -0700

I am not one for gambling, but when it comes to strip poker, I'm all in! The game is only worth playing when you're with fun, light hearted people in a cozy environment, and it doesn't hurt to have incredibly good looking opponents! So ladies, if you could hand pick the people to sit at your poker table, who would you want to see strip in front of you assuming you had the winning hand?

Download Of The Day: Scenario Poker

GeekSugar — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 16:08:56 -0800

My boyfriend has been obsessed with Poker for the past few years, but I didn't jump on the bandwagon until recently after seeing Casino Royale, and falling in love with the wonder that is Daniel Craig. So, what better download to quell my poker needs than Scenario Poker, a Mac widget that offers around the clock Texas Hold ’em limit poker.

It takes ten minutes to learn and a lifetime to master, which I am clearly willing to wager. You play a three-tier, freeze-out tournament against up to 27 simulated opponents. When you run out of chips, you’re out. But if you win everyone’s chips, you keep advancing to the next table until you’re the champion!

FlashForward Breakdown, "Playing Cards With Coyote"

BuzzSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:30:30 -0800

After Al's tragic suicide on last week's episode of FlashForward, this week shows how the idea of "changing the game" has affected all the characters. Mark and Olivia start to find new hope for their relationship, Lloyd teaches Simon a lesson, and Aaron learns more about where his daughter has been for the past two years.

Ready to get into all the details? Just read more.

"The future can be changed": Al's death makes headline news when Celia gets her letter in the mail, instilling hope in Mark and Demetri - for a bit. Mark whisks Olivia off on a romantic getaway and things seem to be much happier between the two. But once they're back to regular life, they both get a reality check: Mark gifts her the lingerie she's wearing in her flash forward, and Aaron's reunion with Tracy makes Mark go back to believing that the visions may be set in stone.

The stars are aligned: Mark thinks he has a big lead when some footage shows up of a man he recognizes from his vision - a woman named Ingrid reports a crime and her phone images reveal a man with a tattoo of three stars on his arm. Thinking it's the same pern who breaks into his office in the future, Mark immediately dedicates himself to finding the guy. Using Ingrid as bait, Mark manages to take kill him, and rushes home to Olivia to tell her that they're going to have a second chance because he changed the game. But then - surprise! There's a whole crew of dudes with that tattoo. Um, seriously Mark? This never occurred to you? It's not like the guy has an unmistakable tattoo of Edward Cullen on his arm.

That was a crazy game of poker: Feeling guilty about that whole deadly experiment thing, Lloyd sends out an email to a few colleagues saying "We have to take responsibility." Of course, Simon isn't pleased about Lloyd's plans to go public and wants to settle their argument over a game of Texas hold 'em. There's plenty of trash talking from Simon, who thinks that he and Lloyd are gods for the impact they've had on the planet. He tosses around ideas of fate (was anyone else thinking about Lost's Charlie and his fate finger tape?) and just when Simon thinks he's sitting pretty, Lloyd turns the tables with a sleight of hand. (Some U2 lyrics come to mind here). Somehow I still don't think Simon is going to make it easy for Lloyd to publicize what they've done.

Reunited and it feels so good? Tracy is back at home with Aaron, but she's not exactly the same girl that went off to war. She's lost her leg in combat and suffering from PTSD, which she's reluctant to discuss with her dad at first. Feeling confident from his flash forward, Aaron encourages Tracy to open up about what happened overseas. She finally reveals that her near-death experience was an ambush from Jericho, a group of military contractors that she ratted out after seeing something she shouldn't. Tracy is paranoid after living a life on the run for two years (and is not at all pleased when Aaron talks to Mark about her situation). Though keeping track of all the different characters and their separate story lines is getting confusing, I'm liking this new development in Aaron's story.

Other plot points:

Janice tries to quit but Stan won't let her. As she continues to contemplate Al's death and her vision, she starts looking into sperm donation - does this mean those are tears of joy in her flash forward?

Ingrid says that she remembers one of the shooters saying "QED," which is also brought up during Simon and Lloyd's poker game.

Ingrid and her bird collection can be added to the list that already includes the crows and the bird crashing into Fiona's window.

So, is that Simon strangling Nicole in her vision? Creepy. I'm wondering if she finds out his secret and tries to intervene.

How'd you feel about this week's episode? Any new theories on what's going to happen over the next few months? Let's get the conversation going!

Nicole and Harlow Play While Joel Meets Tattoo Controversy

PopSugar — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 12:30:00 -0700

Harlow rested on her mom's baby bump as Nicole Richie carried her around LA yesterday. The girls have been holding down the fort while Joel played in a celebrity poker tournament in Monte Carlo last night. His trip hasn't been all fun and games - an employee at British Airways made Joel cover his tattoos before allowing him on a flight on Sunday. Joel took to his Twitter in outrage, and Nicole and his fans also spoke out in his defense. Now the airline is blaming the employee, stating there are no regulations against tattoos. No wonder Joel is eager to get back home, but at least he seems to be having some fun in the meantime.

Ben and Matt Gamble for a Good Reason

PopSugar — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 05:01:00 -0700

Last year Matt Damon and Ben Affleck celebrated their holiday weekend with a BFF family trip to Hawaii, and this year they were back together for a different reason. The Boston boys showed off their skills, along with friends like Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle, at the 2nd annual Ante Up for Africa charity poker tournament in Las Vegas last night. From the looks of those big smiles, they didn't have a problem whether they were losing or winning, it was all for a good cause. We know that the crises overseas are so important to both Matt and Ben, but it's always nice to add a little bit of fun into dedicated philanthropy.

Drew is Taking Up Poker

PopSugar — Fri, 28 Jul 2006 12:23:49 -0700

We haven't seen Drew for a while, but we are always psyched when she comes out of hiding. She was in Vegas on Thursday at the World Series of Poker to promote her fall movie, Lucky You. The movie is set at the 2003 World Series of Poker, and she said she missed out on lessons from the pros, but would love to now pick up tips from the experts. Here's more from Drew:

"Now that I don't have to stay true to the movie for my character, I'm planning to pick up as many tips as I can from the experts so I can go home and kick my friends' butts," the 31-year-old actress said.

Barrymore said she holds regular $20 or $100 buy-in home games with friends and members of her boyfriend Fabrizio Moretti's band, The Strokes.

But she doesn't plan to follow actress Jennifer Tilly into playing poker for a living.

"I really couldn't do that. I made a $200 bet the other night (on blackjack) and I was like thinking it was the craziest thing on the planet," she said.

Lucky You will be in theaters September 8th. We can't wait to see this cute girl again. Lots more pictures from the press conference so read more

Introducing: Ask Two Guys About Guys

TresSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:01:14 -0700

A few months ago, I stumbled upon the awesome book Don't Be That Guy, an illustrated book that delineated the myriad types of guys no guy should be.

There are the guys who verbally encourage themselves while working out at the gym, or guys who wear sunglasses at nonprofessional poker tournaments, or guys with Amish beards who aren't Amish (my personal fave). The list goes on.

In addition to being funny, Don't Be That Guy gave me a peek into the male psyche. It was refreshing to have a couple dudes honestly (and hilariously) list what bugs them about other guys. (I can't always be the one complaining about men!)

Well, lucky for us, writer Colin Nissan and illustrator Sean Farrell agreed to answer some nagging lady-questions for a few weeks (and maybe beyond?). So stay tuned for tomorrow's installment of Ask Two Guys About Guys, where the two guys explain the ancient mystery of why some men insist on masturbating even though they have regular sex partners. This should be fun!
