LA Lakers:
Casino Night for Youth Foundation draws massive
celebrity participation
 Dean Cain, Kobe
Bryant, Paris Hilton and even her mom joined the
festivities to honor a great cause Wednesday night,
the Bodog.com sponsored LA Lakers Casino Night,
which raised money for the Lakers Youth Foundation.
The
Lakers
Youth
Foundation
is dedicated to using its resources to provide
life-enriching opportunities for today’s
youth.
The
Lakers
Read to Achieve program focuses on literacy with the
goals of building a lifelong love of reading in
young people, promoting the value of reading and
online literacy, and encouraging families and adults
to read regularly with young children.
The enormously popular
celebrity-filled event originally drew the ire of
the United States Justice Department, whose position
it is that casino-related themes and youth charities
simply do not mix. The show still went on as
planned, with Bodog.com sponsoring the
much-anticipated poker tournament.
Bodog.com CEO Calvin
Ayre gave a riveting speech to the hoards of
celebrities who filled the massive hangar space.
"Yadda yadda yadda
yadda yadda" was about the extent of that speech.
It reminded us of something out of a Peanuts
television show where the parents speak in an
incoherent tone of voice.
Ayre of course arrived
fashionably late in his stretch hummer along with
beautiful models, some of whom are dating him.
Sports911.com's
newest addition, reporter Anna Lexington, worked the
red carpet with a broken microphone...not that it
mattered. Our photographer got the shots most
paparazzi and Wired Image would kill for. In
fact, all of LA's hottest photographers were on hand
to shoot the parade of A List celebrities who walked
the red carpet.
This was a crazy night
for Sports911.com. The site recorded
unprecedented traffic following the American Idol
elimination hour. That coverage was hosted by
Sports911.com's other beauties Senior Reporter Jenny
Woo, Payton O'Brien and everyone's favorite
professional sports team cheerleader and dancer,
Destiney Lewis, who is slated to appear on NBC's hit
series "Deal or No Deal".
Say it isn't so.
Bodog.com's Virginal Fawn Seeton giving an
interview? Could it be?
Dr. Buss: What the
hell is that on my left shoulder?
It's Luke Walton of
the LA Lakers
Yo! Over here
please!
Now get on your knees
and beg me to interview you with this broken
microphone
I'm blonde and so is
my boss, therefore the microphone does not work.
Honestly, I have no
clue what I am doing here.....But yes it is for a
good cause and that is all that matters
We have no idea what
Anna asked her....but it must have been good.
Never fear....Anna
Lexington is here.....
Sports911.com's Anna
Lexington snags both Kobe and his lovely wife

Sports911.com's newest
addition to its esteemed reporter staff (the best in
the business) Anna Lexington
Oh yeah, that's
Calvin Ayre with her....fashionably late as usual
and being cussed out by the bitch photographer
camped out first on the red carpet before we pushed
her out of the way....as we felt it was only fitting
that Sports911.com be the first to greet Mr. Ayre.
WE HAVE MORE ON THE
WAY.....STAY TUNED FOR THE PARTY SHOTS
