Looks like Ashton Kutcher is hoping to join the likes of Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Cameron Diaz, Brad Pitt and Tobey Maguire at the poker tables soon.
Ashton Kutcher will learn to play poker from one of the best in the business. Ashton Kutcher paid $14,000 to have a private poker lesson with the duchess of poker and a poker icon Annie Duke.
The That 70?s Show Star attended an auction with his wife Demi Moore. The couple were some of the celebrities attending the charity auction hosted by uBid.com to raise funds for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Ashton Kutcher felt compelled to attend the event when he learned all the proceeds from the auction were going to aid the ongoing Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
"I was lying in bed with my wife, and we were watching TV, and we're watching all the stuff that's going on with the hurricane disasters and I started to get pissed!”
"I was getting really, really pissed off. I'm like, 'Why isn't the government ready for something like this? Why aren't they doing something?" Kutcher said.
Ashton Kutcher's ex-girlfriend, Brittany Murphy, also attended the Sin City party, as well as 'N Sync star Lance Bass, who bid $30,000 also attended the auction held in the Empire Ballroom in Las Vegas.
Ashton Kutcher was in attendance with his wife, Demi Moore, in what was the couple's first public appearance in North America since their marriage late last month. A handful of other celebrities and pro players turned up for the event, including Nick and Drew Lachey, David Spade, Macaulay Culkin, Mila Kunis, Seth Green, Cris Judd, Joe Reitman, Krista Allen, A.J. DiScala, Phil Gordon, Lance Bass, Jessica Biel, and Cary Hart.
We'll wait and see to find out if Annie Duke's poker tips can help out Ashton Kutcher enough to beat Cameron Diaz and her crazy enthusiasm for poker at the next celebrity tournament.
Be there in person to find out, but the nice men down at the police station tell me I'm still not allowed to come within a quarter mile of Cameron Diaz. Back to the online tournaments for me, it seems.
The uBid.com Online Celebrity Auction was held at the Empire Ballroom in Las Vegas, Nevada. Kutcher decided to attend after he learned that all of the proceeds were going to aid the ongoing Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.
