The Real Deal: Robert Wagner, Don Johnson. Woke up to Xahcjaxaj (no sex)

Opening night for the show was terrific, and it was a pleasure to meet some Hollywood legends like Don Johnson, Robert Wagner, and Bob Newhart. These guys are still amazing! First we had an opening party, then we hung out in the green room, then we did the show and then we all had a nice dinner party afterwards. I had my wife along, and we opted to catch a movie in bed at 11:30 pm. I was asked to host the show today (Wednesday), and I agreed to do it. So today I'm in the early 5:00 pm show as a pro, and then I do the 8:00 pm show as the host. I'm looking forward to it!

I woke up today, and the first thing I did was check my emails and phone calls. Scott Ian [Hi Scott, I know you read my BLOG! Congrats on your DC comic books deal being extended to another comic book.] texted me Slash's email address, and that's pretty cool. Then I received a request to help Natalie Gulbis on "Celebrity Apprentice," and I love Natalie (I'm a fan), but I'm in Annie Duke's "Bullpen" already for that show. Annie and I have a television show together ("Best Damn Poker Show" on FSN in January), we both represent UltimateBet.com, and we have been friends for 12 years. So I called Annie to find out what was up, and she said, "If you help Natalie I will kill you!" Then the producers of the show made Annie call me back on a phone line that they were taping. After that drama ended, I emailed Mike Phelps to see if he wanted to go on Celeb Apprentice tonight in NYC as Annie's guest…Then, I watched pokertube.com to catch the episode last night because I had a $20,000 side bet on what the river card was in a hand vs. Kelly Kim. KK had A-K and I had 3-3, I bet the river card was the 7d, and he bet the Qd. Tuan Lee bet 50% of the money. I lost!! So all off this happened before I got out of bed!! Now I'm getting up and heading off to the gym, and then straight to the Venetian for the 5:00 pm show…
