HollywoodPoker.com celebrated its one-year anniversary last week and so many stars attended it must've shut down the industry for the night. The event was held at Hollywood's Montmartre Lounge, where HollwoodPoker.com's Vince Van Patten welcomed such celebrity guests as Dennis Quaid, Shannon Elizabeth, Chris Jones, Alana Curry and Katie Lohmann.

The celebs weren't there only to celebrate the HollywoodPoker.com's milestone, but also to watch as Van Patten presented checks to the American Red Cross and Quaid's International Hospital for Children for hurricane relief efforts. The money, which totaled almost $50,000, was raised through charity tournaments online and by a silent auction that evening. People in attendance also got to be the first to see HollywoodPoker.com's 2006 calendar, featuring winners of a
calendar model search.

To award loyal players, the site will hold two $5,000 freerolls. They're open to all players who played on the site with real money during the 90 days leading up to Nov. 30. The freerolls will be held Friday, December 2, at 9 p.m. EST and Sunday, Dec. 4, at 5 p.m. EST.
