About Robert Pattinson: Robert Pattinson, born May 13, 1986, is an actor from London whose name has been dominating the news headlines these recent years. Robert also got involved in modeling, although his career was short-lived. In 2004, he took on a role on the TV series, Ring of the Nibelungs, and was given a role for Vanity Fair, although his scene there was cut.

It was only in the next ye, 2005, that he got his real break. Being cast as Cedric Diggory, the Hogwarts Heartthrob, turned him from a relative nobody to a big, huge, celebrity. All of a sudden, fan girls were screaming his name and fan sites were being made in his honor. Getting his first big break as Cedric Diggory in the ever popular Harry Potter Series in the year 2003, Pattinson has been a mainstay in the limelight ever since.

After his role as Edward in the movie Twilight last year, Robert has been blazing. He won the 2008 Best Actor Award at the Strasbourg for his astounding performance as the character Art in How to Be. He also received the 2008 New Hollywood Award, given by the Hollywood Film Festival Award Committee.

His role as Edward Cullen skyrocketed his career, and now Robert Pattinson is snagging roles left and right.

According to a report, the “Twilight” actor is up for the role of Britain’s Prince Harry in a future film about the highs and lows of the young price’s royal experiences. The role is reportedly still in talks and, word has it, Pattinson is up against “Harry Potter” star Rupert Grint, who is also being considered for the part of Prince Harry.

The movie is set to begin filming next year in both the UK and the Middle East and will include Harry’s trials and tribulations, such as the death of his mother Princess Diana, and his time spent on the front line of the Army in Afghanistan.

The Poker Hiphop: Jay-Z

One of the famous hip-hopper, agent, songwriter, businessman and no good poker player Jay-Z, by his real name Shawn Corey Carter, has recently developed a new passion, for which he seems willing to allocate not only time, but also significant amounts of money.




Playing blackjack and poker are his game, beyond his special talent for music which brought significant amounts of money to his personal treasury, Jay-Z has discovered another talent of his: he loves poker and seems to be getting better and better at it.

In 2008, Jay-Z revealed his passion for poker while in London, with the occasion of a tour in UK. Back then he stated that he liked to play at the casinos in London and that he likes playing especially because the press is not always watching him.

Jay-Z considers himself to be an expert with regard to gambling and he thinks that he is difficult to defeat in poker or blackjack.

“I am a pretty good player, almost professional. I won’t give names because I don’t want to ruin it all, but there are here (i.e. in London) all sorts of private clubs in West End, where you can go and play and where the atmosphere is super cool”, said Jay-Z.

His passion for poker is also shared by the rapper’s wife, Beyonce Knowles. The diva prefers the casino Fifty, a location where neither she nor her husband is in short supply of thousands of dollars to spend at the playing poker.

Jay-Z is not famous only for his talent at poker, but also for the colossal losses registered on account of his passion. The most notorious news about Jay-Z is the one referring to the loss of nearly one million dollars on a single hand of poker in Las Vegas, at the end of 2008.

With all these, with an estimated personal fortune of $547 million, it’s not hard to see that the amount lost did not represent that much and that high-stake gambling are not a problem for the rapper. Moreover, the rapper would be extremely interested of opening his own casino in Vegas, an area which he visited many times next to Beyonce. It seems that Jay-Z intends to extend his business from Atlantic City, the 40/40 club, and to turn it into a location for gambling.

Like most celebrities keen on gambling, Jay-Z is no stranger to poker tours for charity purposes in which many important names from all fields of activity, especially show-biz, take part.

Even more, the rapper even organized together with the star of the “Yankees” team, Alex Rodriguez, a poker tour for celebrities in his club in New York, with the purpose of raising money for charity. The celebrities to take part in the event included Nelly, Ashanti, Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Harvey, Dj Clue, Anthony Mackie and much more.
