Welcome to Universal Studios Monday meant the players who travelled to LA for the WPT Celebrity Invitational had a day off in Los Angeles.

Oh yes, I am curled up in the middle – all anxious and tired. May have something to with going from the conclusion of the Premier League in Vegas direct to the WPT Celebrity Invitational at the Commerce Casino in LA.

After one day at home doing absolutely, blissfully nothing, I headed to Los Angeles yesterday afternoon for the WPT Invitational. I was going there to do hostessing work for the TV side of things – interviewing players when they bust etc – but I also had to do something that I’ve always dreaded: walk the red carpet.
