For its next season, Bravo's Celebrity Poker Showdown gets a new co-host and a new location. In support of
the people affected by Hurricane Katrina, the poker contest will film at Harrah's Casino in New Orleans. The building
was damaged in the hurricane and just reopened in February. All the celebrities involved with be playing for Hurricane
Katrina-related charities. Also, Phil Gordon is out. His
replacement is poker champ Phil Hellmuth. Don't worry, Dave Foley is still the other co-host. No word yet on which
celebs will participate, but I'd love it if they invite Bonnie Hunt back. She was hilarious.TV Squad Hot Topics
