Nicole Scherzinger: The Poker Doll

As always, celebrities are experts in getting the attention of almost everybody. People find them entertaining no matter what they are doing. Watching them play poker is indeed a very entertaining experience. There is no better way to give money than to give it while enjoying as well. Playing poker offers them the opportunity to help while having fun at the same time.





Nicole Scherzinger and her other girl group pussy cat dolls also play poker! As I googled their sites, I stumble upon their poker island escapade where they play poker against a professional poker player for the first time. Here's some clip of their interview:

Speaker: The Pussycat Dolls don’t avoid water like other cats. More the opposite, on the yacht they showed how much they love water. Normally you would think that a day on a yacht with a lot of sun and water would be perfect, but when they arrived on Poker Island, the front kitten Nicole Scherzinger was speechless.

Nicole: We really didn’t knew what to expect from Ibiza, but we never thought we would see something like this. I never would imagine something like that.



Speaker: Nicole never played poker before. After a short entry they were supposed to play, against some real poker players from Poker Island. Thank good you can dope yourself in this kind of sport (they meant the alcohol ). Then Nicole says the cheers thing, you can hear it coz they didn’t put the voice over, over her voice.

Speaker: And wow, we don’t know if it was because of our camera or maybe they just had luck, they had some really great cards in the game.

Nicole: I just had pair two aces and two six’ , but Jess was better, she beat me, she had a full house. And no this has nothing in to do with the fact that she is sleeping with Bob Segatt.



Speaker: And as long as the game is, as harder they fight and the kittens have to search for some new tricks.

Kimberly: You have to know the game and you need the right Poker Face. In this game you just have to act like you have the best cards in the world and I am pretty good at it…at least for a beginner.

Speaker: No not that good, because more and more players went out, at the end just Nicole and one of the real players are in the game. And then it happens. (she hits the glass)



Player: Now you must leave the Table.

Nicole: Awww…but I am sorry, really! Damn…you don’t want to lose a poker game like this…! I am not a real player, or at least just when I am on stage and perform my songs Speaker: How this looks in Ibiza we show you on Monday in the VIP Lounge and tomorrow we go with the Pussycat Dolls to a hot Shooting.

About Nicole Scherzinger: She's a Hawaiian, Filipina and Russian descent, and comes from a large family of entertainers -- her mother, Rosemary, was a professional hula dancer and her grandmother was a respected Mariachi singer. As a teenager, she was the first runner-up at the 1996 Kentucky State Fair's Coca-Cola Talent Classic contest, and she appeared in several plays at Louisville's Actors Theater.

In 2000, she was chosen as a popstar group Eden's Crush. In 2003, a friend told Nicole about a casting call for a new group called the Pussycat Dolls and even though she missed the auditions, she was allowed to drop by and perform for the executives in charge.



They were so impressed with Nicole Scherzinger's stage presence and vocals that they opened discussions with her immediately about joining the group as lead singer, and soon reached an agreement.

Tourism Best Mexico Hotels

Cancun, QR Information by Rough Guides
Hand-picked by computer, CANCÚN is, if nothing else, proof of Mexico's remarkable ability to get things done in a hurry if the political will is there. A fishing village of 120 people as recently as 1970, it's now a city with a resident population of half a million and receives almost two million visitors a year. To some extent the computer selected its location well. Cancún is marginally closer to Miami than it is to Mexico City, and if you come on an

all-inclusive package tour the place has a lot to offer: striking modern hotels on white-sand beaches; high-class entertainment including parachuting, jet-skiing, scuba-diving and golf; a hectic nightlife; and from here much of the rest of the Yucatán is easily accessible. For the independent traveller, though, it is expensive, and can be frustrating and unwelcoming. You may well be forced to spend the night here, but without pots of money the true pleasures of the place will elude you.

There are, in effect, two quite separate parts to Cancún: the zona commercial downtown – the shopping and residential centre which, as it gets older, is becoming genuinely earthy – and the zona hotelera, a string of hotels and tourist amenities around "Cancún island", actually a narrow strip of sandy land connected to the mainland at each end by causeways. It encloses a huge lagoon, so there's water on both sides.

Secret of Savings $1 Million

Retire with a million in savings: 6 Simple Steps to $1 Million
This article is part of a series related to being Financially Fit

Let's face it; we all don't make millions of dollars a year, and the odds are that most of us won't receive a large windfall inheritance either. However, that doesn't mean that we can't build sizeable wealth - it'll just take some time. If you're young, time is on your side and retiring a millionaire is achievable. Read on for some tips on how to increase your savings and work toward this goal.

01. Stop Senseless Spending:
Unfortunately, people have a habit of spending their hard-earned cash on goods and services that they don't need. Even relatively small expenses, such as indulging in a gourmet coffee from a premium coffee shop every morning, can really add up - and decrease the amount of money you can save. Larger expenses on luxury items also prevent many people from putting money into savings each month.
That said, it's important to realize that it's usually not just one item or one habit that must be cut out in order to accumulate sizable wealth (although it may be). Usually, in order to become wealthy one must adopt a disciplined lifestyle and budget. This means that people who are looking to build their nest eggs need to make sacrifices somewhere - this may mean eating out less frequently, using public transportation to get to work and/or cutting back on extra, unnecessary expenses.
This doesn't mean that you shouldn't go out and have fun, but you should try to do things in moderation - and set a budget if you hope to save money. Fortunately, particularly if you start saving young, saving up a sizeable nest egg only requires a few minor (and relatively painless) adjustments to your spending habits.
02. Fund Retirement Plans ASAP:
When individuals earn money, their first responsibility is to pay current expenses such as the rent or mortgage expenses, food and other necessities. Once these expenses have been covered, the next step should be to fund a retirement plan or some other tax-advantaged vehicle.
Unfortunately, retirement planning is an afterthought for many young people. Here's why it shouldn't be: funding a IRA early on in life means you can contribute less money overall and actually end up with significantly more in the end than someone who put in much more money but started later.
How much difference will funding a vehicle such as a Roth IRA early on in life make?
If you're 23 years old and deposit $3,000 per year (that's only $250 each month!) in a Roth IRA earning and 8% average annual return, you will have saved $985,749 by the time you are 65 years old due to the power of compounding. If you make a few extra contributions, it's clear that a $1 million goal is well within reach. Also keep in mind that this is mostly interest - your $3,000 contributions only add up to $126,000.
Now, suppose that you wait an additional 10 years to start contributing. You have a better job and you know you've lost some time, so you contribute $5,000 per year. You get the same 8% return and you aim to retire at 65. When you reach age 65, you will have saved $724,753. That's still a sizeable fund, but you had to contribute $160,000 just to get there - and it's no where near the $985,749 you could've had for paying much less.
03. Improve Tax Awareness:
Sometimes, individuals think that doing their own taxes will save them money. In some cases, they might be right. However, in other cases it may actually end up costing them money because they fail to take advantage of the many deductions available to them.
Try to become more educated as far as what types of items are deductible. You should also understand when it makes sense to move away from the standard deduction and start itemizing your return.
However, if you're not willing or able to become very well educated filing your own income tax, it may actually pay to hire some help, particularly if you are self employed, own a business or have other circumstances that complicate your tax return.
04. Own Your Home:
At some point in our lives, many of us rent a home or an apartment because we cannot afford to purchase a home, or because we aren't sure where we want to live for the longer term. And that's fine. However, renting is often not a good long-term investment because buying a home is a good way to build equity.
Unless you intend to move in a short period of time, it generally makes sense to consider putting a down payment on a home. (At least you would likely build up some equity over time and the foundation for a nest egg.)
05. Avoid Luxury Wheels:
There's nothing wrong with purchasing a luxury vehicle. However, individuals who spend an inordinate amount of their incomes on a vehicle are doing themselves a disservice - especially since this asset depreciates in value so rapidly.
How rapidly does a car depreciate?
Obviously, this depends on the make, model, year and demand for the vehicle, but a general rule is that a new car loses 15-20% of its value per year. So, a two-year old car will be worth 80-85% of its purchase price; a three-year old car will be worth 80-85% of its two-year-old value.
In short, especially when you are young, consider buying something practical and dependable that has low monthly payments - or that you can pay for in cash. In the long run, this will mean you'll have more money to put toward your savings - an asset that will appreciate, rather than depreciate like your car.
06. Don't Sell Yourself Short:
Some individuals are extremely loyal to their employers and will stay with them for years without seeing their incomes take a jump. This can be a mistake, as increasing your income is an excellent way to boost your rate of saving.
Always keep your eye out for other opportunities and try not to sell yourself short. Work hard and find an employer who will compensate you for your work ethic, skills and experience.

Bottom Line:

You don't have to win the lottery to see seven figures in your bank account. For most people, the only way to achieve this is to save it. You don't have to live like a pauper to build an adequate nest egg and retire comfortably. If you start early, spend wisely and save diligently, your million-dollar dreams are well within reach.
