absolutepoker.com is going to run online poker tournaments to benefit the International Committee of the Red Cross's relief effort. Absolute Poker had previously raised more than $14,000 for victims of the tsunami in Asia. It is a fun site, and a secure one and what's more, who knows? You could get started now, honing your skills while helping Katrina victims and then go on to win a seat in next year's World Series of Poker. I'll see you at the green felt tables! (By Scott Rose)

Frank Gorshin, an actor who played in the 1957 movie "Invasion of the Saucer Men" has passed away at 71. He became a household name after appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show on the same night as the Beatles and the Broadway cast of "Oliver!" Most famous for playing the Riddler on the 1960's TV series Batman, Gorshin never confirmed the rumor that he had done a three-way with Batman and Robin, though there always was a lot of winking and poking in the ribs over what went on between Robin and his boss. There is talk that Sponge Bob will deliver the eulogy. (By Scott Rose)
