FOR THE FIRST time in almost eight years Comic Relief is back! The star-studded fundraiser will benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina.

UH DRAMA graduate Bette Midler is in negotiations with Harrah’s for a series of shows at the Coliseum at Caesar’s.
WE’VE ALL dreamed of lining up the winning symbols and hitting a big jackpot, people congratulating and touching you for good luck then taking your picture with casino execs and that big foam core check. That’s exactly what happened to Freddy Howard at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino (Hollywood, Fla.), except that when it came time to pay him $260,000, casino officials say the machine malfunctioned and refused to pay the jackpot. Auwe!
THE SECOND annual WSOBP - that’s World Series Of Beer Pong - is happening Jan. 1-5 at the Oasis Resort. The champion goes home with $20,000 and bragging rights. Called the “Greatest Game Ever Played,” Beer Pong pits competitors on opposite sides of a pingpong table with cups full of beer lined up in front of them. If your cup is hit by a pingpong ball, you have to drink it, and the winner is the last player with beer (in a cup) on the table. If this is your kind of game, get the complete hook up at www.KimosVegas.com.
