Warney attracts Madge to poker table

Beefcake Australian bowler Shane Warne hosted a celebrity poker event earlier this week with famous stars such as Madonna and the Hugh Grant attending.

The £10,000 a head charity poker tournament was arranged by the world-class cricketer in honour of the Shane Warne Foundation and Goldsmith's Ecological Trust.

Zac Goldsmith helped to organise the fundraiser and his sister Jemima Khan attended the event with blithering Englishman Hugh Grant in tow.

There was a £100,000 cash prize up for grabs at the poker event, which was held at the Fifty club in St James, central London.

Other celebrities desperate to gain some fleeting column inches included the tantric sex-loving pop star Sting and his wife Trudi Styler as well as Teddy Sheringham and Tom Parker Bowles.

Warne wrote in his internet blog ahead of the event that he was hoping to raise a substantial amount, reports the Sun.

He said: "Madonna and Hugh Grant are playing and we are raising around 300,000 British quid for my foundation and Zac's Ecology Trust."
