ARTICLES - Celebrities Go Mad For Dominoes Game!

This might just be the most curious and improbable gambling story of the decade. Michael Coverdale reports on the intriguing phenomenon of Hollywood A-listers going crazy for their domino fix.
Famed for wild parties, excessive use of drugs and alcohol and the occasional sex-tape; A-list celebrities are such a global fascination that millions cling to their every word, meaning that a Twitter update describing what a superstar has just had for breakfast somehow becomes ‘big news’.

However, could this all be about to change? Apparently so. Step forward A-list powerhouses Eva Longoria and Victoria Beckham who have recently gone into business together to open a restaurant, with a somewhat implausible theme: their shared fascination for the game of dominoes.  This new venture has followed a trend in Hollywood, which has seen the A-list celebrities fall into a serious habit of playing the game.

It seems like these gravity-defying celebrities, many of whom are now into their thirties and forties are now beginning to show their age, with the likes of Demi Moore and Charlize Theron preferring a game of ‘doms’ to the party lifestyle for which they are so famous.
Earlier this year Demi and her partner Ashton Kutcher hosted a dominoes party with Vanity Fair magazine and Bally in aid of the Art of Elysium children’s charity, with Paris Hilton, Eva Longoria, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Kate Bosworth and Salma Hayek among the big names in attendance.

The version of dominoes they play has been labelled Hollywood Dominoes. It has now been distributed across America, with its owners labelling it “the gaming sensation sweeping across Hollywood and beyond”.

According to Hollywood Domino: “The Hollywood paparazzi is more intrusive than ever before and as a result major Hollywood stars are choosing to avoid the limelight and stay at home to either host or attend game nights.”
