The Hard Rock Hotel Celebrity Poker Tournament benefited the Magic Johnson Foundation and the Starky Hearing Foundation. Celebrities including Magic Johnson, Spike Lee, Nicolette Sheridan, Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy Osbourne and Michael Bolton participated in the event along with all the heavy hitters in sports, poker, music and entertainment. Each celebrity participated in the poker tournament that included 42 tables.

Fun Friends were included in the official celebrity gift bag for the tournament. Featured in the product showcase room, Fun Friends were fondled by the "who's who" including Magic Johnson himself who dunked a basketball Fun Friend phone cover.

Along for the magic night was Sarah Spain of eBay fame. Spain joined Fun Friends at the tournament as their guest. Spain gained celebrity status by offering herself as a hot date to the Super Bowl. After bidding reached exorbitant amounts, eBay pulled her auction off their site. Spain got her wish by joining Fun Friends at the Hard Rock Hotel Celebrity Poker Tournament.

With more than 100 styles and endless ideas for more, the cute and cuddly accessories are made to fit on bar or flip-style phones. Fun Friends are also made to jazz up staplers, remote controls, iPods and other items and also feature matching keychains and magnets.
