Bingo Celebs

Funny, after I read about the White Stripes interest in bingo I tried to search names of other celebrities who enjoy a game of online bingo and I came up with a nice list of many actors, athlets, musicians and so on who are avid fans of bingo and online bingo games.

Among them are both American and British celebrities like: Russel Crowe, Catherine-Zeta Jones, Shane Richie, Jade Jagger, Denise Van Outen, Michael Douglas, Sara Cox, Robbie Williams and even the ex-president of the United States, Mr. Bill Clinton himself claimed that he is into bingo games here and there.

Nice respectful list, if you ask me. Makes me feel honored to be an online bingo player among others.

White Stripes are into Bingo

Heh, I just read that the rock group, the White Striped ended their Canadian tour with a show in Newfoundland and later, their singer, Jack White, ended the evening at the local bingo parlor.
What happened to the days where rock groups ended their shows with wilder things? 75 ball bingo and rock'n'roll is the best combination I guess...

National Bingo Night is back!

Nice. I just read that ABC will air some new episodes of National Bingo Night, a pretty cool TV series. As far as I know there were at least 6 episodes that were aired during 2007, but now ABC announced they want to shoot some more episodes.
National Bingo Night is hosted by Ed Sanders, the guy from Extreme Makeover (Home Edition).

The concept behind NBN is interesting because it allows home viewers to play the game while watching, but somehow I understood that the ratings weren't that good, so ABC decided to end the show after 6 episodes.

Usually, I'm not a big fan of reality TV, but NBN is an interesting format and a good idea and I will sure watch the new episoded. Good luck for them.

world of bingo

Guess who won the 4th of July online bingo tournament?
Yes, you guessed it right, it was me.

I've read in couple of places that Online Bingo becomes a huge hit in many places, even in Latin America. I never considered Mexicao to be a bingo loving nation, but I guess this is the case.
I do remember that in my last visit in Spain I saw quite a few bingo parlors so I guess that somehow bingo is indeed a universal thing.
