The Poker Brat on display

Recently we have seen a great deal of Phil Hellmuth, the poker brat. The record setter has helped bring poker out of the shadows into the spotlight, here and abroad. We have seen him crash his sponsor's racecar. We have heard rumors about his possible movie attempt, albeit speculation at this time. Of course we have seen the success he has had at the World Series of Poker 2007, where he won his record 11th bracelet during the tournament.

Until now, we ain't seen nuthin yet. Starting early 2008 we will see the new series of the VH1's hit series, "The Surreal Life". This popular TV Reality Show puts 7 willing stars, of present or old, into one house to live and go through a series of challenges during the course of several months. In the seventh season, the unofficial casting list, as it currently stands, includes Phil Hellmuth, pro Wrestler Randy ‘the Muscle Man' Savage, Nikki McKibbin, Miss Cleo, Carrot Top and Dabney Coleman. The series producers have not finalized the cast list, but it appears that Phil Hellmuth is a lock, and we will be seeing a lot more of him than we ever bargained for
