Longtime Mending Kids International supporter Mel Gibson with Gene Simmons, Robert Downey, Jr., Sean Penn and Jodie Foster hosted “Four Kings & An Ace” poker tournament on Saturday, December 1 at The London West Hollywood. Among other notables were World Series Of Poker Winner Jamie Gold, Madeleine Stowe, Emily VanCamp and most of the cast of “Revenge,” Danny Trejo, Greg Louganis, Garry Shandling, Camille Grammer, Chuck Zito, Patricia Arquette, Linda Thompson, Quinton Aaron and World Poker Tour players Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten. These celebrities were able to raise enough funds for eight missions to provide almost 200 children around the world life-saving surgeries.
