I recently saw a video where Snoop Dog was giving a speech after being inducted into the celebrity wing of the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) Hall of Fame. Other people in this category that have been inducted are Mr. T, Pete Rose, and even Donald Trump. They also have a "warrior wing" in their Hall of Fame which includes of all people Joan Lunden.
To see more info about the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame scroll down about 3/4 way on this link:

I think having a Celebrity wing in the Poker Hall of Fame would add some pizzaz to the entity. There are countless Hollywood and other celebrities who enjoy poker and many of these people add to the overall good of the community. Why not take advantage of this fact and have a celebrity wing. People like Gabe Kaplan, Vince Van Patten, Matt Damon, etc could be added to the HOF yearly. This might help energize poker to some degree. Inducting people like let's say Matt Damon would probably get a lot of play on shows like Entertainment Tonight. It would also help make poker even more mainstream.
