Beer Pong Celebrities: Well-Known Names Rack Up And Chug Down
In this article, beer pong celebrities fit into two categories: 'real' and 'fictional'. The 'real' ones are celebs whose batting and chugging antics can in fact be verified. The 'fictional' ones are those that have been included in various articles, blogs and sketches as playing the game, but these have mostly been satirical works, and their drinking game rep can not be verified.
About The Game: It is also known as Beirut. While house rules vary from watering hole to frat house to pub, the essential goal is to throw or bat a table-tennis ball into one of the opposing team's rack of mugs/cups from across an eight-foot table. If a mug/cup gets a ball, its contents must be drunk and it is removed from the table. Usually, winning means clearing all your opponents' cups.
'Real' beer pong celebrities: Late Night With Jimmy Fallon features frequent beirut games where female celebs go head to head against Jimmy. There is no guarantee that Jimmy will win. Because of the time constraints of the show, it only takes two sunk balls to win and they do not use paddles.
Quite a few famous ladies have taken up the challenge, and the list includes Betty White (Hot In Cleveland, Golden Girls), Sigourney Weaver (Avatar, Alien), Charlize Theron (The Life And Death Of Peter Sellers, Monster), Helen Mirren (Calendar Girls, The Queen), Jessica Alba (Sin City, Dark Angel), Jennifer Garner (Elektra, Alias), Kate Hudson (You, Me And Dupree, Almost Famous), Lucy Liu (Ally McBeal, Chalie's Angels), and tennis players Anna Kournikova and Serena Williams, among others.
The LA Comedy Shorts Festival and the Digital College Network hosted a celebrity Beirut party at Lucky Strike Lanes in downtown LA in April last year. Players did not have to drink alcohol if they chose not to and celebs and regular players were matched up randomly. The 'pong mistress' was actress Aisha Tyler (24, CSI), and players included Brad Sherwood (Who's Line Is It Anyway), Gary Anthony Williams (Boston Legal, Boondocks) and others.
Several web sites are dedicated to gathering pictures of beer pong celebrities. There are pictures floating around of a whole host of celebs engaged in sinking balls and chugging brewskis. Shock-Jock Howard Stern hosts games on his web TV show from time to time. Lots of scantily-clad, well-endowed 'co-eds' are featured.
'Fictional' beer pong celebrities: Beirut is a great scenario for lampooning those naughty tabloid-making celeb boozers, and favorite satire targets include Tara Reid (Scrubs, American Pie), David Hasselhoff (America's Git Talent, Night Rider), Charlie Sheen (Two And A Half Men, Hot Shots), Kiefer Sutherland (24, The Three Musketeers), Lindsay Lohan (Mean Girls, Herbie Fully Loaded), Russell Crowe (Gladiator, Beautiful Mind), Danny DeVito (It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Twins), George W Bush and even Homer Simpson. These famous party people are featured inn tons of fantasy leagues, campus rags, blogs and comedy sketch shows.
There are, of course, people who should be actual beer pong celebrities for their skill at the actual game. The WSOBP (World Series Of Beer Pong) is the biggest of the beirut tournaments. People wanting to compete buy in or earn their way in by winning official satellite games. Contestants from 25 American States and 5 Canadian Provinces entered the last WSOBP, which had a prize of fifty thousand dollars.
