This article is an overview of both 'real' and 'fictional' beer pong celebrities. If there is photographic or video proof of the celebs actually playing the game, then they are 'real'. If they merely feature in satire, fantasy leagues or comedy sketches, they are 'fictional'.
About the Game: Also called beirut, this game has many variants and differing house rules. The main goal is to clear all the opposing team's glasses by getting them to drink up and remove glasses from the table. You get them to drink by tossing or paddling a ping-pong ball into a glass, which are arranged on the opposite side of an eight foot long table.
'Real' beer pong celebrities: One of the coolest places to find celebs playing beirut is battling Jimmy Fallon for top honors on Late Night. The funny man's opponents are always women. Jimmy does not emerge victorious from all match-ups. Rules are adjusted for time constraints so that 2 sunk balls equals a win, and they do not use paddles.
Late Night guests who have gone head to head with Jimmy include tennis icons Serena Williams and Anna Kournikova, the fabulous Betty White (Golden Girls, Hot In Cleveland), Jennifer Garner (Alias, Elektra), Jessica Alba (Dark Angel, Sin City), Helen Mirren (The Queen, Calendar Girls), Charlize Theron (Monster, The Life And Death Of Peter Sellers), Sigourney Weaver (Alien, Avatar), Lucy Liu (Charlie's Angels, Ally McBeal) and Kate Hudson (Almost Famous, You, Me And Dupree) to name a few.
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: When the campus rags, blogs, comedians and humor writers write beirut comedy sketches and satire, the tabloid-dominating boozers tend to be the characters of choice. Mr 'Winning' himself, Charlie Sheen (Platoon, Two And A Half Men), David Hasselhoff (America's Got Talent, Baywatch), Lindsay Lohan (Herbie Fully Loaded, Mean Girls), Kiefer Sutherland (A Time To Kill, 24), Danny DeVito (Batman Returns, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia), Russell Crowe (Proof Of Life, Gladiator), George W Bush, even Homer Simpson are just a few special favorites..
Of course, there are people who are actual beer pong celebrities. The World Series of Beer Pong is the longest-running, biggest Beirut tournament, and the last one had a record prize of fifty thousand dollars and featured contestants from forty-five US States and five Canadian Provinces. Contestants buy in to WSOBP or win their way in via official satellite games.
