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: 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.
Lucky Strike Lanes was the venue for the LA Comedy Shorts Festival/Digital College Network celebrity beirut party held last year April. Alcohol was optional and celebs and everyday players were randomly teamed up. Aisha Tyler of 24 and CSI hosted the games as the 'pong mistress' and celeb players included Gary Anthony Williams (Boston Legal, Boondocks), Brad Sherwood (Who's Line Is It Anyway) and others.
There are web sites devoted to collecting pics of beer pong celebrities. Lots of famous folk have been snapped while batting balls and knocking back brewskis. Controversial DJ Howard Stern sometimes shows games on his web-TV show. In true shock-jock mode, the teams feature impressively augmented, scantily-clothed 'co-ed' competitors.
'Fictional' beer pong celebrities: Famous boozers are the obvious choices here and there are tons of blogs, college rags, comedy sketches and other humorous interpretations of celebs playing beirut. David Hasselhoff (Baywatch, America's Got Talent), Charlie Sheen (Two And A Half Men, Platoon), Lindsay Lohan (Mean Girls, Herbie Fully Loaded), Kiefer Sutherland (24, A Time To Kill), Danny DeVito (It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Batman Returns), Russell Crowe (Gladiator, Proof Of Life), George W Bush, Homer Simpson and many others have been portrayed in funny beirut scenes.
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.
