They've fled the Upper East Side in search of greener, grittier pastures, but they haven't completely forgotten their prep school roots. Meet the Neolites: Privileged girls who are re-inventing what it means to be a socialite. More»

Champion Skier Lindsay Vonn is beastly strong and really hot. She also knows how to transform herself into an elegant lady when called upon to do so. We're assuming you, gentle reader, are also super muscular and pretty, but that you lack those red carpet skills. Let Lindsay show you how! More»

Bode Miller would rather be skiing. In New York to promote his limited edition Bode Bang Watch for Hublot, the Olympic gold medalist gamely answered questions, but his mind seemed far away, perhaps on slopes and schussing and other ski terms that we don't know. We asked him a few questions, then pondered why we ourselves aren't more relaxed/sporty/famous. More»

On the cusp of its bacchanalian Carnival, Rio's mayor is cracking down on all the fun that made the city's beaches an international destination. A coastline devoid of food vendors and volleyball (and with new port-a-potties!) seems incomplete. But, no, I'll still say it beats blizzardy New York right now. More»

As Rio de Janeiro scrambles to rehabilitate the seedier aspects of its image (see: City of God) in preparation for the 2016 Olympics, the rewards of one government-sponsored program were unveiled last Friday with a fashion show featuring clothes designed by the city's prostitutes. More»

[The Fuwa, the mascots of the Beijing Olympics]

And alas, Sunday night"s closing ceremony marked the end of the Games of the XXIX Olympiad in Beijing China. And what a Games it was! Arnold gave US athletes an awesome send off before they left for China. Michael Phelps managed to pull off 8 golds to become the most decorated (greatest) Olympian ever, and we bumped into him and his cocked Lacoste hat at China Doll. Opening ceremony tickets were nearly impossible to come by, fetching prices upwards of 30K (and Bill Gates was rumored to have spent 400K on an air-conditioned box). Henry Kissinger was spotted sleeping at a basketball game. Vince Vaughn hung out with the US athletes at the USA house. You can find Mcdonalds everywhere on planet earth, even in the Olympic Village cafeteria. We encouraged Olympic twins to mate. The pool in the village was quite the scene, and gate crashers were a no go at the village "sex fest". Till next time, London 2012 here we come!

McDonald

Its official, there"s simply no place on earth where Mcdonald"s hasn"t forged its footprint, and perhaps nothing better proves this than their presence in the cafeteria in the Olympic Athlete Village. There is a full menu and best of all its FREE! See Olympians are in fact human, they have the same weakness for Big Macs and fries like us.

The Bud Club has been quite the party spot in Beijing these games. Open every other night, there is copious amounts of free beer (Budweiser only of course), spacious dance floors, and athletes wall-to-wall. WIth sporting events over this evening in China, this place is guaranteed to be live tonight! And the best part is all spectators and athletes alike are welcome to come together and celebrate. So head on over if you are in Beijing tonight, Ni Hao, Bihvhar!

[Gold medalist tennis player Rafael Nadal is GOLD literally!]

The shoes in the Nike store in Beijing are pretty awesome. A large colorful selection of kicks that is sure to satisfy whatever color preference you might have. In addition, the life-sized pictures of athletes including Rafael Nadal are part of the whole Olympic theme the store has adopted for the Games.

More pictures HERE.

Jason Read has been out and about in Beijing, meeting up with princes, keeping an eye out for whale tails, and trying to keep that hot bod of his toned. Bihvhar indeed!

If you want to send JR your wishes or any things that you would like for him to cover, you can email him at bihvhar [at] guestofaguest [dot] com.

The men's crew races are really starting to heat up, but the REAL fun will begin in less than a week when the work is over and the partying can begin!
