With only 11 weeks left until the start of the 2012 Summer Olympics, the whole world is beginning to buzz with anticipation. The US Olympic trials are still going on, so we're still not sure which athletes will be heading to London this summer. But we do know what they'll be wearing. From the Opening Ceremony to the courts, pools, fields, and tracks, check out the most stylish looks you'll be seeing this summer. More»
With the Olympics less than 100 days away, most of us are sadly realizing that no matter how many games we watch, an Olympic medal will never be ours. Until now, that is! If you're not Michael Phelps there's no need to worry, because this summer he won't be the only one with a prize. More»
"Best $2k I Ever Spent!" Jason Richardson's Birthday Schools Us In How To Party Like An Olympian In Training
Go HERE for more photos by Desiree Ann and tag yourself and your friends!
There's an old Jerry Seinfeld bit about the life of an Olympic athlete: countless thousands of hours of hard work (as he puts it, "doing pushups since I was a fetus") that can be ruined by a single false start, a stumble, or mental mistake on the big stage. What that means is, even as world-class hurdler and Olympic hopeful Jason Richardson was celebrating his 26th birthday at MyStudio with some of the fastest humans on the planet last night, he was still fully in training for the big Games less than four months away. Let's examine... More»
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!
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!
