Beer pong celebrities fall into two categories: real and fictional. The ones that are classified as 'real' can actually be proven to have played the game. The 'fictional' category are those who feature most in dream team scenarios, comedy sketches and satirical pieces.
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: 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.

Tennis stars Serena Williams and (sometimes model) Anna Kournikova, Jessica Alba (Machete, Dark Angel), Betty White (Boston Legal, Hot In Cleveland), Lucy Liu (Charlie's Angels, Ally McBeal), Jennifer Garner (Alias, Valentines Day), Helen Mirren (Red, The Queen), Sigourney Weaver (Ghost Busters, Avatar), Kate Hudson (Nine, You, Me And Dupree) and Charlize Theron (Mighty Joe Young, Monster) are just some lovely ladies that have challenged Mr Fallon on Late Night.
Digital College Network and LA Comedy Shorts Festival held a celeb beirut party in downtown Los Angeles' Lucky Strike Lanes last year April. Regular players and celebs were randomly matched into teams. Players could play alcoholic or non-alcoholic games according to preference. Aisha Tyler (CSI, 24) was the 'pongmistress' and famous players included Gary Anthony Williams (Boondocks, Boston Legal) and Brad Sherwood (Who's Line Is It Anyway) among 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..
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
