David Beckham made the trek to Beijing to
participate in last night's closing ceremony, where the honor of the Summer
Olympics was handed off to London for the 2012 games. His appearance was brief — he basically just kicked the ball while Leona Lewis sang with Jimmy Page — but he also found time to
play spectator a bit while he was in town. While the Beijing games were
likely the most watched Olympics in history, there are some people who are probably
relieved they're over.

Can You Guess the Olympians' Favorite Foods? In the past two weeks, many of us (myself included) have kept our eyes peeled to the television screen watching the
Olympics. You may think you're a die-hard sports fan since you know the number of world records broken or gold medals won, but the real test is whether you know what foods they just can't resist.

Matt and Al's Rhythmic Gymnastics: Hilarious or Humiliating? On the
Today show this morning, Matt Lauer and Al Roker performed a men's tandem rhythmic gymnastics routine to the tune of "Dream Weaver." (Note: Men's tandem rhythmic gymnastics is not an actual sport — yet.) The parody was meant to be funny, and their earnest expressions kinda crack me up . . . but I can't help but wonder if Matt is being forced into that Spandex against his will. What do you think?

Michael Phelps may be getting a much-deserved break after
making history at the
Summer Olympics, but you can rest assured that his huge grin and
hot body aren't going anywhere anytime soon. He's been jonesing for a Big Mac since his final swim, and yesterday Michael spent some of his
10,000 calorie diet on lunch at McDonald's with some of his pint-sized fans. Today it was back to showing off that beach bod with his fellow swimmers in Beijing, and he looked pretty happy to take a break from all of those skintight suits and rock the board shorts for a change.
