As the world focuses on London, the home of Olympics 2012, officials have kept a tight lid on what the opening ceremonies will bring. But in the age of Twitter, rumors have been soaring- giving eager Olympic enthusiasts a glimpse into what we might expect in tonight’s Olympic Opener. Here are some of the most tantalizing rumors: Get ready, get set, go!

If a royal family’s town is going to be home to one of the biggest events in the world, they will probably be in attendance. But something lesser known, is the star attendance. One couple rumored to be in the crowd is none other than Hollywood royalty, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.   First Lady, Michelle Obama, is expected to be one of the lucky Olympic fans cheering on America tonight too!

Soccer star David Beckham, and boxing champion, Muhammad Ali, are also reportedly to show.  Not only are they expected to be spotted, it has been buzzing around that they will take center stage in tonight’s exclusive ceremonies.

Whatever the outcome, the Olympic chatter has been everywhere in recent weeks. And as 60,000 fans pack the stadium with millions more tuning in, we can at least know one thing for sure; London is pulling out all the stops and bringing you the Opening Ceremony in true London fashion.

Let the games begin!  Will you be watching?

Ever wonder where they house all of the athletes for the Olympic games? Well we have a sneak peak for you, the newly renovated London Olympic Housing. Opening up just this week for the London Olympic Games, the Housing has been outfitted to hold “16,000 athletes, coaches, and officials.” How’s that for all-inclusive!

This $1.5 billion complex has been built to serve the athletes with a 24-hour cafeteria to keep the athletes fueled. An astonishing 25,000 loaves of bread are expected to be served throughout the Games’ duration along with food inspired by international cuisines such as Carribean, Indian, and Mediterranean, and of course the familiar McDonald’s. Between eating and exercising, these athletes will need to catch some z’s to remain calm. That’s why each athlete-friendly room comes with two beds with sporty-themed blankets reading “excellence, friendship and respect.”

That all sounds wonderful, but from the looks of the released photo, we’re wondering how those muscular athletes fit on those tiny beds?!
