Beer Pong: The Aftermath

On Saturday evening, we briefly stopped by El Guapo to watch the next generation of Hollywood power players throw ping pong balls at each other, guzzle beer, and generally beat the shit out of their peers in the name of good, clean, intermural bloodsport. We didn't stick around too long, for the action had reached such a fever pitch that we feared we'd be forced into a naked pyramid by a serious-looking team wearing military fatigues. Reports from the tourney have trickled in, and this is what we've heard: Rich Demato's Endeavor team captured the trophy (Ari Emanuel must be tickled with delight), three different fights broke out, and Benderspink's JC Spink got in a punch-up with an assistant (from another company, uckily) that spilled onto the sidewalk. That feisty go-getter will probably be running a studio by close of business today.

Some camera-phone pictures we snapped before cupping our balls and fleeing the scene are after the jump:

Look at the brackets! It's like March Madness, but with a lot of drunk assistants throwing beer on each other and arguing over arcane rules involving too much "leaning."

One of the tournament "regions" was winningly named for a part of town that no one in attendance has ever visited.

MGM's Team Downsize rocked our favorite unis, which giddily trumpeted the imminent demise of their studio.

Some of the zeroes from MGM's sale to Sony spilled onto this jersey. According to one rumor, the actual Kirk Kerkorian lost a late-round VIP match to Stacey Snider, after he was DQ'd for trying to blow a spinning ball out of a cup.
