Snoop Dogg was truly living his best life at the Olympics. He was quickly becoming a supporting star, although unexpected, at the Paris Olympics in 2024. It seems that the musician has landed himself a gig as a sports commentator for NBC and Peacock. And he is taking his role very seriously, making sure to be present at all the major events so he can provide his end-of-the-day analysis.
On the second day of the Olympics, Snoop took a seat in the stands for the artistic gymnastics qualification events on Sunday morning. Team USA's superstar, Simone Biles, was topping the leaderboard. It was a triumphant return for the Olympian, who had a tough time in Tokyo three years ago. The audience got to witness history being made as Simone became the first woman to land the Yurchenko double pike at the games, scoring a massive 15.800.
Despite a minor injury scare, Simone still managed to score a huge 14.600 in the floor event. However, she was seen grimacing on some of her landings during her routine. As the most decorated gymnast in history, she has advanced to the final in all four individual events - vault, uneven bars, beam, and floor exercise. She also led the USA to first place through the second of five qualifying sessions.
It was clear that Snoop was having the time of his life. He was seen enthusiastically clapping for the competitors, while also playfully lifting his sunglasses. And to add to his cool factor, he was sporting a tracksuit covered in the American flag and embossed with the five Olympic rings logo. He even paired it with some shades, perhaps to protect his eyes from the shining performance of 27-year-old Simone.
It seems like Snoop is enjoying his time in Paris. Oui, he definitely is! And why wouldn't he be? He has a special job at the games, after all. Joining him at the Bercy Arena in France's capital was Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise. The 62-year-old looked captivated by the incredible display of athleticism happening in front of his eyes. He was seen happily posing for photos and even embraced Lady Gaga, who performed at the opening ceremony, with a big hug.
Speaking of Lady Gaga, she also used the event to spend some quality time with her brother, Frankie Grande. The siblings were seen sitting together, enjoying the sport. Tom and Gaga bumped into each other and shared a warm embrace. Gaga looked effortlessly glamorous in a white dress, while adding some height with a pair of platforms that would be a struggle for most of us to walk in.
For John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, it was a family affair. The couple brought along their young children, Luna and Miles, to witness the incredible display of athleticism. And it's safe to say that it's an experience they won't be forgetting anytime soon. Another celebrity who took the opportunity to bond with family was Ariana Grande. She was seen sitting with her brother Frankie, enjoying the event together.
But it wasn't just about family bonding. Ariana also caught up with her Wicked co-star, Cynthia Erivo. The two looked like they were having a good chat, proving that their friendship goes beyond their work on stage. Meanwhile, Anna Wintour, the queen of fashion, was also in attendance. She had her trademark black sunglasses on, and she looked like she was focusing on the event with her blinders on. She took a break from editing Vogue magazine to witness Simone's return and even shared a kiss with Ariana.
For the occasion, the 74-year-old fashion icon chose a floral dress that perfectly matched the color scheme of her lanyard. It's no surprise that she never misses a fashion beat. It seems that everyone, celebrities included, was caught up in the energy of the arena. Chellsie Memmel, the US squad's national team coordinator, spoke about the presence of celebrities at the Olympics. She explained that although the athletes remain focused on their job, the energy of the arena definitely fuels them and gives them that extra boost. And it was evident from the amazing performances we witnessed.
