The World Cup Final Guest List is Weird

Here’s the leaked(?) VIP guest list for the World Cup Final. It includes a random grab bag of notables, athletes and celebrities– FIFA President and criminal Sepp Blatter, who set next to fellow criminal Vladimir Putin, Gisele Bundchen(!)*, James Bond, Wyclef Jean, Shakira Shakira, Adriana Lima(!), Steve Jobs, LeBron James, and a number of heads of state. Sort of looks like a list of attendees at a Bilderberg Conference, or the executive summary from an NSA targets deck.

I wonder what you have to do to get on this sort of VIP list. Undoubtedly there were other celebrities and athletes there. Where’s the cutoff? I’m sure there are some who would rather lay-low and sit with the common folk, but there have to be many who’d prefer to rub elbows with some of the most powerful names in sports, entertainment and politics and Wyclef Jean. Lots of strange bedfellows here.

*Do we think Tom Brady has ever jokingly used the phrase “munchin’ on Bundchen” in bed? Had to have, right?
