The official Royal Guest List has been released and people are going bloody bonkers. Have you been following the Royal Wedding? Do you feel like you’re stuck in a Westminster whirlwind of flowers, cakes, and dress obsessions? Relax! It’s time to schedule a soothing spa treatment. Take a spa cue from your favourite celebrity guests. Check out the list below to prep for the big day like a star!

Posh and Becks

David and Victoria Beckham have told friends they are ‘delighted’ to be invited. I cannot wait to see what Victoria wears. I hope it involves some sort of feathered headgear and a flash of baby bump.

Get Posh’s Glow: Airbrush Tan at Bronze Bombshell in Dallas, TX

Score Beck’s Shave: Straight Razor Shave with Hot Towels at The Shave of Beverly Hills in Beverly Hills, CA

Thorpedo

Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe will be in attendance. Prince William met the Olympic swimmer in Australia in 2010. The Prince has since supported his charity, Ian Thorpe’s Fountain for Youth, which focuses on improving health and education for children.

Elton John and David Furnish

Sir Elton’s attendance to the royal event has been solidified even before the Concert for Diana and “Candle in the Wind.” With the addition of their first baby, we recommend some Daddy time at the spa before the nuptials.

Prep for Spec-tacular Eyewear like Elton: Electro-Stim Eye Lift at Perricone MD Flagship Facial Salon, New York, NY

Boyfriend Botox: 10 units of our favorite injectable at Skin Suite Rx in Chino, CA

Guy Ritchie

The director’s attendance to The Event has been confirmed. My bet — he’ll blow off some steam before the ceremony with some calorie-burning relaxation. He was married to rock-hard Madge for all those years. Google “Guy Ritchie, Shirtless.” You’ll be impressed.

Joss Stone

What’s the sultry Brit’s connection to The Crown? She performed at a memorial concert held at London’s Wembley Stadium on July 1, 2007, in honor of what would have been the late Princess Diana’s 46th birthday.

Mr. Bean

AKA Rowan Atkinson is a “personal friend’ of the couple (according to the UK’s Telegraph). I know we are all thinking the same two words: Tarantula. Brows. He will be seeing The Queen, not to mention The Queen will see him. Royal Intervention, STAT!

Operation Uni-brow Elimination: Eyebrow Threading at Serenity Spa NY in New York, NY

Kanye West

Rumored guest/possible party crasher. According to the Daily Telegraph, Kanye is one of Prince William’s “favourite musicians.” Cranky Kanye needs a spa day so he won’t steal the spotlight, VMA style.

It was a pretty wild day for team USA at the Olympics yesterday, as two hotshot US athletes made good (or should we say gold?) on their hype. Shaun White outpaced the competition in the half pipe by whipping out his signature double twist trick on the second run. And Lindsay Vonn won gold in women’s downhill, despite near-disastrous conditions on the mountain that prevented the athletes from practicing on the actual runs they’d be competing on (remember when we said they were going to have to chopper in snow? Well, yeah.)

Unsurprisingly, American speed skaters Shani Davis and Apolo Anton Ohno skated easily (ho ho) to the next stage in their heats. And round robins continue for curling and hockey, so stay tuned for some powerhouse match-ups. Canadian pride is on the line when it comes to hockey, so Canada’s matches with Russia and the US promise to be explosive.

If you’re not watching the games…don’t miss out!

The 2010 Vancouver Winter Games begin tonight! Whether you like sports or not, I think everyone can get behind the idea of opening ceremonies–there are costumes for the fashionistas, choreography for the dance fans, and great design for creative, artsy types. And if you’re not into any of that, there’s usually some pretty cool gymnastics and fireworks.

Host cities usually pour millions of dollars into designing an opening ceremony that reflects their nation’s history and culture. In anticipation of the Vancouver opening ceremonies (what will those Canadians come up with??) we wanted to look at some of the opening ceremonies of the past.

The parade of nations in Athens brought the centuries-old Games full circle back to the land where they originated.

Beijing had one of the more exciting–and expensive–opening ceremonies in recent memory.

Atlanta went with a “Traditions of the South”, which many found controversial.

The uber-theatrical Salt Lake City opener:

And just for a throwback, here are the Helsinki Games from 1952:
