Celebs Ready To Descend On Vancouver For The 2010 Olympics

February 12, 2010 at 1:40 PM | by | Comments (0)

Olympic fever is sweeping Vancouver but so far, there haven't been too many celebrity sightings. A few celebs have managed to get their hands on that elusive torch including Matt Lauer, Arnold Schwarzenegger and native Canadian, Michael Buble, who was moved by the experience. “The last six or seven, eight years as I’ve gone around the world, the first thing I’ve always said is I was Canadian,” Buble said. “It’s emotional, I’m shaking. I mean, I’ve got goosebumps and I’m a guy who doesn’t get nervous for a lot of things. I don’t get overexcited by too much but it’s going to be hard to sleep tonight.”

In addition to torch bearers, Omega watches is set to host several of their celebrity "ambassadors" during the games at the Omega boutique at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. Cindy Crawford will appear at an event on Feb. 14 at the Omega boutique, Superstar swimmer Michael Phelps will appear at the same location on Feb. 18, and Buzz Aldrin will be there on Feb. 21.

Hayden Christensen, Stephen Colbert, and Sean "Diddy" Combs are also expected in town over the next two weeks but, the biggest celeb buzz is still yet to be confirmed. The Province is reporting, "An Omega representative said one or two more celebrity ambassadors might come to Vancouver during the Games but those arrangements have not been completed." Now, rumors are rampant across the city that George Clooney, one of Omega's most prominence ambassadors, is on his way. Unfortunately, there is no real evidence that Clooney is going to visit the games, especially considering Omega has several other high profile ambassadors like Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig.
