Guess who's bringing the heat to Saint-Denis? It's none other than American rapper Snoop Dogg who will be one of the torchbearers for the Olympic flame. The flame will make its way through the Stade de France, the Olympic village, and the aquatics center. According to Le Parisien, discussions were held for actor Bradley Cooper to also participate as a torchbearer, but he declined. Other anticipated personalities include Ukrainian pole vaulter Serguei Bubka and rapper MC Solaar.
