All That Glamour And Gossip

By now, I’m sure we’re started to get slightly sick of hearing about Michael Phelps. I’m getting slightly sick of writing about him, but when starlets get involved, I have to step in. Hollywood’s been a-knocking ever since the swim giant won a record 14 career Olympic gold medals.

He nabbed a $1.7 mil book deal, shot a cameo for Entourage yesterday, will host SNL, will present at the VMAs next week, will appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show season premiere along with other Olympians, blah blah blah…

But we really want to know about are the ladies in his life (and not his mom and sisters). Obviously, Michael can snag almost any lady now (except for swimmer Amanda Beard who thinks he’s “ew”) so it only makes sense the ladies of Hollywood would chase after him. 

The forerunner? Why, Lindsay Lohan of course. Samantha who?

London’s Daily Mirror tabloid claims that the party girl has been text stalking the athlete, “begging for a date.” Apparently Michael is smart enough to ignore her texts and even finds humor in the whole situation. He should be forewarned that he will run into LiLo next week at the VMAs.

However, Phelps is responding to Carrie Underwood’s texts. According to The National Enquirer - so please take with a grain of salt - the two will go on a non-eating date. Huh? Doesn’t Michael consume like a trillion calories a day?

Anyways, enough with the Aquaman! Where’s Aaron Peirsol?

Good girl Carrie Underwood revealed to Allure magazine that ex-boyfriend Tony Romo still dials her digits. Um, Carrie? You might not want Jessica Simpson hearing that.

“I don’t know,” she admitted. “The phone will ring and it’ll be him, and I’ll maybe not answer.”

At least the “Before He Cheats” singer knows not to mess with a man that’s taken (by a fellow blonde country star, no less). Carrie also lets on in the September issue about what caused - or did not cause - the breakup with pretty gossip boy Chace Crawford.

“We didn’t have a fight. No one cheated,” she says. “It plain didn’t work.”

PS - Doesn’t Carrie look like a cross between Hilary Duff and Madonna/Jennifer Lopez on the cover?
