Tony Kornheiser, host of ESPN’s popular show “PTI” (Pardon the Interruption) dressed up as Sir Phelps for today’s show. I about died laughing. The t-shirt he’s wearing has nipples printed on it! You can’t see it from the following TV cap, but just know that it was there. Definitely a good laugh!

I wonder how many other peeps are going to be Mike for Halloween and/or trick-or-treat this year…

MP was also interviewed on “The View”. Watch it here.

They say it’s a “nude” ad, but after seeing her Playboy spread, this doesn’t qualify as “nude” to me. Amanda covers her chest with her hands/arms and is turned sideways so as not to reveal her girly parts. Or as the hilarious Cheslea Handler calls it, her “peekachu”.

I think it’s well done. Amanda rarely disappoints in the photoshoot department. It’s the red carpet appearances that tend to leave us scratching our heads.

Regardless, we still love us some Amanda and probably always will; especially after meeting her at Trials where she was incredibly sweet.

So, behold Amanda’s PETA anti-fur ad.

By the time I get to the end of an issue of ESPN Magazine, I’m not really paying attention. I almost had to do a double take to catch this hilarious photoshop job from the July 28, 2008 issue (Ryan Sheckler on the cover)!

I don’t even remember how and why I subscribe to VIBE Magazine. I think it had something to do with my father’s airline miles. The best part of the mag, in my opinion, is the last page where they do their “20 Questions” feature.

Anyway, imagine my surprise when I was flipping through the June issue — with Mrs. Nick Cannon on the cover — and saw Cullen Jones. This was a very pleasnt surprise!

I sometimes forget that this is an Olympic year and I should expect to see more swimmers turn up in magazines. After seeing them get ignored most of the time, I’m not sure this will ever be something I get used to seeing. That won’t detract from the act of turning a page and grinning at the sight of a swimmer, though!

And because sharing is caring, I’ve scanned the 2 pages for y’all. You caught me in a good mood!

ETA: Visit Cullen’s official site, which I designed, at cullenjones.com.

Yea, I’m a little slow with this. Just trying to decide where I wanted to post this (on amanda-beard.com or here), and Swim Aids won!

Last Wednesday the MAXIM “Hot 100″ 2008 party was held at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. (See the full list)

Anyway, check out a few pics of Amanda on the red carpet:

And I’m not talking about the “white boy fro”.

We have yet to see the Lochtenator rock his grill during a domestic meet. Every time we meet up with him we ask him if he brought his grill. His reply is always “of course!” Yet when the awards ceremonies roll around, he never has them in! So our mission for Santa Clara is to capture the Lochte grill for ourselves!

Stay tuned!

BTW, based on his performance across the pond, we owe Ryan 4 more cases of Heineken. We’re glad to pay up. Really.

Already posted the Phelps scans on MGoSwim, and have been sitting on these for a few days. My bad.

Because of all the attention I’ve been giving Miss Ziegler these days, I was reminded that these needed to be shared ASAP. I’m working on her official website, so any excuse to give her some shine I’ll take!

My only gripe is that this may quite possibly be the most unflattering picture of her ever. This is the best Annie Leibovitz could do? Really? I find that hard to believe. I loved what she did with the gymnasts. No love for Kate?

Anyway, check ‘em out!
