Next week, when the Olympics are over and NBC’s late night lineup returns, swimming fans will be greeted with a familiar face: that of Dara Torres.
She will be a guest on the Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno (again) on the night of August 25th. The following night, gymnast Nastia Liukin will be a guest.
The show airs weeknights at 11:35 PM (ET). Click here for the Tonight Show website.

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.

You didn’t? Well, shame on all of you!
Tara’s episode of TLC’s “What Not To Wear” premiered tonight and she was so cute. Love that smile of hers!
Anyway, I capped it, so I will be the wonderful savior that I usually am and post it in a day or so. Depends on my workload this weekend. I’m swamped yo!

Man, I’m all over the posts today. I think I’m really just psyched to have my fast and powerful computer back at my disposal.
In any case, y’all should tune in to The Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno tonight because Dara will be the second guest on the show. It isn’t every day that swimmers get a spot on the major talk shows, so I thought I’d share the news!
The Tonight Show airs weeknights at 11:35 PM (ET) on NBC. More info can be found on the show website.

Log out of Hotmail and you likely saw a link to this nice fluff segment on Chloe Sutton. Nice placing MSN, and great promotion for the sport!

This was sent to me by the show’s publicity team, so I feel it only right to share. US Swimming legend Janet Evans is participating. Why should you care? Well, it’s not every day we see one of our beloved gold medalists appearing weekly on network TV, now is it?
Celebrity Circus” is an exciting new series that immerses today’s top stars in the breathtaking world of the circus and cirque. Antonio Sabato Jr., Blu Cantrell, Christopher Knight, Janet Evans, Jason “Wee Man” Acuna, Rachel Hunter and Stacey Dash will attempt death-defying stunts in a head-to-head competition in front of a live studio audience. Each week viewers at home will cast their votes for the best acts and determine which of the celebrities is going home. Hosted by former *NSYNC member and Emmy Red Carpet host Joey Fatone, “Celebrity Circus” brings the incredible world of the Big Top into America’s living rooms, beginning with a special 90 minute premiere on Wednesday, June 11 at 9:30 P.M.

Snagged a story on yesterday’s CBS Evening News. More of the same, but still nice to see a swimmer get some primetime attention!
