Just in case you've been living under a rock or haven't been watching television for the past two weeks, swimmer Michael Phelps won a record eight gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics -- bringing his total personal medal count to sixteen.


After Phelps makes his return to America, we imagine he'll be on every late night talk show host's couch and scoop up a ton of endorsement deals. We also bet the rumors about who the hunky athlete is dating will continue to become that much more random and odd.

Supposedly, the Baltimore native is either dating fellow swimmer Amanda Beard or supermodel Lily Donaldson. The latter he is rumored to have met on a photo shoot and they've been "dating" ever since. We're going to call BS on this because the only fashion photo shoot Michael has done recently was American Vogue and he posed next to Caroline Trentini, not Lily. He could be dating Amanda, but that seems a little suspect as well.

What do you think?
