Beckham Helps Close One Olympics and Kick Off London 2012

Molly — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 07:45:00 -0700

David Beckham made the trek to Beijing to participate in last night's closing ceremony, where the honor of the Summer Olympics was handed off to London for the 2012 games. His appearance was brief - he basically just kicked the ball while Leona Lewis sang with Jimmy Page - but he also found time to play spectator a bit while he was in town. While the Beijing games were likely the most watched Olympics in history, there are some people who are probably relieved they're over. I loved all of it, especially all the swimming, this weekend's Redeem Team win, all the gymnastics, and more - what was your favorite moment of the 2008 Olympics?

Michael Phelps Fever Pitch and Celebrity Crush!

PopSugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 11:30:12 -0700

Michael Phelps may be getting a much-deserved break after making history at the Summer Olympics, but you can rest assured that his huge grin and hot body aren't going anywhere anytime soon. He's been jonesing for a Big Mac since his final swim, and yesterday Michael spent some of his 10,000 calorie diet on lunch at McDonald's with some of his pint-sized fans. Today it was back to showing off that beach bod with his fellow swimmers in Beijing, and he looked pretty happy to take a break from all of those skintight suits and rock the board shorts for a change. Of course, part of the fun of celebrating comes with doing press - tomorrow you can pick up his latest cover for Sports Illustrated, but you'll have to wait until September to get your very own box of Michael Phelps Frosted Flakes (no Wheaties for this guy).

With the massive amount of media attention he's been getting, it's no big surprise that the women of the world are wondering about the relationship status of Mr. Phelps. He's already shot down rumors that he's dating fellow US Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard, but he hasn't commented on the news that he may be involved with British model Lily Donaldson or revealed that he's dating anyone else, saying, "Part of my life is kept to myself. I'm able to relax and be with my friends. Those pretty much are the only people who really know the answer to that question." While his "Mom of the Games" will always be number one, there is one other lady he did open up about - his celebrity crush is Cameron Diaz.

Joined by his teammates Jason Lezak, Brendan Hansen, and Aaron Peirsol, the USA claimed gold in the 4x100 medley relay, setting a world record as they did it. The headline of course belongs to Michael Phelps and his eight gold medals, surpassing the record set by Mark Spitz at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Mr. Phelps could probably use a little relaxation after this amazing week that has been so much fun to watch.

PopSugar — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 04:02:00 -0700

The Summer Olympics are officially underway, and one of our new favorite athletes, Michael Phelps, has already gotten things off to a fabulous start. The swimmer not only scored the gold medal in his first two events, but he also broke his own world record in the 400m IM on Sunday before helping team USA take first place in the nail-biting relay this morning. Most of you agree that he's not bad to look at, but we're thrilled to see that he's doing an awesome job of representing the USA, too.
