Phelps: US Gold Mine

0815phelps.jpg

Forget the '49ers -- swimmer Michael Phelps has caused a new gold frenzy! The fish-like hunk nabbed his sixth gold medal at the Beijing games yesterday, making his total lifetime collection an even dozen medals -- making him the most decorated Olympian in history.

Phelps recently dished to "Extra" about where he keeps his precious medals stashed, saying, "I keep them in a safe." The 22-year-old hunk, who wears a size 14 shoe, may have caught the eye of country cutie Carrie Underwood, who admitted to having a crush on him -- but Michael is rumored to be taken by California beauty queen Nicole Johnson.

The Maryland native continues his medal quest in two more events in China -- and if his winning streak continues, Phelps will cause a serious tidal wave and capsize the record for most medals won at an Olympic games -- a title currently held by swimmer Mark Spitz, who won seven medals in 1972. Spitz, now 58, claims he was not invited to the games.

How many times can you say “hunk” in one article?

This guy is a good swimmer, but sexy hunk? Please. The best actors to play him in a movie are Mclovin or Screech.

Extra - did you not watch any of the coverage? Didn’t you see the interview with Mark Spitz on Today? Those reports of Mark not being invited to the Olympics were bogus! He has met with Michael and is cheering him on. He was not able to make it to the Olympics due to work commitments for one of the Olympic corporate sponsors. Please get all of the facts before you spread inaccuracies
