- Uh oh! Super Olympian Michael Phelps has been caught on film smoking a bong. Phelps, 23, was reportedly visiting a University of South Carolina sorority girl and apparently “ended up just getting wasted every night.”[Star]
- Phelps was “loud and obnoxious and slamming beers from the get-go. He was definitely the life of the party as every girl wanted a piece of him and every guy wanted to be his best buddy. He was eating it up, says a source, “If he was there to visit his girlfriend, there certainly was no sign of it that night. All the celebrity attention is making him really cocky, and he’s going to end up getting burned because of it.” What’s this? A 23-year-old world famous millionaire athlete doing drugs and acting like an ass? I am shocked, I tell you! Shocked![Star]
- A source also claims that Phelps seemed like he’d had plenty of practice: “You could tell Michael had smoked before. He grabbed the bong and a lighter and knew exactly what to do. He looked just as natural with a bong in his hands as he does swimming in the pool. He was the gold medal winner of bong hits. Michael ended up getting a little paranoid, though, because before too long he looked like he was nervous and ran out of the place.” [News Of The World]

Next week, she’ll rock some outfit that will blow everyone away.”[People]

- Worried about the American AbFab adaptation? Kristen Johnston, who is set to play Patsy, swears the script is good: “I think they captured the exact amount of sweetie-darling,” Johnston says. “I mean, it’s a totally different element, it’s a totally different show. We don’t smoke, we are hungover all the time, we chew Nicorette, we’re trying to be more PC, but I think it really works. It’s one of those scripts that’s like my favorite kind because on paper you’re like, Oh, this is funny, but when you read it out loud with two actresses, it’s, like, the funniest s—- ever.” Ugh. I bet they don’t even wear Lacroix, either. Lame. [EW]

What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt… have a look at everything I’ve got’? My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder.”[ShowbizSpy]

I guess I’ll just go sit on the corner of my bed, and smoke with the ghosts in the back of my head. Ok, I’m really done now. [People]
