Please bear with us while we break for the crazy.
A few days ago I learned that Michael Phelps was enjoying his post Olympics, err, R&R at a resort in Portugal (Hilton Vilamoura at Cascatas Resort & Spa). I noted it, noted that it said he was with his friends, but not which friends, which then lead to this exchange yesterday:
alethialia: Hey, Michael's in Portugal! Did you know this?
hackthis: Uh, yeah. Did I ( Read more... )

I would! Except, you know, I have no information. But I can always egg you on. Really, I'm appalled people haven't been feeding you these things just as a matter of course. Unless said resort has, like, White House-level security, for MP Must Be Protected, and then I understand...and am amused on an entirely different level.
Maybe if he wanders around in his LZR nobody will care.
This seems to work for those ESPN commercials. I...still do not get those. But I keep seeing them while at the gym and really can't be bothered with the non-understanding. I could worry about it...or not.
Maybe this will be where Shia kidnaps him for Ari
Oh. My. God. That is too awesome to contemplate.
Actually, off the top of your head, do you know who his agent is? Is he repped solely by a sports agent or is he being courted now by the Hollywood full-service ones?

It wouldn't surprise me. Plus, you know, Portugal. They're not giving a toss about MP, he's just another (probably) obnoxious American. Actually, if he was there with his 'boyz', then you just know he was most definitely an obnoxious American. You know the more boys you put together the stupider they act. That's another boy rule right there.

I sent sparky77 an email last night that basically said, "I am watching trash TV on BBCA, why is MP shilling for a Rosetta Stone? Why is it maybe the worst commercial evar? THERE IS NO CHINESE LANGUAGE, PEOPLE! FOR THE LOVE OF BUDDHA! IT'S DIALECTS! The main ones being Cantonese or Mandarin. GET IT RIGHT ( ... )

Indeed. Funny how so many boy rules involve the word 'stupid' and its variations.
why is MP shilling for a Rosetta Stone?
...you're kidding. Seriously? He did a commercial for Rosetta Stone? Wow. WOW. He's workin' hard for that $5 million a year.
I really really feel like its Endeavor.
Oh, wow, so he is with one of the bigger ones. If it's a full-service agency (a la the big 4) they probably do have dedicated sports agents...but that doesn't mean said sports agents are any good. And, um, if he's shilling for Rosetta Stone I'd be a little hesitant about his public appearances agent, too.
If E does represent MP though and CAA steals him away, somebody will totally blow up the Death Star and then there will be babies everywhere.
AHAHA!

See for yourself.

iseult_variante and I have a theory like this... but ours is that everyone in the world ever is having sex with Ian Thorpe. And that it cures all ills. :)
The musical guest on SNL the night Michael hosts will be none other than his most favoritest rapper ever -- Lil' Wayne.
DUDE.

It's going to be one of the greatest, most embarassing fan moments ever. I'm kind of cringing, but mostly I just want to be a fly on that wall
Ryan: Look. It's him.
Michael: Him who.
Ryan: Him, dude! Him!
Michael: Dude, who?!
Ryan: [whispers] Lil' Wayne
Michael: I am so not falling for that again.
Ryan: I'm serious
Michael: I call bullshit.
Ryan: No, seriously. Dude. Like. Oh my god, he's behind you
Michael: I'm going to punch you in public. In the mouth.
Ryan: Duuuuuuuude.
Lil' Wayne: 'sup, man. I heard you were a fan
[Michael turns around and faints]
Lil' Wayne: I thought your man was hard.
Ryan: Yeah, dude, I dunno.

It really is kind of perfect because then there will be a week for things to get fixed before SNL.
Oh... and would happen is that Shia and Michael would just be talking and then Michael would stumble, fall, and hit his head on Shia's car. Shia would panic, stuff Michael in the car (though I have no clue how Shia would pick him up) and run for it. And thus, an international incident would be born.
Reply
Yeah, that plan is perfect except Michael's 6'4 and 200lb and Shia's like 2'5 and three pounds. Maybe four. Dude, I could take out Shia on a bad day.
Reply
Hmmm... Maybe Shia can just go with the classic luring of Michael into the car with a "Hey little boy, want some candy?"
Reply
Or, knowing Shia, "Hey man, get in my car and I'll take you to the Transformers 2 set and let you see Megan Fox getting changed." And Michael would go b/c Megan Fox is vapid and the size of a twig, but he's a boy.
