Gold Medal Mel Dishes on Phelps in Vegas + Hilarious Vids

Sep 12, 2008 18:28

I saw Michael that night at the Palms Hotel. Michael gave me a hug and said, “Come on, let’s hang out a while.” Michael (unlike many Olympic super-stars who will remain unnamed) is unbelievable humble and gracious, especially to fellow athletes. Watching Michael that night, I couldn’t fathom how he was handling all the attention...and pressure! An ( Read more... )

I love GMM, but when I saw the video from 1992, I was shocked. He was hot and hilariously arrogant. I think it might have been just a persona he put on for entertainment, similar to how he's a completely dorky fanboy in his new vids.

the Personal Shavers video was the best!

I love GMM, therefore he must be right. MP is the patron saint of swimming!

Aww, I kinda love that he was so angry he couldn't work. LOL. Kinda like how I was so jealous, I couldn't work.

Anyway, I'm sure MP's a nice guy, with random moments of arrogance of douchebagginess thrown in sometimes. Most males are like that. No one can expect him to be a saint, BECAUSE WHAT 23 YEAR OLD IS?

I love how MP can't stop laughing in that vid. ♥

Yep someone missed the 'must trash Phelps' memo that went out to everyone else.

Fanboy.

Gold Medal Mel actually has admitted that he has a "man-crush" and "Bromance love" for Phelps.

And he's got the Lochte Love going on.

No wonder he missed the hate Phelps memo.

Gold Medal Mel is just full of love. Well, except for Spitz.

It's nice to hear that, unlike some journalists, someone thinks Michael is a good guy.

IKR? And his outfit, glasses, and some of his comments reminded me of Patrick Bateman.

You know, I used to think that the way he acted during his interviews was really a sort of "persona" he put on for his entertainment career. But now that I've seen these videos of him before, I'm almost inclined to believe that he's like this 24/7. Which I bet is endlessly amusing! And I think that sometimes he did border on "arrogant" but I'm happy that he's sort of mellowed out with age.
