Remember when Ian Thorpe was the hottest thing to happen to the pool since the Speedo?

Yesterday, the Thorpedo attended the Y-3 fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Pier 40 in New York City, and we have to admit, we can’t recall why we were so enamored with him once upon a time.

Take your shirt off, maybe that’ll jog our memory.

Is this the fate that awaits Michael Phelps after he retires?

There will never be another Michael Phelps, but in Australia they have mad love for Olympic Swimmer Eamon Sullivan.

Remember Ian Thorpe? He used to be lightning fast and super sexy; everyone called him The Thorpedo. Then he showed up at this year’s Olympics talking smack about our boy Phelps, looking all bloated and puffy, sporting shirts three sizes too tight and a hair line that was shrinking like the polar ice caps. Ew.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
