Olympics

If you've been watching the Olympics so far this weekend (it's hard to avoid), you know that the hot sauce on the US team is Apolo Ohno. You may remember the speed skater as the winner of Dancing with the Stars a few seasons ago, but he just picked up another silver medal for his mantel. (But the DWTS trophy is obviously a little better!)

Amanda Beard has a lot of reasons to celebrate.

The seven-time Olympic medal winning swimmer is nearly 5½-months pregnant with her first baby and was married on May 1st. 

“It was absolutely perfect,” Beard, 27, says of her wedding to photographer Sacha Brown, 34, on Wakatobi, an archipelago in the Banda Sea off southeastern Indonesia in a small village where almost no one spoke English.

A man accused of stalking Olympic champion and bitchin’ ballroom dancer Shawn Johnson was arrested Monday near the Los Angeles set of Dancing with the Stars.

Police later found two loaded guns in the man's car.

Robert O’Ryan, 34, allegedly jumped a fence at CBS Studios, where the show was filming, but was caught by security.

Our boy Mikey Phelps is used to being in water, just not hot water.

And the flack he’s getting, following the photo of him taking a bong hit, is pushing him to question his commitment to the 2012 Olympics.

We’re sure NBC is crapping their pants at the thought of their golden boy being MIA which would mean a substantial drop in viewers and, therefore, advertising dollars.

A gold medal wasn’t the only thing Kerri Walsh brought home from Beijing.

The two-time Olympic gold medalist and her husband Casey Jennings are expecting their first child.

The beach volleyball superstar announced her pregnancy during an exclusive interview with Billy Bush.

"I'm chubby and I'm pregnant and it's awesome!" Kerri said on Wednesday morning.

"How pregnant are you?" Billy asked.

"About 16-and-a-half weeks," she revealed.

As long as it’s not our man Mikey Phelps, we’re okay with it.

Nastia Liukin, 18, is rumored to be dating WAY above her pay grade. At the Max Azria Spring 2009 show at The Tent in Bryant Park on Tuesday, the gold medal Olympic gymnast was spotted with super smokeshow swimmer Ryan Lochte, 24. Dayum! We’d take his fine ass over a gold medal any day of the week.

We’ve been so distracted by our love of Mikey Phelps, we’ve ignored many of the other Olympic lustables. An unforgivable oversight we will begin to rectify immediately.

We offer this as our sincere apology: Peter Hudnut.

Bad name, good face. And, even covered up in a t-shirt and warm up pants, you can see there lurks the body of a Greek God underneath.

Petey is a member of the USA men’s water polo team who was snapped arriving at LAX after winning a silver medal at the Beijing Olympics.

Go USA! Hudnut is Hot.

Whatever Oprah wants, Oprah gets.

The Queen of Talk wanted to do a show with all 36 Olympic athletes who won gold in Beijing. But it’s Oprah…so now it's going to be a gathering of HUNDREDS of American Olympic athletes.

The show is scheduled to tape on September 3rd in Chicago’s Millennium Park.

We have a hot date on Saturday, September 13th!

Our boyfriend, Olympic superstar Michael Phelps, is set to host the season premiere of Saturday Night Live, kicking off the show’s 34th year. Lil Wayne, whose song “It’s Me,” was Mikey’s anthem as he prepared for each race in Beijing, will be the musical guest.

We would sell our mother to be able to go to the taping and, even better, the legendary SNL after party! Seriously, who wants a kidney? We’ll trade.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
