Michael Phelps may be the golden boy of the Olympics, winning a record 8 gold medals and attracting the ladies like flies on poop, but not ALL the ladies. (And, I admit he is no Brad Pitt, but the guy won 8 gold medals. That is attractive in itself! Oh, and the Speedo looks pretty nice too, I might add.)
Amanda Beard, a fellow American swimmer, has been linked to Michael Phelps and girlfriend was quick to deny AND stick her foot in her mouth times ten. Talk about making oneself look like a total beotch!
According to MSNBC, rumors of romance between the athletes began to circulate earlier this week, and while the record-breaker simply denied them, Amanda took to the airwaves on the “Johnjay and Rich in the Morning†radio show and made it clear that she found idea of dating the golden boy repulsive.
When asked if she ever kissed Michael, Amanda answered, “Ew, no!†Held hands? “Ew, no! Not even that.†Even the mere suggestion that Michael might be attracted to her inspired an “ew-that’s-so-nasty†response.
Beard goes on to add that she doesn’t find Michael attractive and that she goes for “different looking” guys, saying that “I have really good taste.”
Ok. Apparently someone is a tad vain and a bit of a snob. A simple “no” would have been enough. Do I sense a bit of jealousy in Ms. Beard’s tone?
Hey Amanda, Phelps won EIGHT gold medals. Count ‘em…EIGHT! Boo YAH!
