Michael Phelps Brings Home Another Prize

Introduces his Vegas cocktail waitress girlfriend to the fam
Saturday, November 29th, 2008

Yesterday I posted a newslink reporting that Olympic Gold-Medalist Michael Phelps had brought home his new girlfriend to meet his family on Thanksgiving Day. At first, I thought it was a very sweet story … until I learned from TMZ that Phelpsie’s new chick, Caroline Caz Pal, is a cocktail waitress from Las Vegas, NV who has a penchant for posing for topless photos. HMMMM. Here is a very cute photo of the lurvers:


Michael Phelps has taken another lap with his girlfriend – a big one. She’s spending Thanksgiving in Baltimore with him and his family. The Olympic champ has been dating Las Vegas cocktail waitress Caroline “Caz” Pal, 26, for about two months. The two met after his record-setting performance in Beijing last summer. “She’s there [in Maryland] meeting his family for the first time,” a source close to Pal tells PEOPLE. Along with dating Pal, a waitress at the Palms Casino Resort’s Moon Nightclub, Phelps is spending time in Vegas working on his poker game. Sources tell PEOPLE he’s hoping to participate in the 2009 World Series of Poker. He recently made it to the final table of the Caesars Palace Poker Classic. “It was fun!” he told PEOPLE after the tournament. “It’s just like a game that I could become better at and use some of my competitiveness at the poker table.”

LOL … the poor guy has to spend his time learning to play poker in Vegas while his girlfriend is bizzy earning tips at the Moon nightclub … not exactly a romance made in heaven but … I guess it works. In fine TMZ fashion, HERE is a gallery of photos of Caz doing her thing at various places around Sin City, sometimes with clothing and sometimes without, to give you a better understanding of who, exactly, has stolen Phelpsie’s heart. I wonder what his mother has to say. Better yet … I wonder what y’all have to say :)

Les Beckhams Continue Their Onslaught Of NYC

Day 3
Saturday, November 29th, 2008

Les Beckhams — hubby/daddy David & wifey/mother Victoria and sons Brooklyn, Romeo & Cruz — continued to enjoy all the things that NYC has to offer this week as the family ventured out into the city on Day 3 of their Thanksgiving Vacay to the Big Apple. Yesterday, the family did a bit of shopping together (making a special trip to a candy shop) before making their way last night to do a bit of bowling together. Vicki B. managed to spend part of her day with her family but had to leave them midway thru the day to do some investigating (which is why she was wearing her shockingly white private investigator’s ensemble):


Yeah, I don’t really get VB’s getup but the woman does take bold fashion risks with the way she dresses. It’s unclear just how much longer the family is planning to stay in the city (it is also unclear what attractions are left for them to visit) but I must admit that I do like the idea of the Beckham Bunch just aimlessly wandering the streets of New York City. Incidentally, TomKat was along with the Beckhams for many of yesterday’s activities but I’m kinda done looking at them. I don’t think anyone out there will mind that they’ve been omitted, right? ;)

Britney Spears Thrills The Audience In France On ‘Star Academy’

C'est bon!
Saturday, November 29th, 2008

Britney Spears was the featured performer on the French competitive reality TV program Star Academy last night and she managed to bring the house down! Performing her single Womanizer in front of a packed house of rabid French fans, Britney performed the second of three live appearances that she has scheduled in Europe this week (the first was in Germany on Thursday night, the last will be in the UK tonight). Here are a few screencaps from her live performance last night:


Britney Spears wowed French fans on TV on Friday when she performed her new hit Womanizer on talent show Star Academy. A night after making her first major comeback performance since the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards – at the 2008 Bambi Awards in Germany – Spears was in Paris for her TV turn. Wearing a flashy red corset dress, she sent fans wild with a lip-synced performance. Spears will complete her whistle-stop tour on Saturday night when she performs on TV talent show The X Factor.

Two down, one more to go. Last night’s performance in France was very much like the one she gave in Germany except for the obvs costume change and amped up energy level. The more stoic crowd in Germany make Brit’s performance feel more stunted … last night’s raucous crowd gave her the electricity she needed to turn in a more vibrant performance. I suspect that tonight’s performance on X-Factor will feature the same Womanizer routine, possibly with yet another costume change. After the jump, check out video of Britney’s performance on Star Academy last night …
