As you can see, fashion designer Christian Mr. Fierce Siriano was also in the hiz for last night’s premiere … as was Olympic Gold Medalist hottie Ryan Lochte (has this guy gotten cuter in the past few months … cuz, damn!). These guys know good entertainment when they see it. I am having the hardest time deciding what to do today … I desperately want to see Obsessed but I also want to see Fighting and The Informers as well (Fighting has Channing Tatum in it, so, duh … and The Informers is based on a Bret Easton Ellis book and I just love his work). I fear I might have to pull a double feature and see 2 of the 3 movies today … and because David and I are flying out to Chicago tomorrow afternoon, I might have to see the third move in the Windy City. Ugh … so many great movies, so little time. All I know is I simply must watch Beyoncé whip some ass … I am so there. Are any of y’all planning a trip out to the movie theater this weekend? What are YOU planning to see?

Nothing’s more genuinely American than the beach-inspired style of Southern California. And this season, nothing’s more affordable. Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte throws on some threads (for a change).

Um, yes please! I am ALL for more Ryan Lochte appearing in magazines and various photospreads. I’m very pleased to know that he has signed on with PMK pr firm and will be appearing in underwear ads for Calvin Klein. Methinks that 2009 is going to be Ryan Lochte’s year. I can’t wait to see what’s in store … and how little he’ll be wearing to show off ;) Soooo … which do y’all prefer — these pics or Penn’s?

Oh yeah … he is a definite hottie. I’m sure he’ll sell a lot of CK undies. I would suggest mebbe doing something a bit different with the hair (I like the slicked back, combed look) but, then again, I’m not sure many folks will be paying much attention to his hair once those underwear ads come out. After the jump, check out a short (very cute) video interview with Ryan Lochte where he confirms the news about signing with PMK …

Michael Phelps has become the winningest Olympic athlete ever, earning his fourth gold medal of the Beijing Games with a world record in the 200-meter butterfly. The American touched in 1 minute, 52.03 seconds, breaking his old mark of 1:52.09 set at last year’s world championships in Australia. It was Phelps’ 10th career gold medal, breaking a tie with Mark Spitz, Carl Lewis and two others for most golds. He is 4-for-4 so far, setting world records in each of his events.

But that was just his first event of the night, next up came the Men’s 4×200 Freestyle Relay where Phelps and his teammates Ricky Berens, Ryan Lochte and Peter Vanderkaay won more Gold, set another World Record:

On the fifth day of swimming at the Beijing Games, Phelps collected his fourth and fifth gold medals, becoming the career leader in Olympic golds with 11. He broke his own world record in the 200-meter butterfly of 1 minute 52.03 seconds, trimming 0.06 off his 17-month-old mark even though his goggles filled with water when he dived into the water. Less than an hour later, Phelps led off the United States’ 4x-200 freestyle relay in 1:43.31, almost three seconds faster than his nearest competitor, to set the tone for the Americans’ rousing victory. The squad of Phelps, Ryan Lochte, Ricky Berens and Peter Vanderkaay clocked a 6:58.56 — the first sub-seven minute performance — to finish 5.14 seconds ahead of the runner-up, Russia, which was only 0.46 seconds off the listed world record. In a sport where races often are decided by hundredths of a second, Phelps, 23, has won three of his five golds here by a margin of 1.89 seconds or more. “There’s nobody in any sport that can win like he wins,” Reese said. “He’s not just winning, he’s crunching world records and crunching the fields. It’s amazing” … “I couldn’t see anything for the last 100,” said Phelps, who said he gauged where the walls were by counting his strokes. He could not tear his goggles off because he was wearing two caps and the strap was safely tucked between them. “It just kept getting worse and worse through the race,” he said.”I wanted to break the record. I wanted to go 1:51 or better, but for the circumstances I guess it’s not too bad.” Shaking his head at Phelps’s goggles mishap, Reese said: “Just think how fast that would have been. We were looking for an amazingly fast swim the way he had swum in the semifinals and the prelims. He would have been at least a second faster.” Physical exhaustion, mental stress, equipment malfunctions — all of it falls away when Phelps hits the water.

Holy Shizz! He can even win Gold Medals with his eyes shut! Oh yeah, I think at this point it is very safe to say that Michael Phelps is THE greatest Olympic Athlete of all time … arguably the greatest American athlete and by the end of these Olympic Games, possibly the greatest athlete of all time. It sounds like hyperbolic exaggeration but if you consider that the man just keeps winning Gold Medals and keeps doing so in World Record time … it’s not a tough case to make. Phelps has 3 more chances to win Gold Medals/set World Records … bring it on, I say, I have a feeling that Olympic History is going to continue to be made inside the Water Cube at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games.
