At the FINA World Championships in Rome, swimmer Ricky Behrens's suit split at the last minute, and he was forced to compete with his tushy in full view. He came in fourth, which - in the end - actually helped push the American team into the finals, so you might say he covered America's ass with his very own. That's taking one for the team.
Michael Phelps handily won both of his events at the United States Swimming National Championships on Wednesday, despite his use of the devil's weed. I wonder if Subway is regretting hastily firing their former spokesperson.

The anti-Kellogg's movement continues to build momentum. Now it's time to attack founder John Harvey Kellogg for being a total lunatic who advocated some truly horrific “treatments” for excessive sexual excitement.
Celebrity Buzz Did Kellogg's take it one corporate step too far by dropping America's Dolphin Michael Phelps from their endorsement line-up? Some people think so, and given Kellogg's penchant for fueling our kids with their sugar-coated breakfast products, you've got to wonder who the true villain really is…

Michael Phelps has become the new poster boy for marijuana legalization. Certainly more interesting than being the poster boy for…trying hard, or having really long arms, or whatever he was before.

Phelpsie! You're not alone! And some of your fellow marijuana enthusiasts might surprise you. Dionne Warwick? Huh?
Culture Buzz Did you think that bong Michael Phelps was using looked a tad special? Apparently it's like the Mercedes Benz of bongs. Roor bongs are the thing to get if you're in the know, have the cash, and smoke a lot of weed. They tend to look like something you stole from the chemistry lab, which I guess is kind of the point.

An argument against a 23-year-old guy having to apologize for smoking pot. “Seeing him with his hat on backwards taking a hit made me feel like I could relate to the guy more.”
Is that Michael Phelps in South Carolina doing bong hits? New of the World sure thinks so.
America's favorite Olympian just lost a few endorsement deals. Said a witness: “He looked just as natural with a bong in his hands as he does swimming in the pool. He was the gold medal winner of bong hits.”

McSweeney's examines the natural disappointment of a father who discovers his son plays Oregon Trail like a total wuss. “How many spare wagon wheels do you think Michael Phelps takes with him?” Words to live by.

After eight years of war, torture, and lies, you know what we're going to miss most about the Bush administration? The annual Christmas video about Barney the Dog! This Olympic-themed final installment is especially cute, if only because Barney wears goggles! GO AMERICA!
Sports Buzz American Hero Michael Phelps has a serious girlfriend—a Vegas cocktail waitress known as “Caz.” They are so committed that Michael brought her home for Thanksgiving after only two months together, a development Debbie must have been thrilled about. Win 8 gold medals, date a stripper: an American dream we can all be thankful for. Update: Caroline would like you all to know that these photos are NOT topless. “They are just implied.”
Kobe, ARod, Tony Hawk and Michael Phelps rock out Risky Business-style in an ad for the new Guitar Hero. Kobe steals the show, per usual.

Sports Buzz Phelps got a big advance for an “inspirational memoir” to be published by Simon & Schuster. “Built to Succeed” is supposed to be out in time for the holidays. Will we still care about the Olympics by then?
Sports Buzz The Times UK has an article about all the hooking up that went on at the Olympics. Sex is apparently its own separate event at the Olympics.
