Michael Phelps' Boom Boom Pow Car Accident

Michael Phelps was driving an SUV that collided with another vehicle, seriously damaging Phelps' vehicle, the other car and a parked vehicle, police said. Phelps was not injured.

The female driver of a Honda Accord was "shaken up" and taken to a local hospital as a precaution, police said. Two passengers in Phelps' Cadillac Escalade were not injured, said police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.

Guglielmi says Phelps has been interviewed by police and alcohol was not a factor. No citations were issued and the accident was being investigated, with a report perhaps available Friday, Guglielmi said.

Phelps has had brushes with the law in the past. USA Swimming suspended him earlier this year for three months after a British tabloid published a photo of him using a marijuana pipe.

Watch the road Michael! And slow down.

Michael Phelps & Ryan Lochte Embrace The Return Of The Speedo

A multitude of world records were broken on the first day of the world swimming championships, sparking discussion by international swimming governing body, FINA, that new regulations will eliminate performance-enhancing swimsuits.

What exactly does this mean? Well, a possible return to the teeny, tiny Speedo suits. And Olympians Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte think that's a great idea.

Phelps told reporters at a news conference, "Swimming will actually become swimming again. We're all going to have the same exact suit." In addition, Lochte tells Reuters, "I wish it went back to the old school, like banana hammocks. Jammers, I mean, I'm cool with that."

I think we're ALL cool with that.

Hollywood Stars Honor Athletes At ESPYS: Merman Smooches Demi

Sneaking in a kiss to Demi Moore, multiple ESPY award winner, Michael Phelps (who led the men on the red carpet) took advantage of the 17th Annual ESPY Awards to swoop in and plant a wet one on the wife of infamous prankster, Ashton Kutcher.

Hollywood's most familiar faces showed up at the event, stumbling briefly during a teleprompter mix-up. Luckily, however, all eyes were on the winners, who included Phelps, winner of best male athlete and four other awards.

Best team trophy went to triumphant NBA team, the Los Angeles Lakers, who received the award from musical legend Stevie Wonder. Tennis superstar sisters, Venus and Serena Williams, (who joined a bevvy of beautiful ladies on the red carpet for the event) presented the Arthur Ashe Award to Nelson Mandela. In his stead, his daughter Zindzi and grandson Zondwa accepted the silver trophy.

Host Samuel L. Jackson joked that Phelps responded with a Tweet that said, "Can't believe I lost the Arthur Ashe Award to Nelson Mandela. I can swim circles around that guy."

Michael Pheleps And His Pornstache Are A Winning Combo

Swimmer Michael Phelps still has it. Michael Phelps has held off a late charge by his rivals to win the 400-meter freestyle at the Santa Clara International Grand Prix.

Phelps cruised to an early lead in Saturday night's final, but he had to dig in over the final 100 meters to win in 3 minutes, 48.40 seconds under sunny, windy conditions at the outdoor pool.

He may want to think of getting rid of that ugly furry thing on top of his lip, I'm thinking it may have slowed him down.

Phelps has rarely swum the event over the years, and he didn't advance to the 400 free final at the 2005 world championships in Montreal, a failure that still bothers him.

Michael Phleps Is Not Dating Miss California, Carrie Prejean

Poor Miss California. Carrie Prejean has not only become ridiculed for her stance on gay marriage, she also isn't apparently dating who she thought she was dating. According to Carrie's grandmother, Prejean was definitely dating Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps.

Apparently that's not the case. Phelps told Usmagazine.com, "I'm not dating anybody," at the opening of the Omega flagship boutique in NYC. "I'm single. My private life stays private."

Prejean, 21, was coy earlier this week when asked about rumors they're an item. "He is a great man. Wouldn't you like to know?" she said on The Billy Bush Show Monday.

As for Phelps' thoughts on Prejean's gay marriage stance scandal, "I'm not saying I support her," Phelps then added. "I'm not saying I don't support her." Way to be straightforward Phelps!

Miss California Carrie Prejean Dating Michael Phelps

After receiving international attention for her stance against same sex marriage, Miss California Carrie Prejean is making headlines again. Her grandmother, Jeanette Coppolla, confirmed that the Miss USA runner-up is currently dating Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps.

Jeanette revealed, "Carrie and Michael have been out to baseball games and lunch. He always calls her when he is in town and they go out."

Interesting. I wonder if Carrie's interpretation of the Bible is as strict when it comes to pre-marital sex. But in her defense, I don't think Perez Hilton should be allowed to get married either. Or Heidi Montag.

Muhammed Ali Fights For Charity

Boxing legend Muhammed Ali has raised over $52 million through the efforts of his Celebrity Fight Night event for various charities. And with performances from Reba McEntyre, Jon Bon Jovi and various celebrity auctions, you can see why it's a hot ticket.

I love Reba McEntyre. It's because she's a survivor, with gentle hands and the heart of a fighter. That, and I'm pretty sure she's part elf, which is awesome.

I'm glad Michael Phelps was able to put down the bong long enough to make it to the event. Ha! I'm only teasing! Besides, there's nothing I could say to him that Reba hasn't already lectured him about. She loves her kids and never stops.

Gallery Info: Muhammad Ali, Jordin Sparks, Michael Phelps, Kurt Warner, David Foster, Michael Johns, Jon Bon Jovi, Forest Whitaker, Keisha Whitaker, Reba McEntyre, John Elway, Steve Young, Josh Groban, Frankie Muniz, Bo Derek and John Corbett at Muhammad Ali's Celebrity Fight Night XV.

Michael Phelps Talks Bong Pic: Celebrating By Smoking Pot

Michael Phelps opened up to Matt Lauer in an interview about the now infamous Phelps smoking a bong photo. Check out a video preview of the interview by clicking the continue reading link below.

"It was just a small group and we were just sitting around and celebrating," he said.

"People think, you know, it's funny at times" to take an impromptu cell phone picture, Phelps said. "I'll say that there are a lot of people out there who want to take advantage of any situation they have...I trusted my friends who were there, who they were.

"And clearly they weren't [trustworthy] people...Sometimes you learn the hard way."

He also mentioned that he was unprepared for the onslaught of coverage of the photo. "I had no idea really what to do," Phelps said, referring to the moment when he learned that a photograph of him holding a bong surfaced in a British tabloid on Jan. 31.

"I knew that I'd made a mistake and made a bad judgment," Phelps said. "And...I know that when you do make a mistake...you're responsible for all of the consequences. And I was willing to, you know, accept the fact that I did make a mistake."

And let's leave it at that. End of discussion.

Michael Phelps Seeks Refuge In Strip Clubs

Just look at what one grainy, Bong-tastic photo has done to poor Michael Phelps. A little bong hit made public has turned Phelpsie into a paranoid recluse who trusts nobody but his own glass pieces, and is forced (forced, we tell you) to seek solace with strippers.

According to Page Six, Michael had the windows of his house tinted so that the paparazzi can't peer in and snap any incriminating photos of him. He's also been "hiding out" at strip clubs because that's the only place he can party without his picture being taken.

Yeah, it's a tough life for Michael Phelps. It's just cruel and unusual punishment for a 23-year-old guy to hang out in stripclubs. I'm sure he was just dragged there kicking and screaming.
