Michael: Pete Sampras called and wants his eyebrows back.

Also, would it kill him to cover his piehole when he yawns?

Soooo.. Where's the locker room footage? And the shower scene.. I mean, don't all pools SAY that you should shower before entering the pool? Hygiene or something? So where's that..?

WHY CAN'T ANDERSON BE SHIRTLESS ALL THE TIME?????????????

and why can't we sanction Michael Phelps's face? Like the conditions of the interview need to be that his head is covered and that he can't speak.

He's one who could definitely benefit from a Joan Holloway speech:

"Go home, take a paper bag, cut some eyeholes out of it. Put it over your head, get undressed and look at yourself in the mirror. Really evaluate where your strengths and weaknesses are. And be honest."

it's at 1:05..

@BeccaThePromoMami: please don't make me type LOL. I'm thinking of a Joan Holloway blog. Joan gives advice to:

Barack

Target store designers

People who wear Uggs

Possibilities are endless.

After hearing of the gasps of shock emitted by Clay Aiken fans when he came out a few months (not years?) ago, I have developed a deep fear that thousands of middle Americans will commit seppuku the day after Andy finally appears on the cover of Out Magazine.

And, I still think Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell are lovers, but no one will believe me.

@MissNormaDesmond: Hah! Good point. But seeing as Phelps's manager or whatever waved off a $5 MILLION offer like someone says "no thanks" to a waiter offering to fill your water glass, I imagine the negotiations for pulling that segment off went something like this:

60 MINUTES PRODUCER:

Okay, can we talk?

PHELPS MANAGER:

Sure.

PRODUCER:

Besides the ride-along, the sit-down, tour of his Baltimore apartment et cetera, we'd also like Anderson to do a fun segment with the Phelpster.

MANAGER:

Did you just call my client "The Phelpster"?

PRODUCER:

Oh, is that not okay?

MANAGER:

Damn skippy it ain't.

PRODUCER:

Sorry. With Michael.

MANAGER:

That's more like it.

PRODUCER:

So will he do it?

MANAGER:

Michael is really tired of the swimming thing.

PRODUCER:

Whaaat? Liar.

MANAGER (giggling):

Yes okay, I was joking.

PRODUCER:

So we can get them in the water?

MANAGER:

It depends.

PRODUCER:

How about a little race?

MANAGER:

Is Anderson just trying to get Michael in swim trunks?

PRODUCER:

Um -

MANAGER:

Because he'd be totally cool with it.

PRODUCER:

Really?

MANAGER:

The more you know!

PRODUCER:

Oh mah GAH is Anderson going to make news with this segment?

MANAGER:

Depends. Can we work Subway into the piece?

The rest, as they say, is history.

Phelps never learned to cover his mouth when he yawns. The boy needs to learn some manners.

Getting into swimming trunks and swimming with Phelps was a gutsy thing for Cooper to do. I can't imagine any of the other "60 Minutes" guys trying this... nor would I want to.

Phew. I really thought there was gonna be something homo-erotic in that video, thanx to the copy.. but I must've misread it. A girl gets tired of hearing about all the cutie pie boys who end up liking other cutie pie boys (and no.. I'm NOT talking about Phelps). Sooo... veddy goot. One of my contemporaries who I can still stare at with a twinkle in mine eye.

@get the buttah: Not to be mean or anything, but what about one man saying to another "my heart skipped a beat" while fondling his medals doesn't strike you as homoerotic? I thought Cooper was going to leap into Phelps's arms at any moment. But then, I have no problem fantasizing about gay men -- I just imagine them saying, "You know, I never thought a woman could turn me on until I met you." And then we have mad hot sex because it's a fantasy and it really doesn't matter.

Between Coop timing how long it took for him to fall asleep, snooping around his kitchen cabinets and then showing his dirty pile of laundry in the corner, this was a little creepy.

Maybe he thought he played a little too hard to get with David Beckham and wanted to be a little more assertive.

Another Gawkerite said it best: "I hate it when 'things that I'd like to fuck' overlaps with 'things that look like a monkey'."

And, of course, Andy's hair was otherworldly perfect after his 'splash & dash' date. And was he actually wearing boardshorts?! Boo!
