2010 Winter Games in Vancouver Seeks $458 Million Government Bailout!

It's only a year or so away, but the city of Vancouver may not be ready for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. The city is seeking a $458 Million bailout to finish construction on the Olympic Village and is asking its Government for help.  The last of the monies will be gone, and Fortress investments, who was funding the project, has cut off funds according to UPI.  A Gov't spokesman said they will not cover any cost overruns. Does this mean no ice dancing?  I don't think so....

Michael Phelps Brings home Topless Model/Bartender Caroline "Caz" Pal to Meet the Folks?

 Some Hollywood producer will probably want to update "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" after Olympian Michael Phelps brought home Caroline "Caz" Pal who is a Bartender/Topless Model and works at Moons Night Club at the Palms Hotel in Los Vegas. I wonder if Pal showed Mrs. Phelps who tattoo.

Michael Phelps Forgets to Hang Up Phone After Interview on the Dan Le Betard's Miami Radio Show on The Ticket!

Michael Phelps is still naive, and needs a group of good handlers- from the photo of him grabbing the butt of a female dancer in Vegas, to not realize he didn't hang up the phone after an interview on Don Le Batard's radio show. The kid is young, and mistakes like this can be costly to his image- believe it or not. Phelps may have 8 gold medals but he is NOT teflon coated. At that point Phelps concluded the interview, but didn't realize he hadn't hung up the phone  Sports By Brooks

Phelps was doing interviews for Kellogs today, and when asked (according to Sports By Brooks) “What is the single coolest thing to happen to you since the Olympic Games?”  Phelps replied it was having a charity set up by Kelloggs.   Batard's last question to Phelps was “Do you go into the nightclub with these Kellogg’s products and just drop them on the floor with your face on them. At that point Phelps concluded the interview, but didn't realize he hadn't hung up the phone.  Phelps told his "handlers" I didn’t say nothing. That guy was a idiot, that was ridiculous.”
