Michael Phelps Drunken Car Accident – Photos and Video

August 14, 2009 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

Flipper Baby, Michael Phelps has found himself more trouble. The gold medal winning icon was involved in a car crash yesterday evening in Baltimore. Phelps was driving with a couple of friends as he smashed into a Honda Accord. His Escalade crumpled the front of the Accord and sent the driver to a hospital. No significant injuries have been reported, but the female driver he hit is drawing out plans for a new stable for all the ponies Phelps is about to buy her. (Because that is what you do when you get him buy someone driving an Escalade.)

According to the Associated Press, cops said they didn’t believe alcohol was involved. However, a reader of Michael K’s over at D-Listed wrote in to him with his impartial view of the story.

Hey Michael K,

so I’m leaving my apartment tonight in my shithole city of Baltimore, when just two blocks away, I see someone has just wrecked his Escalade into a fucking PARKED car. This guy is hobbling around on the corner, looking drunk and very smug, with no shoes on and rocking a very bro-ish purple football jersey. I then realized it is the world’s fastest drunkard/highard Michael Phelps. The whole time he had a stupid shit-eating grin on his face, no doubt induced by the body shots he was probably taking as he ran his Escalade into a parked car. My friend took some photos, only to have Michael Phelps get in his face and demand, “Dude. Delete that photo. DELETE THE PHOTO NOW!”

Definitely drunk, definitely shoeless, and definitely wearing a football jersey. I’m so INTO Michael Phelps right now.

I am guessing he was on something, but that is because I am partial to the sexy gossipers of Baltimore. That and his past works against him. He was caught drinking and driving and plead guilty to being a drunk azz driver in 2004. Most recently he was caught smoking pot in a bong scandal. (Click here to see the Michael Phelps Bong Scandal Photos.)

He likes to party, nothing wrong with that, just don’t get behind the wheel. Keep it classy when your inebriated, like me and hit on your neighbor’s husband’s while demonstrating the Dame patented “Flip and Tuck” move. (This may or may not have actually taken place.)

Michael Phelps Confirms Weed Smoking Photo is Real

February 1, 2009 By Cara Harrington 6 Comments

The current scandal is a photo of Michael Phelps smoking weed. (See That Photo Here) The image shows the swimmer using a bong. British paps broke the story and published the photo that might end his Olympic dreams. Questions as to the legitimacy of the photo of course came into play. However he has confirmed that the photo is real in a statement.

Per The Associated Press Via ESPN:

Phelps said: “I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I’m 23 years old and despite the successes I’ve had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.”

I am also told that the World Anti-Doping Agency enforces a suspension for athletes who are drug offenders, which includes the Olympics. The Agency typically bans drug using athletes for 4 years. First time offenders typically face a 2 year leniency. He might just be able to squeak by and still be aloud to compete in London.

Michael Phelps Smoking Pot – Photo

February 1, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Roll your eyes and fake a gasp as the ‘news’ that Michael Phelps smokes marijuana has broken. The real reality of the news is that this photo of Phelps using a bong could lead to a ban from the next Olympic games.

Laws for the games ban competitiors for 4 years for any kind of drug use. The 2012 London hosted Olympics was said to be Michael’s last swim for the gold medal. If the committee and heads of the sporting games find this suffient proof of his drug use, it could be over for Phelps. The US Olympics Committee, World Anti-Doping Agency and his coach, Bob Bowman all refused to comment at this time. According to News of the World a Phelps spokesman, Clifford Bloxham, however did.

Via News of the World:

“Spokesman Clifford Bloxham offered us an extraordinary deal not to publish our story, saying Phelps would become our columnist for three years, host events and get his sponsors to advertise with us.

In return, he asked that we kill Phelps’ bong picture. Bloxham said: “It’s seeing if something potentially very negative for Michael could turn into something very positive for the News of the World.”’

Friends and family are reportedly worried about the record smashing swimmer beyond his gold medal dreams. He has been “spinning out of control” and “partying” constantly. The photo above is said to have been taken at a party at the University Of South Carolina. Stunned party goers wear not only impressed that a celebrity had walked into their party, but how well he could drink and smoke.

“You could tell Michael had smoked before. He grabbed the bong and a lighter and knew exactly what to do. 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. Michael ended up getting a little paranoid, though, because before too long he looked like he was nervous and ran out of the place.”

This isn’t the first time he has found himself in trouble with booze. In 2004 after his Olympic success he was caught drinking under the influence at a youthful 19 years old.

Such a waste, but really…do you think over 6 feet of butterface with gobs of cash in his 20’s is going to sit at home and host canasta tournaments?

Scratch-N-Sniff Sexiest Man Alive

November 21, 2008 By Cara Harrington 2 Comments

People magazine is taking their “Sexiest Man Alive” campaign a bit further this year. The new issue featuring the hot men with celebrity status will feature scratch-n-sniff for each of the men. As disappointing as the list is this year, the favorite smells don’t really interest me unless it is the smell of giving Cara money.

Chace Crawford – “His smell: “freshly cut grass”, telling the magazine he “grew up playing a lot of football and golf … When I smell freshly cut grass I get this air of competition. It wakes me up, gets me going.”

I’m surprised he didn’t say the sweet scent of Home Depot. Oh? He isn’t a lesbian? Oh.

Michael Phelps – “His smell: his favorite cologne, L’Homme YSL”

I kinda figured Phelps would smell like chlorine and breakfast burritos. Kinda like Denny’s near a hotel pool.

Chris Meloni – “His smell: a day at the beach”

For some reason I kinda thought it would be the scent of KY.

Taye Diggs – “His smell: “vanilla, chocolate, sandalwood and musk essential oils”

I am now living at “Bath and Body Works” because he obviously lives there too.

GQ Men of the Year Photos

November 18, 2008 By Cara Harrington 2 Comments

President-elect Barack Obama, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jon Hamm and Michael Phelps all made GQ’s list of Men of the Year. They are each pictured on the covers of the magazines on newsstands now.

Which is good that I have these at home. Because when you lick magazine covers while in line at the newsstands people tend to think you are crazy and homeless. Then when try to defend yourself with…“Ummm have you seen Michael Phelps’ abs lately?” They assume you are diseased.

Moving on…other winners include John Malkovich (Mad Genius of the Year), Megan Fox (Obsession of the Year), Sean Penn (Drama Queen of the Year), James Franco (Screen Idol of the Year), The ‘Wire’ Writers (Tough Guys of the Year), Seth McFarlane (Mogul of the Year) and Gordon Ramsay (Prick of the Year).
