Brittny Gastineau is putting an end to rumors that she is not only dating Michael Phelps, but also carrying his baby.

The celebrity socialite (who is also the daughter of former NFL player Mark Gastineau) admits that she did, indeed, share romantic evening in Los Angeles recently with the Olympic championship swimmer, but as far as the rumors of her buying a pregnancy test at a pharmacy in New York City a few days later, Gastineau told People exclusively: “I never did.”

The daughter of football star Mark Gastineau also throws cold water on the Phelps romance, confirming that the two are no longer dating. “I’m too busy to date anyone because I’m working so hard on my jewelry line,” she says.

And while Gastineau is not pregnant, she does have big plans for becoming a mom – someday. “It would be great to be pregnant at the same time as my BFF Kim [Kardashian],” she says of her longtime pal, who recently made headlines thanks to her budding relationship and sudden split with Halle Berry’s ex Gabriel Aubrey.

Guess that clears those Michael Phelps rumors up! For now, at least…

New couple alert?

Celebrity socialite Brittny Gastineau and Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps are secretly dating, according to a brand new report from TMZ.com.

Gastineau (the daughter of former NFL star Mark Gastineau) and Phelps were spotted shopping and spending some QT with each other over the weekend at the Grove in Los Angeles, and as soon as TMZ started filming footage of the pair out together, they split in opposite directions!

A source close to the pair tells us the whole thing is kind of new, but the pair hung out at the Mondrian Hotel on Friday night and were “very cozy.” Then on Saturday, we’re told they hit up a Coffee Bean and did a little shopping … that’s when we caught up with them.

The rumored relationship between the socialite and the Olympic gold medalist has already been met with some controversy, as Phelps’ fans are concerned that if he’s out wining and dining Gastineau, he most likely isn’t training for the upcoming 2012 London Olympics.

Brittny Gastineau (who is BFFs with Kim Kardashian) is best known for starring in “Gastineau Girls,” an E! reality series that ran for two seasons back in 2005.

Contrary to rumors that have been swirling about, Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps told Usmagazine.com Wednesday at the opening of the Omega flagship boutique in NYC that he was single and he wasn’t dating anybody. Rumors of him dating the controversial Miss California hopeful Carrie Prejean began to circulate about the blogs and various news sites over the past week or so.

“I’m not dating anybody … I’m single. My private life stays private.”

As for Prejean’s  anti-gay marriage answer during the Miss USA competition, Phelps tells Us, “That’s the cool thing about America – everybody has their opinion. I’m not saying I support her,” Phelps then added. “I’m not saying I don’t support her.” [ SOURCE ]

Champion Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps can breathe easy now because he won’t be charged for those infamous photos of him smoking pot through a bong at a party near the vicinity of University of South Carolina’s campus in Columbia, SC. The photo made its way around the internet throughout the first part of February, and after a ridiculously stupid “investigation,” Richland Country Sheriff Leon Lott said Monday that he wouldn’t be charging Michael for smoking weed through a bong. Shortly after Monday’s announcement, Phelps put the following up on his Facebook page:

“I’m glad this matter is put to rest. But there are also some important lessons that I’ve learned. For me, it’s all about recognizing that I used bad judgment and it’s a mistake I won’t make again. For young people especially — be careful about the decisions you make. One bad decision can really hurt you and the people you care about. I really appreciate the support my family and fans have shown me and now I will move forward and dive back into the pool, having put this whole thing behind me.”

Well that’s good to hear. Shouldn’t low-country South Carolina have more important things to worry about anyway? A dude getting high should be the least of their worries! The law is always trying to make an example out of somebody…

Phelps also was suspended from competition and denied financial support for three months by USA Swimming, the sport’s national governing body.

“This is not a situation where any anti-doping rule was violated, but we decided to send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero,” the federation says in a statement. “Michael has voluntarily accepted this reprimand and has committed to earn back our trust.”

The 23-year-old all-time Olympic swimming champ with eight gold medals last summer has apologized. His rep said Thursday the swimmer “accepts these decisions and understands their point of view.”

“He feels bad he let anyone down,” the rep says. “He’s also encouraged by the thousands of comments he’s received from his fans and the support from his many sponsors. He intends to work hard to regain everyone’s trust.”

Phelps’s other sponsors, including Speedo, Omega watch and Visa, have stuck by him.

Your boy Michael Phelps, you know, the guy who won a gazillion gold medals at the 2008 Olympics, was photographed smoking pot through a bong at a college party last fall. The photos first surfaced on British tabloid News of the World, which reported that the photo was taken back in November 2008 in the vicinity of the University of South Carolina.

“I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment,” said Phelps, who won a record eight gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, in a statement Sunday. “I’m 23 years old, and despite the successes I have had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner that people have come to expect from me,” he said. “For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public — it will not happen again.”

He’ll probably get a little slap on the wrist and his bank account will bail him out. Why do people take photos of themselves, and other people, doing s**t like this and put it on the internet?

The 2008 Finals was a great event in itself, but the final long awaited match-up between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics was nail biting, to say the least, until the final buzzer. The past rivalry between these two team is legendary. For the 11th time, they battled head to head for the championship title. Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce were known as the ‘Big Three’ all up against a one man stampede, Kobe Byrant. The Los Angeles Lakers showed their teamwork in the 2008 Finals, but the Celtics lead the series victoriously.  Although the Boston Celtics took the 2008 Championship title, it was still very interesting watching every game they played against one another, making it the best moment in sports.

Southside Chicago native point guard, Derrick Rose, was chosen as the top draft pick of the NBA. Rose got recognition for his position by scouts who had watched him play for his college basketball team, University of Memphis Tigers. During his freshman year at the University of Memphis playing with the Tigers, he lead his team to 38 consecutive wins breaking a new NCAA record taking them to the NCAA Division Basketball Tournament.  He was selected first overall by hometown team, Chicago Bulls, in the 2008 NBA Draft. At 6-foot-3, Rose is now averaging 17.2 points per game.

The Women’s National Basketball Association is known for there charisma and strong athletic women, but until recently, they’ve never been known for “cat fights!” One of the most respected womens’ basketball team, the Los Angeles Sparks, was involved in a brawl against the Detroit Shock. Candace Parker and Lisa Leslie were ejected from the game in the final 90 seconds. It was wild seeing all that athleticism get thrown hand to hand between all those strong women…hahaha.
