Michael Phelps will be dating Carrie Underwood
The nation just can't enough of Michael Phelps, who, besides getting a parade in his honor today at Disney World, has been rumored to be planning a liaison with former American Idol Carrie Underwood. The National Enquirer says they've been texting each other since the Olympics and are planning a "quiet first date" in Nashville.
His one great fear about meeting the singer? “I’m not so sure you’d want to see me eat! It might not make a great first impression,” the swimmer told her. Since when is having a reputation for eating three fried-egg sandwiches (with lettuce, tomato, cheese, fried onions and mayo), an omelet, a bowl of grits, french toast with powdered sugar and three chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast embarrassing?

I'm a huge Carrie fan, and I also think she is really hot and can do way better than Michael Phelps. He seems like an ok guy, but also seems like he can be kinda stupid and childish. He's in great shape, but face-wise he kinda looks a little retarded (no offense). I think Carrie can do a lot better, but if he makes her happy and she makes him happy, then I'm glad for the both of them.

I have no clue what she sees in him.He is so ugly!How can you go from liking Tony Romo to Dumbo.I don't get it! Carrie you can do so much better!She is the hottest woman in country music.Sounds like some one is a litte desperate. I can't belive Amanda Beard would ever have any interest in him.I'll pray for you Carrie!

Lol, pride of the nation. I am sorry to hear that you need NBC to tell you who to admire and need a hero that badly. He is a kid that swims fast and people who care give him fame. Dumb people make the entertainment world go around.

He is the pride of any country.
WERE DO YOU GET-OFF CRITISIZING HIM?
More people like him and less like you would make this a better place.
shame shame!!!!!

Are you kidding me? The reason why he swims so fast is beacuse his Dumbo sized ears give him lift in the water. If he were to visit Pensacola NAS, the soldiers on the aircaft carriers would scramble to prepare for a landing.

Hmmm...the Julia Roberts/Lyle Lovett couple of the 21st century?

So what? Carrie is hot and Mike is too[in a non-homosexual[the original word was flagged] way!]. They are an attractive couple. I have seen worse. If they are happy, who cares?

who cares? he's good from the neck down.

He has the maturity of a three year old. Phelps also admitted that he has ADHD; so he will be 20-ish going on Twelve. Good luck Carrie, I hope that you can deal with being the "babysitter" in the relationship.
I give it 4 weeks.
