Michael Phelps

4/20. Four-twenty. April 20th. Call it what you want, this is one great day to be high ... on life here at THG. Or on marijuana, from sea to shining sea.

Its origins are often debated, but what's undisputed is that 4/20 has become a de facto holiday. Surely many a celebrity will be partaking on Saturday.

Such as ...

Snoop Dogg. You knowz mofo be rollin' up summa dat dank ass sticky-icky-icky and gettin' fizaded off the bubonic chronic right muthaf--kin' now.

Honestly. Snoop's almost as synonymous with weed as he is with early gangsta rap.

Willie Nelson. On 4/30, Nelson will turn 80, or nearly the amount of times he lights up in a given week. Hey, at least he's totally up front about it.

Michael Phelps and Sarah Herndon, his alleged new girlfriend, are totally together. She's confirmed the relationship in a new interview with the Daily Mail.

Less than two months after splitting with previous hot model/waitress girlfriend Megan Rossee, the Olympic great is now dating another hot model/waitress.

We present Southern California native Sarah Herndon, everyone ...

The two met just before Christmas in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. They started dating soon thereafter, and they have even traveled together to the Bahamas.

Phelps is apparently rather good at kissing as well as swimming, too.

Sarah Herndon is Michael Phelps' new girlfriend, according to celeb gossip site Radar Online. She is 1. 22 years old; 2. A waitress, and 3. Hot!

None of which are surprising.

Phelps didn't stay single for long after breaking up with Megan Rossee in December. Rossee, an aspiring model and waitress, dated him for 10 months.

The Olympic gold medalist‘s latest gal pal was reportedly “swept off her feet” by the athletic great, who whisked her off on a romantic trip to the Bahamas.

Phelps, 27, met Sarah Herndon while she was on holiday with her family in Cabo San Lucas, and she extended her trip an extra day to stay with him.

It's a new year and a new status for Michael Phelps: the most decorated Olympian in history is now single.

According to TMZ, Phelps recently ended his relationship with Megan Rossee because he wanted to "pursue other options."

And how is the model taking this news? Not especially well.

On Monday, Rossee Tweeted a photo of the following saying: "A woman's loyalty is tested when her man has nothing. A man's loyalty is tested when he has everything."

She then posted a photo of her New Year's Eve celebration and included with it the caption:

"The love of my life is the love between friends. Happy New Year! #truelove #bffs."

Phelps, meanwhile, seems to be taking everything in stride. It helps when you:

1. Possesses an 8-pack.
2. Have won 22 Olympic medals.
3. Just played beer pong with Stacy Keibler.

Hottest. Beer. Pong. Team. Ever.

Stacey Keibler and Michael Phelps didn't merely attend the same party over the weekend, they teamed up as partners in the classic drinking game, smoking the competition, according to the former's Tweet.

"Dominating. #TeamBaltimore #geometry @M_phelps00 #goodtimes," wrote Keibler as a caption to the following photo.

Both stars hail from Baltimore, but don't start getting any ideas of a relationship outside beer phone.

Keibler is very muchw with George Clooney, although Phelps appears to have split from Megan Rossee.

"Things happen for a reason... #notme," he Tweeted earlier this month.

Megan Rossee and Michael Phelps have stepped out of the spotlight a bit, but they are definitely still together. She's been Tweeting pics of them left and right.

The Olympic swimming legend did some traveling with his guy friends after the London games, but has remained tight with blonde model Megan, as well.

Now that he's back from his travels, Megan Rossee has been posting pics of the happy couple together, and they do look happy. Check out a couple of pics:

Michael Phelps' sexy new Louis Vuitton ads may land the swimmer in some hot water, due to IOC regulations about promoting non-Olympic sponsors.

Photos of Phelps taken by Annie Leibovitz were leaked online late last week, violating the International Olympic Committee's controversial Rule 40.

This provision bars athletes from promoting non-Olympic sponsors from July 18 through August 15. The Michael Phelps Louis Vuitton pic leaked August 13.

Punishments for the rule range from fines to a stripping of medals ... but is there any chance that Phelps could actually lose his record medal haul?

Highly doubtful. If it's unclear who leaked the photos, it's very tough to make a case that Phelps should be punished for the Louis Vuitton campaign.

A campaign that was supposed to begin August 16, in compliance with the rule.

Pictures not meant for public consumption get leaked all the time ... as Phelps knows all too well after the embarrassing ones of him smoking pot.

Louis Vuitton denied releasing the photographs, as did Phelps' camp. That should be enough for the Olympic legend to avoid any ramifications.

Even the hardass IOC wouldn't mess with the greatest ever, right? We'd hope so anyway. The guy has 22 medals! And Megan Rossee! Bow down.

Well, that didn't take long.

Within hours of the Spice Girls and company closing down the London Olympics, Michael Phelps has been featured in his first post-2012 Games ad campaign. The first of a great many, we're sure.

In this simple spot, the most decorated Olympian of all-time just can't escape the water, staring intently into the camera from a bathtub, a Louis Vuitton bag by his side. We're sure he'd prefer if girlfriend Megan Rossee were in there with him instead.

But the massive check written to Phelps by the purse maker likely offsets that disappointment...

Phelps has also booked his first new television gig.

He will follow in the cleated footsteps of Charles Barkley and Rush Limbaugh as a student of of Tiger Woods' former coach Hank Haney, appearing as a willing golf protege on The Haney Project.

Megan Rossee, Michael Phelps' hot model girlfriend, won't be cocktail waitressing at clubs anymore - the swimming great made sure of that!

The 25-year-old quit her job at Hollywood nightclub BLOK "almost immediately after the news of her and Michael broke," Hollyscoop reports.

But lest you accuse her of mining for gold ... Phelps wanted her to.

“Michael no longer wants his girlfriend working in that environment,” a source says, and will "cover any expenses she has until her modeling and acting career take off.”

Which, thanks to this kind of exposure, may not take too long!

It's easy to see why Michael didn’t want his girlfriend in that kind of scene, being hit on all night every night and all. He also wants to travel with her.

Michael and his guy friends are heading to the Maldives for a vacation after the Olympics, and he wants to take Megan Rossee on a separate trip after that.

He's supposedly told her they can go anywhere in the world she wants ... not a bad gig to be dating an Olympic legend who's retiring at age 27.

The London Olympics are almost over, but will we see swimming studs Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps square off on Dancing With the Stars next?

A newly-retired Phelps said earlier in the week that he wouldn't rule out following in the footsteps of Olympians who have gone on the ABC show.

He'd probably do well, but if it's up to his teammate and friendly rival Lochte, he'd best prepare himself for some stiff competition on the parquet.

"Since I'm so used to competing against Michael Phelps, I'd go on [Dancing with the Stars] with him," said Lochte, who won five medals in 2012.

"I could do Dancing with the Stars! Yeah, I think so."

No doubt Ryan Lochte's sister and mom in the audience cheering him on alongside Michael Phelps' mom in what would be a rematch for the ages.

Or at least reality TV. Who'd you rather see on DWTS?
