Michael Phelps

It takes a lot to impress Lindsay Lohan.

Okay, we're lying. For awhile there, a guy just needed to be able to tie one of his shoelaces correctly before ending up in bed with the mediocre actress.

Lohan has calmed down a bit over the last few months, though, as her relationship with Samantha Ronson actually seems to have mellowed Lindsay out. These two seem like a regular, happy couple.

Still, when asked what she thought of Olympic icon Michael Phelps, Lindsay told Access Hollywood via text message: “Tell him he’s f*cking amazing, and I want to meet him.”

Look out, Samantha! Between the breast stroke and the butterfly, Phelps could teach your girlfriend things in bed even she doesn't know.

Samantha Ronson won't be smiling after she hears what Lindsay Lohan thinks of Michael Phelps.

Michael Phelps is not seeing Amanda Beard nude.

At least not more than anyone who hasn't bought that swimmer's Playboy issue.

With rumors swirling about these Olympians' activities out of the pool, Beard joked around with 93.7 KRQ Tucson's Johnjay and Rich in the Morning yesterday. Asked to classify her relationship with Phelps, Beard said:

"I am not dating Michael Phelps," adding, "Come on, I have really good taste."

Now, though, Beard is catching flak for her flippancy. She's been forced to clarify her remarks to a sensitive public:

"Everyone who knows me knows I can be a jokester, but I guess I took it too far," the four-time Olympian said. "I never meant to say anything rude about Michael. I am 100-percent sorry for what I said. I take full responsibility for it."

With that out of the way, let us know who you'd sleep with first: Michael Phelps or Mark Spitz?

Earlier today, we published reports that Michael Phelps might be dating fellow Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard. Or British model Lily Donaldson.

Heck, he could be dating both of these beauties and he'd still need to add six girlfriends in order to match his gold medal haul from Beijing last week.

Truly amazing stuff. The only man even close to equaling Phelps' accomplishments in the water is Mark Spitz, who took home seven golds in 1972. Still, it's unlikely Spitz could defeat his Olympic counterpart in a head-to-head race.

But can he defeat him in a match-up of who could bed the most babes?

Take a look at each of these swimmers shirtless and let us know who you'd rather, well, you know ...

As Michael Phelps was breaking seven world records and earning eight gold medals at last week's Beijing Olympics, The Hollywood Gossip staff avoided covering his feats for two reasons:

1. They defied comprehension to such an extent that they left us speechless... which is saying a lot for a group of writers that can fill paragraphs picking apart the latest Brooke Hogan fashion disaster or critiquing the so-called "music" of Heidi Montag;
2. As impressive as it is, swimming faster than any human being that has ever lived does not exactly fall under the category of "celebrity gossip."

Now, though, as rumors about which beauty Phelps is dating become a hot topic, we're ready to dive into the dating pool with the star athlete!

Reports out of Great Britan have narrowed down the possible lucky ladies to a pair: U.S. swimmer Amanda Beard or British fashion model Lily Donaldson.

Beard, of course, is known for being a former Olympic swimmer herself (as well as posing nude for PETA and Playboy), while Donaldson has replaced Kate Moss as one of the faces of Burberry.

Reportedlty, either Amanda Beard or Lily Donaldson is having her breasts stroked by Michael Phelps.
