Remember when hearts were aflutter across the country for champion Olympic swimmer/butterface extraordinaire Michael Phelps? This summer, he was linked to everyone from Carrie Underwood to Britney Spears in the tabloids. Well, the buzz around Phelps has died down since the Olympics ended, but that doesn’t mean he’s sitting home alone waiting for the phone to ring. Apparently, the gold medalist has been spending the last few months with an aspiring model who works as a cocktail waitress in Las Vegas. He met her while in sin City for a poker game, and he even brought her home to meet mom for Thanksgiving.
Michael Phelps has taken another lap with his girlfriend – a big one. She’s spending Thanksgiving in Baltimore with him and his family.
The Olympic champ has been dating Las Vegas cocktail waitress Caroline “Caz” Pal, 26, for about two months. The two met after his record-setting performance in Beijing last summer.
“She’s there [in Maryland] meeting his family for the first time,” a source close to Pal tells PEOPLE.
Along with dating Pal, a waitress at the Palms Casino Resort’s Moon Nightclub, Phelps is spending time in Vegas working on his poker game.
Of course, once the news came out, it didn’t take long to find partially-nude photos of Caroline Pal, who looks a little like Tila Tequila. You can see them over at Yeeah! They look like photos from a Maxim or Gear spread – panty-flashing, strategically covered breasts and so on. They aren’t too racy, but I can’t imagine Mrs. Phelps being too impressed. Michael – you can do better.
Sarah Larson anyone?
PHELPS GOT HIT W/ THE UGLY STICK
LMAO @ Butterface extraodinaire.
Her picture doesn’t look too different to the spreads on Sports Illustrated or Victoria’s Secret. Of course, the response would be different if it was Marisa Miller or Alessandra Ambrosia on his arm.
I’d say she could do much better…. 😕
I’d say this girl looks NOTHING like that strange kewpie Tila T., but I guess it’s inevitable that because she’s asian, people will say that. Sigh.
Can you still be an aspiring model at 26?
They are both butterfaces, so they have a lot in common already.
This week he is, anyway. More power to him I say. He’s peaked in his 20’s with 8 gold Olympic medals and there’s nowhere to go but down from there.
The thing that brought these two together—–Liquor. They both need it in order to make them more appealing to one another.
He didnt get hit with the ugly stick, he ran into the ugly forest and hit every fuckin tree on the way in.
Poor boy. I doubt he’s had alot of GF’s with his strict training and that butta’ face. Even some of the ugly chicks on the swim team dis’d him.
He’s probably over the moon with chicks galore now.
I just hope he’s not going to be easy prey for any half way cute gold diggers.
I doubt he’s washed up tho’. His endorsements alone will keep him on the scence for awhile.
He won 6 medals in his 1st Olympics, 8 in his second. Now he’s going for a 3rd olympics with the goal of 6 more.
Hopefully he doesn’t get side tracked with partin’ in Vegas . . .with a bunch of skanky goldidggers and gambling his millions away.
I thought he had herpes 😯
Maybe it’s bcs I’m not American & therefore don’t have to hear about this guy as much as you guys do (I’m assuming?) but I don’t see him as this huge douchebag others do. He’s an exceptional athlete who achieved something that probably no one else will for a long, long time. No, he’s not the most attractive guy, but that’s just more reason to get while the gettin’s good. 8)
SeVen/devilgirl: 😆 😆 😆
He seems like the type of guy who’s spent most of his life training at the pool. His girl sounds pretty ambitious, hope she isn’t using him because he seems like a nice guy.
Meh. He bores me.
He seems like he would like bad girls. Do we know if he’s packing or not?
He’s a genetic anomaly that is built for swimming, but that extra-long torso and extra-long jaw are not women-catchers, IMO. I suspect he’s as obsessed with strippers and gambling as he was with swimming. I’d bet money he’ll blow through all his endorsement money in Vegas.
Three bucks that he will be busted for drugs at the next olympics. The best ones usually are.
A 23yr old dorky guy finally getting some? All work and no play etc etc. What a fuss over nothing. 🙄
This kid probably hasn’t been totally dry in his life. Let him have his fun. Who hasn’t dated a ho or two in their day?
And he’s just got an ugly mouth, his eyes are really pretty.
I do agree Geronimo, every guy worth his salt deserves to get laid once in a while.
@ Shona. Out of all the comments I think yours is probably the truest,saddest one.
Just to clarify….Tila is Vietnamese, Caroline on the other hand, does not seem to be.
To everyone not aware, Asia is a continent with many DISTINCT countries that have distinct languages, cultures and traditions.
Either way, Olympic medals or not, aesthetically speaking, Phelps is not “conventionally” good looking. But hey, a guy’s a guy. Let him have his good times.
She is sexy! Have a good time Michael, you deserved it!
More power to him, and yes, he is not the most handsomest of people, but he does alright.
I know nothing of her though so maybe she is a sweetheart and deserves a chance.
Or maybe she is a gold digger…
And for someone higher up in the thread, he has 14 gold medals, 6 from the previous Olympics.
And for someone else further up, I BET he won’t be found with / on drugs, some people work hard for their achievements and others don’t. He does.
AND women are gonna want a piece of him for the fame / money…
Look at Mick Jagger…
Say what you want about the guy, He’s helped out a sick kid at a hospital in his home town, donated money and time to the children hospital, he has investments from his endorsements , his a world champion with a lot of medals (GOLD), the nicest attitude, you might call him butter face , imagine what people say about you behind your backs, I bet its not nice . At least he has done something with his life , if you just go by looks alone , you have so little friends. What happen to liberal happiness and joyful togetherness. I guess that’s lost to.
