OOH! OOH! I KNOW THIS ONE! PICK ME! PICK ME! UNNNNNHHH!!!!! PICK ME!!!!!

i have been a huge 'Phelps is not ugly' supporter, but i may have to admit that picture captures a 'special' side of him.

Gee……..she had me at 'I have really good taste'. What a twat.

Let's not mince words, the man is a total butterface, but her statement was still a faux pas.

Its just the teeth. If he fixed those chompers everyone would leave the kid alone I think.

I agree, it looks like he's got one too many sets of teeth and quite a gummy smile, other than that and the cro-magnum man thing, he's relatively not unattractive.

He'll fix it. He can afford to. Shit, he can get a head transplant now if he wants.

I'm kind of mad he signed with Kellogg's and won't be on the Wheaties box. I mean, come on! Wheaties!!

I have a special little place in my heart for those with messed up teeth. My hubbie is really self-conscious about his crooked teeth but I think it's cute. Did anyone else watch Rome? Phelps sort of reminds me of Brutus. And do you remember that scene when he went into the river naked? Oh boy.

i love the tags on this story: "Amanda Beard, Cruelty, Disses, Michael Phelps, Olympics, Ugliness"

I think it says that the general consensus is that yes indeed he is fugly, we all want him to be our golden boy hero but we know he's a chimp. We were hoping that Beard was saying what we all were thinking, but she had a great excuse…damn her.

Kittenpaw–YES I know exactly what you are talking about!! Rome, what a great show.

I hear you AdAd but wouldn't you rather have a lifetime supply of any sugar and cereal combination you can conjure?

Sar. I left a post for you on yesterday's Spencer/Jesus thing. I'm a jerk for not knowing it was your birthday.

Angie! So glad to find another Rome lover. I had a major crush on Brutus after that river scene. Wink wink.

she has no room to talk….she's a buttaface

Seriously, did anyone listen to the full interview before taking that comment out of context? She shouldn't have to explain, it was such an obvious joke.

Phelps is adorable, sweet, long & lean, and……super rich.
I call that tasteful.

Ugh, the guy was called a "butterface" (a term I hate) on this here site just last week, Cord.

Sarah thank you! How sweet!

Besides the "I have good taste," comment? If someone suggested I was dating a guy I considered family, the normal response would be, "Oh no, I think of him like a brother." Never the words, "ewww" or "nasty."

Funny she's just now realizing that not only did she come off rude, but immature and unintelligent as well.

Michael Phelps is a Malphin. Part man, part dolphin. He doesn't have to be good looking, he's got that squeaky Flipper charm! And he helps the Chief Warden at the Coral Key Park enforce regulations on the preserve!!

They call him MichaelPhelps, MichaelPhelps, faster than liiiightning,
No-one you see, has more gold than he!

Her comment seriously gave off the vibe that she was disgusted by his sight. Her bad.
And he's not ugly. Jeez.

I think it says that we all know he looks like a monkey that's been beaten about the head with a shovel, but unlike her, we feel it shouldn't matter.

From what I've heard about Amanda Beard, she really wasn't joking when she said those things.

And Michael Phelps may have a slightly underdeveloped jaw, ears that stick out a little and a minor speech impediment, but I really don't think he's that ugly. He's certainly not "nasty."

She does it through the whole interview, the guys are treating it like a joke as well. The funniest part to me is how many people haven't even bothered to find the full interview.

I don't even think he's a butterface, I think he's just nasty. And I'm not joking.

I listened to the whole interview. Sometimes people are joking, but not really.

pot calling kettle black, she is one funky looking chick.

Fair enough, Luz.

Yeah um, Amanda….you ain't exactly not nasty yourself. Hee-haw!

He definitely has the last laugh. Stephanie Rice is so much prettier than that amanda person.

If looking really sweet and loving his mom are ugly things I want ugly. I mean this guy won major gold. He seems to have no narcissistic tendency's like so many of the people on this board and most of the athletes today. Go ahead and marry yourself a narcissists. You'll find that character and honesty and kindness are the things you missed out on when you get old. The nice things your sweet guy did for you far out weigh the way he looks standing next to you. Some people are so shallow and in being so will pay big time.

what a contradiction she just said SHE HAS GOOD TASTE meaning he is ugly bcos she's not dating him.. whatever she's just mad he doesn't want her

Amanda thinks she's the shit now that she's shown her titties to the world. I'm here to tell you that is one nasty ass looking chick. I'd take the body, but the face? No thanks!

And hell yeah I'd take Phelps any day.
