Um, What?

In a surprising turn of events, our girl crush and our boy crush are planning a "quiet first date" together after someone told Michael Phelps that Carrie Underwood thinks he's cute. The two reportedly started text-messaging, which led to Michael romancing Carrie by requesting that their first date not include dinner: "I’m not so sure you’d want to see me eat! It might not make a great first impression."

Carrie's friends are less than impressed by this development, insisting that she was "devastated when her relationship with Tony Romo broke" and doesn't need another high-profile celebrity waltzing in and out of her life. Except this is Michael Phelps we're talking about — give him a couple more months and he will no longer be high-profile. America has a short attention span.

Well, I know that I never heard of him until he started dating the "teeny blond glamouristas" (as you put it). But I love hockey, not football, so I'm not sure if that would prove your point.

No, sar's point stands. Tony Romo's not even an especially good quarterback. He was meh pre-TBGs.

Carrie does seem to have a type– athletes with ears that can substitute for wings. Dumbo-esque, even, although I hate to draw parallels between Michael Phelps and Tony Romo. There's one key difference, which is that Phelps is amazing and Romo is dating Jessica Simpson.

It's just a date - they aren't getting married yet. If they hit if off great, I will expect Whitney to stand outside his house with a boombox. If not, at least Whitney will be here to continue writing about her love for mermen.

I agree - it's just a date and Tony Romo was and still is a nobody but he became more well known while dating Carrie. Michael seems like a more down to earth fun kind of guy compared to Tony. So only time will tell.

No. 12 Helen Skor says:

I'm not sure what he means by "I’m not so sure you’d want to see me eat!" Does he have really bad table manners? Or does he just eat a lot. Or is it because he eats a lot of meat and he knows that she is a vegetarian? I'm confused.

I think it's all of those reasons. The dude eats 10K calories a day. That can't be pretty no matter how you look at it.

No. 17 pw says:

the guy supposedly eats 12,000 calories a day because he burns it off so quickly when he trains. basically eats enough for a family of six during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. i'd be pretty grossed out watching that too, haha.

My advice if your thinking about going out with Carrie?

Just think before you cheat.

Or take a cab.

No. 22 Candy Barr says:

I like Carrie Underwood. She is the only thing to come off of American Idol that actually has talent. Michael Phelps seems as if he is a nice guy. That would be nice if that works.

As for Tony Romo, no, I first started hearing about him and Carrie right before they split. And I am an ex-Cowboy fan. (I went from Staubach as a kid through Aikman.)

Does anyone really think that Jessica Simpson would have tried country music if Tony hadn't been dating Underwood. I am doubting it. I want her to fall hard, and she is off to a good start with that.

Jessica Simpson just needs money lol that why she tried country music.
