All right. Ok. Now we get it. Poker player/swimmer Michael Phelps probably wasn’t a stud growing up. As in, if it wasn’t for that swimming hobby of his, he might not of been the coolest guy. No shame in that, but it is what it is.
So he’s really relishing being cool right now. And he should. Because with 8 gold medals on his belt after the 2008 Summer Olympics, Phelps is doing one of the best, “Yeah I have 8 gold medals and $100 mil coming my way the next few years, so suck my d— world! Yo DJ, pump A Milli again so I can grind on my hot Asian girlfriend…” that we’ve ever seen.
Over New Year’s, Phelps was seen (yet again) in Vegas partying this time with Phil Ivey. Phelps already seemed to have some wicked poker chops before hanging with Ivey et. al., so if he’s getting any tips (likely at a ridiculous hourly rate), watch out 2009 WSOP (if he plays, as predicted upon here).

It’s officially curtains for The Real Deal. After an eight-week run, the folks at The Venetian have finally pulled the plug on its poker-themed stage show which starred big name pros such as Daniel Negreanu, Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, Scotty Nguyen, Gavin Smith and Antonio Esfandiari.
We could tell you that the piss poor economy, launching the show three years after the height of the poker boom and people’s overall lack of interest in poker-themed stage shows were to blame but that would be glossing over the real reason why it bombed: not having co-host Lacey Jones appear in nothing but body paint nightly. That would have been a hit. Huge hit. Todd Brunson plump-ily sitting at a poker table, not so much.

If you listen to the Howard Stern show, you know that Rick’s Caberet had its grand opening in Las Vegas last week.

Michael Phelps was making the rounds in Las Vegas this weekend.
But instead of solely banging the hundreds of skank groupies that throw themselves at him wherever he goes, he spent much of his time at the poker tables.
Phelps, an avid online poker player, final tabled a $1,570 buy-in event at the Caesars Poker Classic (at Caesars Palace). Phelps banked $5,213 for his efforts.
According to Norm Clarke, Phelps was "letting it be known" that he wants to play in the 2009 World Series of Poker. Only question now is will he be wearing a Stars or FTP cap.
In related news, we’re working on landing a TOKE interview with him right now. Developing…
UPDATE: So Phelps signed some sort of exclusive deal for vid coverage with…Card Player? CARD PLAYER? What a douche move. Who does that? And Card Player hasn’t been relevant for about two years now. Still working on it though…
