Michael Phelps, fresh off winning a medal or two at the Olympics, is doing what every American celebrity sports superstar does when they return home: make money and appear on television. He's already locked down to host Saturday Night Live for the show's season premiere, and now it appears as if he will be making a guest appearance on HBO's Entourage. Also, he may be popular.When Michael Phelps shot an impromptu cameo for the new season of Entourage this week, the HBO comedy's fab four got a taste of what hanging out with the original Fab Four might have been like.The Beatles, Jesus parables, whatever works for you, Connolly. The Entourage spot appears to be a pretty big deal these days, what with Phil Mickelson dropping in for some Pro-Am golf lessons at some point in the season, although there's probably a reasonable point to be made that the show just, well, isn't that great.
"It was like being in New York City with one of the Beatles," Kevin Connolly told E! News Friday about shooting a scene with the 14-time Olympic gold medalist, who's been the toast of seemingly every town since returning to the U.S. from Beijing.
"People were stopping in the streets and climbing up things to see him. They were going nuts. He's like a superstar."
Don't get me wrong, I watch the hell out of it (I am, after all, easily entertained). And I'm pumped for Phelps' cameo. But I'm also willing to bet that Drama and Turtle chase some women around while smoking pot, Vince and E have drama with a movie that involves Walsh and Ari swears a lot.
h.t Game On
