I have never been into “Grey’s,” I find the show to be somewhat mind-numbing. However, my mind may change with the introduction of a hot, wet, new doc—physician, Michael “Dr. McSwimmy” Phelps. Watching him parade around in his Speedo with requisite resident doctor badge clipped to the waistband makes me want to take a trip to the ER. Is there a doctor in the house?

1. MTV is catered to people with a serious case of ADD, this is why I have a monster headache this morning.
2. Due to his wooden presenting skillz, I’m thinking Michael Phelps may bomb on SNL.
3. On the contrary, Taylor Swift did a bang-up job reporting from the carpet. Watch your back Vanessa Minnillo.
4. Britney behaved herself, well done.
5. Enough with Lauren Conrad, is she seriously the cornerstone of the network?
6. Christina Aguilera is still exciting to watch and her new, 80s-tinged, Missing Persons-esque single is hot.
7. Paris Hilton’s days as a superstar as numbered and so are LiLo’s—there was almost no cutting to Lohan sitting in her seat throughout the show.
8. I have a guilty pleasure and it is spelled P-A-R-A-M-O-R-E!
9. When presenting, Ashlee and Pete were actually kinda cute.
10. I loved seeing Russell Brand rip on the promise-ring set and consequently, hearing Jordin Sparks get huffy.
Missed the action? Watch a 2-minute video recap below—it’s all in there.

I have a rash of Olympic fever and no meds can cure my disease! I am reading and watching obsessively. I have even sacrificed much needed sleep to watch late night gymnastics. I think that could be why I keep having dreams about being able to do backflips. Anywho, the swim cube is where it’s at; world records are being smashed, LZR suits are being rocked, and Michael Phelps is kicking a$$ and taking names. Phelps has won 6 Golds in Beijing and has won 11 career gold medals – more than any Olympic athlete in any sport. He’s popular in the pool and he’s way popular on eBay.

According to the eBay Marketplace data over the past month:
