Nathan Adrian has one of the most charming perso... read more »

And you thought all the blinged-up rides were garaged in LA. read more »

The stunning athletes just make the competition hotter than it already is. There should be a new category to consider in the Olympics, like THE HOTTEST MEDALIST =) Of course, I will be a guest judge and one of the requirements to be able to advance to the next level would have to be strutting around and flexing th... read more »
