Moving on: Beard is showing off her backstroke prowess, so to speak, in response to remarks she made on a radio talk show. When asked about rumors linking her to Michael Phelps, she did her best to hold in a burst of laughter.

OK, maybe it wasn’t quite that obvious, but People.com reports Beard as saying “Eww, that’s so nasty” and that she “has really good taste.”

The mag also quotes her pulling a 180 and offering an apology. Are we the only ones who suspect the mea culpa is straight from the notes of a PR-savvy agent who advised the hottie not to say anything remotely negative about the Gold Medal King of Beijing right about now? ‘Cause we don’t believe a word of it.

Amanda Beard’s come-hither look is . . . not for Michael Phelps.

Amanda Beard Tries to Cover Up Phelps-Dissing

However, with A-Rod publicly commenting for the first time since the July 7 doomsday filing, we couldn’t resist the urge to take another swipe at our least favorite New York Yankee.

People.com ran an article from which we derived these, the top 5 dumb things the All-Star said (via filed documents) about his split from almost-ex Cynthia Rodriguez:

1. He admits that the marriage is irretrievably broken. Um, ya think? Deep thoughts, people, these are deep thoughts.

2. Because Florida is a no-fault state, he whines that C-Rod’s allegations of his extramarital affairs is “immaterial and irrelevant.” Hey, not for bloggers.

3. He argues that their divorce settlement should be determined by their prenup. Just kidding, this isn’t a Dumb Thing. In fact, it’s pretty spot on. Sorry, Cindy.

4. Per People: According to his attorneys, Alan Kluger and Jason Marks, “husband requests that both parties are designated as ‘co-residential’ parents, realizing that the children are likely to spend more time with wife given the realities of husband’s professional life.” We are positive that his baseball duties are the ONLY reason he thinks mom should keep an eye on them most of the time. Why, we can’t even think of another reason.

5. He acknowledges that he should pay child support. See Dumb Thing #1.
