Michael "Don't Look At The Face" Phelps has $5 million endorsement deals with VISA Inc., Hilton Hotels Corp., AT&T Inc., Kellogg Co., Speedo International Ltd, and…PureSport.

Never heard of PureSport? That's because it didn't even exist 3 years ago.

Before the Golden Boy got gilt, he and 3 teammates agreed to endorse the sports drink based out of Austin, Texas. In Beijing, every time Phelps climbed out of the pool, a coach handed him a bottle of PureSport, and before you know it, everyone wanted some of his magic carbo-protein cocktail.

Now the seven strong company slaps Phelps' face on everything, and the exposure has earned them a spot in sports stores shelves, though they still cannot afford TV or print ads. The company gets Phelps for 7 days out of the year and "books the hell out of him." In return, Phelps gets a 5% cut.

Folks in the know say that the close association with a start-up could mean serious disaster for Phelps' image if the company bombs, so Golden Boy better start working it.

Fortunately, it seems like girlfriend Caz is already a big fan of his protein drink!

Olympic Gold winner Michael Phelps has just been named Sports Illustrated's "Sportsman of the Year."

He'll be the first swimmer to ever be given that title!

During his photo session posing for the cover, Phelps took some time to talk to the press. He said, "Honestly, I feel like the same person I've been my whole life."

Adding, "I'm doing what I love. I was able to accomplish what I wanted to accomplish this year. It's been a dream come true of a year, and I definitely couldn't ask to change anything."

Sports Illustrated Group editor Terry McDonell called the choosing of Phelps as "the easiest choice I have made. It is so obvious that he changed not only swimming, but the entire Olympic landscape."

And, Phelps is grateful for all the attention he's been able to get for his sport.

He says, "The football players and basketball players and baseball players have it a little bit different. Everybody sees their faces more often. Just being able to have the attention of the American public is something I've always wanted for our sport. I've been able — not only myself but my teammates — have been able to work together to allow that to happen."

We wonder, though, how he feels about all the attention he's getting by dating that Vegas slut girl he met this year.

Hope his boyfriend doesn't get jealous that Andy was flirting with the Olympyian!

We've previously mentioned that Olympic golden boy Michael Phelps has been spending lots of time in Sin City with a Palms casino COCKtail waitress.

Well, things are getting fairly serious for the swimmer and the HOtel HOstess named Caroline "Caz" Pal, according to reports.

Golden Boy brought 'Caz', pictured above, home to Maryland for turkey day!

Mikey's mommy, Debbie, must love what her little boy dragged home.

Really, Golden Boy?

That's what you're settling for? You have your pick of ladies!

Good luck, though, 'Caz'.

May you fare better than that other Palms HOstess, George Clooney's ex, Sarah Larson.

Ahem, get preggers and you'll be set for 18 years!

Gold diggers from around the world must be getting their head shots/resumes/boob jobs all set for the next Palms job fair!

Olympic record holder Michael Phelps has been popping up quite regularly in Las Vegas say insiders.

He's been taking poker lessons from the city's pros because he supposedly wants to compete in next year's World Series of Poker.

But, that's not his only reason to be spending so much time in Sin City!!!

Golden Boy has been jetting into the desert gambling mecca to enjoy the company of a brunette 'hostess' that works at the Palms!

How very George Clooney of him!

We love a good HOtel HOstess!

Go on, player! Play on while you can!
