Last week an Asian chick with big boobs walked around LAX with Michael Phelps, and I naturally assumed it was his big-boobed Asian girlfriend Caz Pal.  But apparently the woman was just some Asian boob double hired by the paparazzi to walk near Phelps.

How does he explain a new photo of him and a scantily [clad] woman, identified as Pal, taken at Los Angeles International Airport on Wednesday? He said it was a set-up by an enterprising photographer.

“They pose the girl up next to me as I get out of the car, and she follows me in,” he explained. “I was like, ‘Oh wow, you guys are pretty original — pose somebody next to me to make it look like we’re together!’ She, like, follows me up the counter. I’ve never seen her before in my life!

Well, that sucks.  I don’t think I’ve ever been wrong before, except about most things. I guess I can’t tell two large-breasted Asian women apart.  Does that make me racist?  I can’t be racist if I still think they’re hot, right?

Also, Phelps stated on Regis and Kelly that he’s “not seeing anyone right now,” so I guess he and Pal have split up.  What a pity.  And here we were, a nation united and in love with America’s hottest sports couple for, oh, two weeks or so.  Will we ever bounce back?  It’s too soon to tell.
