Since the Olympics, he....
- stands to make $10M in endorsements
- has been partying like a rock star
- raced Prince Harry at 2am at a pool at the XS nightclub in Vegas (as some radio guy said this morning, "nothing good ever comes out of stuff like that at 2am...you'll never hear someone say, 'and then we started a charity for Somalian orphans'")
- is about to move to L.A. and chase reality TV fame
- might become the next Bachelor on ABC (hear that okaydo?)
- is trying to trademark the phrase "Jeah!"

What do you think? Will it end well for Lochte, or will we see him on VH1's Celebrity Rehab in a few years?

Chase it while you can. He and the Olympics become less relevant every day for the next 3.5 years.

You forgot "filmed 90210 cameo.":




On the one hand, it's good to strike while the iron is hot

But I've never seen such a shameless media whore. (He's become a regular on TMZ Live in the past week.)

Meanwhile, Nathan Adrian will be on The Tonight Show tonight -- but not as a guest.


Edited to add: Lochte also did this since the Olympics:

Note to Charlie Sheen: this is what WINNING looks like.

Dude is making the most of his time in the sun, as long as he doesn't do anything too crazy or illegal, more power to 'em.

As long as he doesn't start hanging out with Charlie Sheen, he should be ok.

Love the guy, but he is dumber than a box of rocks. It's really quite amazing hearing him speak.

I'm pretty sure that would be crazy and illegal, so I've already covered that .

Meanwhile photos of a naked Prince Harry with a naked woman companion in Vegas are front page in England

if he is as dumb as he sounds. Money can't buy happiness and it certainly can't buy you a brain. As the great, scholar comedian Ron White says, "You can't fix stupid".

Actually, no.

The British press are actually banned from showing the TMZ-purchased photos because they were taken in private, in the prince's hotel room.

Yes, it makes no sense in this day and age. (Thank god we live in America!)

While millions of people around the world have been able to view the naked images of Prince Harry cavorting with girls in a Las Vegas hotel online, the photographs have been banned in Britain by a furious Royal Family.

British newspapers and TV stations have been unable to show the pictures after Harry's father Prince Charles threatened legal action and St James’s Palace warned that the pictures were a gross invasion of the young royal's privacy.

Minutes after naked images of Prince Harry appeared on entertainment site TMZ, they were also available to millions of internet users around the world – including those in Britain.

So while most British newspapers had the Harry story on the front page, none actually showed the images.

Here's a rundown of all the British newspaper front pages from today.

Murdoch's The Sun actually got around the ban by having an actor re-enact the photos -- CLICK HERE.

but money does buy lamborghinis, nice suits, top shelf liquor and drugs... and if you can convince a few girls to come along for the ride, that does sound roughly substitutable for true happiness.

I wouldn't mind having that dude's money, but not his fame. He's becoming known for all the wrong things and could end up a punchline, gold medals or not.

And if he really is dumb as rocks, he might blow all that money (see Hammer, MC) or even do something that scares away some of those endorsements, as in the ones he doesn't have yet.

Meanwhile, our own Nathan Adrian is showing everyone how to handle post Olympic-fame with class.
:gobears:

For as good a swimmer as he's been, for as long as he's been doing it, he's been in the shadow of Phelps. It must be refreshing to finally be getting the attention that a guy with that many Olympic medals deserves. Who cares if he's oversaturating during his long-awaited 15 minutes?

Then, yes, you're right. What was I thinking.

82grad is right. Dude's interviews are pretty funny (but not in a "we're laughing with you" kinda way).

As a friend of mine from Louisiana says "dumb as a bag of hammers".

He needs to get while the getting is good...

In two years, no one will give a damn about him unless he stays up front, and in 4 year no one will remember his name unless he is expected to win a mess of gold again.

When you swim 10,000-15,000 yds a day for years you are either stupid, or you become stupid..unless you went to Cal!!!

Somebody please take this thread down a political path so it disappears --- quickly, please.
