LOS ANGELES (AP) — He does comedy, writes books, and mixes it up with the hottest stars in music and Hollywood. With all this, who needs swimming?
Certainly not Michael Phelps — not anymore, at least. But as a presenter at the 2008 Video Music Awards, all that fresh Olympic bling will certainly help.
The swimmer who took home a record-breaking eight gold medals from the Beijing Games will join Miley Cyrus, Scarlett Johansson, Lindsay Lohan, Ciara and others as presenters at the Sept. 7 VMAs telecast from Los Angeles. British comedian Russell Brand will host.
It was a busy week for Phelps, who announced he'll write a book about his road to Olympic history (to be released in time for the holidays) and plans to host the season premiere of "Saturday Night Live." On Thursday, he was in New York City, filming a cameo for the HBO series "Entourage."
