Lindsay LohanIn between exchanging words with her dad this week, Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been exchanging communiques with another Michael - Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps.

A source close to Phelps, who won eight gold medals at the games earlier this month, told the Mirror: “At first he thought it was a joke when she got in touch.

“But she’s since been phoning and texting constantly. It’s become a running joke in his camp.

“Lindsay has been trying to meet up with him. They’re both going to the MTV Video Music Awards next month so they’ll be sure to see each other properly then.

“Phelps is certainly flattered by all the attention but it’s not clear how seriously he’s taking it all.”
