Michael Phelps is getting more Hollywood by the day, AP reports: The swimming star yesterday filmed a cameo spot for the show-biz-centric HBO series Entourage, and will be a presenter at MTV’s Video Music Awards on Sept. 7 (six days before he hosts Saturday Night Live). And, the Daily Mirror adds, starlet Lindsay Lohan has been calling and texting the Olympian with requests for a date.

“At first he thought it was a joke when she got in touch,” a source tells the Mirror of Lohan’s barrage. “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. Phelps is certainly flattered by all the attention but it's not clear how seriously he's taking it all.” (More Michael Phelps stories.)
