Phelps will make millions in endorsements: With Phelps winning a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics, he is set to bring in possibly tens of millions of dollars in endorsements each year. "Michael came out of the Athens Games an American sports hero," said Michael Lynch, head of global sponsorship management at Visa. "He's coming out of these games a global sports icon." Phelps could shortly be placed in the same realm as soccer star David Beckham and golfer Tiger Woods.
Couple says cop who pulled them over killed dog: Michael Gonzalez and his girlfriend are demanding a policeman be fired after they were pulled over along a Texas road, as they were speeding to get to a hospital to save their dying dog.

Caylee's mom may be released: Three bail bondsmen from California have flown to Orlando, Florida to help Casey Anthony get out of jail. Casey's attorney called the men to help pay the $500,00 required for her release. Casey Anthony -- who has been jailed since July 16 on charges of child neglect, lying to authorities, and obstructing an investigation -- still must adhere to certain rules if she is released. According to bounty hunter Leonard Padilla: "I somewhat believe that, in her own mind, the mother has given up some truths in the statements she has made. It hasn't worked for 30 days, so let's try something different." If Casey is released, she must wear an electric monitoring device.
