Is Brittny Gastineau Dating Michael Phelps?

Here are two C-list celebrities that you haven't thought about in quite some time: Olympic super-star swimmer Michael Phelps (who famously took home 16 Olympic medals in 2004 and 2008) and socialite/model Brittny Gastineau (who's best known for starring on a reality TV show, The Gastineau Girls, with her mom and for taking home...16 men? We kid, we kid.)

All jokes aside, Michael and Brittny are reportedly dating, claims HollywoodLife.com. The couple was photographed, hanging out at the Mondrian Hotel in Los Angeles on Friday night and were supposedly "very cozy" together, says a source. The following morning, they were spotted again at the Grove, which, for you, non-Angelenos, is essentially a giant, outdoor mall.

Although TMZ caught Brittny sucking down what looked like a Starbucks grande latte, unfortunately, they couldn't get any info out of her, such as how long she and Michael have been seeing each other, and what on earth do they have in common?

The last person Michael, 25, was previously linked to was former Miss California Carrie Prejean, which makes us think that he's drawn to scandal, but we can't think of any controversies that 28-year-old Brittny has ever got herself into. In fact, since The Gastineau Girls has gone off the air, Brittny has been leading a scandal-free life, designing jewelry and appearing on other reality shows. The worse thing you could possibly say about her is that she is friends with the Kardashian sisters.

Oh, well. Sadly, not every couple can be prone to drama. If Michael and Brittny want to lead their romance the way they lead their squeaky-clean lives, then so be it! But, we're still holding out that they'll have a messy breakup down the road.
