One of the stars of the US Olympic swim team has his mankini in a bunch over his image -- and no, it's not Michael Phelps.

Aaron Peirsol, who was the backstroking part of that awesome gold medal winning 4x100 meter medley team in the '08 games, is suing a marketing company who allegedly used his image in swimwear ads without proper permission.

In a lawsuit filed last week in Orange County, Peirsol claims the marketing company placed the ads in Swimming World Magazine and USMS Magazine, knowing the magazines would be heavily distributed in Orange County -- Aaron's hometown.

Peirsol is suing for licensing fees, attorney fees, and punitive damages.

Kidding! Just jokes people -- but on his way out of The Grove shopping center in Los Angeles, baseball's 45 million dollar man was talkin' money with us ... we think.

Most of the conversation was in Spanish, and the only thing our guy could muster up was something about the "baño."

Golic is still on the company's website as a "Celebrity Success Story." We're guessing that could change shortly.

There must be something in the water in the NFL. Cleveland police say Buffalo Bills player Donte Whitner had to be shocked with a stun gun and arrested early this morning.

Officers were at the House of Blues trying to control a rowdy crowd outside the club, when the defensive back acted like he was on the field and forced his way past them and then broke free from officers trying to restrain him.

Hours after Charlie Villanueva dropped 18 points against the Detroit Pistons last year, the Milwaukee Bucks power forward allegedly dropped an ass-whooping on some guy in a bar fight -- so says a brand new lawsuit.

The 6'11," 240 pound professional basketball player has been accused of launching a "completely unprovoked" attack on Daniel Fischer at a Milwaukee nightclub last February.

In the suit, filed yesterday in Milwaukee, Fischer claims Villanueva beat him up so badly, the guy "will continue to suffer from pain, suffering and disability for the rest of his life." Can you suffer from suffering?
