Amber Lancaster, FNL's Zach Gilford dating: Hot Clicks

I was lucky enough to interview Derek Jeter yesterday for the third time since last July. As always, I tried to get the Yankees shortstop to give us one little nugget on Hot Clicks Nation (yes, I'm creating a Nation since everyone else is) favorite, Minka Kelly. Of course Jeter wouldn't bite, but he was still a good sport about me badgering him with questions about the Friday Night Lights star. Speaking of Friday Night Lights, Keith, of Jacksonville, Fla, wrote in to say "You always reference Minka Kelly from FNL, but after watching Zach Gilford's girlfriend, Amber Lancaster, on the Super Bowl Celebrity Beach Bowl I believe you should show her off a little too." I can't find anything that confirms they're dating (although this picture and this page helps), but I've always thought Gilford, who plays Matt Saracen, was the second-best actor on that show, right after Kyle Chandler. And now, we have even more reason to be in awe of Gilford.

UPDATE, 12:16 pm: The latest issue of ESPN the Magazine features a contest between Lancaster and FNL's Jesse Plemons (Landry) to see who knows Gilford better, so they are indeed dating.

It's amazing to see how much the blogosphere can get out of one picture. But that's what's happening with the now-famous Michael Phelps bong-hit-seen-'round-the-world pic. While Phelps is trying to get back to swimming, we have this song, titled Swim Stoned, we have the Top 10 Michael Phelps Replacement Sponsors (which features some great Photoshop work) and we have even more great Photoshops here and here.

If you happen to have 10,115 thumbtacks laying around, you can make an awesome mosaic of Cal Ripken.

Last week, we mentioned a petition that was supposed to get G4TV host Olivia Munn to dive into a gigantic pie. Well, Kane, of Knox City, Mo., says "Follow up on the pie dive, they received more than 60,000 signatures. Thanks to Jimmy for putting it in Hot Clicks, and all the Hot Clicks readers who made it possible. He is the link to Olivia Munn's pie dive in a French maid outfit." Shaun Dias, of Toronto, Russell, of Norwalk, Iowa, Philip, of Charlotte, N.C., and John Nguyen, of Minnetonka, Minn., also sent this link. Good job Hot Clicks Nation. Also, Travis, of Chicago, alerts us to a twist on the Bacon Explosion featured in Friday's Hot Clicks -- add cheese. And tons of you sent in this link, which features many of the pictures that were used in the Laura Leigh video that was in yesterday's Hot Clicks.
