OBAMA PHONED TO CONGRATULATE MICHAEL PHELPS

When swimmer Michael Phelps won a gold medal on Monday he became the athlete with the most Olympic medals in history.

In his cabinet are 15 gold medals, two silver and two bronze. Not bad for someone who's only 27!

And it's not just fellow athletes and fans who are impressed. The President of the United States decided to pick up the phone to congratulate him.

Afterwards, Phelps described the moment he got the phone call.

"The craziest thing was just when I answered the phone and they were like, 'Michael?', and I said 'Yes'. They said, 'Please hold for the President of the United States', and I was like, 'OK!'

"He just got on and was saying how everyone is supporting me and is behind me at home and how proud everyone is of me. That was pretty cool.

"And he finished by saying, 'Make sure you tell your mom I said hi' - it was a good call."

TOPLESS WOMEN PROTEST HITS OLYMPICS

Two topless women painted with the slogans "Olympic shame" and "No Sharia" protested in front of London's City Hall on Thursday to draw attention to what they called "bloody Islamist regimes" taking part in the Olympics.

They were members of Ukrainian women's rights group Femen, which has staged numerous topless protests across Europe, including at the Euro 2012 tournament in Poland and Ukraine where their concern was prostitution in host cities.

"The regimes are fascists of our time, they treat women like third-class citizens," said protester Reza Moradi, without specifying any countries. "This is what we object to, this is what they are protesting against."

Smeared with fake blood and wearing floral wreaths on their heads, the two topless women ran around the entrance of City Hall in central London for around 10 minutes chased by a third protester before being covered up and led away by police officers.

A spokeswoman for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) had no immediate comment.
