First came reports that Lindsay Lohan has been pitching woo at the swimming phenom. And now, according to the National Enquirer, American Idol season 4 winner Carrie Underwood has been putting the moves on dolphin-man.

Sources say that the two have been texting each other like crazy, and have made tentative plans for a "quiet first date" in the Nashville area, where Underwood resides.

Phelps does have one caveat about the prospective hook-up: "I'm not so sure you'd want to see me eat!" the water god warned Carrie. "It might not make a great first impression."

Yeah, well, he might have a point there.

With Underwood's romantic attention diverted, at least Jessica Simpson can rest easy—for now. But Phelps shouldn't get too excited about the whole thing: a text message from Carrie Underwood isn't always a cause for celebration.
