It's your Auntie Answer B!tch here with an update on the Carrie Prejean-Michael Phelps possible...relationship...thing.

Just days after Prejean's grandmother confirmed that the swimmer-slash-bong-toker is dating our champion of Opposite Marriage—as well as new reports of at least one very friendly weekend in Vegas—now comes brand-spankin'-new information just relayed to me from Camp Prejean. See if you can decipher this:

"They're just friends," a spokeswoman tells me. But then she adds, "It's very casual, nothing serious between them."

Right. So they're friends. Who, yet, see each other often enough to have a category: casual. Which is it, for the love of Phelps!?

When asked for clarification, I was told that the "just friends" part is the most representative. So. Just friends it is. At least, this week.
