Michael Phelps Superstar

THERE are stars. There are superstars. And there is Michael Phelps . The golden boy of the Olympics, who will host “Saturday Night Live” this weekend, caused near-hysteria at Blue Ribbon Sushi in Midtown on Wednesday night. “It was funny to see jaded New Yorkers, who always see celebs around town, act like excited schoolkids,” said one witness. “People kept sending over bottles of champagne and sake! Never seen anything like it.” Phelps graciously downed the refreshments with his table mates. “He is a remarkably down-to-earth guy, very regular guyish,” said our source.
