YOUR FRIENDS' ACTIVITY

    New York, Aug 9 (ANI): With endorsement deals already in the bag, it may seem that Ryan Lochte barely has room to add more.

    However, the Olympic swimming champ's agent has revealed that he has been fielding multiple reality TV show offers.

    "I cannot tell you the exact shows, but two different reality show concepts have been offered and one additional is being discussed," the New York Daily News quoted Erika Wright as telling the Hollywood Reporter.

    Wright said that Lochte, who took home five medals in this year's Olympic Games in London, is also being hit with so many endorsement deals he has "little room for adding more."

    "I can say things have been quite busy for team Lochte, heating up fast and furious since the Olympics," she said.

    Wright added that Lochte is also being recruited for fashion lines.

    Will Ferrell wants the sexy swimmer to appear in one of his FunnyOrDie videos, and Lochte himself has expressed interest in joining 'Dancing with the Stars' - even suggesting he face off on the ABC show against rival and US teammate Michael Phelps.

    Questionable publicity - from his mother's comment about her son's "one-night stands" to his own admission that he pees in the pool - haven't seemed to harm Lochte's dreamboat image.

    Fortune Magazine estimates the Rochester, New York native made about 2.3 million dollars in endorsements in the past year.

    Lochte's deals include Speedo, Gillette, Proctor and Gamble, Ralph Lauren, Nissan and AT and T.

    "He has this Kanye West-like persona in terms of attention," Jesse Ryback of Premier Partnerships said. "That makes him even more memorable." (ANI)

But it really served as an introduction for the next king of the remote control throne. No, seriously, look closer: they made a spot-on reproduction of the iron throne, but with television remotes. It turns out the world of late night television, especially at NBC, is a lot like Game of Thrones. There are arguments, back room dealings and a murky line of succession often corrupted by ego. ...
