Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan, who is widely touted to marry her girl pal DJ Samantha Ronson sometime soon, is of late heard to be begging Beijing Olympics superstar Michael Phelps out for a date. Lohan is leaving no stone unturned to land the opportunity, says sources.

However, one also gets to hear that the 23 year-old American swimming sensation is not showing much interest in the proposal. A source was quoted in Britain's Daily Mirror as saying, 'At first he thought it was a joke when she got in touch. But she's since been phoning and texting constantly. It's become a running joke in his camp.'

Despite the lack of interest, it is not for long that Michael Phelps can avoid Lindsay Lohan as both will be attending the MTV Video Music Awards next month. Lohan is sure to catch up on him then. 'Phelps is certainly flattered by all the attention but it's not clear how seriously he's taking it all,' the source added.
