Matthew Mitcham Medals At World Championships, Grant Nel, Glee Cast Comes Out For OutFest, Channing Tatum, John Barrowman, Grace Jones, Heidi Klum

Olympic gold medal winner Matthew Mitcham is in the hunt for a trifecta of medals in three different events at the 2009 FINA World Championships in Rome, Italy, winning his first medal Saturday in the 1 meter springboard, earning it “a huge surprise” to Mitcham whose skill in springboard diving is a recent development, and not an event that Matthew favors. Mitcham dives next in the ten meter competition, beginning Tuesday, which he is favored in, and then the 3 meter. No diver has ever medaled in three different diving events at one competition.

Mitcham, as I had previously posted, has a new synchronized diving partner, Grant Nel.

The cast of Ryan Murphy’s Glee was on hand Saturday in Los Angeles at the city’s gay and lesbian film festival, formally known as OutFest, including Jane Lynch, Lea Michele, Cory Montheith, Matthew Morrison, and Chris Colfer, who seems poised to the show’s breakout star, amid fierce competition. The series debuts September 16th, on FOX.

GQ cover boy and newlywed Channing Tatum, in Sydney, Australia, out and about with wife Jenna Dewan, on hand for a screening of his new film G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra.

Hall of Fame DILF and Torchwood star John Barrowman, filming an episode for the British series Fifth Gear, survived “a terrifying high-speed” car crash when the Subaru he was driving rolled four times. Barrowman, who was treated at the scene and did not suffer any injuries, said he “was lucky to walk unscathed,” but that he received a “ticking off” from his mother later.

Grace Jones appeared at the Stuttgart Jazz Open and at the Latitude Festival, as always, larger than life.

Pregnant Project Runway host Heidi Klum, out and about in New York City, with her child at their West Village neighborhood playground, enjoying a mid-summer’s day, however, according to the New York Post’s Page Six via Time Out, the scene was anything but idyll, as the paparazzi were “attacked” by hoards of parents and their children throwing water balloons in an effect to drive the photographers away. Only in New York kids, only in New York.
