Looking at the skaters Stars on Ice have for 2010 tour and seeing the US 2010 Olympians are on the tour, but Johnny Weir who was on the US team too was left off - just can not believe SOI sending emails they can not sign every skater and advertisers say Johnny isn't family friendly - he has a huge fan base that would buy tickets.

Johnny Weir may be a figure skating champion, reality TV personality and an outspoken character, but he's still got big plans ahead of him.

"I really want to produce my own shows and my own tour," he told NBC Chicago. "I want Lady Gaga performing live [and] Elton John tinkering on a piano."

Weir complements his undeniable talent with a definite flair for the dramatic. He placed 6th at the Vancouver 2010 Games and became one of the most talked about skaters in the world.

Some critics argued his skating was too feminine, with one commentator saying Weir should get a gender test.

"That hurts me, but if I can in anyway help the next generation of kids that want to go out there, and not fit to a cookie cutter idea of what a normal person is, or how somebody should act in a certain situation, then I'll do it," he said.

Weir was not invited to go on tour with the Stars on Ice this year, and many of his fans believe it's because of his perceived sexual orientation.

"I've never been invited to be a part of Stars on Ice, so it wasn't necessarily a shock," he said.

As for the 2014 Olympics in Russia, Weir -- who speaks fluent Russian -- said he would love to be there.

"It would be really a dream come true," Weir said.

Olympic figure skater and reality TV star Johnny Weir is one of the judges on Miss USA this Sun, May 16 if any of the women want Johnny to vote for them - they should speak Russian, you wear outrageous stuff like leopard print and feathers and do NOT say you have a crush on Evan Lysacek.

      Why did Ari call the Brady Pub one of her family’s favorite places when literally it’s her family’s establishment. Her great grandpa Roman literally runs it.    Also it’s a little creepy that D3 is only interested in high school chicks when I’m sure he’s in his 20’s at this point, at least legal age.

      So I couldn’t resist and skipped ahead to Monday of this week. Just wow. One of the best most emotional episodes I’ve ever seen of Days. All of the actors truly brought it.    Marlena in the chapel is what almost broke me. Also loved the slow cinematography going around the candles. When the show tries, even with budget constraints it can still look interesting. I wish the show did have some sort of filter though to counterbalance the HD cameras used now. Xander being a villain again works perfectly for me. Loved those scenes with him vs Maggie who has always given Xander a million passes. Paul talking about the other kids and then the flashback to pride

      .    Honestly I loved allll of the flashbacks used for Monday. Even the Devil storyline was referenced but actually seriously. Days proved on Monday what an absolutely underrated cast they have. John’s wishes were to fight

      Frances Fisher said on The Locher Room interview that she really did not remember her time on GL since it was so short (she was talking more about Edge of Night)-but she did mention that she went out with Vincent (Lujack!).  I think he also dated Kristi Ferrell (Roxie) around this time as well

      I’d watch the episode where Xander beats ups Philip and go from there. There’s probably been one or two dull episodes but the rest have been well written and put together, especially the Xander and Sarah showdown.

      The good thing about those ATWT openings is that they rotated the characters. The flaw in the Hold on to Love opening is that it was so stagnant, and rarely if ever changed. That ATWT version had at least three different versions, and sometimes you got the opening, sometimes you got the clean up spot, and sometimes you got the short dot-dot-dot spots.  Ugh..the hands opening was about 2007 and was the actors putting their hands in a circle (I was waiting for them to yell "go team!") as a poem was recited. It looks like fifth grade media students came up with it. See---no one wants you to forget Vanessa's a Chamberlain. It was so embedded in the character, it never quite sounded right to leave out her maiden name. And if she wasn't reminding people she was a Chamberlain and not to be trifled with, other characters would throw it out there. Once (and I think it's during the Slut of Springfield debacle) Alex says something like "poor Vanessa--she's still a Chamberlain at heart after all".  Although I can't recall her ever being credited as Vanessa Chamberlain Lewis. And thank God we never had to contemplate "Vanessa Reade". I swear half the time that marriage fell through was that someone shivered at the thought at having ten characters a day say "Vanessa Reade". I'd have to check on if they used C. Blake Thorpe a lot.  I  Anyone would've been better than Calla.

      They should have paired him with Suzette, or Suzanne, whatever. Jerry and Frances Fisher feel like a natural duo.

      This was one of my favorite soap friendships of all time. Mishael and Gina had AMAZING friendship chemistry. And Phyllis at that time was exactly the friend Hilary needed. God why did you have to remind me what we lost

      Tracy was handing Anita the business today and I was here for it! Martin and Smitty’s daughter looks like she’s related to the son’s love interest I really enjoy Martin and Smitty together now that the two actors are much more comfortable in their roles. Just wanted to add I love how Vernon is written and portrayed as opposed to the Victor Newmans, Kiriakis, and Stefano’s were written. It’s nice to see a patriarch that actually loves their family.
