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.

:unsure:

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.
