Stars On Ice, the touring show that lets its skaters be as creative and flamboyant as they want, has turned down Johnny Weir. GLAAD says it's because of his sexual orientation. We say it's because they can't handle the fabulousness. More »

An occasional series in which we document — and evaluate — the sports media's pained efforts to call the sexually undeclared figure skater gay without quite calling him gay. More »

We've always had some fun with "flamboyant" and "unconventional" men's figure skater Johnny Weir around here; during the Olympics, we found him one of the few high-profile athletes with legitimate personality. (Or "flair," if you will.) More »

Eventually, yes, the Johnny Weir posts will stop. But not today. I think I might be developing a crush on the guy, and I'm not even gay. More »

Done in by a bus schedule. That is the unfortunate conclusion to the 2006 Torino Games for Johnny Weir, who, as one alert reader points out, looks kinda like Quin Snyder without the impeccable hair care. Here's Johnny, after his 5th place performance: More »

From what we've heard( and according to the time), Johnny Weir ate it during this afternoon's free skate competition. The "very, very flexible" Weir sat in second position at the start of the day and now sits at...5th. Sigh. God, who didn't hope for a pink Wheaties box invading supermarkets in the near future? 2010 then! More »

The Johnny Weir Pretty Parade continues its assault on the American media psyche and this time has swallowed up former NFL return man Vai Sikahema. In what has to be the unlikeliest of pairings, Sikahema, reporting from Torino for Philadelphia news station NBC 10, went shopping with Weir as part of his hard-hitting Olympic coverage.

Some quotables from his report: More »

So we'll confess: We missed what appears to be a legendary performance by figure skater Johnny Weir last night. We don't mean on the ice, of course, though he is in second place after the short program. We mean during his interviews, in which Weir preened and vowed that he is not a diva, while wearing Southeast Jerome sunglasses and wearing a CCCP sweatshirt. He was In fact, he's rocking the establishment in a truly FAB-u-LOUS! way. More »

Because we have this fear that the Olympics is going to last two weeks and we're not going to understand a single thing that's happening, we've decided to ride this Johnny Weir fellow for a while. (So to speak.) More »
