Evan Lysacek to be on Dancing with the Stars; read Top Ten List Tonight

Evan Lysacek has been named to the next cast of "Dancing with the Stars" on ABC.  The show starts on March 22 on ABC.  I am surprised that Lysacek signed on to do this so quickly after his gold medal win, because doesn't he have to do Stars on Ice?  Which is touring...like right after worlds...which is at the end of March?  We'll see how that all works itself out. I also thought Lysacek might wait a bit longer until he's not in the news so much and then thrust himself back into the spotlight with this show.  But I was wrong!  The man wants to ballroom dance and will not be denied!

Needless to say, I will be recapping Lysacek's every tango and foxtrot, as I did for Kristi Yamaguchi when she was on the show.

Much more importantly, the figure skating world championships start competition on March 23, and I will blogging all about it!  Lysacek will not be there.

Lysacek is also reading David Letterman's Top Ten list this evening.

Johnny on Larry King

I just hated how Larry King baited Johnny about Dancing With the Stars last night. He asked Johnny if he would like to do the show and then, after Johnny said he would, Larry said Evan would be doing it. Johnny handled it with grace, and said he was sure Evan would do great. How tacky of Regis.

Oops, i’m watching Johnny on Regis right now. I meant Larry.

so rude!

What a waste of interview time with Johnny Weir, to try to bait him with Lysacek’s gig.

Weir will be at the world championships instead, not too bad. I assume he can get himself on DWTS (if he wants to) one day – they’ve had so many NFL players, it’s not bad to have a lot of figure skaters, too!

Evan's partner is Anna

I’m worried she’s a little short for him – I thought he’d be better matched with Edtya.

Plus I really want Edtya to win one of these seasons!
