It’s not like Johnny Weir ever expected to be invited to Smuckers’ Stars On Ice tour, so the fact that, once again he wasn’t … well, that was no biggy to the figure skater. But then you people made a stink about whether he’s been blacklisted for not being “family friendly,” and it made him wonder.

He is so great. Being himself. Bravo.

I saw Johnny qWeir on Joy Behar discussing the same, and he was pretty right on. Said he never was invited before and didn’t expect to be this time around, even when he was ranked number one……..It is more than obvious that Smuckers can now be refered to as Suckassers because someone from their camp made the declaration that Johnny qWeir was not “family friendley” which bascially means Smuuckers doesn’t want anyone who puckers on a penis……..

NO MORE JOHNNY ?????
I believe Johnny is scheduled to appear on the late night Lopez evening talk show on cable this Thursday for a return visit to speak on this “family friendly” issue.
You got to hand it to him — he sure knows how to stretch out the 15 minutes of fame — who is Johnny’s P/R Agency firm — I want to sign up with them !!!
Also — Johnny be Good show ends tonight on the Sundance Channel.
What are we going to do without our weekly Johnny Weir fix when all of the Winter Olympic post bomb dust finally settles ????
(Well, at least the irrevelent “Nurse Jackie” is back on Showtime !!!)
GOOD LUCK WITH THE NEXT CHAPTER, JOHNNY !!

LOL! Well alrighty then…
That was weird, in a sort of an “Elephant-in-the-room” way.

Smuckers don’t want no one who puckers on a penis!!! : p

Wish only the best for him. Whatever he does, hope he makes enough money to take care of his mom.

Me, I’d find a PR company that could post effusive comments that sounded like they came from real people.

I read that the reason he wasn’t invited was because he didn’t place high enough at the Olympics or win a medal not because he wasn’t family friendly. In other words, he wasn’t enough of a star. Now he may think he is a star just because he is well known and on tv all the time but for most people to be a star you have to accomplish something great.
To determine if they are being fair to him or discriminating, I’d like to know if they invited the U.S. female figure skaters who also failed to win a medal at the Olympics.

Johnny’s placing at the Olympics has nothing to do with SOI not inviting him to skate in their shows. Evan Lysacek was invited before theOlys, Jeremy Abbot was invited after the Olys and he scored lower than Johnny.
