In the photo at right, our favorite homo figure skater is waving as he shows off a sneak preview of the Heatherette Spring 2007 collection. We hear it's all about birds. And glamour. And sparkles. And Tori Spelling.

Just kidding, except about the Tori Spelling part. That outfit is his "swan costume" from a while ago. But Johnny Weir will be making his debut on the catwalk in September as part of the Heatherette runway show during New York Fashion Week. We assume he will be wearing pieces from the menswear line, but when we consider his upcoming spread in Blackbook that features him in some frou-frou Chanel dresses, we can't really say for certain.

Ready to Weir [New, Now, Next]

Two professional figure skaters have been banned from the Berkeley Iceland skating rink, after practicing together for the upcoming Gay Games in Chicago. They have filed suit against the rink, saying they were kicked off the ice because of their sexual orientation.

According to Courthouse News, "Alan Lessik and John Manson-Santoa claim they were barred in violation of a Berkeley ordinance because the rink manager, Monte Tiedemann, objected to the skating while holding hands, which is an integral part of any pairs routine."

We at Queerty are incensed at the arrogance of Lessik and Manson-Santoa, thinking they can just throw open the closet doors and expose the secretive world of gay figure skating. With macho routines like this and the sport's superstars doing such a good job of concealing their sexual orientation, it's best to keep these issues a secret.
