Evan Lysacek Talks to Movieline About Dancing with the Stars and Johnny Weir’s Opinions

In 2010, an Olympic gold medal in figure skating qualifies you for two distinctions: 1) undisputed world champion; 2) salsa-dancing wannabe — at least in the eyes of Dancing with the Stars ‘s judging panel. Evan Lysacek may have cleaned up in Vancouver last February against ferocious competitors Johnny Weir and Russia’s hilarious Evgeni Plushenko , but he’s just as vulnerable to America’s vote on DWTS ‘s 10th season. Last week the 24-year-old athlete suffered a slight concussion when preparing to samba with partner Anna Trebunskaya, recovering enough to earn a score of 21, his lowest yet. Just yesterday, he triumphed with a perfect 30 during his Argentine Tango. It appears Lysacek is back in the game. Movieline caught up with the gold medalist last week to discuss Dancing with the Stars , transitioning into acting roles, and Johnny Weir’s pesky snipes.

Introducing Evan Lysacek, Actor

As anyone who’s caught Kerri Strug’s softcore erotic thrillers can attest, becoming an Olympic champion doesn’t automatically confer acting chops. Here then, is a delightful exception, a short film that features figure skating gold medalist and Dancing with Stars contender Evan Lysacek as “Vladimir Plushenko” ( certainly not based in any way on his rival, Evgeni Plushenko). As you’ll see, Lysacek ably demonstrates his range, acting in an accent other than his own and a skin color other than his native tangerine. If he could simply fake an orgasm at a level half as convincing as Johnny Weir , we could crown ourselves a new champ. Video, after the jump:

Dancing With the Stars About to Freeze Over

Do Female Figure Skaters’ Boobs Get Sore? [Olympic Mysteries]

Olympic women spun, leaped, and flying cameled their way to the figure skating podium last night, but with all those plunging backs and necklines (not to mention visible nipples) all I could think was, Where does the bra go? Not to be a total perv, but look at these costumes. Illusion netting may cover a multitude of sins, but I’m pretty sure these ladies are not wearing bras. If there’s some sort of slipped-down-the-front floating-cup situation going on, rest assured it is not of the heavy duty sports bra variety that even a casual jogger would be a fool to go without. After all that jumping and contorting at high speeds, shouldn’t their boobs be sore? Point : Braless running down stairs is enough to make a mortal woman cringe. This is clearly more rigorous. Counterpoint : They regularly crash into hard surfaces at 30mph. They can probably handle a little pain. Point : Did you see Mao Asada ‘s triple axel? Counterpoint : They’re only on the ice for four minutes at a time. Point : With all those cut-outs, there isn’t even room for built-in reinforcement. Counterpoint : Those bodies aren’t exactly the type that gets floppy. Counterpoint : Centripetal force is on their side during spins. Point : Oh no. Why is Miki Ando ‘s top pointing at her nipples like that? Counterpoint : It’s the Olympics, so suck it up. Besides, did you see Cynthia Phaneuf ‘s earrings? She’s probably too busy worrying about tearing an earlobe to give her breasts a second thought.

Shenae Grimes is Not Hot Even When Showing Off Bra of the Day

I unfortunately live in Canada, the home of the 2010 Olympic games, which you may know about, because if you were like me and drinking your face off in a bar last night you would have seen that Figure Skating has got a lot more faggot that it used to be. Sure, figure skating was always pretty fucking faggot and a solid 90% of men involved in the sport were taking it in the ass and mouth on their spare time and the other 10% were just victims to really controlling mother’s who wanted a daughter but God spited them and they weren’t going to let that get in the way of their figure skating dream, but now the 90% of the guys who are gay, are real fuckin’ gay, I’m talking Adam Lambert getting fucked by a twink in pantyhose gay…. Not that that matters, but Shenae Grimes is Canadian and when the bitch got her gig in 90210 the Canadian media ate her the fuck up and I never got it, I thought bitch was ugly, so lucky for me, 90210 gave us AnnaLynne McCord to distract from this Shenae everyone loved, despite her stupid name, so when I saw these pictures, I had to to post the shit cuz she’s fuckin’ ugly no matter how much fancy lingerie she teases with… Pics via PacificCoastNews
