As I will probably be posting more information about this flawed genius, as I like him. I feel a thread in his honour is deserving.
Johnny Weir interview with George Lopez - best ever!(from lifeskate)
Last night Johnny Weir appeared on the George Lopez show and it was HILARIOUS! There's something about the rapport between Johnny and George that was different from the other shows that Johnny's been on. So far, he's made the media rounds with Joy Behar, Bonnie Hunt, a little with Larry King, Access Hollywood, etc., but George Lopez was the best one by far. The interview was taped last week and then the controversy ensued regarding Johnny and the Smucker's Stars On Ice tour.
To briefly recap, GLADD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) alleged that Stars On Ice (SOI) did not invite Johnny to perform because he was gay and not "family-friendly." SOI then issued a statement declaring that the reason he was not invited was that they had enough star power in the lineup, including Evan Lysacek and Sasha Cohen. Johnny will return to the Lopez show on Thursday, March 25, at 11 p.m. ET on TBS to address the controversy. Here's Johnny interview from last night:
