THE GREATEST SHOW ON ICE

It's Official: Johnny Weir's A Little Monster

By Elizabeth C.

Johnny soaking in bubblesOOOH LOOKIE! REALITY TV STAR AND SKATING CHAMP JOHNNY WEIRD is one of Lady Gaga's little monsters.

Actually, it's Weir, but you just know he's spent his whole life with that 'd' appendage. Maybe that's why he identifies with the Lady G, who is rumored to have an extra accessory of her own. The Olympic skater even sat next to Stefani's mom at a recent concert in New York City.

Chalk up another gay for GaGa, despite what Johnny will or won't say.

But he doesn't have to say much when Be Good Johnny Weir, airing Mondays at 10:30pm (Eastern) on Sundance, shows the skating queen bubble-bathing and lolling in bed with his ''best friend" Paris.

While the series' promos exploit Johnny's queertiness, its main course delivers a portrait "of a moody and driven man on a mission, one who acts the way he wants to act and talks the way he wants to talk because he ultimately trusts his skating to speak for itself,'' according to Gawker.

Despite his penchant for glittery garb, and his spread in Blackbook in heels and makeup, the glamorous 25-year-old Johnny has happily kept people guessing about his sexuality.

"There are some things I keep sacred,'' the 25-year-old World bronze medalist told the New York Times. "My middle name. Who I sleep with. And what kind of hand moisturizer I use…."

Why bother saying it aloud when you have a reality TV show to announce it to the world for you?

Johnny has mused on his website: "I don't feel the need to express my sexual being because it's not part of my sport and it's private. I can sleep with whomever I choose. And it doesn't affect what I'm doing on the ice, so speculation is speculation. I like nice things, and beautiful things, so if that is the only way people are determining that I swing one way or the other, then to me, that's sad."

Oh, Johnny, you're such a tease. What else are we to think when you confide that "sable," strawberries, Kathy Griffin and full moons are among your favorite things?

Look forward to him grabbing lots of headlines as he skates for the U.S in the upcoming Vancouver Olympics.
