Imagine It With Knives On Their Feet

I checked out the promo for Skating With The Stars again, I recognized a few more of the pros:

Definitely Denis Petukhov, plus Keana McLaughlin and Brooke Castile. Anyone else recognize the others?

I've heard some buzz all along that Johnny Weir will be one of the judges. If so, that seems like an appropriate spot for him. I hope he can get some "vodka shot and a snort of coke" comments in. That will be fabulous.

So the D-list celebs get five weeks of practice prior to the show, but a requirement for participation was an ability to skate forward and backward according to the show's senior producer, Deena Katz.

Skating backgrounds uncovered:
Vince Neil - Skated when he was twelve. Here's hoping we see pre-metal spandex on a pre-teen in pictures.
Rebecca Budig - Brought her own skates to the first practice and took lessons as a kid. Is she an SP-Teri gal? Riedell? Harlicks maybe?
Brandon Mychal Smith - Calls himself "Black Kwan," a.k.a. Michelle Kwan's black brother

It still may be a train wreck even with Michelle's black brother making his public debut, but I'll watch a few times. I like what Jimmy Kimmel says, "If you like Dancing With The Stars, imagine it with knives on their feet."
