Johnny Weir Guest Stars On 'Dora The Explorer'

[sk8ing mom]

My kids just watched the Dora the Explorer Skating Spectacular (even though they are a bit past the target demographic) in the hope they would see Johnny Weir, and I watched part of it. We were all very disappointed - Johnny did not make it into the actual special! (On the plus side - Dora landed her last winning jump backwards with a proper landing position.)

If I were a judge, I'd award the medal to Peppermint Patty.

Hey, no fair. A bait and switch! Here it says that Johnny appears only in a "promotional spot" for the show, not in the televised show itself. :disagree:

Weir is taking new steps in other directions as well, as he has announced a new management team as of beginning of December:

Yeah, saw this yesterday. What do you all make of it? Pretty big deal to leave Tara Modlin, who has been not only his manager but a very close friend. and why make the switch now?

Did Tara run a figure skating show saying that donations would be given to a charity, but instead kept the money for herself?

 

[dorispulaski]

Yes, I heard that.

Also, didn't Tara manage to alienate Yuna Kim, so that Johnny wasn't invited to Yuna's productions?
