Johnny Weir is a whirling dervish … both on and off the ice.  For someone who spends 22 of his 24 hours a day on the ice, he sure is up to speed on all his trashy reality TV shows.

When MoxieQ snagged him during a red carpet interview, Johnny was quick to dish on “Real Housewives of Atlanta”.  Turns out he wants to be part of the cast and pays homage to the one and only NeNe Leakes.

While a majority of the world knows him as an Olympic figure skater … they also know him as the over-the-top flamboyant one.  And for that particular sport, that’s saying something.  He was much more subdued on the red carpet, which came as a bit of a surprise.  Maybe being a newlywed has calmed him down a bit.

Turns out Weir is spending a majority of his time training in the rink.  Given that the 2014 Winter Olympics are less than two years away, that makes total sense.  But when all is said and done, will Weir try to compete in “Dancing With The Stars”?

Well, duh.  Score one for common sense.

He’s a proud New Jersey resident (and, no, that’s not an oxymoron) who has weathered his share of scathing remarks over the years … always managing to keep his persona, pride and sanity intact.  From fashion spreads to make-up advertisements, Weir works it both in and out of his skates.

And he follows no one’s lead.  He marches, er, skates to the beat of his own drummer.  Case in point, unlike most figure skaters, he’s a clockwise spinner and jumper.  The 2014 Olympics had better watch out … no one is going to know what hit them once Weir takes the ice.  Come to think of it … 2013 should probably watch its back too … as Weir is just warming up for more glitz, glamour … and, dare I say, ostentatious costumes that will have every one gob smacked.

In the meantime, enjoy newlywed bliss, my friend … and your upcoming wedding ceremony this summer.  You deserve it.  Maybe NeNe can be in the wedding party?  I’ll gladly be her date.  We can mock what everyone’s wearing.
