Oh brother now what?  Did a woman appear in public without her ankles covered?

Apparently the IOC, who seem to have about as much of a sense of humour and fun as the Taliban, have got their collective tits all in a knot over the way the Canadian Woman’s Hockey Team celebrated their win over the USA yesterday.

Smoking cigars and drinking on the ice???!!!   Quelle Horror!!!

Showing they have absolutely nothing better to do with their time or their money, they released a statement saying “The International Olympic Committee will investigate the behavior of the Canadian women’s hockey players who celebrated their gold medal at the Vancouver Games by drinking alcohol on the ice”.

Bitches please.

The IOC really needs to lighten up before they manage to suck every last drop of fun out of the Winter Olympics and become the butt of jokes (they already have).

Evan Lysacek, who looks a lot less orange in this picture than he noramlly does, has been indicating he wants in on the ABC reality series Dancing With The Has-Beens Stars.

“All I have heard from everyone that has done the show is what a blast it is. That could be a good way for me to do something extremely challenging, but also fun to celebrate my Olympic win.”  The 24 year old told EW in an interview.

He’s more lean and cut than I would have given him credit for.  Is it just me or does he look a bit like Zachary Quinto?

You have to feel sorry for this guy.

Sven Kramer, the hot Dutch speed-skater who made headlines last week when asking an NBC reporter if she was stupid when she wanted to know his name and what country he was representing after he had just won gold, is now in the headlines again.

He completed the 10 000 meter race in record time 12:28.55 getting ensuring another gold medal.  Only one problem, he made an illegal lane change at his coaches insistence.  Oopsie!

Rules being rules, Kramer’s gold medal has been taken away from him with the top prize going to Seong Hoon Lee of Korea instead.

Kramer’s response to this turn of events was typically blunt “This really sucks.”  Although he showed remarkable composure and restraint (except for thowing his glasses down in disgust and kicking the ice in frustration) considering what happened.

There’s a rumour flaoting around that Kramer hit somebody outside the stadium afterwards.  Another “stupid” NBC reporter?  His Coach?  Quatchi?  Will update this post if anything comes of this one (which I doubt).

Kramer has gone on to say that while he blames his couch, “In the end, it’s my responsibility — I’m the skater on ice, I have to do it.  Maybe it’s best said, ‘We did it wrong.”

You almost have to admire the tenacity.

Evgeni Plushenko, the Russian figure skater with the bad 1970′s ABBA-eque hair and badder attitude who made all sorts of bitch faces while on the podium receiving his SILVER medal, and then went on to say that it wasn’t figure skating he didn’t get a gold in, it was dancing (bitter much?) has now managed to top himself.

On Plushenko’s official website, he shows that he won silver in Salt Lake City, gold in Turino, and platinum in Vancouver.  Wait, platinum?  Yes, completely unwilling to concede he came in second to the USA, Plushenko has decided that he won a non-existent medal to appear as if he came in first to those unfamiliar with Olympic standing or just plain stupid.

Way to make yourself a laughing stock there bub.  Enjoy your imaginary platnium standing from the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Oooooooh more drams at the Olympic Village!

Scott Lago, the Bronze Medal winner for Men’s Snow Boarding half pipe incurred the wrath of the International Olympc Committie and his Puritan overlords in the USA when TMZ published photos of him and a female fan re-enacting the part of Adam Lambert’s AMA performance that caused such a stink

After apologizing for inappropriate behavior, Lago was given the choice of leaving voluntarily or getting kicked out (which doesn’t really sound like a choice at all).

I could sort of see what all the fuss was about if he was caught actually getting serviced in public, but a couple of suggestive photos?  Didn’t realize a bunch of easily flustered prudes were running the show.  Some people need to remove whatever it is stuck up their asses and lighten up.  Cripes.

Talk about a cold war.

Last night the men’s figure skating competition was held at the Winter Olympics.  All things considered, it was pretty tight, with Johnny Weir (USA) and Patrick Chan (Canada) both bringing it but failing to crack the top three spots coming in 6th and 5th respectively.  Boo.

The winners were Evan Lysacek – USA (Gold) Daisuke Takahashi – Japan (Bronze) and Evegi Plushenko – Russia (Silver).  It’s Plushenko that has everyone talking today. 

Apparently coming in second didn’t sit well and he couldn’t help but try on various bitch-faces while on the podium, accepting his medal.  Then backstage came the comment from him “It’s not men’s figure skating. Now it’s dancing”.

Oh, SNAP.

This is probably one of the most awesomely bitchy and bitter things I’ve ever heard.  Hell hath no fury like a drama queen deprived of a gold medal they thought should have been theirs.

Speaking of Drama Queens, what did Johnny Weir think of his ranking?

“ 

My Hero!

Dutch speed skater Sven Kramer verbally bitch slaps one of NBC’s reporters coming off his winning performance when she asks him to state where he’s from and if he thought he did well.

I’m surprised she didn’t answer ‘Yes, it’s actually a requirement to work for the network” in response to his “Are you stupid?” response.

Sven get’s extra points for the “Hell no, I’m not gonna do that” before agreeing to be interviewed.

Heh.

They might find Quatchi, or what’s left of him on it or in it.  Nothing screams glamour like the fur from an overly cutsie-poo Sasquatch mascot (except maybe sequins and glitter).

When I first saw ”Quatchi” was going to be the official mascot for the 2010 Winter Games, I immediately thought it was either designed by an artistically challenged 12 year old girl with a really big Hello Kitty fetish, or that Mariah Carey seemed to be branching out from music and divadom  (although Quatchi would probably then have had butterfly wings and a unicorn horn as well).

Big and ugly may not be so great, but cutsie-poo just rots the intellect.

Figure Skating champ Johnny Weir, who comes across as the love child we all wish Richard Simmons and Liberace had produced, has incurred the wrath of anti-fur activists with his choices of costume.

Guess we know now what happens to the Cottonelle kittens when they get too big (KIDDING!!!).

Apparently, Johnny’s received all sorts of threats to both his person and even worse, his ensembles (Dumb move, activists.  Never mess with a queen’s wardrobe.  Just don’t), thus torpedoing his choice of lodging while the Winter Olympics are on, telling the Associated Press  ”All these crazy fur people definitely changed my mind.  Security wise, staying in a hotel would be very difficult.  I decided to stay in the village and my team has made it as comfortable as possible. I don’t want any outside influences to hurt my chances here. Even though I’m not always comfortable rooming with somebody or being in a communal village sort of situation, it’s what I’ve got to deal with.”

Nothing like a diva being but upon.  Apparently Weir didn’t enjoy his stay at the Olympic Village four years ago in Turin, Italy either.  (I sense there’s a story here heavy on the DRAMA).  This year, Weir is roughing it with fellow American Tanith Belbin, but has tried to make the place feel more at home with pink bath mats, scented candles and of course, a poster of Lady Gaga.

“She needs to be there watching over us, protecting us” says Weir adding, “There are humans dying everyday. There are thousands if not millions of homeless people in New York City. Look at what just happened in Haiti. I tend to focus my energy, if there is a cause, on humans. While that may be callous and bad of me, it’s my choice.”
