The event will take place at the Pier 61 Ice Rink at Chelsea Piers on Thursday, February 19, from 9:00pm to 12:00am. Weir will perform an exhibition number to Lady GaGa's "Poker Face" in front of an impressive celebrity crowd. Invited guests include Christina Aguilera, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Vera Wang, and Richie Rich of Heatherette, as well as numerous fashion journalists, publicists, and stylists. Weir, a veteran of New York Fashion Week, previously walked the runway for designer Heatherette. "I am thrilled and honored to be asked to take part in New York's premier Fashion Week event," Weir said. "It is especially exciting for me as I am very interested in fashion, as many people know. It's always a treat when skating and fashion are combined in one setting."

I hope we can get a video of this somehow! And so many of his "favorites" will be there..how special for him. Imagine if he was going to worlds and then was invited to participate...people would've had a field day with that if he chose to still attend! This is awesome! GOOOOO JOHNNY! Your skating is appreciated and loved by so many different venues...I'm very glad to hear about this.

I'm so pleased he is able to do this! True, he might be criticized for doing it (if he were going to Worlds)...but I can't see why if other skaters are doing shows, too. And that song, haha, I can't imagine what costume or routine he'll have! This is perfect for him (and sure to lift his spirits!!) SO HAPPY FOR HIM!! Joanne ...Keeper of Johnny's changing hairstyles

I hope Christina Aguilera really will be there and Johnny will have the chance to meet her; the press release only lists the people who have been invited - there is no way to know who will actually come.

I hope someone is able to tape his exhibition! I would love to see it even though the music isn't my favorite, but it is okay.

I wish we could all wangle invitations just to see it. I totally agree that someone should make a video. Lady Gaga? I'd like to see the choreography...

We could sort of imagine it, but I'm trying to figure out a costume. Will it be something designed by a "fashion week" designer (on such short notice)..or will he wear one of his own--which one? I can't believe it's in 2 days! Joanne ...Keeper of Johnny's changing hairstyles

I wouldn't have heard of it either...but I have 3 teenage daughters who I drive all over kingdom-come and it's been on the radio several times. It's got an 80's techno-melody feel to it. Made me think of Tom Tom Club a bit...anyway, this will be a first. I've never seen (and I hope I'll get to see this at some point) Johnny skate to a song sung by a woman.

Love a bunch of her songs, but Poker Face is my favorite. I hope soooo much that someone records it. He's definitely not going to be able to skate his usual way to it, though.

Just sounds made to order and a perfect fit for him to have a blast at and strut his stuff as well. Sorry (well, not really for the puns). BTW wasn't Johnny's Feeling Good exhibit sung by a famous lady singer as well?

I knew I heard Lady Gaga before. I'm most familiar with that song by the refrain. Trying to imagine the choreography that Johnny will put into this song isn't really that easy right now. I just have to wait and see tomorrow or later (if we we do get to see a video).
