Scratch head. Funny blog. http://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=838
For chuckles, also read Sasha Cohen's and Irina Slutskaya's. But really, any ethnic group should be chomping at the bit to include Johnny as one of their own based on the slimmest evidence.

Repeat of earlier interview but notes for a mix of interesting comments: http://www.celebitchy.com...fur_im_a_big_fan_of_fur/
My priorities are that humans first and foremost need to stop killing/starving/torturing humans and intelligent apes.

A good story on Johnny's minor planet and who else has a planet named after them: http://worldskating.blogs...johnny-weirs-planet.html
By the way, here's some info on these objects from Wikipedia:

A minor planet is an astronomical object in direct orbit around the Sun that is neither a dominant planet nor a comet. The first minor planet discovered was Ceres in 1801. Since then, more than 200,000 minor planets have been discovered, most of them lying in the asteroid belt.

The term "minor planet" has been used since the 19th century to describe these objects. The term planetoid has also been used, especially for larger objects. Historically, the terms asteroid, minor planet, and planetoid have been more or less synonymous, but the issue has been complicated by the discovery of numerous minor planets beyond the orbit of Jupiter and especially Neptune that are not universally considered asteroids.

Before 2006, the International Astronomical Union had officially used the term minor planet. During its 2006 meeting, it reclassified minor planets and comets into dwarf planets and small solar system bodies. Objects are called dwarf planets if their self-gravity is sufficient to achieve hydrostatic equilibrium, that is, an ellipsoidal shape, with all other minor planets and comets called "small solar system bodies". The IAU states: "the term 'minor planet' may still be used, but generally the term 'small solar system body' will be preferred." However, for purposes of numbering and naming, the traditional distinction between minor planet and comet is still followed.

The Saturnian moon Mimas is the smallest body known to be in hydrostatic equilibrium (though not eligible to be a dwarf planet since it does not orbit the Sun), while the asteroid Pallas may be the largest that is not. The IAU has so far officially classified five objects as dwarf planets. In order both of discovery and distance from the Sun, they are Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris.
I think the term "planetoid" is very cute but it sounds like a contradiction (or oxymoron).

No, us fans won't abandon you because skating is just part of the story.

Very cute video set to the song "Everybody Loves Me": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGSjhhKJerM

Keeper of the delight and inspiration that Johnny brings to fans. Vote for another season of Skating with the Stars http://www.wetpaint.com/dancing-with-the-stars/articles/poll-would-you-watch-a-second-season-of-skating-with-the-stars
