D’oh, Canada — Part Deux: U.S. figure skater and goth heartthrob Johnny Weir isn’t demanding an apology, but he wants two French-language broadcasters to think twice before they make derogatory comments about athletes. One broadcaster for the French Canadian sports channel RDS said Weir hurt skating’s image, and the other said Weir should submit to a gender test.
We’ve seen the tape of the broadcast and suggest that their comments might carry more weight if they removed their berets and didn’t hold their pinkies out while holding their microphones.
Clip and save: At the suggestion of local innkeepers, Snohomish County is considering the creation of a tourism promotion program that would be funded by a $1-a-night surcharge for each hotel visitor to the county.
The program’s first promotional effort? For every night you stay at a hotel in Snohomish County, you get a dollar off.
Oh, baby: Nadya Suleman, also known as “Octomom” for the octuplets she gave birth to a year ago this January, told the ABC talk show “The View” she was open to having another child.
But with six other kids in addition to the eight toddlers she’s not going to rush into anything and will wait until she meets the right test tube.
