Azerbaijan? Federated States of Micronesia? Poor Sergei Novitski...wamp wamp. *Joubert is considering working with a North American coach...intriguing?
*Rachael Flatt got accepted to Stanford...but she isn't going this year.
*Johnny Weir will be a judge on Miss USA Pageant...and has a spat currently with Chelsea Handler...and is recording a single...and is trying to out Evan Lysacek...and getting blasted back at by Evan Lysacek...it never ends with this guy!

BROOKE AND BEN RETIRED???????? I'm devastated! :(
I think that covers it...except I doubt Fedor Andreev and Jana Khoklova will compete for Canada. Much to deep a field.
I hope Weir really isn't out to drag Evan out of the closet. It's really Evan's business not his. With that said, I think Evan's handler has handle's Evan's PR really well. First, we have Evan dating Tanith Belbin. Then it's Nastia Liukin. I wonder if they are still dating now that the Olympics are over...? Oh wait, on Feb 22, he said on ET: "I'm single. I haven't had any time for dating while I'm training. I'm lonely." Someone needs to get their story "straight".
I'll be surprised if Fedor and Jana compete as an ice dance team at all...just too odd for me.
I will sure miss C/O and Nav/Boms!
