INSIDE STORY: Evan Lysacek and Johnny Weir 'At War'
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20365447,00.html
When skating rivals Evan Lysacek and Johnny Weir were battling for a spot on the Olympic podium at the Vancouver Winter Games in February, Weir remarked that showdown would be a great "catfight."
The dust-up intensified this week off the ice as Olympic gold medalist Lysacek, competing on Dancing with the Stars, and Weir, a three-time U.S. Champion, traded slurs and barbs.
"We are at war," Weir told PEOPLE on Thursday. "My claws are out."
引起轩然大波的那句话,反白:Indianapolis Star是个很小的地方媒体,如果不是几个同志网站抓住此话大作文章,根本米啥人会看到这个访问。
The latest round of mudslinging began when Lysacek suggested earlier this week that a lack of talent kept Weir off the cast of the traveling Smucker's Stars on Ice. "They only hire the best of the best to skate," Lysacek told the Indianapolis Star. "A lot of us in the skating world were really disappointed in the way he reacted, basically whining that he wasn't chosen."
Harsh Words Exchanged
Weir的反应,不依不饶
The flamboyant Weir claims the show didn't hire him because he didn't fit the tour's "family-friendly" profile – a charge Stars on Ice denies. Weir also went on the attack against Lysacek, calling him a "slore" – an apparent combination of "slut" and "whore" – on the The Wendy Williams Show on Wednesday.
Then on Thursday in New York , where he announced their "war," Weir added, "I've never whined. I wasn't the one who falls dancing and gets a concussion and breaks toes and has hip replacement surgeries. If anyone whines, it's definitely Evan. He's done that his whole career, and I've never said anything about it just because there was no need."
Weir, who is opening the season for Ice Theatre of New York at Chelsea Piers, added, "I have no respect for Evan Lysacek." He is encouraging fans not to vote for his rival on Dancing with the Stars.
小雷子的反应,息事宁人
But there may a truce on the horizon. In a statement to PEOPLE, Lysacek says he wants to end the feud, even though Weir had said hurtful things. Extending an olive branch, he's calling Weir "an accomplished and talented skater" and wishing him well at his New York show.
"I let my personal feelings cloud my judgment in how I answered a journalist's question about Stars on Ice and Johnny that I should never have answered," says Lysacek. "I should have known better."
ET和US weekly的隐情披露:小雷子打破沉默,说那句话的前因,对方挑衅在前,我已经忍让克制了很久
Dancing's Evan Lysacek Explains His Pointed Comments About Johnny Weir
"Dancing with the Stars" contender Evan Lysacek is clarifying comments he made about fellow pro figure skater Johnny Weir.
"Johnny Weir is an accomplished and talented skater, and I've skated alongside him as part of Team USA for many years," Lysacek tells ET. "Since the Olympics, I've dealt with Johnny's questioning my integrity and sexuality, and I've never spoken out on my own behalf no matter how hurtful those things may have been."
In between his "DWTS" duties, Olympic gold medalist Lysacek also figure skates for Smucker's Stars on Ice -- a tour Weir feels he was excluded from because of its "family friendly" atmosphere.
In response to Weir's lament, Lysacek told the Indianapolis Star earlier this week: "Stars on Ice is really selective of who they hire and they only hire the best of the best to skate. … A lot of us in the skating world were really disappointed in the way he reacted, basically whining that he wasn't chosen."
现他对自己上周二因感情用事造成的言辞不当表示道歉,并对对手给与了诚恳的祝福。他表示从此将不再介入任何关于两人rivalry的是非纷争。沉默是金,果真如此,就是最好的结果了。
Now, Lysacek is explaining his comments to ET: "I let my personal feelings cloud my judgment in how I answered a journalist's question about Stars on Ice and Johnny that I should never have answered. I should have known better. Best wishes and congratulations to Johnny as he opens the new season of Ice Theatre of NY and I wish him well in all of his future endeavors."
小O点评:
Evan犯了个低级错误,以他一贯的涵养和情商,此番言语的确有失水准。他也是个性情中人,受了委屈和伤害,忍耐也是有限度的。考虑到那段时间他所经历的种种波折和辛苦,我想,不管多理智冷静的人,遇到情感和身体上最脆弱的阶段,都需要找个爆发的出口吧,虽然那不能成为犯错的借口。
但我欣赏他事后的态度,知错就改,诚恳道歉,表现出了一个成熟男人应有的风度和担当。人非圣贤,孰能无过,高下之分的关键在于:如何正确面对和处理自己的过失。
成为公众人物的代价之一是,你的一切都会无时无刻曝光于众目睽睽之下,被公众所审视和评价,这当中有你的朋友,也有你的敌人。
人的本性就是这样,负面新闻的力量,远比正面的大得多;不论你曾经做过多少正确的事,说过多少正确的话,未必会有人记得;而哪怕一言一行的闪失,就会被别有用心的人提出来加以无限highlight,无限曲解放大,直至众口铄金,积毁销骨。这就是人言可畏的力量。
我想,这场小风波为Evan和他的fans都上了深刻而难忘的一课。人的成长路上不可能事事顺遂,经历了痛苦的磨砺和摔打,才可以拥有更坚强的品格,更睿智的头脑,更成熟的心态和和更广阔的胸怀,那么这样经历不失为人生最宝贵的财富。走过这片阴霾,等待Evan和我们的,将是一个阳光灿烂的好天气。
上图为上周二狗崽队在好莱坞山Evan家附近偷拍到的图图,偶发现他的偷拍照总比摆pose的要帅100倍!
回到星舞新闻,都是好消息:
4月29日,Evan的twitter:
Will get 8 hrs of sleep tonight. That's what I usually get per week. So excited!
几个月以来,他终于第一次享受一晚8小时的睡眠。而8小时通常是他每周睡眠时间的总和!!!
Evan和ErinJJ的关系,目前可以肯定的是:友达以上,恋人XX (……保密)。
Erin说:“Evan Lysacek is my best friend.” 并且暗示她看上了DWTS的一位帅哥,但不是舞伴Max。Evan说:“Erin and I are really close.” 同时表示在DWTS交到了不少“可以成为一生知己”的好朋友。
在被问到星舞里和他最亲密的朋友是谁,他说了一堆人,但第一位的是Erin和Max。
他说 :I probably talk to them five times a day minimum. 一天至少5通电话~~ 到底素talk to THEM呢还素talk to HER?;)
这周Evan的个人舞是阿根廷探戈!!! 技术和风格上都会和上次的国标探戈有很大不相同。偶觉得这是非常符合他外形和气质的一种舞,超级期待。
一周双赛制的另一个舞是恰恰,采用分组对抗赛的形式,又可以见到雷队的风采啦!
本赛季最引人注目的showdown: Evan vs Nicole
Max哥哥在blog里说这次比赛分成两队进行,由前几场表现最好的Evan和Nicole分别担任队长,挑选队员和音乐。掷硬币猜先,Evan让Nicole先挑,她猜赢,在两首指定曲Madonna的Holiday和Gaga的Telephone里选择了后者,这样Evan队将采用麦姐的音乐。
接下去选队员,Evan用优先权先选了美丽的ErinJJ ; Nicole选了性感的Pamela阿姨;然后Evan让Anna挑,Anna选了搞笑的胖姐Niecy;黑大哥就自动编入Nicole组。Max哥哥透露,“Evan and Erin,they’re like,the BEST friends!”
此前People(就是炒作小雷子和公主恋情的8卦杂志,摆乌龙是家常便饭)大张旗鼓地报道Erin和Max的星舞情缘,后被ErinJJ在诸多访问里拿出来取笑,“这里头说的浪漫情事为毛我和Max本人都不知道?狗仔队显然比我更了解我自己。”
由于Niecy实力较弱,挑战常胜公主Nicole队的重任就落在Evan和Erin的肩上了,期待他们擦出热辣美丽的火花!明天是Erin的32岁生日,会有浪漫节目吗?
关于Man in the Mirror的由来,原来最早提议人是Vera Wang:
Evan, known for his artistic elegance and speed, skates to Michael Jackson’s 'Man in the Mirror' on the tour. The song was suggested by his close friend and famous fashion designer Vera Wang.
“She said every time it made her cry -- every time she heard 'Man in the Mirror,' so she said, ‘You have to skate to that song. You have to find a way,'" said Evan.
Vera, along with Christian Dior and the late Alexander McQueen, have designed some of Evan’s beautiful costumes.
“Vera is the most recent and the most important to me because she is like family,” Evan said. “She was at the Olympics straight from fashion week in New York. She hopped on a jet and came to Vancouver. She had a new outfit for me at every event this year. She really wanted to make me stand out.”
还有个小秘密:Anna说Evan滑冰的时候喜欢跟着音乐唱歌QT, 不过跳舞的时候不唱,大概要忙着记舞步和数拍子吧?
送个小视频,上周一比赛结束后的访问:
Anna说:“我差点折断我舞伴的脖子!!!”她对Evan说:“Sorry!”Evan安慰她:“别这么说,这都是我的错,是我愿意尝试那个动作的。我们俩都想进步,想挑战自己的极限,这次也许我们走得太过了…… ”

第9届的星舞冠军,著名主持人Donny Osmond在观看了上周比赛后说,“I think Evan is in perfect position to win this。他有超人的决心和专注,这是赢得比赛最关键的。上赛季此时我也垫底,看后来发生了什么?他比其他选手的日程紧张得多,他是唯一要同时身兼两职的选手。看看还有谁在同时做两份工作?”(Donny环顾四周大笑,他是上赛季唯一同时做两份工作,需要每星期飞来飞去的选手,不过他当时的节目大本营在拉斯韦加斯,和LA不算太远。)
Anna的最新留言,Evan的阿根廷探戈压轴个人舞比赛,然后要背靠背比团体赛,老师对学生练习里的表现十分满意,希望今晚能有个完美的结果。
