Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN) – While Johnny Weir announced over the summer he’d be taking time off from skating, the three-time U.S. skating champion and reality star is set to hit the ice next week…as judge of ABC’s “Skating with the Stars.”

26-year-old Weir, who also starred in his own reality show “Be Good Johnny Weir,” and created a fashion line, music single, and book, will use his expertise as a two-time Olympic medalist and World medalist to critique the celebrities taking the ice.

The superstar skater will be joined by Laurieann Gibson, who’s choreographed for Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus, and Dick Button, Emmy Award-winning broadcaster and two-time Olympic champion, known as the “Voice” of figure skating.

The three will judge celebrity contestants Bethenny Frankel, of “Real Housewives of NYC” and “Bethenny Getting Married?” fame Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil, “Blade Runner” star Sean Young, Brandon Mychal Smith of the Disney Channel hit “Sonny with a Chance,” “All My Children” star Rebecca Budig, and former Olympic skier Jonny Moseley.

“Skating with the Stars,” from the producers of the hit “Dancing with the Stars,” will pair up celebrities with world class ice skaters to compete in front of millions. Just like it’s sister show, a panel of judges will give scores, and viewers at home will as well with their votes, sending one couple off the ice each week.

“Skating with the Stars” will premiere Monday, November 22nd at 9pm ET on ABC.
