Olympic ice dancing silver medalist Tanith Belbin, best known for being ridiculously hot and rejecting Canadia as her home country, is back in the news as she and partner That Ugly Guy with the Goatee Who Finally Cut Off his Damn Ponytail are presently fifth in the World Championships being held in Tokyo. More importantly…

Although Belbin and Agosto won at the U.S. Championships in January, they wanted to change their appearance. So Belbin, for years noted as a blonde, came out as a brunette.

"It was my natural hair color anyway,'' Belbin said. "It is a little more serious look, a little more intensity.''

I, for one, support Miss Belbin in her return to brunette. Totally hot. What's the Canadian word for "hot"? Caliente?

At the same time, I'd like to correct a huge error by the AP in this article: Belbin wasn't a blonde; she had blonde streaks, and maybe if she spent a little less time at the Olympics practicing and a little more time getting her roots touched up, maybe she and that dude would have done better than silver. That's just my theory. But what do I know? I'm just an expert at hot chicks who ice dance.

You've certainly seen the trailer for Blades of Glory, but have you EATEN THE CEREAL? Ummm… probably not, because it's just a limited edition promotion.

Anyway, as I hang up the keyboard for the day at With Leather headquarters, I wanted to share this video of prominent ice skating stars talking about the film's stars. As Chazz Michael Michaels wants to remind you, he's not just sex on skates… He's sex on everything. Me, I'm sex under a bridge in Camden, New Jersey. And for the right price I'm all yours, baby.

My intrepid assistant editor included this story in Friday's St. Andrew's Net, but now that there's video, I think it's time we revisited it. Canadian pairs skater Jessica Dube took her partner Bryce Davison's skate to the face during the free skate portion of a competition on Thursday night. You can read all about — and see a nice picture with blood on the ice — at this link to the news story. Apparently, she's going to be okay following surgery to put her face back together, but there's no word on whether or not she'll be beautiful again.

The news coverage of the video shown below is kind enough to follow up with great mishaps in ice skating history. It really needs to be set to theme to Chariots of Fire or Top Gun.

It's a good thing ice is so soft, otherwise some of those accidents might have been painful.

This is the new trailer for Blades of Glory, and I can't wait. Anytime a mascot gets burned for the purpose of humor (is there another reason?), then I'm all for it.

NOTE: You may have seen this on The Big Lead yesterday, but they're under the mistaken impression that Ferrell's bushy Afro at the Golden Globes was for this movie. Um, hello? It's obviously for his NEXT sports film — Semi-Pro, about the ABA.
