Hilton Skating and Gymnastics Spectacular - http://www.oregonlive.com/entertainment/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/entertainment/1161710729267200.xml&coll=7 The article got it wrong, this is the 2nd event like this, there was one last year too! It's this Saturday and is going to be on tv on January 14th, on NBC. Carly Patterson is going to be singing at this one; last year's it was Diana Degarmo from American Idol. Carly was on Celebrity Duets, and was getting better...but not pro yet. She's starting a singing career. Also at the event will be Paul Hamm, 2006 gold medal skater Evgeny Plushenko, Rudy Galindo (skater), Michael Weiss (skater), Dominique Moceanu and Shannon Miller.

cool!

They changed the airing time of Hilton's skating & gymnastics show to Christmas Eve, 1-3 pm on NBC. Here's an article on it, out today: "Skate 'n' vault" - http://www.oregonlive.com/AandE/pluggedin/index.ssf?/base/entertainment/116241630255660.xml&coll=7 . Summary is that the gymnasts were A-rated, and the skaters B-rated (they weren't the major stars that go in Smuckers skating tour for example), the men's high bar routines were good, the floor routine to the 'Stick it Movie' song was forced (kind of like the storyline in the movie some people say?), Shannon Miller is going to retire from doing shows after this show, and Carly Patterson was singing instead of her double Arabians and they say she was no Kelly Clarkson, but not Parsi Hilton either.
