"  The two-week fame surge just experienced by many people in Sochi\u2014the parallel slalom skiers suddenly getting more cover lines than CW stars\u2014will calm down soon, naturally. But not for Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski, who are riding the wave of their exposure as figure skating broadcasters to a new opportunity: Academy Awards red carpet hosts. It makes sense, considering the duo became so popular not just for their performance critiques but for their blunt fashion reviews, too. Like Johnny on Ukrainian pair skater Julia Lavrentieva: &amp;quot;Her skates are one color beige, her tights are another color, her skin is another color, her face is another color and the illusion mesh on her back is another color. She&amp;#039;s rocking about seven different skin tones.&amp;quot; Related: Johnny Weir&amp;#039;s Best Olympic Outfits Tara and Johnny were funny and candid, and they even matched their outfits to each other for added effect. So when Access Hollywood&amp;#039;s Billy Bush suggested they hire the pair to do Oscar coverage, executive producer Rob Silverstein thought it was a great idea. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m anticipating them being great,&amp;quot; Silverstein said, &amp;quot;because they&amp;#039;re authentic and authenticity sells. Plus, they don&amp;#039;t take everything too seriously\u2014 and neither do we,&amp;quot; he said, adding he&amp;#039;s hopeful they&amp;#039;ll also serve as correspondents for Access Hollywood at the MTV Video Music Awards and the Emmys.
