Lysacek a judge, Kim not No. 1, ice dancers join Jonas brother?

By Alexa Ainsworth

First Weir, now Lysacek...

2010 Olympic champion Evan Lysacek will judge the 2010 Miss Universe pageant on August 23.

Celebrities including model Niki Taylor and actress Jane Seymour will join Lysacek on the judging panel.

It seems America's top skaters are ideal pageant judges, as three-time U.S. champion Johnny Weir judged the Miss USA Pageant in May.

In true Johnny fashion, he arrived in an eye-catching "bird jacket."

How can Lysacek top that?

Kim not number one?

Not quite. Olympic champ Kim Yu-Na of South Korea is ranked number five on Forbes World's 10 Highest-Paid Female Athletes list.

Topping the star figure skater, tennis players Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams, Venus Williams, and racecar driver Danica Patrick.

Sharapova, 23, earns an estimated $24.5 million, while Kim came it at $9.7 million.

Kim and Patrick were the only athletes in the top 10 who were not tennis players or golfers.

Davis and White and...Nick Jonas?

Olympic silver medalists Meryl Davis and Charlie White have been named to the National Youth Leadership Committee.

The group was formed by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation to represent the next generation of American leaders.

Other Olympians on the 38-member committee include gymnasts Nastia Liukin and Alicia Sacramone, speed skaters Katherine Reutter and J.R. Celski, snowboarder Hannah Teter, and swimmer Katie Hoff.
