Apolo Anton Ohno, who broke the U.S. Olympic record for Winter Olympic medals in Vancouver last month and won a little TV dance competition called “Dancing With the Stars” in 2007 apparently doesn’t think much of Canadian Pam Anderson’s chances on the upcoming season of the show.

Talking to Jay Leno on “The Tonight Show,” Ohno was asked to handicap the season.

“Between, what is it, Pam Anderson and Evan Lysacek?” Ohno told Leno, according to People.com. “Pam Anderson, she’s a little top-heavy. I think Evan is going to do very well. Plus, he’s an Olympic medalist!”

RadarOnline.com is reporting that Pam Anderson has sealed a deal to compete on the next season of “Dancing with the Stars.”

“She really wanted to do the show and the show thought it was a great idea,” a source told RadarOnline.com exclusively.

It wouldn’t be the first time a contestant with Playboy connections has taken to the dance floor, and they’ve had drastically different levels of success.

April 1997 Playmate of the Month turned soap opera star Kelly Monaco won the first season of the show. Meanwhile Shanna Moakler, who was Playmate of the Month in December 2001, was eliminated second (only after Tucker Carlson) in the third season.

Hugh Hefner’s ex Holly Madison was eliminated third in Season 8, after jumping in at the last minute for an injured contestant just days before the competition began.

How do you think Pam Anderson will fare on the show?

Los Angeles-based Canadian writer Linda Massarella posted a list of the 10 most influential Canadians in the United States in 2009, and Canadian of the Week fully endorses it.

Massarella kept her list to what she called “those who are most boldly Canadian, who exude Canadian-ness in their speech and actions, who when interviewed say, ‘I’m from Canada,’ and give as much time to their homeland as to their adopted town.”

Coming in first was Luc Robitaille, the former left winger-turned team president of the Los Angeles Kings. As an L.A. native now living on the east cosat, and former Kings’ season ticket holder, I love this choice. I just worry that it’s a little too insider-y, but big points for sticking to the national sport and honoring a man who has made hockey successful in L.A. for nearly three decades.

Also making the list were recent Canadian of the Week picks James Cameron and William Shatner.
