Sasha Cohen in Cirque Du Soleil?

The Telegram has reported that figure skating hero Sasha Cohen decided to do a non-skating number for one of her performances recently. She took off her blades, switched them for some ballet shoes, and then proceeded to do a ballet-floor exercise routine with a couple of male helpers. She jumped, spun, tumbled, flipped and stretched, showing off just how flexible her tiny frame can be. She’s one of figure skating’s most famous athletes. In the last Winter Olympics she won a silver medal, and if all goes according to plan, she should be on the American team in the next edition of the Games.

But what does this have to do with Cirque? Well, the author of the article compared her dancing to the type you’d see in Cirque du Soleil. Which begs the question: what celebrity would you most like to see guest star in a Cirque du Soleil performance? What star of stage, screen or athletic field would do well in a performacnce for Cirque. Keep thinking. We’re going to make a list come tomorrow.
