    Ice skating is only deadly when you're in competition against Tonya Harding. But even then you'll probably just end up with a busted knee cap or two.

    That's not exactly true about Alphonso Ribiero. He wanted to participate but the producers wanted him to lose 20 pounds for the role and play 'extra cool'. He wanted to lose weight for the role but, at that point, he was contractually obligated by Medina and company at Fresh Prince to remain the square to Will Smith's cool guy. And at that point the negotiations broke down.

    Recently there has been talk of another Silver Spoons remake. This time with Rick Shroeder reprising his role as Ricky Stratton as an adult father, Meaghan Fox as his love interest, and the main teen roles would be played by Ben Stiller and Ja Rule.
