Nastia Liukin is officially an American idol. An Olympic gold medal will do that to an 18-year-old girl with a spread eagle like hers. 

That automatically qualifies her for the big screen, right? No, not the big screen of Buba’s Barbecue Sports Bar. The big screen of a movie theater. Nastia’s going to be in a new film called “Chalk it Up,” which sounds more to us like an instructional football video for 12-15 year olds.

The gymnast was in the 2006 movie “Stick It!” which sounds more to us like a porno flick that a gymnastics feature, but we’re not Ebert and Roeper. And we’re not about to watch it to find out if it was good or not.

The best response we can give to this is we’re not going to pay to watch any new movie just because there is an American Olympic medalist in it unless it’s Amanda Beard, Misty-May and Kerri together or Michael “Gills” Phelps. And maybe, just maybe Shawn Johnson as the Easter Bunny (she’s got big teeth. Cute, but big teeth.)
