Rippon scores, slights Weir

MOMS are embarrassing, even when they’re Oscar-winning legends. But Sally Field has succeeded in getting her single son in contact with the Olympics’ breakout star Adam Rippon.

Page Six has exclusively learned that Field’s son has reached out personally to figure skating darling Rippon to apologize for his mom’s awkward attempts to set them up on a date.

On Friday, filmmaker Sam Greisman tweeted a text conversation between him and Field in which his doting mom encouraged him to “find a way” to ask the scene-stealing skater out on a date, with Field telling her son of Rippon, “Sam . . . he’s insanely pretty.”

The “Forrest Gump” actress unilaterally upped the ante by retweeting the conversation and tagging Rippon — who won a bronze medal in the team event — presumably in hopes that he’d see the exchange and reach out.

But now we’re told that Greisman was so embarrassed by his daringly direct mother that he reached out to Rippon by DM to break the ice.

An Olympic spy told us they had overheard Rippon say that Griesman had sent him a private message on Twitter “to apologize for his mom embarrassingly trying to set them up.” (Still, Field’s plan may yet be a success — at least she’s gotten them in touch with each other.) Meanwhile, Rippon has said he was impressed by Field’s “bold” wingwoman moves. He added, “I’m sure one day we’re going to meet.”

But while Field — and most of America — may be infatuated with Rippon and his sassy social media and interviews, we’re told he’s caught an edge with fellow skater and NBC announcer Johnny Weir. Sources tell Page Six that one-time Olympian Weir is doing a flying spin with envy because audiences find Rippon funnier and more lovable. NBC even offered Rippon a correspondent job, but he turned it down to stay in the Olympic Village with his teammates.

“Johnny feels upstaged and threw a fit about Adam,” an NBC insider sniffed, adding, “Johnny should spend less time on his ‘Hunger Games’ hair and more time engaging the audience.”
