Candice Michelle, Beth Phoenix and more

WWE Diva Candice Michelle turned 30 on Tuesday
Happy Late Birthday Candice!

Taylor Wilde versus Velvet Sky

Taylor Wilde defeated Velvet Sky by disqualification last night, retaining the TNA Knockout Title.
Of course after this, The Beautiful People jumped Taylor, till ODB and Gail Kim ran in for the save.
Watching this made me realize something...
Several years ago, when the WWE was having such trouble with their Diva division, I thought " Why dont they just get some of the hard working Indy ladies and use them?"
TNA pretty much did that.
As I have said before, these ladies work like the wrestlers of the 60's and 70's, some working full time jobs, getting off work and hitting the road to make that nights show. You have to LOVE wrestling to do that.

WWE's Maria Kanellis in Playboy

I don't think it's possible for me to know less about the WWE than I do. But as with most things in life if you try hard enough you can find a smoking how chick somehow involved. Better yet, a naked one. WWE's Diva Maria getting naked this month in Playboy. Here's some picts of Maria Kanellis signing her Playboy cover at the Virgin Megastore. She's not naked but you can't complain about that dress.

WWE's Sexy Diva Maria

Maria Kanellis (Born February 25, 1982) better known simply as Maria, is an American professional wrestler, working for World Wrestling Entertainment's RAW brand. She also makes regular appearances in WWE's training territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has also confirmed that Maria will be posing for Playboy this year. She will be on the cover of the magazine, which will be hitting newsstands in late March as part of the promotion of WrestleMania.

New Women's Champion!

The match got under way with Melina delivering a kick to Candice's mid-section and then another to her head. Candice then managed to trip Melina up with a drop toehold and then threw her into the corner. She then went for an early Candylicious leglock, but Melina was able to break out of it and knock Candice to the apron with a kick to her back. Melina then climbed out of the ring and dragged the brunette back into it by her head whilst she had it in an improvised leglock.

Melina then dragged Candice to her feet again, but quickly took her down with a kick to her back which yielded a one-count. Melina then followed up with a headbutt and a knee to the mid-section at the turnbuckle. She then employed another improvised leglock when she sat on the top rope and choked Candice with her legs.

She then tried to throw Candice around a bit on the mat, but this only gave Candice the opportunity to go for a roll up and get a two-count. In retaliation, Melina slammed Candice to the mat and placed her in a bow and arrow lock which backfired somewhat as it gave Candice a chance to go for a lateral press pin when she was released from it.

The match continued with Melina delivering a series of elbows followed by another choke at the ropes. She then went for a running clothesline, but Candice was able to dodge this and send Melina tumbling to the outside. When Melina climbed back into the ring, Candice was quick to throw her off the ropes and into a powerslam, followed by her Godaddy elbow drop, which gave her another two-count.

Both Divas got to their feet again, and after bouncing off the rope to gain momentum, Candice took Melina down with a slam to the mat, followed by another unsuccessful pin attempt. Melina then fought back with an eye rake and a reverse neckbreaker before going for her a pin attempt of her own.

Melina then dragged Candice to her feet and threw her to the ropes. Candice ducked a clothesline, and then came back hard with her spinning wheel kick for the three count and the win, thus making her the new Women's champion!

It was an impressive match and an impressive victory, but the real question is now whether Candice has the goods to be able to defend her recently acquired title against the rest of the division. I guess we may begin to find out after tonight's RAW.

WWE's Newly Signed Diva Louise Glover

I've just stumbled across news that a UK glamour model by the name of Louise Glover recently posted a rather clumsy statement on her Myspace page alleging that she has just signed a contract with the WWE as a Diva. Any reference to this original post has since been removed, and the WWE has yet to make any form of official statement on the matter. If the rumours are true and she has signed, then I can't help but feel that the WWE have yet again just hired someone based on their looks rather than their wrestling ability. They've let decent female wrestlers like Trinity go recently, and they've also lost girls such as Ariel who only seemed to have been hired on T & A grounds. Quite how hiring a model off the backs of these two firings furthers women's wrestling in the WWE is beyond me. Hopefully Miss Glover will prove us all wrong and do a Candice, but I can't say that I'm too confident lightning will strike twice in this way.

Season 2 of American Gladiators Premiere’s Tonight

Here we go Gladiator fans, tonight on NBC at 7p.m. central time American Gladiators returns for Season 2 with a two-hour premiere that’s been advertised as bigger and better. This season NBC has moved the show to the L.A. Sports Arena, added seven new events, added eight new Gladiators including PhoenixJetRocket and The Beast, a 7 foot-tall Gladiator putting 6′8″ Justice to shame. This season there will be 20 male and 20 female contenders competing for the $100,000 prize money.

The two-hour premiere kicks off with single mom and black belt Melissa Trinidad going up against firefighter and Chernobyl survivor Elena Maskalik. For the men we have grocery store owner Toby Gordin going up against carpenter Randee Haynes.

The second hour of the show features Para-Olympian John Sciliano battling special education teacher Gerry Garcia. On the women’s side we have Air Force Major Vanessa Warren going up against bartender Nikki Key.

With all the new location of the show, events and Gladiators this is shaping up to be another big season. Make sure to watch on NBC at 7p.m. central.

Local Melissa Trinidad on 'American Gladiators

Bloodthirsty Tampa Bay TV viewers will have not only Hulk Hogan to look forward to upon the return of American Gladiators on Monday, but a local contestant, as well. Melissa Trinidad is a 30-year-old children's martial arts instructor from Brandon who will be testing her mettle on the show's season premiere.

According to NBC, Trinidad is certified black belt and single mom, which probably comes in handy at some point. She'll be tough to see onscreen, however, since she's a mere 5-foot-1. Up until now the only person we've had to root for is Atlantic Beach native Whitney on the CW's America's Next Top Model (who's in the top three), so it'll be fun to see another Floridian kick some butt.

Why Is She Famous

'Diva' Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson has been branded a "diva" by the crew on the set of her new movie.

The blonde actress reportedly insisted on being driven 100 yards across the Los Angeles set on the first day of filming, on 'He's Just Not That Into You', while co-star Drew Barrymore walked the distance.

Scarlett, 22, also allegedly demanded three assistants shielded her from the elements with umbrellas.

An on set source said: "Scarlett's a total diva. Some people are cool, and others are not."

However, a member of the production team defended the 'Lost In Translation' star's actions, saying: "We prefer talent use vans when filming on public streets, and Scarlett has only been professional."

Scarlett splashed out £400,000 this summer on a "gigantic" new home.

She purchased the seven-bedroom Los Angeles property, located in the exclusive Hollywood Hills area, from film director Harold Becker.

Mariah Carey Plays Queen Diva In London

Mariah Carey hit London to flog new single Touch My Body this week - and it's fair to say her legendary diva-tude was in full effect!

Still, she has managed to whip paparazzi and fans into a frenzy with her extensive posing at various London locations.

At Selfridges, Mariah signed copies of her album for fans on a £50,000 antique table flown in especialy from New York.

A source told the Daily Mail: "Mariah certainly looked like a queen in her castle. She was sat on a throne worth £1,000 and surrounded herself with cream roses and butterflies."

A £10,000 gym has also been installed for her week-long stay at Knightsbridge hotel, Claridges, while hampers of fresh fruit are delivered to her hotel room each morning.

She is accompanied on her visit by a 15-strong entourage which includes two personal bodyguards, stylists, hairdressers, publicists and managers.
