Seems like Women’s Champ, Mickie James has something of a knack for cameos! Mickie will be making a small screen cameo on the USA Network series Psych later this year, but you can check her out right now on the even smaller screen – your computer! Mickie made a guest appearance on Cryme Tyme’s new WWE.com show Word Up. Funny stuff, check it out:
Though Stacy Keibler has graced our screens for years with Nitro, Thunder, Raw and SmackDown – it’s only now in 2008, that Stacy’s television career is set to take off! You know you’ve really made it when you sit on the panel at the Television Critics Association press tour, which takes place every summer! It is at the TCAs that the networks dish dirt to the critics about the upcoming television season which begins in September. Every major show and every major television star you can think of has had their presence felt at the TCA tour… which is why it’s so odd to see Stacy sitting up their on the panel!
Stacy repped her brand new show, Samurai Girl at the ABC Family leg of the tour accompanied by the rest of the cast and the show’s executive producer. We all know that critics can be tough (just the other day at the Eli Stone panel, someone reminded the show’s lead Johnny Lee Miller about his ill-fated marriage to Angelina Jolie. Ouch.), so in the same vain – I would think Stacy’s “colourful” wrestling career would be brought up at some point. Lord knows, it’s probably something Stacy would like to bury deep down in that closet.
Anyhoo, check out pictures from today’s event below:
It’s pretty obvious at this point that the WWE likes to take their Melina photoshoots at the local Holiday Inn (Exhibit A, Exhibit B, & Exhibit C), but I’m certainly not complaining. These have been some of Melina’s best photoshoots to date. Although I wasn’t a huge fan of her last one – the bright underwear didn’t really mesh with the mellow hotel room – this time, they got her attire right. She’s still in her skivvies, but they’re much more appropriate this time – in crisp shades of black and white. And if you couldn’t tell, they’ve got flowers too, hence the “Morning Flower” title of the photoshoot. I see what you did there, WWE.com!
Melina must be lounging in an extended-stay hotel while her foot heals. But if this is all we see of Melina for a few months, at least it’s visually pleasing!

Here is WWE’s resident fashionista Maria, looking so fashionable and fly! Okay, if you had a straight face reading that sentence, you got issues! Maria and her pooch rocked Animal Fair magazine’s 9th annual Paws for Style last night and I guess homegirl read the memo wrong – you’re not supposed to dress like a dog, Maria. My belief is this is one of Maria’s very own creations, God knows the poor girl probably slaved over that sewing machine weeks in anticipation of this event!
Girlfriend paid some serious attention to detail with her latest creation, working out the quirks to match the dress to the event: I mean why else would she be wearing her pooch’s dog leash as a neck strap? Oh and Maria, the little veil on your head – such a nice touch. Seems like someone watched Sex and the City this summer and got a little too overzealous! It’s not like Maria is invited to red carpet events on the regular so points for eagerness, but in short: it seems Maria’s turn at Carrie Bradshaw looks more like the Dog Whisperer.

Jillian is joining in on the bikini party, but in a studio shoot, presumably modeling her bikini from the bikini content a few weeks ago on Raw. It’s nothing flashy, especially when compared to the colorful scenery Candice, Michelle, Mickie, and Kelly have posed in front of recently, but I’ll be honest – with as sparsely as Jillian is being used lately, it’s nice to just see something new from her. She’s pretty much Raw’s resident punching bag, and it’s sad to see. Here’s hoping she’ll soon be called on to do more than count ceiling lights..
As for the shoot (named “Showing Off”), it’s hardly Jillian’s best. It’s just all very dull. Here’s hoping her Summer Skin shoot – which debuts this Friday – is much better.

Welcome to the YouTube Classics! This week, with the first match for the SmackDown Divas Title coming this Sunday, our theme is “The All-American Girl”, matches featuring Michelle McCool. We’ve said time and time again how far Michelle has progressed in the ring, and we’ll show you throughout the week, starting from the humble beginnings and ending with her most recent progressions. Today, we have Michelle McCool vs. Jillian Hall from a 2006 SmackDown. Michelle was then in the midst of her “teacher” gimmick, prop ruler and all. She was also heel for that short period, having Krystal with her at ringside while Jillian had Ashley in hers:
TNA has unveiled the cover of it’s new Knockout-centered DVD, Knocked Out recently. For some bizarre reason that is alieen to me, the cover features one of TNA’s less desirable Knockouts – Christy Hemme. As I recall, Christy rarely appears on television and is hardly the centerpiece of the Knockouts. With the likes of Gail Kim, Karen Angle and the Beautiful People… they go for Christy?
What do you think?
Looks like this week’s SmackDown is going to be quite an event! In the final show before the Bash, find out what our Divas are up to below:
– The whole episode centered around Edge and Vickie’s wedding reception, they were married earlier in the day.
– Vickie came out to “throw the bouquet” with all the Divas in the ring. Michelle attacked Natalya during this segment, while Cherry caught the bouquet. As a result, Cherry will have a match with Vickie Guerrero later in the night!
– Natalya def. Cherry with the Sharpshooter. After the match, Vickie came out for her match with Cherry and simply covered her to get the win as Cherry was laid out from her match with Natalya.
– In the closing segment of the show, “The Cutting Edge”, Triple H entered the ring with a wedding gift. He showed footage of Edge flirting with the wedding planner, Alicia Fox.
This week on Raw: Katie Lea got another shot at Mickie James, Beth Phoenix returned to Raw in sensationalistic fashion and Kelly Kelly and Layla got some airtime too!
Thoughts & Reactions
The verdict is in… I am pleased to report I absolutely loved Raw last night! Last week in Redux, I wrote:
Raw’s women’s division is a holding pattern right now, I do think Creative will finally turn their attention to the Divas after the post-Draft honeymoon period is over. Right now they’re working so diligently on making the rest of the product “must seeâ€, the Divas aren’t their top priority.
Well it seems like the honeymoon is over and Creative have finally turned their attention to Raw. And boy, have they! Not only did they finally step up their game with the women’s division but they went one further – they booked the Divas so strongly, making them really part of the Raw mythos. Having them integrate with the Superstars gives a real sense of importance to our beloved Divas and shows that they too can be a pivotal part of Raw rather than just throwing a couple of Divas out there to fill the ‘Diva match quota’ for the week. From top to bottom, I thought this week’s Raw was fantastic and it’s really made the show ‘must watch’ television again. Since the Draft, all the focus has been on the rest of the show that the Divas were only used to fill a quota, that was my only grievance with Raw. However this week, the whole show was solid.
The big, big story coming out of Raw was the fantastic re-introduction of the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix! Beth really was dealt a blow when Melina was injured as it meant WWE had to throw away all their plans for this feud and resulted in Beth not appearing on Raw in a month. After Melina was injured, I was even left wondering just how WWE could bring Beth back at this point; it seemed the only option was to have her challenge Mickie and that’s something I don’t think any of us want to see again anytime soon. Instead, last night, WWE found a fun, interesting and truly creative way to bring back Beth Phoenix and it worked a treat! If you didn’t jump out of your chair or scream out loud when Beth’s music hit last night on Raw, you got issues! The crowd was not at all expecting Beth to rock up and damn, did she receive a hell of a pop or what?! Just when you thought there was no one left to beat Santino, out comes a Diva and not just any Diva at that! I don’t know where they’re going with this but it was interesting while it lasted. It was something new and interesting and you could tell the crowd was so into it, because it was so fresh to the current WWE product. Of course, we’ve seen Chyna come and go but in this day and age, this was something new and I think that’s why we all got so into it. Great job by WWE!
It will be interesting to see where this goes; I don’t think Beth will now become a face as some have suggested. I just don’t think Diva-wise, she could be a face but I would love to see her continue to work with Santino, maybe make this into a short feud while the Mickie-Katie programme is going on or until Candice is ready to come back. Beth is in a unique position, we loved seeing her against Santino last night but we’re designed to hate her when she’s wrestling Candice and Mickie; this could be cool. I think in this programme with Santino (if they follow through) she could be a face but when it comes to the Divas, she just has to be a heel! Hopefully they have her continue to work with Santino, it could be fun – maybe have him demand a rematch next week! This will keep Beth booked up until she’s ready to engage in a programme with another Diva. Even if it was a one off, it was fantastic.
In the opening contest of Raw, we had a rematch from Night of Champions with Mickie vs Katie. I thought this match was a lot better than their match at the pay per view, i got into it and I really wanted to see Katie pick up the win. If Katie and Paul are meant to be heels, wouldn’t it be logical to have Paul try to interfere? Instead, we had a post-match assault which worked well. I like that they are keeping the feud between Mickie and Katie going, even if we have had a two week gap (some things never change)! But yeah, this was great and then the interaction during the Intercontinental Championship match only set this feud up further, I definitely see them continuing to feud for a while with another title match on the cards! I’m suspecting a mixed tag match next week, as I wrote before – having the Divas get involved in storylines with the Superstars really gives them a sense of importance on the show. I’m all for it!
After we got Katie vs Mickie and Beth beating Santino, we got a shot of Kelly freakin’ Kelly! My first thought was “Oh my god, more Divas? This is too good to be true!” and it was unfortunately. Seems like they teased another Divas match simply as a ploy to get Kelly some screentime and further push that Raw has a new, improved flavour with 100% unpredictability. I would have loved another Divas match though! Well I guess what we got later was just as good… Layla! The backstage segment with Jamie Noble and Layla was nicely done, I hope they don’t pair them up though but at least it got Layla on TV!
Overall, I was very pleased with all the appearances of the Divas that we got! I really hope they keep this momentum going into next week, don’t let us down now!
For anyone who knows me they know two of my greatest loves: Divas and TV shows! This TV junkie watches nearly everything and anything, unfortunately USA Network’s hit series Psych isn’t one of them. But I will be watching one particular episode of it’s upcoming third season… Why? Because our very own Women’s Champion, Mickie James will be making a guest appearance this season! i don’t know about you, but given Mickie’s psycho portrayal in 2006, I’d say M to tha J would be a pretty good fit for this dramedy! I mean come on, “dramedy” could be psycho Mickie’s middle name!
Mickie’s guest appearance was made possible since both Monday Night Raw and Psych air on USA, seems like Bonnie Hammer is trying to cross-promote her top rated shows! Hey Bonnie, how about you get the Divas on The Starter Wife? I think the world might just explode if we got Mickie and Grace from Will & Grace on the same screen!
Pretty cool, right? It’s unknown when Mickie’s episode will air but Psych returns for a 16 episode third season from July 18th on USA.
WWE’s resident French-Canadian, Maryse has a new shoot at WWE.com! I have to say, girl looks really good in new shoot “True Blue!” But I can’t help but feel that the spread looks somewhat look an ‘album cover shoot’, perhaps a mix of Paris Hilton’s doomed album and a Christina Aguilera cover? Maryse’s make up looks really au naturale and reminds me somewhat of Christina’s “Stripped” phase, most noticeably the video for “Beautiful.”
Maryse looks pretty darn hot, I think she leaves a lil somethin’ to the imagination in this shoot and that’s always a good thing, girls! What do you think? Vote below!

Drum roll please… We are pleased to announce the relaunch of Diva Dirt‘s audio show, The Diva Dirt Sheet. The Dirt Sheet was a short lived feature here at the site a couple of months ago – hosted by Erin, unfortunately it was cancelled by the network *cough* Alas, just like season four of “Desperate Housewives”, we are back better than ever! The brand new season of the Dirt Sheet will prove to be harder, stronger, faster and even controversial! With a swanky new logo and now hosted by both Erin and Melanie, you can listen to the Dirt Sheet here at Diva Dirt every Thursday.
However for our season premiere, we are launching on a Monday with two editions of the Dirt Sheet this week! Listen below to the season premiere and leave your comments and tell us what you think! We’d like to apologise for A) the sound quality not being too great, we are working on it and B) apologies for sounding like a man!

Help us with this Thursday’s Dirt Sheet! This Thursday, we will be launching a new “discussion point” feature where you, our readers, can have your voices heard! Each week we will have a topic and we’d love if you could comment and give us your thoughts and we will read them out on the show! For this Thursday’s show, we’d like to know what interpromotional matches you would book between the Divas of WWE and the Knockouts of TNA. Leave your comments in this post and you could be mentioned on the Diva Dirt Sheet, this Thursday!
Here’s former WWE Diva, Stacy Keibler looking all breezy for the summer! I somewhat like the casual look Stacy went for, she looks really good with her hair tied back. Who’d have thought brown and pink could go together? The shoes, however, clash like woah. Oh with all the fashion analysis, I forgot to mention that these pictures were taken last night when the Keib was seen at a party for MLB’s All Star Week.
Nerdy fanboys – inhalers at the ready! Stacy will be hitting up Comic Con later this week to promote her new ABC Family series (that’s right folks, Stacy’s got a starring role!), Samurai Girl which will premiere in September.
Meet Jemma Palmer, the female wrestler who has become a household name in the UK as Inferno from the hit Sky One reboot of “Gladiators.” Diva Dirt first introduced you to Jemma in April when we reported that she had been unveiled as one of the new breed of Gladiators – Jemma is an accomplished wrestler, with a purple belt in submission wrestling and even received a tryout from WWE in November 2005. Just a couple of weeks ago, we posted this scorching photoshoot of Inferno from Loaded Magazine. Well now we bring to you the woman herself! Diva Dirt had the opportunity to dish some dirt with Jemma last week on her pro wrestling career and WWE dreams:
Now us Brits know you as Inferno from Gladiators, but you are in fact a trained wrestler. How did you get into wrestling and can you give us some insight into your wrestling career?
I was always into wrestling as a child and grew up watching HHH, Chyna and Shawn Michaels. I did submission wrestling as this was about the closest thing I could do to pro wrestling as well as trampolining for the arial moves, as there wasn’t anywhere else to train. I then was asked to do some modelling work at a local wrestling show and after that did valleting for FWA and Doug Williams, who was on TNA the other day, before getting a scholarship in the USA where I am still in training.
Here at Diva Dirt, we reported that you had a tryout with WWE in 2005 in Manchester. How was the experience?
The experience was great, I got to meet Kurt Angle, Shelton Benjamin, Ricky Steamboat and Finlay. At the time I didn’t have any pro wrestling training under my belt, I got to show them I was willing to take bumps and had a passion for the business and they said liked my look and promo skills too. Overall it was very positive and encouraged me to get into the industry.
Welcome to the YouTube Classics! This week, with the first match for the SmackDown Divas Title coming this Sunday, our theme is “The All-American Girl”, matches featuring Michelle McCool. We’ve said time and time again how far Michelle has progressed in the ring, and we’ll show you throughout the week, starting from the humble beginnings and ending with her most recent progressions. Today, we have Michelle McCool vs. Melina from the June 30th, 2005 SmackDown. This was Melina’s first WWE match, and Michelle was her first real feud. This match showcases Michelle’s greenness, if you will, but I think it serves to show the difference between then and now. It’s not a 5-star match by any means, but I think it’s quite entertaining nevertheless!
Melanie received this e-mail in her inbox this morning which she thought would be fun to share with all! Seems like some fans are taking to the sauce after their messiah, Ashley was released last week:

your head out of your ass and understand that don’t be posting bull shit

were an escort? you wouldn\\\\\\\\’t so STOP posting all this crap about
Ashley and find another person to hate on!!! get a life oh and
it\\\\\\\\’s official I hate your guts and wish you nothing but the worst
:o)
She officially hates my guts, lol. That’s so much better than unofficially hating my guts, I guess?
Get this week’s Diva news rounded up… with commentary! This week we discuss Ashley, the new Knockout Champion, the Bash and more!
Ashley going, going, gone
WWE officially announced the release of Ashley Massaro this week on WWE.com. Ashley initially wrote on her MySpace last week that she had asked for her release due to her daughter being severely ill. The “dirty diva” hadn’t been seen on WWE television since May, when the infamous escort scandal broke.
Doug: I was a little taken back by this at first. This is definitely news you don’t expect to hear in the WWE. Although I’m not Ashley’s biggest fan, I do wish her daughter well.
Erin: I have to be honest.. I thought the MySpace post was fake. It seemed too crazy to be true. I guess part of me wanted it to not be true, since the whole “sick daughter” thing seemed so awful. I didn’t want it to be true, for her sake. But, now that it’s true, I can’t help but feel kind of relieved. She was never my favorite Diva, and as terrible as her situation is and as much as I hope that everything turns out okay for her, she was definitely taking up space that a more talented Diva could use.
Melanie: Whatever the weather, I’m glad she’s gone and it was a cathartic feeling seeing WWE wish her well in her future endeavors. Someone has commented just today to let us know that Ash changed the part about a ‘sick daughter’ in her MySpace blog to ‘sick relative’, if that’s the case wow Ashley, you stoop to new lows. I thought it was somewhat heroic when she first made the announcement, I truly wished her the best but what does it say when the girl is so cowardly that she has to go back and change it? Have some conviction in what you’re writing and what you’re doing. If I was writing that about my son, I’d put all my energy into what I was doing and truly stand by my words, Ashley on the other hand – it says it all really. There are rumours that this could be a cover-up and that Ash simply wanted to leave before she was fired because there was a strong chance of her being released on WWE’s terms. Coward.
More after the cut:
Katie Lea is wearing something not red – hallelujah! I kid.. But it’s nice to see her change up her look a bit, even if that means sporting a frightening-looking manicure. In this photoshoot, aptly titled “Black & Blue”, Katie’s still got her voodoo poses going on, but I can’t say I *hate* them. They may look strange, yes, but I’d honestly take the weird hand poses over the puckering and pouting that’s become a Diva requisite these days. I’m not in love with the shoot, but with any luck, Katie will get better at the posing. Bring some of the sass you have on TV to your shoots, Katie! I’m eagerly waiting for the day you stop giving me the death glare..

Tonight on pay per view, the TNA Knockout Championship will be on the line in a rematch from Thursday night’s Impact. Awesome Kong will get a chance to regain the gold from new champion, Taylor Wilde. Meanwhile, Gail Kim will face off against the Beautiful People’s Angelina Love. Check out our tip sheet below:
TNA Knockout Championship: Taylor Wilde vs Awesome Kong
Doug: Taylor Wilde, Kong has had the belt long enough, and it’s time for more Knockouts to get the chance at it.
Erin: Taylor *just* won the title, so I don’t see her dropping it here. Kong will probably beat the crap out of her, but she’ll narrowly escape with the title, keeping in tact her reign and underdog role. It would be stupid for TNA to have her drop the title right now, since that would defeat the purpose of the feud – for David to outsmart Goliath. It’s not as fun when David’s chasing Goliath, is it?
Melanie: I’m with the others here, Taylor has to win here. It would be stupid to have her drop the title just “three days” *cough* after winning it. To be honest, the whole Kong challenge storyline has sucked and I think it’s damaged Kong’s character. It seems like something you’d pull if you have no other storyline ideas for a character; I truly think TNA is totally playing this by ear and doesn’t have a vision for where the storyline will go. Taylor should win, but I don’t see her getting over as champion, not smart to put the title on her so soon – just ask Gail Kim. I think this could be a move to put the title on someone who is “beatable”, like you could see Taylor drop the title to another Knockout whereas it would be less realistic to have Kong drop the title without hurting her character. Taylor could be a transitional champ, I would love to see Gail get another reign or ODB. The problem is, TNA has so few heels at the moment other than Kong. I don’t realistically see either of the Beautiful People winning the title. Anyhoo that’s a story for another day, Taylor gets the win somehow.
Gail Kim vs Angelina Love
Doug: Angelina Love, she hasn’t won at a PPV yet, and I somehow see her pulling out the victory.
Erin: With ODB and Velvet Sky probably factoring in, it’s tough to say who’ll win.. I’m leaning towards Gail, since she’s the better wrestler, but Velvet and Angel are a better team, so they’ll probably find a way to outsmart Gail and “paperbag” both her and ODB. I’m going with the blondes here.
Melanie: I think this could be a really good match first of all and could raise Angelina to that next level. I think she has what it takes to be a top Knockout (I was so going to write top Diva), so I am pleased they chose Angelina over Velvet for this pay per view match. Ang is the better worker of the two and has more chance of getting over in future. Gail is a top babyface and usually wins all her matches, I’d like to see her actually put over Angelina in this match though. Gail hasn’t got anything to lose by doing so, because she’s been built up so strong as the Trish-esque figure of this division. Angelina for the win.
Thursday night’s Impact show was an overall success for the Knockouts (*surprise, surprise*). For the most part, each lady involved had a formidable appearance. The Knockouts Salinas, Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, ODB, Gail Kim, Karen Angle, Taylor Wilde, Roxxi, Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed were all featured in some way, shape, or form.
Thoughts & Reactions:
Taylor Wilde vs. Awesome Kong (Title Match):
The first Knockouts match was the $25,000 and TNA Knockouts title match between Taylor Wilde and Awesome Kong. Taylor got some good offense but was pretty boring overall. I just mean, that her only real way to get Kong down was to keep dropkicking her. She needs some better strategy in my opinion. During the contest, Roxxi came down to cheer on “the newbie”. Near the end of the contest, Kong hit a flawless “Implant Buster”, which Taylor somehow kicked out of. The end of the match came when Taylor made a surprise roll-up pin on Kong for the win, the $25,000, and the TNA Knockouts Championship. Will Taylor be able to retain the title on tonights PPV “Victory Road”? We’ll just have to wait and see. My bet says she will.
Karen Angle has made it onto Yahoo!’s most searched today, marking the first time a TNA star has been able to achieve such a feat! Karen now joins the likes of Michelle McCool and Torrie Wilson who have also been some of the most searched women of wrestling in the past year!
What do you think has sparked the new wave of interest in the Knockout?
SmackDown’s women’s division is heating up, in fact they’ve usurped the pay per view position usually held by Raw’s Women’s Championship as at the Great American Bash, Michelle McCool and Natalya will do battle for the all new Divas Championship. Meanwhile over on Raw, things seem to have sizzled out since Night of Champions, when Women’s Champ Mickie James defeated Katie Lea. Since then we’ve seen little to no storyline evolution for Raw’s women’s division, in fact it seems to be the weakest link on Raw of late.
It seems to me that Mickie needs a new challenger for her gold, so which Diva should go after it? Should Katie get a rematch and allow their feud to continue? Beth Phoenix has been away for a while, maybe she should return as a monster heel and renew her feud with Mickie? Jillian has yet to get a proper title shot, should it be her? Could Layla inject some new blood into the title scene by challenging Mickie? Or could we get a face on face encounter with Kelly trying to see how good she is in the ring, trying to challenge Mickie for her gold?

The great thing about writing a blog is that things don’t always have to be current! Earlier this week, I came across this footage which I have never seen before – legendary WWE Divas, Sable and Chyna nearly came to blows on Wayne Gretzky’s talk show in 1999. The footage shocked me for certain, I’ve never seen this before and it just so happens that I was a big fan of both at the time and still to this day, respect their contributions to the WWE.
Sable made some allusions to Chyna building her unique physique through steroid abuse, after seemingly taking offence to Chyna burying the women’s division and Women’s Championship. And poor Debra stuck in the middle! It’s somewhat ironic, because a decade later, all three of these Divas have had their fair share of controversy but this was at the peak of their fame and popularity. Watch below:
