    A day late, but whatever. This week on SmackDown! we were treated to a rare sight on WWE television – two Divas matches.

    Welcome to the third edition of a new feature here at Diva Dirt – Screen Sirens!

    TNA continues to ride on WWE’s coattails, this time using the Knockouts. One of the signature pieces of TNA, if not the most thriving portion of the company, why stoop so low and lower yourselves to taking pot shots at the WWE Divas? That’s exactly what TNA does in it’s [...]

    America’s Next Top Model may have wrapped it’s tenth cycle last night, but it is just the 10th Top Model getting a golden opportunity – Mickie James is too! The Diva is seen posing with her Women’s Championship belt in her latest WWE.com photoshoot. Now, usually I’m not too keen [...]

     
  • DJs Are a Matter of Life or Death

    Uncategorized May 15, 2008 8:39 pm 6 comments

    WWE.com has an article up in which they question Superstars and Divas on what they would put in their own personal “survival vault”. The answers from the Divas range from the trivial (a DJ?) to the sentimental (friends and family): “I’d definitely put an iPod in there with me singing,” [...]

    Yes, even I am kicking myself for choosing a Britney title, but in my defence it felt fitting. I would have left it to Erin to report on this photoshoot but I couldn’t resist when I stumbled upon the above picture. Melina looks as though she’s just let out a [...]

We’re not talking about Kelly Kelly vs Layla part 13544634, we’re talking about a competetive, physical match-up like RAW and SmackDown! This was a really good match, though it is [...]

    Yeah, I know.. That was harsh. Can you blame me, though? I mean, everyone knows that a new WWE.com photoshoot must mean time for a few laughs (and potshots, but that’s a given). Honestly, it’s too easy to make fun of this – “escort” scandal or not. The fact that [...]
