Good job as ever team.
Keep it up, I love how this site is becoming the pinnacle of Diva websites.
Reliable, fun and interesting. You’re just great.
As I say seemingly every week, the show gets better and better each time. I loved Kristal on and everything flowed together nicely. Would definitely be up for Jenny Cash guest spot, as well as Kristal back again. The How You Doin skit was priceless lmao and overall another awesome show to everyone involved, even Miles =]
Krystal & Bobby Lashley Broke Up..
Just Read This On her Twitter
”Hello everyone Bobby and I have split, but remain great friends. He is a constant in our son’s life and a tremendous father. I wish him” …
Oops forgot to post the whole thing lolz
This was amazing! Kristal seems like such a lovely person, really down to earth and funny, like somebody you want to be friends with.
Loved it.
Melanie saying “how ya doin” was probably the funniest part. Loved it! :)
It was nice to have Kristal on too! Hope to see her back on soon.
What would make Ask Kristal better? Having Kristal do the Diva Fan after the questions LOL
Great show! Loved it from start to finish
Another great edition as I said I’d love for Diva Dirt to talk to Beverly Mullins (Courtney Taylor) at some point, I know its a bit of a Marmite issue with her, but I loved her during her time in FCW and even though ‘she’s another blonde’ or ‘just another model’ 2 years is pretty dedicated still.
Nice to hear about Melina too, I heard a lot of stuff about her being a Diva backstage, although hearing this about Melina makes you think whether a lot of stuff about Maryse is true too, because I think she also gets it in the neck quite a bit.
Also good to hear more about Jenny Cash too, I love the way she’s not just been forgotten, she has real determination for the business and she shows another side to the whole model argument. I’d love to hear more Express News & Gossip and Cha-Chinging from her in Double D in the future.
I agree with Gail #1 this site is becoming like a real prime reliable source and I love these shows which mixes news with opinions and just general having a laugh and I always know when listening to this show in particular, I’ll probably be laughing within the hour.
I loved the little drugs topic, I not only laughed but I learnt something and then it went onto “Ya Feelin’ Me” which made me flashback- loved it. That Twitter post sounds sad, but then at the same time it’s good her and Bobby are still getting on. I loved the “How You Doin?” thing, Melanie getting all embararessed about it and the pent up silence as she went to do it. Loved it! “I don’t like you, I just think you’re cute” that was funny too, bless Kristal. The wrestling business sounds so weird, like the fact that Kristal doesn’t know about her status, it just sounds so left in the air, but it does leave hope open for a future return, I actually saw Kristal in an old battle royale eliminating Victoria which was nicely nostalgiac. I love the fact that in debates Steven becomes a spokesperson for the whole male race, it always make me laugh :P
“I know you been talking smack about me!” I love Kristal’s outbursts and the fact she also reilliterated the whole anti-model issue and ‘paying your dues’. It was interesting to hear more about backstage, it just makes you want to figure out who it is that’s like this- I’d laugh if it was Kelly Kelly, but on the other hand I wouldn’t be surprised if a darker character lurked behind the ‘I love WWE’ pull-string doll, at the same time it’s weird to think how unified the Divas look on television (I’d say moreso than Knockouts as they interact in more matches) yet can seem so horrible backstage, I’d expect bitching but then at the same time it just seems weird to me how pally they all are on-screen compared to backstage.
I love Naughty, Naughty it always gets a laugh. Perhaps my favourite segment of them all.
So Kristal finished doing this and her and Bobby have split? Props to her for making the show then, that’s awesome.
The show is getting a bit too girly for me, but that’s just my tastes but I will still listen to it every week; there is some great humour from everyone which is what appeals to me more than the beauty products and stuff. I thought it was also great to see so much crammed in, and I like that Kristal came in later on, that was a good touch.
And I kept hearing funny noises throughout and thought “Is that a baby or something?” Turns out Miles was trying to get into the spotlight haha, funny when he was introduced to the show.
I have to say though, I have a Naughty Naughty this week, what are you doing Kristin taking drugs haha. I thought that was really funny and I like how Melanie and Erin were practically silent throughout that part (except a few laughs) and then the experts Kristin and Steven were bigging up that Salvia or whatever it was called haha.
Hopefully the next show will be as good, if not better. :)
another great episosde :D love kristin & friends and DivaDirt
In the beginning did melanie say she joined wrestlicous or is just me ? lol.
NVM!!!!!!! LOL im so stupid because kristin sounds a bit like ERIN my mistake, i feel violated now……:l
