TMZ writes: “Steve did her one better … and hooked her up with the TWO biggest male porn stars in the business — Evan and Lee Stone — and together, the threesome shot a gnarly skin flick … tentatively called “Backdoor into Chyna.”
It’s clear that our favorite Fox was inspired by S&M songstress, Rihanna’s red tresses when she changed up her ‘do last year, but last night, I can’t lie: We totally did a double-take when Alicia appeared on screen during WWE’s ‘Be a Star’ commercial at Over the Limit.
Alicia Fox‘s resemblance to the Bajan popstar is uncanny in this commercial. But that’s not a bad thing at all. Foxy looks amazing with her red locks straightened.

In her first match back after several years of self-imposed wrestling exile, Chyna proved to be a comeback queen tonight at TNA’s Sacrifice pay per view.
Chyna, teaming with Kurt Angle, was victorious in her in-ring return over Karen and Jeff Jarrett.
Perhaps the most popular person in the Impact Zone during the entire PPV, fans chanted to see Chyna step into the ring, giving the one-time 9th Wonder of the World a huge ovation.
Going into tonight’s Sacrifice pay per view, Tara had a choice — her allegiance with Madison Rayne or her freedom courtesy of Mickie James. She went for the latter. Helping Mickie win her Knockouts Championship match at the pay per view, Tara clocked Rayne with a punch with the self-professed Queen’s own loaded glove. The … Read more
Diva Dirt’s Eric is at the FWE show in Brooklyn, NY where TNA Knockouts Winter and Rosita will compete with Christy Hemme as special guest referee. Jillian was supposed to wrestle but backed out of the booking due to personal reasons.
Results below:
The show began with an announcement that Jillian Hall would not be in attendance. They played a message from Jillian apologizing for her absence but offered to sing a song. She began to sing “Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears.
The crowd rudely boos and Winter comes out looking so fierce. Winter expresses disappointment at not facing Jillian since she travelled all that way to disgusting Brooklyn. She also said New York was like London but with no class. She announces that she has a replacement and its Rosita, coming out to the Mexican America theme and looking amazing. Absolutely gorgeous in person. Rosita says she is excited to face Winter again since she beat her for the tag belts. She announces that she has a special guest ref in order to prevent Winter from doing creepy stuff.
Kurt Angle spoke to the Busted Open radio show about a number of topics, including the arrival of Chyna in TNA.
Diva Dirt has a little sneak peak of the interview which will air on Monday.
Angle says of Chyna: “She looked good. She looked healthy too. You know what, even though we only had 1,400 people there, the response that just came from those fans sent a big message to Hulk Hogan and Dixie Carter, and myself as well, that Chyna will always be a huge name. It was cool because when they introduced her…people were like ‘holy, no way. Chyna. She’s coming. Oh my God,’ and then she came out and she looked good. It was like, she is back. It was one of the feel-good moments for Impact Wrestling.
UPDATE: Diva Dirt has learned from Jillian that she will not be attending tomorrow’s FWE show in Brooklyn, NY due to personal reasons.
FWE has announced Rosita will replace Jillian as Winter’s opponent. Meanwhile, Christy Hemme will serve as special guest referee.

SmackDown just aired in Australia and a couple of readers sent in word of an update to the previously revealed Extreme Rules match this Sunday. For spoiler purposes, it is in spoiler tags: Thanks to Matthew & Nick for the tip.
WWE shook up the Divas roster in the annual WWE Draft today with five Divas finding new homes.
SmackDown gained three new Divas in Alicia Fox, Natalya and Tamina, while Raw gained the duo of Beth Phoenix and Kelly Kelly.
Thoughts: While it had been widely expected for Beth to move over to Raw, seeing her and Kelly move is a shocker. That now means SmackDown will have to build its division around a new top babyface, likely Natalya or whichever member of LayCool turns face. I hope to see a Tamina heel turn, however, because I think she has a lot of potential in a Khali/Big Show-like role.
The new WWE Divas rosters after the jump!
WSU will be holding two matches on May 27th that could have implications for its 6/25 iPPV.
