Former America’s Next Top Model contestant, Michelle Deighton, will be part of the upcoming cast of Tough Enough, reports ProWrestling.net.
If that name sounds familiar it is because she has appeared on WWE television before. Back in 2005, UPN (then home of SmackDown and ‘Top Model’) had a crossover between the two shows with Deighton appearing on SmackDown and being berated by Melina.
Deighton is a trained wrestler. She began training before she appeared on the fourth season of ‘Top Model’. According to a past interview, she was recruited by ANTM producers after they saw pictures of her on the web.
Michelle is also the wife of former Survivor contestant Jonny Fairplay, who himself has appeared in TNA and ROH.
Deighton will join a cast also including independent wrestler Juliet the Huntress, Christina Crawford (formerly FCW’s Caylee Turner and sister of Alicia Fox) and Miss USA, Rima Fakih.

As well as the Femmes Fatales show in Montreal, a few other female wrestling tidbits of note:
Jersey Shore star Angelina Pivarnick made another appearance for TNA tonight at the company’s house show in Rahway, New Jersey.
She, along with Cookie, escorted Robbie E to the ring for his triple threat match with Kazarian and Shannon Moore.

Pivarnick is currently training in Jersey at the Independent Wrestling Federation.
The in-ring debut of Jersey Shore star Angelina Pivarnick this past Thursday on Impact proved to be a dud in the ratings.

Diva Dirt has a lot of exclusive news and notes coming out of WSU’s 4th Anniversary Show last weekend.
* The iPPV is said to have been a big success and was the best selling WSU iPPV so far and even exceeded the allotted bandwidth.
* TNA Knockout, Cookie was backstage. Apparently she was going to appear on the show as a surprise but TNA pulled her off at the last minute.
* I’m told former WWE Women’s Champion, Ivory, was a big hit with the roster. A lot of the girls asked for pictures with her and she watched the entire show from the audience. When it came time for her spot during the Spirit Championship mach, the whole roster was said to have been watching from backstage.
* Brittney Savage and Mercedes Martinez were considered to be locks for WWE Tough Enough which is why they were booked as having their belts in jeopardy going into the show. The rumor is that WWE nixed the list which was put together by the production company behind the show, Shed Media. The original line-up had names such as Savage, Martinez as well as Austin Aries, JD Maverick and others.
Week two of women’s wrestling season sees NCW Femmes Fatales return to action tomorrow night in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The line-up will see the debuts of Ayako Hamada and Allison Danger as well as returning stars including champion LuFisto, Cheerleader Melissa and plenty of other names.
Line-up after the cut!
