Kelly Mixes it Up… Kind of
Another day, another dual photoshoot. Today brings us Kelly Kelly in “Pink Perfection”, obviously named for the old Homecoming dress she’s wearing in the first half of the shoot. I’m not a fan of hot pink in general, especially on a dress. It makes it look cheap, hence the Homecoming reference. The cut of it … Read more

From Trashy to Classy in No Time
WWE.com’s started a new trend with their two-for-one photoshoots, and Candice Michelle‘s latest photoshoot, “Curing Blues” isn’t an exception. The first half features Candice in baggy jeans and a lacy bra top – hardly a classy (or flattering) look. Her abs look amazing, though. I know they’re going for a slightly grungy, seductive look, what … Read more
Kelly’s Got a Killer Moonsault
2008 has been kind to Kelly Kelly, the Diva upped her game in the ring and began to be pushed as a performer rather than an awkward dancer on ECW. In June, she got her big break by coming to Raw and since she’s been wrestling more than ever – and has impressed many. And … Read more
Maria Keeps It in the Family
You can tell that SmackDown’s Maria is one of those ‘date where you work’ kinda girls, just ask CM Punk or another WWE Superstar who I won’t name. But it seems as though the red head has had her fill of the muscly wrestlers of WWE and has now moved onto the geeky behind the … Read more
Natalya’s Still in the Spotlight
Like a string of Christmas lights, Natalya is positively glowing in her new photoshoot, “Shining”. Although, a lot of that has to do with the flash of the camera – it lights up the blue wall for an interesting effect. It’s almost spotlighting Natalya, and the sequined yellow dress she’s wearing makes her pop even … Read more

Michelle’s a Little Over-Dressed
Michelle McCool has gone dress shopping, it seems. Her new photoshoot, “All Dressed Up” feature the Divas Champion in two different dresses and settings – one colorful and flowery, and other dark and sleek. It’s almost a Yin and Yang situation. I’m loving both of them, and her gorgeous new hairstyle only adds to it. … Read more
Why So Innovative, TNA?
Either this is a spooky coincidence or TNA is trying to send one final blow to WWE, this Christmas. Hot off the heels of WWE’s holiday-themed 8 Diva tag match at Armageddon, TNA has pulled the same shtick for their Christmas episode of Impact.

Stand Aside, Angelina – Maryse Has Her Claws Out
With all the “Batman 3” Catwoman rumors running rampant, it almost seems appropriate for Maryse channel the feisty feline in her new photoshoot, “Bad in Black”. The black leather, slick hair, and black boots? Come on – it’s unmistakable! Though, I don’t know if she matches up to the likes of Angelina Jolie or Rachel … Read more
Dust Off Your Santa Outfits, Divas!
… Because we know you have ’em! It’s almost obligatory that the Divas have a slutty Santa outfit in their wardrobe for parading around on television or Christmas-themed shoots at WWE.com (more like Christmas at the Playboy Mansion-themed shoots). Well tomorrow night on pay per view, will be just another excuse for eight lucky (and … Read more

Well, That’s One Way to Wear Lace..
I’m always happy to see Candice Michelle‘s softer side, and this photoshoot, “Black & White” definitely shows it. Well, at least from the shoulders up. Her hair and makeup is goreous, but further down is a different story. I just can’t say I like the lacy jumpsuit – it looks incredibly awkward on her. The … Read more
Victoria Retiring From WWE
I guess we knew it was eventual but it really does sadden me to report that SmackDown Diva, Victoria, is planning her retirement. According to PWInsider’s Mike Johnson, the news has been making rounds backstage at WWE and has been a major talking point among the stars. Apparently, Victoria may have handed in her notice … Read more
Apparently, Divas Grow on Trees
You want more diverse photoshoots? Well, Mickie James is here to serve! Her new photoshoot, “Mother Nature” takes its title quite literally, in fact. The WWE’s resident free spirit has taken to the trees, making for some unique poses. It seems a bit awkward to be balancing on branches while wearing a bright, bold maxi … Read more
Raw Redux – December 08, 2008
I’ve always made this observation and I’ve always been right: It seems that the Divas get even less screen time than usual when we have these big three hour Raws. Where’s the sense in that? No Divas match left Melanie disappointed. So Beth Phoenix is the Diva of the Year for 2008 and she has … Read more
