Diva Dirt caught up with some of the stars of GLOW as they reunited for a public appearance for the first time in 20 years.
Check out our interview with Little Egypt below:
Classic footage of Little Egypt in GLOW:
Tough Enough contestant Christina Crawford spoke to Florida college UCF’s newspaper this past weekend talking about her current run on the reality show and her dream to follow in the footsteps of sister and current Diva, Alicia Fox. She says: “I would love love love to win that title one day,” Crawford, a senior interpersonal … Read more
High quality fan footage from live event in France this weekend. Thanks to Mike for the tip.
Alicia Fox
Alicia displays her ability to make a photoshoot interesting based merely on what she brings to the table: her look and poses. Her dress and matching shoes are vibrant and unique, the sleeves puffing out like some sort of bird’s defense mechanism. That’s not to say it’s not a good look on her–it is! It probably helps that the dress’s pattern looks somewhat like feathers and her hair is appropriately messy. Think of it like Natalie Portman in Black Swan, but she’s turning into a tropical bird instead of a swan. All bird references aside, Alicia pulls off the look with ease, and her poses are, as usual, a natural mixture of cute and sexy. A think a brighter setting–even a white studio background–would have better complimented this lively look. Still, Alicia does more than her fair share of the work in making this photoshoot pop.

Kelly Kelly
From one photoshoot the lacks any sort of setting to one that is practically alive with activity! Kelly poses in front of a interesting building and a gorgeous body of water, and her outfit is sleek, if decidedly un-touristy. The all-over black lessens the visual impact of the tied-up shirt and shredded jeans and makes them look pretty stylish instead of overdone. Her poses look less like a Diva posing in a photoshoot and more like a traveler taking photos for Facebook, but it would probably look strange if she was pulling out all the stops, don’t you think? I think Kelly does the right thing here, smiling, standing statuesquely and letting the scenery do the talking. This results in some really beautiful photos.

We have more exclusive photos from the annual Cauliflower Alley Club reunion earlier this week!
During the three day festivities there were plenty of female wrestling stars on hand including a GLOW reunion which saw the likes of Little Egypt, MTV and others come together.
Happy Good Friday and Earth Day! I hope you all celebrated Jesus and everything he did for us if that is your religious belief and I also hope you recycled because it’s important to protect our planet. Welcome to another wonderful edition of the SD Redux and without beating around the bush (because I have nothing witty to say) lets on with the show. This week’s Diva portion of SmackDown kicks off with a replay of the Lay-Cool disaster from the previous week, as well as a new edition of Couple’s Therapy. Lets take a look at how it all played out this week.
Michelle McCool and Layla are both dressed much better this week than last. Layla returns to being sexy in short shorts and a wife beater, and Michelle is also rocking daisy dukes, as well as a slinky silver, off-the-shoulder top. LOVING it! Michelle tells the doctor that this therapy has been working wonders for them because last week on SmackDown, Layla lost yet another match! Michelle gives a sarcastic “yay” and Layla pretty much kills her with a dirty look.
Hello there! Didn’t I just see you guys like four days ago? Geeze! I love you. Really. Last week, we saw two BFFs finally combust into a fiery pit of despair. We also saw a number one contender, gimp arm and all, come into her inner strength. This week, we’ve got a tag team match for the Knockouts Tag Team Championships and some backstage antics that could leave you either majorly excited or scratching your head in question. Either way, I’m determined to make this fun so grab your refreshments, take a comfy seat and turn up the volume because I’m going to need your full attention. I demand it! Do you know who I am?! Who do you think you are?! I’m the Queen! Me! ME! Oh just go read the Write-Up already! =P
We start things off backstage where it seems like the cameras are spying on Madison Rayne and Tara. The former Knockouts Champion is all up in Tara’s grill, telling that it was her fault she lost her title to Mickie James four days prior. She says that for all she knows, the two of them are in cahoots. Tara reminds her that it was her locked in the cage with Mickie and Madison goes on to say that she wasn’t there when she needed her. From what I recall, Madi, you demanded Tara stay in the back and play with little dollies while you unceremoniously got your ass beat. But that’s just one person’s reflection. Oh wait..nope, Tara remembers it the same way I do. Maybe we’re in cahoots! CAHOOTS!
Last night’s WWE Superstars saw a first (I think, don’t quote me!) as Maryse and Natalya did battle for the first time in singles action. It was a clash of the Canadians as the two former Divas Champs represented Montreal and Calgary respectively.
Watch below:
The website Cageseat Seats has published an article looking at Daffney’s recent filing of a worker’s comp cliam against her former employer, TNA Wrestling.
The article highlights some of the conditions Daffney worked under while in the company, including being ‘pressured’ into doing hardcore spots that led to injuries.
Read some highlights below:
Diva Dirt’s Mr Glamazon was on hand at this week’s Cauliflower Alley Club reunion this week, where soon-to-be WWE Diva, Awesome Kong — real name Kia Stevens — was the recipient of the first ever Women’s Wrestling (Active) Award for her accomplishments thus far in the industry.

SHIMMER star Melanie Cruise received a tryout with TNA last night prior to the Impact tapings. Cruise lost to Sarita via roll-up. Chicago-based Cruise is 6ft, much taller than most of her SHIMMER peers and probably taller than most of the Knockouts also. Like Isis the Amazon, she could fill a ‘giant’ type role which … Read more

Former Tough Enough champion, Jackie Haas blogs on the new series of Tough Enough. Read her insight and opinion on the series every week exclusively here at Diva Dirt.
Called it!
Mama’s know best… did I not say last week that the wrestling business is not for those that have little kiddos – could not agree with Michelle any more to make the decision to walk away from “her dream” to take care of her baby. Maybe someday will be the right day for her and I wish her the best of luck on putting it all together.
Mikael – again, who the heck is this? Right choice in the elimination. When Stone Cold is trying to pull charisma out of your ass and you have a promo that puts me to sleep, bye-bye. Sure we will see him with a developmental contract (as the majority of the contestants will probably end up like this sooner or later). He had the build but that’s it; at least in my eyes. Next…

Responding to reports that she has signed with WWE, including a report here at Diva Dirt, Britani Knight released a statement on her Facebook page denying that she’d been signed (yet).
Britani writes:
Diva Dirt has learned that 18-year-old British wrestling prodigy, Britani Knight signed with WWE last night following a successful second tryout.
Knight, who was just crowned the first ever Pro-Wrestling: EVE Champion a couple of weeks ago, first had a tryout with WWE last November.
She comes from a family of wrestlers: Her mother and father, Saraya and Ricky, are staples of the British wrestling scene. Her brothers are wrestlers also.
As mentioned earlier today, Serena received a TNA tryout dark match at tonight’s tapings. The results of the match are below: *Winter b. Serena Deeb with the catatonic backbreaker. (Source: WrestlingNewsWorld)
Spoilers for the April 21st Impact:
Former WWE Diva, Serena Deeb is at tonight’s Impact taping in Orlando and will be taking part in a match. New Knockouts Champion, Mickie James revealed the news on Twitter, writing: “Bout to watch my siz @SerenaDeeb in a Lil TNA Knockout action! I can’t wait!” It is not yet known if this is a … Read more
Spoilers for Friday’s SmackDown:
After losing her Divas Championship to Brie Bella last week, Eve Torres is looking to get back on the winning track. Who’s her first target, you ask? None other than the twin sister of the new champ, Nikki Bella. Can Eve redeem herself by taking out Nikki or will she chalk up another loss? Check out the match below:
Out first is the former champion, Eve, decked out in gold. Not to nitpick, but seems to have loss some of that spark and fire she had last week in that backstage segment. I would have liked for her to come out with a bit more attitude, considering the shady way she lost her title. Then again, that’s WWE for you.
Out next is Nikki Bella, accompanied by her sister Brie and apparently they have something to say. Brie says how much she’s looking forward to their rematch, but it might never happen because of the draft. First of all, that “promo” felt really forced and shoehorned in. The only explanation I can think of is that one of these three women will be getting drafted next week. Mark my words.
Well, ain’t that a doozy? A trifecta of great things happened on Tough Enough last night: Michelle gone! Michael with a K gone! Stacy returns!
Let’s face it: Former ‘Top Model’ star, Michelle Deighton, wasn’t long for the WWE world and I had my suspicions she’d be the next female to go, but I didn’t see this coming. Instead of being cut, Michelle pulled herself out of the competition, citing that she missed her daughter and wanted to go home and be a mom. Well, despite not warming to her in the first two weeks, Michelle totally won over my respect for her decision.
That wasn’t all, folks! As well as Michelle, our douche-canoe of the season, Michael with a K, packed his bags and headed back to Jersey where he apparently has nothing to go back to… you know, except a small thing like a wife. She must feel so loved and appreciated.
Let us watch this week’s show back and dissect!
Watch last night’s TLC after show below:
Pro-Wrestling: EVE Champion and SHIMMER star, Britani Knight will receive another WWE tryout today prior to the SmackDown tapings in London. Britani first had a tryout last year. Good luck to her!
