WWE Divas News (Page 4)

Lena Yada was eliminated from the WWE Diva Search contest Monday night on Raw.

Now, she's posted a blog on her MySpace regarding her experience throughout the WWE competition Mainly, Lena says Brooke Gilbertsen shouldn't win the contest and that she's pulling for Eve Torres. Here's what she had to say regarding Brooke:

"I'm rooting for Eve all the way. Sorry Brooke fans...I still think she's a sweetheart, but she's not there for the right reasons. She just there to have fun. She brought print out pages of all the WWE wrestlers to see if she could memorize them (she didn't know anyone besides Candice!), has no clue STILL what a heel or face is, thinks she can wrestle because its all a show and they would help her out by jumping and falling for her.

Don't get me wrong I LIKE the girl. I just think she's got her head in the clouds, doesn't deserve to win it, and doesnt give enough dedication or commitment to WWE that it deserves.

Here are a couple pictures of 2007 WWE Diva Search contestant, Naomi Kirk:

Taryn Terrell is one of five remaining contestants in this year's WWE Diva Search.

She recently took a swipe at former WWE Diva Stacey Keibler for abandoning the business that made her a household name.

In explaining her desire to commit to wrestling, Terrell said:

"I want to stay in the business. I see people like the whole Stacy Keibler thing and it's almost like, you know, she used it to get herself in the entertainment industry. She's trying to be an actress…which obviously is not working out too well. But, yeah, I want to stay in the business and of course, I want to stay with WWE."

• Ashley Massaro was voted out of Survivor last night. She should be back in the WWE in the near future.

• Lilian Garcia will be performing at New York City’s Knitting Factory on October 11, in support of her upcoming CD. The CD, titled “Quiero Vivir!,” will be released on October 9.

Regarding the WWE Diva Search:

WWE will continue to air taped footage of the contest over the next few weeks. The three finalists will then appear live before a crowd at the 10/22 Raw in Nebraska. The 2007 WWE Diva Search winner will be announced the next week at the Cyber Sunday pay-per-view in Washington D.C.

With the 2007 WWE Diva search underway, TMZ.com has posted a video making fun of the supposed talent of contestants.

Check it out here.

Victoria posted a blog in response to WWE rumors of Divas being linked to steroids. Below is the full statement:

I'm sick to my stomach about a couple of things, and I want to address them. First, I get some emails today asking me if I'm one of the WWE Divas that "a number of WWE sources" claim are using drugs. Where did that information come from? Where did that quote come from? Wrestling websites. So I want to address those wrestling websites...

My mom is a wrestling fan. My nieces and nephews are wrestling fans. I have many girls and young women who look up to me. I do not, and have not ever violated the wellness program, even before it existed. For those who do not know, I used to work in the medical field. I know that the drugs that unnamed WWE Divas are accused of taking can cause anything from sudden death to organ failure to serious lifelong medical conditions.

It's irresponsible to suggest to young women that they need to take drugs to look like a WWE Diva. We all have serious diet and training regimens. My trainer has trained over 100 professional athletes, and I train as hard as any of them. That's what it takes to look like a Diva. So I am giving three options to any website that suggested that any of the WWE Divas have violated the wellness program.You can choose any one:

1)Print a retraction and apology to the WWE Divas.

2) Produce any of your "number of WWE sources"

3) Contact WWE. Pay my WWE appearance fee. I will take a polygraph test saying what I have just previously stated. And if I fail, not only will I reimburse you for the WWE appearance fee, but I will donate $10,000 to your favorite charity.

Reportedly, Extreme Expose will be posing for the next WWE-themed Playboy shoot. That report is likely connected to recent interview comments by Brooke, who expressed interest in doing a spread for the magazine.

This will put the Divas in company with Sable, Torrie Wilson and Ashley Massaro.

WWE.com revealed the eight finalists for this year's WWE Diva Search competition:

Taryn Terrell - Mandeville, LA
Naomi Kirk - Los Angeles, CA
Brooke Gilbertsen - San Diego, CA
Lena Yada - Los Angeles, CA

Lyndy Frieson - Vancouver, BC

Unlike in past years, much of this season's competition will be carried out on the official WWE website. The first competition video will be posted on WWE.com on September 3; voting begins on September 10.

Don't worry, Victoria wasn't up to anything dangerous.

Here's what recently went down from the WWE Diva herself, courtesy of a post on her MySpace blog yesterday:

"So I was on the WWE Asia/Australia Tour. We fly from California to Bangkok, perform in Bangkok, then fly to Singapore. As I'm going through customs to get into Singapore, my purse goes through the x-ray machine. The security guy tells me they have to look through my bag. I didn't see anyone else get stopped, so I figured nothing good was coming out of this. A couple other security people come over. They pull a bullet shell casing out of my purse.

Let me explain that. I think I mentioned a few months back that my uncle passed away when I was in Europe. I didn't get to go to the funeral, and because he had a lengthy career in the U.S. Air Force, they gave him a 21 gun salute at his funeral.

My brother collected the spent shell casings from the salute and had them engraved with his name and the date he passed. I appreciated that, and I keep it with me. Well Singapore Airport security wants to know why I have a spent bullet in my purse. They pull me aside, and pretty soon, police officers come up with some kind of investigator. Meanwhile WWE office folk realize that something fishy is going on, so they step aside with me.

The investigator questioned me for a while. They really asked me the same questions over and over. The whole deal took about 30 minutes. Everyone was very polite, and I absolutely understand they have a reason to be cautious, but the whole thing was quite surreal.

They ended up confiscating the shell casing, which I hope WWE can get back from the Singapore government, and sending me on my way."
