Engaged!

The first-ever TNA Knockouts Champion and former WWE Women's Champion is engaged to be married!

WWE Diva Gail Kim is set to marry Executive Chef Robert Irvine from the Food Network. Her fiance appeared on a television show this morning and announced that the two of them will be married in May 2012, putting to rest weeks of speculation about their relationship.

Enormous congratulations are in order to Gail and Robert, and all the best to Gail in planning her wedding, which I heard is overwhelming and frustrating and satisfying all at once.

I should also note that with Kharma coming in, there is a great shot that we could see a renewed feud and Gail can get the push she so justly deserves.

One of Maxim's Hottest

Huge congratulations to WWE Diva Kelly Kelly, real name Barbie Blank, for making it onto Maxim's Hottest 100 women in the world list.

Kelly made it to number 82, and to be featured on the list at all is an enormous accomplishment.

Also making the list at number 72 is former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler, who left WWE in 2005 after her stint on Dancing With The Stars.

Both of the lovely Divas deserve a huge congratulations. Stacy is quite well-known to Maxim, having done a few cover spreads and making the list before.

For Kelly, however, I do believe this is the first time she's made it onto the Hot 100 list, and for that, congratulations!

Congratulations, WWE!

Big congratulations are in order for WWE this morning.

Debuting the night after WrestleMania, the new, re-vamped and rebooted edition of WWE Tough Enough has been named one of the 14 shows to watch this spring by Yahoo! TV, joining the ranks of their other "Must-See" shows including Body of Proof, starring Dana Delaney and The Voice, judged by Maroon 5's Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera.

This is exciting, as it's a pretty WWE blockbuster version of the show, with WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin hosting, and the trainers being in the form of WCW alumnus Bill DeMott and Booker T, and legendary WWE Diva Trish Stratus.

Make A Wish Milestone

TMZ.Com is reporting about WWE today, and, believe it or not, it's actually great news.

The celebrity news website has announced that there will be thirty children from the Make A Wish Foundation coming to WrestleMania this weekend, from countries like Canada, the US and even Australia. They will be having a chance to meet with Superstars and Divas, along with a pizza party hosted by John Cena.

Also, John will be receiving something for doing this this weekend -- he will be receiving an award for passing the very impressive milestone of 200 wishes granted. It puts him only with three other people who have -- Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhart, Jr., and Hulk Hogan.

Congratulations to John Cena, who has been an incredible ambassador to the Make A Wish Foundation.

Former WWE Diva and TNA Hardcore Country Knockout Mickie James is set to perform at the CMA Country Music Festival, according to her official website, MickieJames.com.

Hot on the heels of the Maria Kanellis EP last year, Mickie released her debut country album, Strangers and Angels. She also currently performs her theme on TNA Impact.

Other acts slated to perform at this year's CMA Festival are Brad Paisley, Sara Evans, Zac Brown Band, Little Big Town, Josh Turner, Easton Corbin, The JaneDear Girls, Ashton Shepherd, and Chris Young, who are all joining the list with fellow acts Trace Adkins, Jason Aldean, The Band Perry, Sheryl Crow, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride, Rascal Flatts, Reba McEntire (who I saw live when I was 10 -- she is great), Darius Rucker, Blake Shelton and Keith Urban, alongside Grammy Award winners Lady Antebellum.

Obviously, this is a huge opportunity for Mickie James. Congratulations! The CMA Country Music Festival takes place from June 9-12. No camping is permitted according to musicfestivaljunkies.com, and it is $115 for a four-day pass. It takes place in downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

New Celebrity HOF Inductee

WWE has just announced another member for the 2011 Hall of Fame class in the form of this man to my right, Price is Right and former Whose Line Is It Anyway? host Drew Carey.

For those who don't remember, in 2001, Drew made an appearance at the 2001 Royal Rumble to promote his improv pay-per-view. Thanks to some maniacal thinking by Chairman Mr. McMahon, Drew found himself competing in the Royal Rumble and coming face-to-face with the monster Kane.

Just recently, former WWE Superstar and current TNA Superstar Brian Kendrick appeared on The Price Is Right.

Drew Carey joins Pete Rose in the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame. Congrats, Drew!
