Keibler Alert!

In a recent interview, former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler announced that this season she would be making an appearance on Tough Enough. This is huge news for WWE fans, as this marks the first time Stacy has done a WWE-related appearance since her 2006 departure.

For those who don't know, Stacy started out in WCW, before going to WWF-now E in the Invasion in 2001. In 2005, Stacy left to do Dancing With The Stars and never came back. She claims she was released from her contract.

I can't wait to see what Stacy has to contribute to Tough Enough. Stacy knew what it was like to have the appearance of a Diva, though she wasn't a credible threat in the ring. I think her knowledge of the business from two companies, however, would make her advice to the contestants invaluable.

So Glad To Have Her Back

Following up with news on the "Brunette Mafia", Diva-Dirt.Com has posted a recent interview with it's Diva Dirt Legacy award winner Trish Stratus, who is probably my all-time favorite Diva.

Trish Stratus announced that at first she was hesitant to do Tough Enough, citing that they weren't going to tell her who was involved. "The last time I said yes without knowing, I wound up with LaToya Jackson and Erik Estrada," she laughed, referring to the cancelled reality show Armed and Famous, where she took part as a police officer in Muncie, Indiana.

However, when she states that WWE told her Steve Austin would be hosting, she said that she was in.

Trish also professed to love LayCool, the team her and Jersey Shore cast member Snooki are facing at this Sunday's pay-per-view, especially citing Layla, as Divas who have come a long way and done great things in their career.

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.
