If you recall, a mysterious blonde woman attacked Torrie Wilson after a match on an episode of SmackDown in September 2007. She made one more television appearance (in a backstage segment with Vickie Guerrero) and then disappeared. The women in question is of course Krissy Vaine, who along with her boyfriend Ryan O’Reilly, quit World Wrestling Entertainment, as the rigorous schedule proved to be too much for them. Vaine decided to retire from the wrestling business altogether whereas O’Reilly returned to the indy scene a few months later. The two were chastised for their decision to quit what most in the industry would consider a dream job. In an update on her hiatus from the wrestling business, Krissy Vaine has decided to return to the industry. She is currently taking indy bookings out of Greensboro, North Carolina. Vaine’s “Team Blondage” tag team partner, Amber O’Neal, is ecstatic to say the least of her friend’s return to the squared circle. The two are getting back together again for a “Team Blondage” reunion as they have some appearances and shows lined up in 2009.

Academy Award-winning actor Jamie Foxx appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” last Friday and told a story about wearing a cologne at a club that Sean “P. Diddy” Combs put out. He said Stacy Keibler was at the club and asked the audience, “Does anyone know Stacy Keibler?” No one reacted. Foxx then says, “The Dancing with the Stars girl” and Leno finally reacts, saying, “Oh okay.” Foxx said Keibler was all over him sniffing at his armpits because of the cologne.
