After years of dedication and having only just recently celebrated our 8th Anniversary, it is with a heavy heart and tearful eyes that I announce we are finally closing our doors.

Unfortunately, I am no longer able to finically support MichelleMcCool.Net

We have opened our website 8 years ago when Michelle McCool was just beginning her pro-wrestling career. In the span of those 8 wonderful years, we’ve seen Michelle both grow as a wrestler and evolve as an entertainer, and we were honored to follow her every step (and every Big Boot) of the way.

From Faith Breakers to Motherhood, we genuinely hope that you’ve had as much fun as we have had and that you’ve enjoyed the ride along with us.

Thank you to the staff, Faithful Followers, and Michelle McCool for your continued support throughout the years.

For those wondering, as promised, Michelle McCool’s vlogs will be posted come Summer 2013 via YouTube.

If you are interested in purchasing this website or domain name, please feel free to contact me: michellemccoolnet@gmail.com

Michelle McCool is trying something different with MichelleMcCool.Net. For years, she’s answered questions, written blogs, and has even tweeted back-and-forth on occasion with her Faithful Followers. This time, she’s going to change it up — she’s going to vlog. In her vlogs, Michelle’s at her most candid — like you’ve never seen her before. She’s talking about anything and everything, from her precious baby girl, to even her husband… yeah, him. Raw and real, Michelle doesn’t shy away from controversy; it’s a different side of Michelle McCool… the one you thought you’d never see.

Today marks the 8th Anniversary of MichelleMcCool.Net — and we couldn’t be any more proud. If MM.Net were a child, she’d be in the third grade… let that sink in. Crazy, right?

In 2005, on the 16th of May, MichelleMcCool.Net launched. We were the first fansite dedicated to bringing Michelle McCool’s career to the forefront.

Very little was known about Michelle McCool at the time, other than the fact that she was now a former school teacher turn Diva Search contestant who made her professional debut the past November. Today, when you search “Michelle McCool” on Google, chances are, MichelleMcCool.Net will be the first website you see. We’ve come a long way.

Throughout the years, we’ve strived to be different. We wanted to raise the bar and break the glass ceiling. What could set us apart from other websites? What could we do different to give fans a unique experience? We didn’t just want to post match results and basic media, we wanted to take it a step further… and we did. We’ve injected our personalities into Michelle’s match reviews; we gave our visitors something more to read than just a dry recap of a two minute match. We’ve reviewed Michelle’s WWE.Com photo sessions, literally from head-to-toe. We gave our visitors a chance to get to know the team behind MichelleMcCool.Net, but most importantly, we gave our visitors a chance to get to know Michelle — and that’s what set us apart from the rest.

Throughout 8 years, Michelle has given us unprecedented access to her life: In the ring, behind the scenes, and a glimpse at the life she lead before she even laced up her first wrestling boots. We’ve even interviewed Michelle’s close friends and family, have posted an array of rare never-before-seen photos, and yet, we’ve always strived for more… and we always will. But it’s always boiled down to Michelle; she set us apart from the rest. Throughout the pages of MichelleMcCool.Net, you will find content that you couldn’t find anywhere else.

Today, 8 years after we’ve posted our “Grand Opening” welcome, we continue to strive — to keep Michelle’s Faithful Followers updated, to be different, and to be unique. Michelle has long since retired from the squared-circle and has even started a family of her own, but as long as there is an Internet connection and Michelle’s Faithful Followers are asking for it, there will always be a website you can turn to: Google.

I know, April Fools was over a month go, but we all wish these words will someday be on WWE.com’s homepage. I was desperately putting off studying for finals when this idea came to me. While browsing through YouTube (because nothing says screw college like funny animal videos!) I started watching some of Michelle’s old matches and promos. Let the reminiscing begin! Cue the little thought bubbles and clouds, taking us to a faraway land where Mimi McFabulous rules them all…

Let’s say Michelle did make a return in the near future. With the current crop of Divas, what kind of damage could our First Lady of the WWE do? Looking at the dotcom roster now, I’m thinking there won’t be many survivors. How long until the crop of NXT girls get brought up?! Okay, back on target. We’ll start with our current Divas champion.

Kaitlyn – No. I don’t even think McCruel should waste her time with this one. If your ring gear looks like the airline lost your luggage and you threw something together with other girls’ stuff, you cannot be taken as a legit competitor. Michelle eats divas like Kaitlyn as a late night snack. Hold the buttercream frosting.

The Bellas – Reform LayCool and give these two what for. The real Queens of Mean are named Michelle and Layla, not Nikki and Brie. Not to mention, Damien Sandow was a former Teacher’s Pet, and I think we all know who Cody would choose. Ahem-ahem. Wait, is that storyline even relevant anymore? I think the divas nowadays are changing stories more often than they change bras.

Naomi and Cameron – Another duo for LayCool to mow over in their path of domination. I actually think these two are fairly exciting to watch in the ring, granted we haven’t seen much from them. Naomi was in a season of NXT and we’ve seen just how athletic she can get. Put her across the ring from McCool and let the ideas fly! I’m not sure if “no” is in Michelle’s vocabulary when it comes to trying new things, so surely they could come up with some new, innovative spots. Maybe after they’ve beat them, LayCool can fix their weaves, ’cause ladies…no.

Alicia, Rosa, Aksana – Been there, done that. Rrrrrrrrrrrosa, we hope you’ve kept up with those shake weights!

Mrs. Fandango, Summer Rae – The self proclaimed First Lady of NXT is stepping up as Fandango’s dancing counterpart. If Michelle’s dance from long ago with Nick Carter is any indication, we don’t need to continue. But we will. There can only be one first lady, one dominant female, one ring to the rule them all.. Wait. I don’t even like those movies! Anyway, we all know Stephanie McMahon is the dominant female of WWE. Michelle is the First Lady. (See what I did there? No? Michelle Obama.. first lady? Right. Moving on.) Anyway, Michelle is one of the few who can pull of long blonde extensions. Sorry Maryse, but that horse hair was a mess. Summer is no different. How many palominos had to get hair cuts for that train wreck to happen? Even watching this girl in NXT, she’s like a McCool-Maryse hybrid. Flip your hair all you want, sister, it won’t help you. Once Layla is finished fixing the Funkadactyls, she can bring the scissors over and give Mrs. Fandango a makeover. Snip snip!

AJ – Now this I would love to see. Psycho storyline, McCruel persona, it doesn’t matter. I think these two would have some wonderful matches. There’s a big height difference, but that just means Michelle won’t have to lift her leg as high to kick her in the face. And I’m sure Josie wouldn’t mind if they put Dolph Ziggler on the line.

Now it’s your turn, Faithful Followers! If Michelle were to return, how would you want it done? Who would you want her to go after first? Think it over and describe your picture perfect scenario of Michelle’s triumphant return. And if those thoughts weren’t enough to get you excited, hold on tight because tomorrow MichelleMcCool.Net will be posting a teaser trailer to Michelle’s Vlog! Prepare yourselves!

Be still our beating hearts… together at last, together at last! LayCool reunited during last night’s WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. A future Hall of Famer in her own right, Michelle McCool returned to her stomping grounds of WWE, if only for one night, to partake in the event’s honorary festivities, leading up to tonight’s sports entertainment spectacular, WrestleMania!

A lot has changed since the last time we’ve seen Michelle McCool on WWE television. Most of us know by now, she’s a proud mommy of her precious baby girl, but more obvious, she’s a brunette! Coincidentally, Layla is now a blonde! Gotta love that LayCool, they share everything — even their hair, apparently!

For those interested in Michelle’s fashion, Michelle wore an elegant Jovani Charcoal Lace Long Sleeve Dress with Crystals. The form-fitting dress (which is very flattering on Michelle’s body after baby figure), may set you back a cool $700, but does fashion truly have a price tag? Beauty is pain, Dahling! Though not pictured, we hear Michelle went with a high cork Louboutin — a staple in Michelle’s ever-growing wardrobe. You can take the girl out of WWE, but you can’t take the WWE out of the girl… forever flawless.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, Michelle is spreading the love by unleashing to her Faithful Followers a few unreleased and strictly candid thoughts of her former WWE Diva colleagues! Right off the heels of her successful “12 Days of Divas” special at MichelleMcCool.Net, you’ll get to hear Michelle talk about five more fabulous Divas! From Michelle white-knuckling it in the passenger seat with Jillian Hall, Kharma’s backstage rib, the bar room brawl with Snooki and Trish Stratus that you DIDN’T see on television, to a full-on, backstage confrontation with one of the Bella Twins that led to a locker room pow wow! It’s time to spread the love and spill the tea, Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all! XOXO

Jillian Hall: “I call her ‘Jill Bills,’ always have — she was one of the first people I’ve ever worked a program with. She’s nuts! Crazy in the best possible way, she just trips me out — always makes me laugh!”

Road Rage: “Me, her and Kristal traveled together, but first off: Jillian driving is extremely scary, and she always thought it was hilarious. I swear, I would be praying for my life and the life, the lives that were with us in the car, and for everybody on the road around us when she was behind the wheel. She would literally be cracking up, and I would literally be ready to have a heart attack.”

Paris the Pussy: “One weekend, we were driving and we were on this long loop together touring. And you know what? It wasn’t the second day or the third day of the loop, it was the very first day of the loop where we go to some city with some mall, and Jillian decides to buy a cat. Now, I personally HATE cats. I hate them with a passion, and people know this. Natalya is constantly sending me pictures of her cats because she knows that I hate them. People think it’s funny, because that’s how much I hate cats. I think the only person who hates cats as much as is R-Truth — he doesn’t like them either. Anyway, Kristal is allergic to cats! Jillian buys the cat, thinks it is the funniest and cutest thing on Earth, who she names Paris, and we travel with it for the entire week. I didn’t even want to be near it, while Kristal’s eyes are watering and she’s sneezing her head off… it was just a nightmare, and Jillian loved every second of it.”

Jillian’s gimmicks: “She is a great heel, and I’ll never forget the night the mole was eaten off her face, but that singing gimmick… that was just Jillian being Jillian. Every week she would ask Fit if she could just go out there and sing. She’d say, “Can I just go out there and sing? I just want to sing — I’m a good singer, I like Britney!” So one night, I just remember him telling her during one loop to go out there and just do it — sing! The reaction was just awesome, y’all heard it. And it just became her gimmick.”

To The Future: “I love Jills. She’s fun; she’s funny, great wrestler and great to work with. I just hope that she’s doing good. I wish nothing but the best for her!”

The Bella Twins: “I don’t think we were ever on the same show for the entire time we were all on the road. Obviously, like with everyone else, there were some cross-over shows, cross-brand and house shows where we got to work together, but those were very few and far between. I can’t remember what year they came in, but I think they were only in developmental for a very short period and then got their call up.”

Backstage Conflict: “I can’t remember exactly what happened, but I do remember that, once again, with a bunch of girls in the locker room, stuff gets said. Anyway, one of the twins, and I think it was Nicole, had said something that referenced me, and I honest to goodness do not remember what it was, but I just remember thinking: “Whatever. No big deal.” We barely knew each other so I just blew it off. But whatever it was, it made Lisa (Tara/Victoria) so upset. We were overseas and she just goes: “Look, I’ve got to say something.” I told her to blow it off, that it was no big deal. You know how people get, because I’m the same way. Say whatever you want about me, but once you talk about my friends or my family, then I’m going to be the first to say something to you. Whatever it was that was “said,” Lisa ended up calling a locker room meeting, which, at the time, we had a lot of these… which eventually, they died down. But at the time, respect was still big on the road. Lisa, Sharmell and Vickie, they were the locker room leaders and would call meetings whenever need be… we all would just sit and talk, hash things out. Whether it was cleaning up after ourselves in the locker room or respecting the guys by watching their matches and not leaving early — which I always think is good. It’s good camaraderie and allows things not to get out of hand.”

Locker Room Meeting: “So, we ended up having a locker room meeting, and I think even Johnny came in that day. I just remember Nicole telling me that I didn’t have to send Lisa to rely something that I had to say, and I was like: “Hold on just a minute. First off, I didn’t care whatever was said about me, but my friend, Lisa, was so upset, that she took it upon herself to say something. Things just started off with stupid girl gossip, where I don’t even remember what was said — which tells you how important it must have been, right? Because of that, there was sort of some tension there for no reason. We cleared the air, we hashed it out and it was basically like… well, I don’t know them, they don’t know me. Can I trust them? Do they trust me? But it was just bygones being bygones and everyone got over it. It was stupid, but whatever it was, it just made Lisa extremely hot, and she’s one who gets along with everybody and everybody loves, so… she just wanted to nip it in the bud!”

The Bellas Big Push (& Fall): “I remember at WrestleMania, the one with the melee of Divas, WWE was really pushing for them. They just wanted them to pretty much eliminate everybody in that match. Anybody that gets a spotlight at WrestleMania, heck, anybody that is in WrestleMania period, much less getting the spotlight, should be beside themselves excited — which, I think they were. They got that push… but I don’t remember it going too far after that? I think later that maybe Vince and the office just ended up seeing them more as a novelty, which I didn’t think was fair. I think they could have done a whole lot with the Twin Magic gimmick and then eventually turning on themselves. They could have had a really, really strong storyline. And I hated that for them.”

Pigeonholed: “They were put into the ‘celebrity guest host spot’ where they were always with the celebrities who came on the show and always escorting somebody out because you had these “two hot twins” — I just hated that for them. I knew they wanted to be in the ring a whole lot more than they got to be, they wanted to be more involved, and make a run for the Divas and Women’s Championship… and it wasn’t right up until they left that they got to have that opportunity, so I always thought that stunk for them.”

Friends At Last: “They were always good sports. They would crack me up, actually. Every time we had a celebrity guest host on, they would be like: “Hmmm! Wonder what we’ll be doing tonight?!” We did end up becoming friends, and it took me forever to even distinguish or tell them apart without them standing side-by-side. I’m talking looking them up and down, looking for Brie’s tattoo, some way to cheat to tell them apart because man! They look extremely similar! Once I got to know them and learn their personalities, it was easy as can be. I’m confident now that, at any given time, I can tell them apart single handedly. They’re super sweet, really cool; they have some uncanny similarities, but at the same time, they have some completely opposite traits. Nicole is more outspoken and a lot more bold, whereas Brie is a little bit more laid back.”

---

Kharma: “There was a lot of talk and a lot of hype about her coming up on the road. She was always backstage for several weeks before she debuted, and everything was really hush-hush about what she was going to do. …I don’t even know if they knew what she was going to do? I remember the night that me and Layla had a match with a mystery opponent that totally came out of nowhere. I have never worked with Eve; she was on a totally different show. That day, I think it was the pay-per-view with Nattie that was supposed to be a handicap match, we’re told that Eve is coming in, it’s going to be a fatal four-way, and that she’s going over. This was literally just dropped out of the sky. We didn’t have a program with her, so we had no idea where this came from! We were just like…. okay? Cool. We never care who is or isn’t going over, but it’s just like… where did she come from? We’re just trying to think of ways we can progress our storyline through this, so there was a double pin — me and Layla being pinned at the same time, just so that we can argue about it on television later (which is just another example of thinking ahead — how can we use what we’re given to further ourselves at least one more week). So, Eve’s in the match and she’s going over… but she’s not coming out.”

Backstage Rib: “The crowd starts chanting Awesome Kong! Awesome Kong! Awesome Kong! I know that literally everyone says that they’re kept in the dark, but we didn’t know what was going on. I did know that Kong was backstage that day — obviously, we’ve seen her. I remember being in the ring with Layla and just looking at her. People are chanting so loud and I just go: “…they’ve got us! They’re ribbing us!” I look at Layla and we think she’s coming out, so I’m telling her: “Okay! Just bump and feed, bump and feed for her, bump and feed!” We really thought she was about to come out! Butttttttt… that didn’t happen.”

Putting Kharma Over: “The only time that I got to work with Kharma was when I went out during the Loser Leaves match, where I went out for good. That was fun, even just for that split-second. The reaction she got, the power that she has, I would have loved to have just been able to mix it up with her a little bit more. I’ve always heard what a great worker she is and I’ve seen some of her work, and it is great. Wish I could have gotten to do a lot more with her, but hey! It was an honor to have been put out by one of the best. I wouldn’t have had it any other way.”

This Is How You Do Business: “I’ve told the story before, how after the match, going to the back… what an emotional feeling to have to see everyone back there. Someone came up to me and said: “That’s the way you go out, right there. You go out to do business.” I just thought: there’s no other way to do it. Anything to help and I was glad to. Not saying that Kharma needed help, but just being able to help the streak she was going to go on, which was demolishing all of the Divas. Wish that didn’t have to end, I wanted to see more of her.”

---

Trish Stratus: “People always, always, and still always talk about is Trish Stratus and maybe having a one-on-one match with her. I do think that would be great, I think we would be able to do some crazy-stupid stuff, in the best possible way. We only got to mix it up here and there on the lead up to WrestleMania in the match with Snooki, but she was fun! I idolized her growing up, she’s the epitome of a Diva: strong, sexy, and powerful. She played a great role — no matter what role she was given — and obviously made her mark, so it was an honor just being able to work with her.”

Snooki, We Have a Problem: “I think we could have had a seriously great match. The pre-tape with Snooki, though? That day… gosh, y’all have no idea. That whole bar scene pre-tape, and how that went down? Yeah. We had a really good deal for that night, but it didn’t go down as planned. The little bar room brawl that we did have, and what I got to do with Trish was really fun. I wish there could have been more of that!”

The Truth behind WrestleMania: “The WrestleMania match it was… okay. It wasn’t anything great, and we definitely could have done a lot more. I only say that because literally, as we’re getting ready to walk out of the curtain, Johnny comes up to us and says: “Girls, you’ve got no time. Get in the ring and go home.” We’re just like… what? First off, it’s a mixed-tag, what are we supposed to do? They’re literally telling us to go home (finish the match) as soon as the bell rings. Layla and I are just having a conversation on the way to the ring, just wondering what are we going to do. Am I going to start, is she going to start — what!! Trish gets in there and she’s just like: “Hey, let’s just do it. Let’s just do this and that… just follow me.” I’m like, alright — sweet. We did some stuff together, but you know, nothing that even comes close to what we could have done.”

One More Match: “Who knows. Maybe one day she’d like to shake it up a little bit. That would be a true honor, to work a program with her… and just mix it up!”

As you may know, today is Michelle McCool’s 33rd birthday! Though she may have been gone from the famous squared circle for a couple of years now, Michelle has been plenty busy!

In her exclusive second-annual “Birthday Vlog” for MichelleMcCool.Net, Michelle — who is now a brunette (!!!) — goes on to share the joys of being a brand new mother to a precious, precious little girl! Michelle continues to share that while she believes that a return to WWE is no longer in the cards, a LayCool reunion is in the horizon, as Layla is set to pay Michelle a visit real soon — and even teases a future vlog featuring Layla!

Speaking of old pals, Michelle notes that she recently caught up with Vickie Guerrero when WWE had a show in Texas, and even picked her up at the airport. As far as Michelle’s latest venture, she plans to set up a new foundation with a good friend, particularly one that will keep kids off the streets and involved with sports.

To the delight of many Faithful Followers, Michelle would also like to commit to future vlogs — with the help of her fans! Whether it is a Q&A session or not, Michelle would like your suggestions!

Also, as an added bonus, off the success of Michelle’s “12 Days of Divas,” we are going to release 5 Bonus Divas as part of MichelleMcCool.Net’s Birthday Celebration! Can you guess who? Check back this weekend for the big reveal!

H.B.I.C.: “I think she is one of the most powerful women in wrestling, to this day, is Stephanie McMahon — and I don’t mean what y’all think I mean. On TV, she is just one of the most powerful characters. From playing ‘The Queen Bitch,’ to the ‘Billion Dollar Princess,’ to even coming out not too long ago to give it to Paul Heyman.”

Boss Lady: “She’s awesome in every possible way. From mic work to bumping — I remember her taking the DDT off the top ropes from Randy Orton, oh, my gosh! From her facials to everything… she is just great, and she’s great to work for. She’s a great boss: creative, always wants you to do your best, always there to offer advice — honest advice, which is sometimes rare to find. She shoots from the hip, which I just love. Why beat around the bush? She’s also very hands-on when she’s at the shows. Can’t say enough positive things about Steph.”

The Real Legacy: “Of course, she’s so powerful. And if you’re a true fan of the business, obviously you know the legacy is there. She can be intimidating, not intentionally by any means, but I was intimidated because of the amount of respect I had for her and for her family.”

Pulled Aside: “I do remember during one pre-tape, it was with a few of the girls, and I remember her saying: ‘Michelle, come into the bathroom real quick, I need to tell you something.’ I’m thinking: ‘Oh, no. She doesn’t wanna embarrass me about how horrible I am in front of other people — which is nice, but she’s still about to tell me gosh knows what. So we go in there and she’s like: ‘I think you need to shave your armpits.’ I raise them up, and I’m like: ‘No, I shave my armpits every day!’ So when I raise them up, I’ve got black fuzz from my sweatshirt, but she was calling me in there to tell me. Stuff like that, she’s just funny.”

The Future Unfolds: “She can give good direction and really help your character grow. I don’t know if there are many people that I enjoy watching on TV than her. You can hate her on TV but absolutely love her backstage. I think she’s and such a strong woman… and that’s the type of person that I look up to, the type of person that I admire. I think as long as she’s there behind-the-scenes, the business will continue to do nothing but grow. I love her as a person, and I am very, extremely, fortunate to call her a friend.”

Eddie & Vickie Guerrero: “Vickie and I have been good friends even before she started playing a role on TV. When she used to come on the show with Eddie, she and I became fast friends. Eddie was always around to help me; in the ring, advice — thankfully he took a liking to me. He was soft-spoken, very humble. You’d never know that the Eddie you saw on TV wasn’t the Eddie you saw backstage; quite, humble, so respectful. He was awesome. Just one of the best entertainers — ever!”

On The Road: “When she came back and started playing a role on TV, she didn’t tell anybody. I remember her showing up — oh, my gosh! It was just one of the best days ever! I was going to have Vickie on the show, on the road, help keep me sane, one of my best friends… she’s just so funny.”

Heat Magnet: “She’s one of the most-hated people on TV, and I think that says so much about her character. She can get more heat than, I’d be willing to say, anybody on TV right now. Male or female. The boos are just that defining. When Layla and I would do promos out in the arena, it was just the most-fun ever! People genuinely hate her. I remember the three of us standing next to each other in the ring and we literally couldn’t hear what she was saying because the people were booing her so loudly. I just thought that must be the most-awesome feeling, ever!”

The Cougar: “I think she plays her character great. She is absolutely game for anything. She’s not a wrestler, but when it came to the WrestleMania match, or any match she had to be in, she wanted to be out there and learning how to do it. She took some crazy bumps: the wheelchair bump with Rey, a tombstone by The Undertaker… she’s just been in some crazy situations. Of course, her storyline with Edge was just the best ever. They were hilarious. The two of them together, they way they feed off of each other, they just must have had so much fun.”

Flawless Friends: “I love her dearly. She was one of the people I’d travel with because we both had similar routines. We both liked to get up early, go to the gym, and we liked to be the first people at the arena. We were always, from the day that I was on TV, locker room buddies. We camped out next to each other in the locker room — we’d have our own little corner! It was just nice to have somebody that you can just genuinely talk to. Good, bad, ugly… we’ve shared a lot of moments together. For that, I’m forever grateful. She’s had a few stories that she’s scared me for life from that I can’t reveal, but she knows exactly what I’m talking about. She thinks it’s the funniest thing in the world, but I don’t find it that funny at all!”

Fighting For Divas: “She’s helped me through a lot of things. She was always there for me. Sometimes people get reputations that aren’t necessarily true and she’s a great ear to listen and she’s just a great friend. We were fortunate enough to worth with her some, and for a while there, she worked with LayCool and she was one of the ‘Flawless ones’ — and she’d be right there with us! First one to march down to Vince’s office to knock on his door and pitch ideas. She was an instrumental part; she really wanted to help the Diva’s division. Her being involved with some of us really did help the division grow because of her character and how much respect she had from everybody. She helped fight.”

A Change For WrestleMania: “She always wanted to get involved with the girls. As far as in-ring work goes: she was the first one to want to get out there and learn exactly what to do. She wanted to make it the best possible by staying in character — doing goofy things in the ring, but more importantly, she wanted to take care of the person she was working with. I remember her being extremely nervous to do the Frog-Splash, which Layla and I renamed the Cougar-Splash. Originally, that was going to be Beth Phoenix, but that ended up getting changed for the night of WrestleMania — which really made Vickie nervous. When you start practicing with somebody you just get in a mindset, especially if you’re not in the ring that often. So the night of Hall of Fame, we all get called into the back, and we’ve already had our rehearsal, and they tell us about the change to the finish — she’ll be doing it to Kelly. Vickie was worried; about climbing the turnbuckle, hurting somebody, it not being perfect, but she did awesome!”

Truly Inspiring: “She looks awesome! The transformation she’s had through the years is just inspiring. I can’t say enough about her: she’s a dear friend that I still talk to all the time. Love her and her girls to death — there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for her. She’s a true friend through thick and thin. We will always be friends. Lots of great times on the road: lots of laughter, lots of tears, and lots of special moments shared together that I will cherish forever. I Love her dearly.”

To Infinity…: “I think her career will be as long as she wants her career to be. I don’t think she’s going anywhere. I love when she’s in charge on TV because people hate it so much, and I don’t think there is anyone better.”
