Former WWE wrestler Sara Lee, who won the sixth season of the reality competition series Tough Enough, died by suicide, according to a just released coroner’s report. As first reported by TMZ, documents from Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office revealed that Lee died after ingesting a lethal combination of alcohol and pills. The report adds that the ex-wrestler had left “letters of intent at the scene” and was found with bruises and abrasions on her head and body. Officials suspected that Lee may have suffered the bruises from a fall or falls while in an intoxicated state. At just 30 years old, Lee’s death shocked the wrestling world last October when news of her passing became public. “As a former ‘Tough Enough’ winner, Lee served as an inspiration to many in the sports-entertainment world,” the WWE said at the time. “WWE offers its heartfelt condolences to her family,...

Pam Grier has lived an incredible life. Her autobiography, "Foxy: A Life in Three Acts" is hopefully going to be turned into a biopic that can finally celebrate her trailblazing career. An entire generation of fans know her as the titular character in "Jackie Brown," Tarantino's follow-up to "Pulp Fiction," based on the crime novel "Rum Punch" by Elmore Leonard. Decades before that, Grier became widely known as the first female action star playing street-savvy, no-nonsense characters in "Coffy" (She'll cream you!), "Foxy Brown", and the more comedic mystery "Friday Foster."
An undeniable acting force and sought-after sex symbol, it was only a matter of time before more challenging, high-profile roles started to come Grier's way. After essentially owning the 1970s, Grier started off the '80s taking on more character-driven parts, like in the boxing drama "Tough Enough" starring Dennis Quaid, and the classic police procedural "Fort Apache the Bronx" starring Paul Newman.

Daria Berenato, better known as Sonya Deville — WWE superstar — made headlines in 2015 when she became the first openly gay female wrestler in WWE history. Now, after performing in front of arenas filled with fans and in front of millions more watching at home, Berenato wants to take her advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community to the next level.
“I really just want to be a voice for the community in sports — specifically, in the WWE,” says Berenato, who is 27. “I want to let people know that their sexuality doesn’t define them and how they identify doesn’t define them. And I’m a perfect example of it.”
Berenato has been a fighter all her life. The middle child of three sisters, she says that growing up roughhousing with them naturally led to an early interest in mixed martial arts. “I just wanted to do something that was going...

As a product of Nxt reality show “Tough Enough” and a WWE main roster performer since 2017, Sonya Deville is hip to the pro-wrestling business. The former mixed martial artist knows that the bigger she and real-life best friend Mandy Rose get as tag team Fire & Desire, the closer they creep to (storyline) breaking up and feuding with one another.
Deville, whose real name is Daria Berenato, just doesn’t want that to happen “anytime soon,” she told TheWrap on Tuesday.
“In terms of breaking up right now, I don’t see it happening anytime soon — and I don’t want it to happen anytime soon, because it’s not time for that,” Berenato said. “I think we’re just getting some real momentum as a tag team and we still compete as singles competitors.”

Even if Art is crazy enough to try, will he be tough enough to win it all ?..."

Dennis Quaid began his film career in the larger shadow of his older brother. Sibling Randy Quaid made his mark as Cybill Shepherd's naked swimming partner in 'The Last Picture Show' and then received an Academy Award nomination as the hapless sailor heading for prison in 'The Last Detail,' leading to a string of muscular supporting roles. Dennis Quaid started out with a handful of forgettable roles (the smarmy 'Seniors,' anyone?) and then greatly impressed in a supporting role in Peter Yates' 'Breaking Away' in 1979.
Randy and Dennis Quaid appeared together in Walter Hill's 'The Long Riders,' but Dennis soon graduated to lead roles. He's a ball of infectious charm in 'The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia,' which was intended to showcase Kristy McNichol. As her no good brother, Quaid...
