Christina Lee Hemme (born October 28, 1980) is an American
actress, singer, model, and professional wrestling valet and
wrestler. Hemme is currently signed to Total Nonstop Action
Wrestling, wrestling in its Knockouts division. She is also
known for her appearances with World Wrestling Entertainment and
her pictorial in the April 2005 issue of Playboy. #
In the summer of 2004, Hemme participated in the Diva Search, a
competition held by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in order
to recruit new Divas. In the course of the competition, Hemme
and the five other finalists faced seven existing Divas in a
game of dodgeball at SummerSlam on August 15, eliminating all
eight Divas with the loss of just one finalist, Joy Giovanni.
Hemme was announced as the winner of the competition on
September 20, with a prize of a one year contract with WWE with
remuneration of $250,000. Hemme began her WWE career as a member
of the Raw roster. She quickly began a feud with Carmella
DeCesare, the runner-up of the Diva Search. The feud culminated
in a "lingerie pillow fight" at Taboo Tuesday on October 19,
with Hemme defeating her opponent by pinfall.
