-- Thursday's edition of Impact did a 1.1 cable rating (it was a 1.05 that rounded up). This number is up from last week's 1.0. After Sunday's PPV, which didn't receive favorable reviews, some fans were trying to get the word out on the internet for people to boycott this week's show.
-- On FoxNews.com, there is video feature on this night club in Charlotte, BC called "The Beautiful People Club." The club has caused a bunch of controversy because the people who run the club choose who is allowed to be in the club. On FoxNews.com, they use a modeling photo of TNA backstage interviewer Leticia Cline as the main image linking to the story. Then in the video feature, they show her image along with images of several other "beautiful people." Leticia did a post on her MySpace page saying that she is not a member of this club and that the club used her picture without their permission on their website. Furthermore, she doesn't even support what the club does. Fox News then used images from the club's website for the story, which explains why a picture of Leticia is on Fox News.com. You can check out the video story at this link. Here is Leticia's post on the subject:
There is this club based out of Charlotte NC called "The Beautiful People Club" that is (for obvious reasons) creating controversy because of who is allowed to be in the club. The point of this email is they were just on Fox News today and my image was used as being one of the members. Not only was my photo used during the interview but it is the main image of the story on www.foxnews.com. I am not a member...I'm not even their myspace friend however without my consent I am on there web site.
I do not support this affiliation. One thing I have always pride myself on is the fact that beauty is everywhere in many different packages. I don't think anyone has the right to judge what is beautiful and what isn't. If you look on my web sites, myspace or read my interviews you will know that is a belief I have always stood by. Yes, I am a model and make a living off of my appearance but I use it in a positive way to inspire people to live the lives they want no matter what the limitations may be. I'm very involved in community projects and different charities. And my first obligation is being a mother not just another "beautiful person" (that are never really beautiful people anyway).
I have received some hate mail concerning this subject and it is my intention to contact Fox News to defend my position on it. In the mean time please do not associate me with this affiliation. For more on the story please check the links below.
Thanks for your support!

- TNA's official website has an article looking at the Kurt & Karen Angle pairing. They ask if it's 'The World's Greatest Wrestling Couple'. You can read the story at this link. Karen recently signed a talent contract with TNA and it looks like we're going to be seeing a lot of her over the next few months.
