I can't believe nobody has mentioned any Pro Wrestlers yet.  Victora (Lisa Marie Varon), Trish Stratus, Torrie Wilson, Gail Kim, ODB (Jessica Kresa), Mickie James…

Probably because they aren't "celebrities", they are atheletes. When one does move over to the celebrity side of the sheet, they usually ditch all their muscles for a more conventional look.

Like Dwayne Johnson(The Rock) did when he went Hollywood. But, on a list of muscular female wrestlers, how do you miss Beth Phoenix?!

Every person I listed is on a regular, weekly TV show that is in houses in dozens of countries around the world.  And most of them have been in other projects – various movies, TV shows, magazines, etc.

If that doesn't qualify as 'celebrity,' than I don't know what does.

And I have no idea how I forgot Beth.  *ashamed*

Torrie Wilson's been on that "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here" show in the jungle on NBC for the past couple weeks.  And while she's definitely both the most athletic and busty girl there, she's not exactly bulging with muscle.  About the most you see of it is in the little intro of the show, where she does a decent biceps flex; but that's pretty much it.  Plus, the show's kind of a trainwreck, focused on manufactured drama and endlessly "recapping" the action that happened 5 minutes previously…so I'm kind of ashamed to even admit that I've been watching it  :- but in my defense, there's practically NOTHING on TV these days.

On the bright side, Torrie's been one of the few stable (and apparently genuinely nice) people and has been voted to remain in the competiton into the last week.  If you're interested, MTV is showing reruns of the past week's shows every weekend.  While Torrie's usually wearing a damp t-shirt over a bikini for most of the show (nothing too eye-candy about it), I should mention that they did have the "celebrities" dress up in goofy wrestling-superhero costumes for a challenge in the last episode, and she did look very good.  If you absolutely must inflict this show on yourself, all the episodes from this past week will be repeated on MTV today (Sunday, 6/21) starting at 12PM Eastern time, according to the TV listings site I use, and you can see Torrie exerting herself in some of the challenges.  The episode with the wrestling-superhero challenge should start at about 4-4:15PM, if you just wanna skip to watching that (which would be my recommendation).

Well, there's my latest contribution to the wonderful world of muscular celebs.  Useless-Info-Man, away!

Celebrity is being famous or having some notoriety. If you step away from the relatively small circle of FBB or wrestling fans, those women are just about unknown.

Just because someone has been on a self-titled manufactured "reality" show, doesn't make them a celebrity. Lou Diamond Phillips and John Salley are celebrities because you could probably walk up to a person on the street, say their name and that person would probably say "I've heard of them". You say Torrie Wilson and I think its a safe bet that 99% would say "Who?".

And if you are talking the wrestling shows, that hardly penetrates beyond 18 to 24 year olds and teenagers. Hulk Hogan is a celebrity but he expanded his cachet beyond wrestling into entertainment and the mass media.

Even Dwayne Johnson has all but ditched his "The Rock" persona and embraced a real career.

Celebrity is being famous or having some notoriety.

And they do.  Thanks for proving my point – they are celebrities.

Have a nice day!

I just thought of someone else that I don't think has been mentioned yet – Victoria Pratt.  She was in Once A Thief, Cleopatra 2525, and Mutant X.

Speaking of Lisa Marie, here's an interview on why she joined TNA.

Another red-head uberbabe, Patricia Tallman – probably best known as the character Lyta Alexander in Babylon 5.
