Amy Christine Dumas has been one of the most popular and controversial wrestlers in the WWE, who played the character of Lita. She was among those female wrestlers who were the epitome of success in the women’s wrestling department.

Lita was successful in every storyline that she was involved in, but her reputation suffered greatly because of these storylines. However, it was all controversial because it wasn’t just the storylines; most of these relationships were actual turbulence in her life. Unfortunately, any of her relationships with WWE wrestlers did not last.

Amy Christine Dumas and Matthew Moore Hardy were in a relationship from 1999 to 2005. What started on a pleasant note initially later turned into betrayal as Dumas cheated on Hardy while he was injured and away from WWE.

During this time,...

These days the women of WWE are tearing the house down in the ring and headlining big events including WrestleMania. Not to fill a quota but because they’ve earned the opportunity. However, before Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, Bayley, and Becky Lynch, there were those who helped pave the way like Trish Stratus and Lita (Amy Dumas). Two women who fought and clawed for every bit of time in the ring. Their heated rivalry captivated fans, forcing decision-makers to take notice. So much in fact that on December 6, 2004, Stratus and Lita were the main event of Raw. A trailblazing battle between these future Hall of Famers continues to be celebrated now 20 years later. Stratus and Lita are set to mark the milestone with a joint appearance at GalaxyCon. In an early Trishmas present, we sat down with Stratus to reminisce about this history-making moment and some of her favorite past TV appearances.

For season 2 of wrestling collectibles show WWE’s Most Wanted Treasures, Triple H sought the help of Booker T to help reclaim items from the sports entertainment juggernaut’s rich history. The decorated legend was honored to take on the assignment as “Head of Special Acquisitions” for the A&e series, which returns April 30. Booker also enlisted the assistance of fellow Hall of Famers Lita (Amy Dumas) and Mick Foley, who hit the road to not only track down these priceless pieces of memorabilia but make a deal to secure them. And for diehard fans with deep connections to their collectibles, that can be easier said than done. Here, Booker chats about the series, broadcasting for Nxt, and the Endeavor era ahead of the WWE draft. How was it being called up by Triple H for this mission?

Even though her days as a champion within WWE are far behind her, Hall of Famer Trish Stratus continues to show that she’s in incredible shape.

The Canadian professional wrestling legend gave fans a look at her rock-hard abs in an Instagram clip she shared on Monday, which only focused on her midsection.

In the quick video, Trish raises her shirt just a bit to reveal her solid abdominal muscles while rocking casual dark pants and a black t-shirt.

“Peek-ab-boo,” she cleverly wrote in her Instagram post’s caption, referring to the abs reveal.

Trish, real name Patricia Anne Stratigeas, is 46 years old but shows her age is just a number. The fitness proponent has clearly kept herself healthy over the years.

Still reeling from her romantic, revealing date with front-runner Brendan on “The Bachelorette,” Tayshia Adams opened this week’s episode acknowledging the bar has been set high for all the guys. She views Brendan as “husband material” but was eager to see how the next group date would play out nonetheless.

The group date consisted of Montel, Ivan, Demar, Ben, Chasen, Ed, Joe and Bennett. Dubbed “The Grown Man Challenge,” a search for a Grown-Ass Man, the fun and games were spearheaded by married “Bachelor in Paradise” alums Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon. Tayshia, who wants to find a man and not a boy, was excited to put the guys to the test. Harvard grad Bennett felt comfortable with his super smart status but awkwardly failed both the math and spelling portions. Tug-of-war followed with Ivan and Ben succeeding and Bennett opting out due to a football knee injury. Lastly,...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the Nov. 17 episode of “The Bachelorette.”

New Bachelorette Tayshia Adams had help searching for love this week, as several special guests joined ABC’s isolation bubble to host dates.

First, Bachelor franchise couple Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon hosted the “Grown Man Challenge” group date, during which seven men attempted to prove their manhood by solving basic equations, demonstrating physical ability and preparing breakfast in bed. The attention quickly shifted to Bennett Jordan, the Harvard graduate who struggled with basic math and spelling challenges.

Bennett faced obstacles in the early round and was forced to forfeit the physical challenge due to an old football injury, but was ultimately crowned the champion after excelling in the breakfast in bed challenge.

October is almost here, and you know what that means -- new movies and TV shows on Netflix! From the highly-anticipated new season of 'Stranger Things' to fan faves like 'Miss Congeniality,' here's the full list of everything coming to Netflix in October!

While October usually signals the arrival of all sorts of spooky, creepy, scary, and otherwise appropriately Halloween-themed films to both theaters and streaming services, this month’s batch of new titles on Netflix offers up a delightfully wide variety of choices that aren’t all tied to the year’s primary celebration of fear. Sure, those titles are there — from more mainstream chillers like “Cult of Chucky” and the new original “The Babysitter,” to more offbeat picks like the cannibal coming-of-age tale “Raw” and the seminal “Donnie Darko” — but this month’s incoming list has more than enough for movie fans who don’t want to shriek at their televisions.

The highly anticipated second season of Stranger Things will premiere on Netflix in October.

Haters Back Off is another Netflix original that will return with new episodes during the upcoming month, while David Fincher's new series Mindhunter will debut on the service.

Films like Miss Congeniality, The Hateful Eight, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Must Love Dogs, Donnie Darko and I Love You, Man will all be available to stream, as well. Additionally, Noah Baumbach's The Meyerowitz Stories is streaming next month.

"I sometimes think, Do people find this interesting?" Todrick Hall shrugs. "Because this is my life every day and, you know, people could do this if they wanted to."

We are standing just backstage at the historic Theatre at Ace Hotel immediately following the Outfest screening of Behind the Curtain: Todrick Hall, a documentary that followed Todrick as he wrote and recorded a full-length visual album, Straight Outta Oz, then turned that album into a stage show and toured nationwide to perform it. From our vantage point behind the velvet curtain, we can watch the attendees -- hundreds of fans, friends and other industry folk -- filing out under the glimmering mirrored ceiling into the Broadway Theater District of Downtown L.A. I've asked Todrick if this all feels as glamorous to him as it seems.

Open Road Films have released a brand new trailer for their upcoming comedy-drama Home Again, which you can view in the player below.

Home Again follows the story of a woman (Oscar Winner Reese Witherspoon) who turns forty and was recently separated from her husband. She somehow ends up with three aspiring (and hunky) directors living under her roof and hilarity, and love, ensues. The film will certainly have a familiar look to many as it has all the hallmarks of a Nancy Meyers film, the acclaimed writer/director behind such films as It’s Complicated (which starred Meryl Streep and Steve Martin), Something’s Gotta Give (with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton), The Holiday (which starred Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet) and The Intern, her most recent film which starred Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro.

If you were one of the many that tuned into the Miss USA 2017 pageant, you probably wondered, "What does it take to win Miss USA?" We'll tell you (or, you can watch the cult classic Miss Congeniality). It takes self-confidence, a great hairstylist and makeup artist, eloquence, grace, intelligence and the right beauty products. Kara McCullough had all of the above, which is why she took the title. "What attracted me to Miss USA was a secret desire to compete," she told E! News. "I don't really have a performing talent, but I fell in love everything that it had to offer." This includes access to the best in beauty. "I have very small eyes, and when I initially started doing...

Who needs a crown when you’re Yekaterina Petrovna Zamolodchikova? Sure, the cash prize and title of America’s Next Drag Superstar would have been great for Katya (real name: Brian McCook), but the drag queen ran away with the competition on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars season two. On Twitter, she was dubbed Time’s “Person of the Year.” She has since appeared on her own web series, I’m Not a Doctor and UNHhhh with fellow contestant Trixie Mattel. And Bjork even took notice!

Inspired by the likes of comedians Tracy Ullman and Maria Bamford, gymnast Elena Zamolodchikova, a past college professor and McCook’s own real-life anxiety, Katya is a persona unlike any other seen on eight seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Her blend of charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent easily earned her the title of “Miss Congeniality” and made her a favorite of longtime fans.

The professional wrestling world is in mourning today, after news broke last night that Joanie Laurer, best known as WWE Superstar Chyna, passed away at the age of 45. We showed you a number of social media posts that came in last night, from pro wrestlers past and present, paying tribute to this squared circle icon. As the news continued to spread, even more wrestlers paid their respects through social media, as you can see in the several tweets we've gathered below.

The former wrestler's manager told E! News last night that "she was found peacefully," and police couldn't find any signs of foul play. Authorities were called to Chyna's apartment in Redondo Beach, California on Wednesday afternoon, after a friend discovered she was not breathing. She was pronounced dead on the scene, and the cause of death is currently unknown.

Ever since debuting in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF...

Sad news has rocked the world of the WWE. The organization has lost one of its most colorful characters in Chyna. Her real name was Joanie Laurer, and it is being reported by CNN that the woman passed away at the age of 45. She was found dead in her Los Angeles home. No cause of death has been given by authorities.

Chyna is known worldwide by legions of professional wrestling fans. Redondo Beach police confirm that the former WWE Diva was found dead in her apartment. The authorities were notified after a friend went to check in on her, and got no response. The cause of death is currently under investigation. At this time, there are no signs of foul play. This was the passage left on her official Facebook page this morning.

"It is with deep sadness to inform you today that we lost a true icon, a real life superhero.

WWE legend Chyna, real name Joanie Laurer, quite literally packed a punch – and her peers will never forget it.

The iconic WWE wrestler, who died at age 45 on Wednesday, was an original member of D-Generation X, partnering with other wrestling stars like Triple H and Sean Michaels. After her time in the ring, Laurer posed for Playboy and appeared on reality series The Surreal Life, which documented her struggle with alcohol.

Fellow female praised her as a "revolutionary" trailblazer who "shattered glass ceilings, kicked down doors and broke gender barriers."

Other costars paid tribute to her humanity. "I will always...

Flagship Entertainment, a joint venture between Warner Bros, China Media Capital (Cmc) and Tvb, has unveiled its debut slate, including projects from Hong Kong filmmakers Peter Chan, Wong Jing and Stephen Fung.

Launched last year, the Hong Kong-based joint venture aims to produce a slate of Chinese-language films, including global tentpoles, for Chinese and international distribution. The first titles will be released in 2016.

Peter Chan is set to direct drama Murder Of The Husband – about a woman whose suffering gave rise to the revolution of women’s social rights in China – and will also partner with Brett Ratner to produce romance Beautiful Coma, chronicling a love that transcends every challenge.

Wong Jing will direct action comedy In Love With The Thieves, starring Andy Lau, Huang Xiaoming and Shen Teng, while Stephen Fung is attached to action romance The Adventurers, starring Feng Shaofeng in a story about an overseas treasure hunt.

Matt Hardy is a survivor. One of the last remaining campaigners of the old Attitude era in the WWF, Matt and his brother Jeff set the standard for high risk, spectacular matches in the early part of the last decade. Their TLC matches with the likes of the Dudley Boys and Edge & Christian were the foundation of the Money in the Bank multiple participant style matches that we see in the WWE and elsewhere to this very day.

Hardy himself has certainly lived a life full of ups and downs. Released by the WWE in 2005, he returned a few months later after his real-life girlfriend Amy Dumas (Lita) was discovered to have cheated on him with his friend Adam Copeland (Edge). As Hardy’s real life played out into an uneasy storyline, the three participants eventually went their separate ways.

In 2010, WWE sent him home from a European tour,...

When two women at the top of their fields unite for a movie that plays to their obvious comedy strengths, led by a female director with a proven track record in the female comedy genre, you have to wonder through an excruciating 87 minutes of film, if they knew they were making one of the most unfunny, dull, offensive, cringe-inducing movies to come out of Hollywood in a very long time. Bringing one of TV’s most flamboyant stars and one of Hollywood’s top actresses together must have looked good on paper but Sophia Vergara and Reese Witherspoon flounder in a script that denies them the chance to use their strengths. It’s hard to know who comes off worse. The Oscar-winning Witherspoon plays the uptight, by-the-book Officer Cooper as a Southern cocktail of one part Calamity Jane to two parts Miss Congeniality’s Gracie Lou Freebush. So far so kooky,...

Wrestlers have been invading the movies for years. After all, who better to dole out some scripted, Ott grappling than the men who make it their living?

The wrestling industry has everything that Hollywood loves: stars with name recognition, fight scenes, rippling muscles, beautiful women and drama so heightened that it’s in danger of leaving orbit.

While the movies they appear in are often stupid stupid dumb stupid, megastars like Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, John Cena and Dave Bautista have all achieved a certain level of Hollywood success, in movies like No Holds Barred, The Expendables, The Marine, and Guardians of the Galaxy respectively. Oh, and you may have heard of an actor on the independent movie circuit called Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

When a wrestler is cast in a movie, fans hope to see certain things: one-liners, big people hitting other big people, things falling over, and,...

Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara team up in this month’s Hot Pursuit, a buddy cop-meets-odd couple shindig in the vein of The Heat or Miss Congeniality.

Taking a break from the darker work that she’s been doing lately (notably Wild and Gone Girl), Witherspoon goes back to her comedic roots as Cooper, a straight-laced cop tasked with transporting a drug lord’s widow to Texas.

Sofia Vergara plays that widow, Daniella, who is also the lone survivor of a mass assassination of drug kingpins. With criminals and crooked cops alike out to get them, Cooper and Daniella flee for their lives, butting heads along the way.

We’re incredibly excited to see the Legally Blonde and "Modern Family" stars clumsily figure out a way to work together on what is sure to be a hilarious road trip (or involuntary witness protection programme).

After last week’s mediocre showing in “Snatch Game,” this week’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race is one for the ages. Not only are the contestants faced with the sudden return of the previously eliminated queens, but they’re forced to work with them to stave off their own elimination. The shady stakes could not be higher, and everyone is the better for it, as evidenced by this week’s five memorable moments.We’ll Never Be (Latrice) RoyaleThis week’s mini-challenge involved the girls trying to bring glam to the slammer and prove that orange is the new drag.

Updated (02/06): Chris Pratt made good on his #TwitterBowl bet. Pratt, dressed in full Star-Lord gear, visited victor Chris Evans' choice children's charity, Christopher's Haven in Boston. The Marvel actor posted the evidence on his Facebook page, admitting defeat:

It was the Super Bowl bet to end all Super Bowl bets: Captain America vs. Star-Lord.

During last night's football game, The Avengers’ Chris Evans stuck true to character, supporting the New England Patriots, while his Marvel colleague, Guardians of the Galaxy’s Chris Pratt, had all bets on the Seattle Seahawks. Their stakes were adorable: showing up at their opponent’s local children’s hostipal in full superhero garb.

The pair used their Twitter accounts to leverage the popularity of the now infamous “#TwitterBowl,” calling upon their fans to help support their respective charity (and football team).

I kid, I kid, but I’m also kind of serious. When someone mentions Tyler Perry, it’s only fair to think of him dressing up in old lady drag, bible thumping, and moralizing about how women shouldn’t open their legs for any good looking dude like they are a 24-hour Golden Corral. (Seriously, did you see Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor? Way to send a message to women that if they are not faithful, they’re going to get AIDS and everyone will hate them. Ugh!)

But here’s the thing: Ty Ty isn’t the owner of these kinds of movie tropes, so it’s about time we stop acting like it and recognize other movies that rely on these storytelling motifs. For example:

Lita was inducted into WWE’s Hall of Fame in 2014 due to the tremendous success she accomplished in her career. She started in WWE in early 2000, won the Women’s Championship four times and retired in 2006.

She had a lot of success in WWE both as one of the most popular women in company history and one of the baddest girls that there was. She also showed that not only was she fearless in the ring as she did high flying moves like a hurricanrana and moonsault regularly, but she also wasn’t afraid to show off her body. If there’s one thing we could say about Lita is that she even though she was mysterious in some ways she was never that show.

When she left WWE in 2006 it surprised people because she was only 31 years old at the time and had a lot of wrestling left in her.

Bianco Del Rio Wins RuPaul's Drag Race

Del Rio beat out both Courtney Act and Adore Delano for the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar and the $100,000 winnings. Though it was close between the final three, Del Rio had emerged as the one to beat – never having found herself in the bottom two and winning three separate challenges throughout the season.

“I feel like I am the luckiest entertainer in the world right now… it's an incredibly rewarding experience to have this honor and I'm proof that anything is possible,” Del Rio said in a statement following her win. “I extend my love and gratitude to the talented World of Wonder family, Logo TV, the amazing fans, and especially RuPaul.

Women have always been a constant in wrestling. They might not always be inside the ring but a wrestling promotion’s roster is usually full of the fairer sex in some form. Recently, WWE has pushed their women’s division through their reality show Total Divas and moves their “reality storylines” into the ring. The newest crop of Divas might be reality television stars but there have been many before them who have rose to stardom within the industry.

Women and wrestling have gone together for decades and there have been many names that have stuck with fans throughout the year. Some got by on their in-ring ability while others became popular with fans because of their drop dead good looks and their ability to charm a crowd. No matter how these women achieved fame, the bottom line is that they have become part of wrestling lore so...

She was not your typical Diva.

Lita was gorgeous and athletic, for sure, but she was also a tattooed bad girl whose punk-rock aesthetic perfectly captured the Attitude Era’s edgy allure.

Success did not come overnight for Amy Dumas. Before she became Lita, she travelled solo to Mexico City to learn the craft of wrestling from luchadors.

When fame (and infamy) came in WWE — thanks partly to risque storylines culled from messy real-life romances, and partly due to some outstanding matches — she was a show-stealer whose eventual Hall of Fame induction seemed assured.

With that induction now just around the corner, WhatCulture caught up with Lita for an exclusive chat about wrestling, her post-wwe life and, of all things, vegan cheese.

WhatCulture: Do you have a favorite match against Trish Stratus, looking back on your long rivalry?

Lita: A lot...

On Monday, February 10th, World Wrestling Entertainment announced the third inductee into the 2014 Hall of Fame Class. To the delight of the WWE Universe and women’s wrestling enthusiasts everywhere, it was revealed that Amy Dumas (aka Lita) would be taking her rightful place in the Hall of Fame alongside other legendary performers The Ultimate Warrior and Jake “the Snake” Roberts.

Unfortunately, there have been detractors in regards to Lita’s career, even post-retirement. Some feel she was overrated and not nearly as fine-tuned in the ring compared to the likes of Molly Holly or Victoria.

Then there are people who feel it is too early for her to be inducted and that other Divas (such as Miss Elizabeth, Luna Vachon, Sable, and Chyna) deserve induction first. While I don’t disagree with this opinion, WWE has opted not to induct those ladies yet. It still doesn’t change the...

The latest WWE Hall of Fame 2014 inductee is Lita, it was confirmed on Raw last night.

The 38 year old who goes by the real name of Amy Dumas is the third inductee this year behind Ultimate Warrior and Jake Roberts. She will be the seventh Diva to ever be inducted, surely by her close friend and rival Trish Stratus.

The four time WWE Women’s Champion helped to transform the perception of female wrestling in her 1999 to 2006 career, showcasing a daredevil ring style and equally devilish Punk look. It was all a great contrast from the stereotypical 90′s WWE diva style of sexuality and gimmick matches — Lita alongside Trish Stratus made women’s wrestling all about Wrestling. Under the guidance of WWE trainer Fit Finlay, Lita and Trish pioneered a new athletic style for females in the WWE, eventually ending up in a stunning 2004 Raw main event championship win for Lita.
