Happy Birthday Maria! 2011 is sure to be an exciting year for you and your fans. We can’t wait to see what you do next. I’m not the only one who would like to wish you a Happy Birthday.  For the past 2 weeks I’ve asked readers of Maria-Kanellis.org to send in their birthday wishes.  I received emails from your biggest fans from all over the world. Read what they had to say and check out a great video that Jay made. You might remember the Happy Birthday music video she made you last year too!

Ok, simply saying “Happy Birthday” wouldn’t be enough to say, compared to last years amazing “Happy Birthday” wishes, that everyone posted on maria-kanellis.org. Its hard to find any right words or phrases to express how much I really mean it and I’m not sure whether I can find any fitting words this year also. I know its been about exactly one year ago that you had to leave the WWE and we all know that it had good and bas sides. I’m a really emotional person and fan and I know its immature to simply say: “I miss you !”.

And I do, I miss you as hell and I know that there are thousands of fans that do too. I can not really believe that its about to turn one year ago, because the time has passed by so fast! You’ve been a role model to so many young people and that is one of the things not many people can reach. I mean, I looked up to you for so long and without you the WWE is not the same anymore. Going to WWE shows feel curious, because there is no replacement. On the one hand, I know that you respect the Divas and Wrestlers who are still in the company and that you feel so much more happy by now (which I always supported and personally always will support !!!) but on the other hand I think that you can not bring back the past, as noone else can and I think that I’ve never seen you happier in your life before.

Former Diva or not, you will always be my hero and the one I look up to, no matter what! I learned so many things from you and I’m so thankful for it, its really hard to tell:

I learned that there is no dream that is too big as long as you have the heart, the motivation, the will and the effort to make things come true. Passion is one of the most important things and I avoid everything that hinders my passion.

And I know that if there is one door that closes, another will open, so just keep on walking, till you find the window!!!

“There is a bright new future when one door closes another opens! “, that was a quote from the first comment you gave on leaving, but I already knew back then, that you were right. I always knew that you know what you want and how you can make yourself happy. I will always support you and everything you want to accomplish. Its been a hell of a year, with ups and downs and I hope that this year will be even more awesome to everyone. Especially to you, because you deserve it the most. You have such a great fan community all around the world, that I’m really proud to be a part of, even if I maybe don’t share everyone’s opinion but I hope you got the message.
Long speech and simply meaning: “ HAPPY BIRTHDAY” !

Much much much much love from Germany, Jay. :]

Maria, my lovely!
I wish you all the best for your birthday and enjoy it!
I also hope the best for your health and your future! It would be exciting to hear more from you in 2011, perhaps in music, wrestling or in the region as a model.
But no matter what is new in 2011, I will always support you and maybe you’ll make it true to come to Germany .. I swear, many people would look forward to your visit here!
Have an awesome day with your familiy and friends! I’ll think of you!

Dear Maria, Happy Birthday! I met you at PHL a few yrs back around 6am at the TSA security check-in. I didn’t know then how famous you were (and still are). You were amused by the hassle I got from the agent about securing my wallet. You were wearing a leopard spotted hat. I told u about my nephew and his friends, “Misfits” Gerry Only and Glen Danzig. I gave u my animal shelter biz card.  I hope your career skyrockets. You’re a rare celebrity because you’re sincere, civil, and under no outside influence except the spirit to succeed. Take care Maria, and have fun! Al K & My Cats, Ocean City, NJ

I look up to you so much and adore your style. I dream of one day collaborating with you for a clothing line and hopefully at least meeting you. I listen to your music non-stop and can’t get enough of it. It helps me push myself when i’m at the gym or when i’m just not having a great day. You inspire me in so many ways, I absolutely love you <3

I’m happy to announce a new feature here on Maria-Kanellis.org.  I’ve added a video hub that collects all the videos from our YouTube account and displays them in an easy to navigate video gallery.  You can access the new video hub by going to the “Media” drop down at the top of the site, and selecting “Video Hub”.  Or just point your browser to http://maria-kanellis.org/video.  Let me know what you think!

ORDER THE DVD NOW AT HIGHSPOTS.COM

From the dingy interview girl on WWEs RAW to NBCs Celebrity Apprentice, Maria Kanellis sits on the couch with you to fill you in on what shes really like

You’ll be surprised to find out how unlike her WWE character she really is and why she did so well on Celebrity Apprentice. Singer, songwriter, designer, Maria is so talented the WWE couldn’t hold her back anymore. Now shes blazing her own path in Hollywood and giving you the real stories, the real dirt, and everything in between from her Diva Diaries!

My DVD is in the mail and should be arriving here soon.  Along with the DVD, you can also get an autographed photo for just $9.99 more.  In my opinion the coolest part about this interview is when Maria gave me and Maria-Kanellis.org a shout out!  Check it out in the clip below.

Update: The big news is here!  Listen to my exclusive interview with Maria.  We talk about everything and (literally) get her 1st reaction to Mickie’s release! CLICK HERE to check it out.

Hey Maria fans! I’d keep an eye on Maria-Kanellis.org tomorrow if I were you.

I’ve also added “Official Links” to the top too.  Hover your mouse over to get a list of all Maria’s officials places on the web.  Her Twitter account, official website, Zazzle store, and of course a link to Sevin Sins on iTunes.  Maria is keeping busy and the new Maria-Kanellis.org is built ready to expand with any new projects she has coming our way.

Something I really love about Maria-Kanellis.org is the community.  I love when you guys leave comments on posts, and hopefully now more people will too.  A new feature with the redesign is the ability to have an picture by your name when you comment.  Just sign up for a free Gravatar.com profile and use that email address when you post a comment.

So what do you think?  Do you like the new look? Hate it?  Be sure to vote below and leave any feedback (good or bad) in the comments.  Thanks for visiting Maria-Kanellis.org!

Tonight I had the pleasure of meeting Maria for the 1st time.  It was an amazing experience!  Maria was very sweet, and even took time to talk to me for a few minutes right before I was leaving.  We talked about Maria-Kanellis.org, the big redesign that’s coming this weekend, and Sevin Sins.  I added photos to the gallery. I look terrible, I was very nervous when I first got there.  Big thanks to Alicia for taking that great photo above of me and Maria shaking hands!  I had a great time tonight, thanks Maria!

Update: 8 more HQ photos have been added to the gallery.  Thanks again to Alicia for taking such great pics!
