Welcome to the #1 source for Maria Kanellis news, photos, videos & more. Maria is a former WWE Diva who is currently hard at work on some new music. Download her debut album Sevin Sins and music video on iTunes today!
“CELEBRITY APPRENTICE” contestant Maria Kanellis, a former “WWE” star wrestler and a songwriter/recording artist whose debut album “Sevin Sins” was just released on iTunes, was in town to do a hot photo shoot for the Chicago-based magazines Complete Woman and Sophisticate’s Hairstyle Guide and to visit with family in her hometown of Ottawa, Ill.
When asked to comment on a few of her fellow contestants, she said:
“Curtis Stone [top TV chef] is cute but he’s pompous. He has an Australian accent so he seems sexy, but he’s a little arrogant for me. But other women love him.”
“Cyndi Lauper just couldn’t keep it together. She’s just so creative it takes her so long to gather her thoughts — I’d never work with her again.”
“I loveHolly Robinson [actress]. My cousin had autism so I was very interested in what she had to say. She’s a bit bossy, but that’s OK.”
Her interview will run in the July issue of Complete Woman.

Hey Maria fans! I’d keep an eye on Maria-Kanellis.org tomorrow if I were you.
Each week Maria will blog about what it was like being on Celebrity Apprentice. Here is her 6th blog about Sunday night’s episode:
What’s up all you stars and studs and Celebrity Apprentice watchers!
This has been a crazy awesome week for me. I did signings and radio all week for my EP Sevin Sins. The EP came out on Tuesday and then I got this episode in the mail. I was so happy about the album and then I watched this episode. If Cyndi was a candy she would be Sweet Tarts. She is sweeeeet from the outside and then once you get into her candy it turns tart on you. I will say it again, I love her but I don’t ever, ever, ever want to work with her again. It wasn’t that I didn’t love her ideas or her creativity; it was that she didn’t respect mine. They say don’t meet people you admire because they will disappoint you but this is more than that. Furthermore, I think it shouldn’t have to be that way. With that said, Cyndi was not respecting anyone or anyone’s past. It is evident throughout this episode and it makes me sad. I am not perfect. I have my flaws but I try to respect people whether I love them or hate them. I respect them.

Last night the task was to make over an upcoming country music singer. The men had to make over Luke Bryan and the women got to work with Emily West. In this episode Maria unfortunately got to see the true side of her childhood idol, Cyndi Lauper. Cyndi wasn’t the best project manager and didn’t allow Maria to bring her creative ideas to the challenge. Though in the end, team Tenacity won and Cyndi got $20,000 for her charity. Be sure to download Luke and Emily’s songs on iTunes. All of their sales this month go to Cyndi’s charity. Now you can watch the episode again and view a few web exclusive bonus scenes. Head on over to iTunes and download Luke and Emily’s singles as well!
Last week SportsRev.TV‘s Reby Sky caught up with Maria to talk about Sevin Sins, her time with the WWE and her future plans. Check out the interview below.
