Torrie Wilson graces September FHM cover
By Jen Hunt
July 19, 2006 
RAW Diva Torrie Wilson is no stranger to magazine covers, but the September issue of FHM will be her first time on the steamy men’s magazine. The issue hits newsstands Aug. 8 and will also include an eight-page spread with the gorgeous Diva. 
The concept for the shoot reflected Torrie’s role as a glamorous WWE Diva and incorporated some wrestling iconography. It also featured something else Wilson is no stranger to: sexy lingerie. 
“It had a real athletic feel to it and was very risqué,” said Torrie. 
Plus the shoot had a lot of real “bling,” courtesy of jeweler to the stars, Charlie Lapson. 
“I got to be a princess for a day,” said Torrie about the FHM shoot. “I love doing photo shoots because I love playing dress up. I felt really sexy and I hope the fans will agree.” 
But it’s not the clothes that make the woman. 
“For me it’s not the clothes that make me feel sexy; I have to feel sexy from the inside,” said Torrie. “Everyone was so encouraging and awesome. I felt comfortable, so the shoot got sexier as it went on. I’m a huge fan of the magazine, and I can’t wait to see it when it comes out.” 
FHM is known for featuring some of the most beautiful and famous women in the world on its covers. FHM Executive Editor Sam Barclay is thrilled to have the stunning Diva on the cover of the September issue. 
“As a WWE diva, Torrie is obviously very toned and very strong, and when you see her amazing physique in the beautiful lingerie we used on the shoot, she just looks amazing,” said Barclay. “The thing about Torrie is, she’s not only a very sexy lady, she’s not only very much in the public eye as a WWE diva, but she’s also striking to look at and she has a lot of impact.” 
To see Torrie Wilson’s cover and eight-page spread, pick up the September issue of FHM when it hits newsstands Aug. 8.

Native Memphian found MMA stardom, not trouble
 By Don Wade
July 20, 2006 
These days, Quinton Jackson fights only for a living. 
But when growing up in South Memphis, Jackson fought to live. He also lived to fight. And yes, whenever possible, get paid for it. 
"My mama told me I started fighting my cousin when we were in Pampers," Jackson, 28, says. 
You could say his fighting career was truly in its infancy. Now, Jackson is a professional fighter in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) competitions as part of the World Fighting Alliance. His next bout: a light heavyweight pay-per-view event Saturday at the Forum in Los Angeles. 
Although Jackson doesn't offer any precise dollar figures, he says he's doing well in this fight game and "making more than doctors and lawyers." 
Not bad for a guy who was still in the ninth grade at age 17, one foot in prison and the other in a graveyard. 
Now 6-foot-1 and fighting in the 205-pound weight class with a record of 24-6-0, Jackson tells of beating up junkies by age eight. 
"I didn't care," says Jackson, who now lives in Orange County, Calif., and is training for this next fight in Big Bear, Calif. "I was getting paid for it." 
Back in the day, some of his fights brought no tangible rewards -- times when older "street punks," he says, beat him up for no good reasons, and times when "I beat up the bullies, protected my friends." 
Jackson was in and out of juvenile detention and his future might have met an abrupt and permanent end had his mother not moved to Raleigh and Jackson not started going to school at Raleigh-Egypt High School. 
"Nobody knew me there," he says. "I didn't have a reputation." 
Except on his grade card, which showed years of neglect and failure. Jackson says it took a while to persuade authorities at Raleigh-Egypt to admit him. It was there that Jackson started wrestling and turning from the streets. Along about this same time, an uncle who was a pastor had begun speaking seriously to Jackson. 
"He was a good man," Jackson says. "He's passed on and I miss him a lot." 
Jackson says his upcoming bout will be his first in the United States in several years; he has been fighting professionally in Japan. In part, because only three states -- Nevada, New Jersey and California -- allow ultimate fighting. 
In Japan, Jackson says he fought in a boxing-style ring. But in the United States, ultimate fighting takes place in a cage. 
"It looks very brutal, I'm not gonna lie," he says of the fights, which had enough appeal to sell out the Pond in Anaheim in April, and which have drawn famous fans such as Paris Hilton, Cindy Crawford, David Spade and Shaquille O'Neal. "But it's actually safer than boxing." 
To be sure, the bouts are shorter in duration. Jackson's next fight is scheduled for three five-minute rounds. Jackson combines elements of wrestling, boxing, kick-boxing and jiu-jitsu in his arsenal. Other fighters might bring karate, judo or tae kwan-do training to the match. 
Jackson is married with three sons, another child on the way, and says the 9-month old already shows signs of taking after Dad.
 "He's got my genes straight up," Jackson says. "You put one of my fights on TV and he starts going crazy." 
Jackson also says he has parts in two upcoming movies: "Bad Guys" and "Confessions of a Pit Fighter." 
Despite the success, some family members and friends give him grief for leaving the streets. 
"One of my cousins told me I ain't street smart no more," says Jackson. "I tell him I am street smart because I don't do that no more." 
Jackson says about two years ago he became a born-again Christian and that someday he wants to return to the streets and spread the word of a better way. 
Until then, he has this advice for those still living the street life: 
"Legal hustling? Ain't nothing wrong with that," he says. "It's how you hustle. 
"Everybody I grew up with, they're all dead, in prison or on crack. 
"God spared me. When I was born again, God let me know everything I went through, He let it happen for a reason. I was trained to be a street fighter and I feel like now, I'm God's street soldier."
