Jillian Hall has a new blog post on MySpace, talking about her Christmas album that is available (yes, it’s real) at iTunes. What songs does she sing? Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, Jingle Bell Rock, I’ll Be Home For Christmas, Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree and The Christmas Song. Oooh yeah.

According to Brooke Adams’ MySpace, she will be in Playboy and plans to join TNA some time soon.

Marty Jannetty posted a blog on his MySpace that he was disappointed in his match on RAW, although excited to be a part of it. He didn’t say anything negative about working with Ken Kennedy, and admitted that his ring pants were ridiculous.

There is a story on WWE’s digital strategy at Adweek.com.

For a pretty good interview with Batista, click here. He talks about how he’d like to see Samoa Joe and Low Ki in WWE, says it made him sick when Khali was made champion, claims he was in love with Melina, reveals that the Royal Rumble winner this year will get a title shot on the brand he’s from (as opposed to getting the chance to switch brands, as has been the case in recent years) and more.
