COVER: Adrianne Palicki stands in the middle of the ring, hands on her hips, in full Wonder Woman regalia. Splashed across the top in red: THE NEXT UNIFIED LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION!

COVER STORY: Talented Adrianne Palicki has been on the fringes of the lightweight elite, but out panel says she's poised to take the final step...and the belts from Cameron Diaz!

NEW FLYWEIGHT ERA? (Picture: Hudgens lands a hard right to the head of Mishy.). Vanessa Hudgens wins her second straight over Michelle Williams and takes the flyweight titles. Are the ingenues, led by Nessa, Hayden, Brenda and Cassie about to shove the flyweight vets aside? Our panel discusses.

HAYDEN ON A ROLL!(Picture: Dobrev lays on her back over the bottom rope as Panettiere looks on.) Hayden Panettiere destroys Nina Dobrev and batters Brenda Song to earn a shot at Hudgy's title!

SHERIFF BACK ON TOP! (Picture: Dushku clubs Glau along the ropes as the referee watches intently.) Hall of Famer Eliza Dushku shows she's as good as ever with a tenth round TKO of Summer Glau to win the bantamweight belts once again!

BATTLE OF THE CHAMPIONS! (Picture: Diaz and Landry both land during a spirited exchange.) Lightweight champion Cameron Diaz (barely) outpoints welterweight champ Ali Landry in a classic contest of skill and will!

BEST SERVED COLD! (Picture: Aguilera on her haunches with her face on the canvas as Spears looms over her.) Britney Spears survives The Stormtroopers, a tame referee and nine rounds of fouling and pounds out rival Christina Aguilera!

BEST CHEST IN THE WEST...EAST, NORTH, AND SOUTH! (Picture: Decker slams a left hook into Bell's rack along the ropes.) Brooklyn Decker wins the Battle Of The Bust, dominating Catherine Bell!

J-MAC ATTACK! (Picture: Park lies face down at McCarthy's feet.) Jenny McCarthy places another Front Street notch in her belt with an eighth round KO of Grace Park!

SIDEBAR: FRONT STREET VS. J-MAC: IS IT GETTING OUT OF HAND?(Pictures: Side-by-side: Left: McCarthy holds up a lock of Park's hair. Right: Neve displays her shears.) Double crosses, blow up dolls, suspensions, and now scalps? Our panel thinks it may be time for the FCBA to step in an put a stop to this long running feud!

FIGHTING PIPER'S THE PITS! (Picture: Perabo doubles up Munn with a hook to the midsection.) Piper Perabo continues her tear through the FCBA's bantamweight ranks with an impressive win over Olivia Munn and a seven round destruction of Morena Baccarin!

NICHOLS MAKES HER CASE!: (Picture: Rachel rocks Biel with a hard right.) Boxing World has always believed Rachel Nichols had Top Ten talent, but her hard-fought decision over Jessica Biel has made believers out of a lot of others.

PORTMAN JOINS HISC!: (Picture: Kreuk lies on her back as a smiling Natalie looks on.) How impressive was Natalie Portman's eighth round KO of Kristin Kreuk? Impressive enough that The Consortium bought Nat's contract...and made Kristin VERY nervous.

RHONA POUNDS HER WAY INTO THE PICTURE! (Picture: Mitra snaps back Garner's head with a hard right.) Rhona Mitra serves notice on the lightweight division with a shocking seventh round TKO of Jennifer Garner!

ELISHA NEXT IN LINE?: (Picture: Alba falls to her back after a hard right from Cuthbert.) Elisha Cuthbert impresses with a seventh round stoppage of Jessica Alba, her sixth win in seven tries, and gets our panel wondering if it isn't time the blonde stunner gets a shot at the gold.

SCINTILLATING STUFF! (Picture: McAdams and Greene exchange in the center of the ring.) Rachel McAdams pulls out a one-point decision over hard-charging Ashley Greene!

SCARJO BACK ON TRACK! (Picture: Johansson raises her hands in triumph as Shahi lays face down at her feet .) Scarlett Johansson storms back from her title fight loss to Mishy Williams by blasting out Sarah Shahi!

ROUNDING BACK INTO SHAPE!: (Picture: Larter snaps back Cook's head with a straight left.) As if the lightweight division's penthouse wasn't crowded enough, Ali Larter's looked like she's returning to form with a solid win over A.J. Cook!

R&B SEQUEL!: (Picture: Rihanna face down on the canvas as the referee counts and Beyonce moves to a neutral corner.) Beyonce and Rihanna reprise their 2010 slugfest...and this time it's Ms. Knowles who pounds out the victory!

RICCI ON THE RISE!: (Picture: Christina thumps a right into Shakira's face.) Former flyweight champ Christina Ricci turns heads with an impressive decision over Shakira!

POINTY'S CORNER: Poindexter Del Crunchy talks about Easter dinner...what to serve, how to make it, and how to get that tablescape just perfect.

ALSO: KATIE CASSIDY: The brunette beauty got some attention with a solid decision win over highly-regarded Minka Kelly. Could the 24-year-old bantam be in line for a management contract? BLAST FROM THE PAST: MARILU HENNER! The redhead with the autobiographical memory talks about her boxing career, including her back-to-back knockouts of Jamie Lee Curtis and her two round destruction at the hands of Jayne Kennedy! AND: VICTORIA BECKHAM!: BBU-America's boss sits down for an interview about her plans for the stable and the FCBA!
