COVER: Left: Charlize Theron, smiling in a gold bikini, left hand raised, index finger hooked in the international "come here" gesture. Right: Amanda Righetti, also smiling in a blue t-shirt and matching boy shorts, wearing the welterweight title belt, arms crossed. Headline in red: YOU AND ME, KID!

COVER STORY: Amanda Righetti has the welterweight title and is considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the FCBA by many, but in order for those claims to be legitimate, there's one fighter she needs to beat.

THE PACK IS SO OVER! (Picture: Mila Kunis in a white bikini stands next to Natalie Portman in a black one.) With the infamous "Pack" struggling, HISC newcomers Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis are on fire, and taking over the cracker empire!

YOU'RE NEXT, HAYD! (Picture: Kunis rocks Bell with a hard right.) Mila Kunis lays claim to a shot at the straps with a scintillating TKO of Kristen Bell!

CALL IT THE CUTHBERT ERA!(Picture: Elisha lands against a wobbling Love Hewitt.) Now that Elisha Cuthbert finally has the bantamweight straps, the blonde stunner doesn't plan on loosening her grip on them any time soon!

HEY, ELISHA, ABOUT THOSE BELTS... (Picture: Carmella in a red bikini, smiling fetchingly.) There's certainly plenty of competition at bantam, but our panel says seven years with no title shots is long enough for Carmella DeCesare!

J-MAC IS BACK!(Picture: McCarthy in a powder blue bikini.) The FCBA's 'Loose Cannon' returns to the scene in the corner of controversial Carrie Prejean! Where does McCarthy go from here?

SIDEBAR: NOT WORTHY!(Picture: The Grand Wizard, sneering, point both thumbs toward the floor.) J-Mac wants Allison Mack in the ring, but the Grand Wizard says J-Mac doesn't deserve a rematch!

LOOK OUT WELTERS! (Picture: Brook in a blue and yelllow bikini.) Kelly Brook is back and making the step up to welter, and our panel says the stunning Ms. Brook has the stuff to shake up the division!

MILEY ON THE BACK BURNER? (Picture: Cyrus alone in a ring in a hot pink bikini.) Miley Cyrus burst onto the FCBA scene with a shocking win over Lindsay Lohan, but hasn't been seen in competition since. Are internal politics at Lookout! holding Miley down?

THE NEXT LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION? (Picture: Cole in a tan, orange, and white striped bikini.) Taylor Cole finally has her title shot...but can she avoid the chin check and take the belts from Palicki?

KEAR OF THE KATS! (Picture: Keeley Hazell in a sky blue bikini that barely contains her.) The FCBA's presence in the UK doubles with the addition of a second UK-based stable, and our panel says any organization that gets Keeley Hazell into an FCBA ring more often is a definite plus.

THUNDER FROM DOWN UNDER! (Picture: A smiling Kylie Minogue in a silver bikini.) And, if FCBA stables in the UK aren't enough, there's a new entry from the Land of Oz, Downunder Boxing, featuring talent like Abbie Cornish, Emilie de Ravin, Emily Browning, and Naomi Watts. Oh, and Director of Communications Kylie Minogue. Whom we are begging to enter the ring occasionally. Begging.

CAN YOU SAY "HOT PROSPECT"? (Picture: Tisdale lands a left to Danes' head.) Ashley Tisdale proves she belongs among the flyweight elite with an upset win over Claire Danes!

STILL PLENTY OF TOP INDY TALENT! (Picture: Julianne Hough in a purple and pink striped number.) Even with recent signings and the rise of several new stables, there are still lots of talented fighters among the indy ranks, including Julianne Hough, Emma Watson, Tisdale, Eva La Rue, Christina Hendricks, Melissa George, Jordanna Brewster, and Eva Mendes just to name a few!

RETURN OF THE CAT? (Picture: Zeta-Jones in a short gray sweater dress.) Is Catherine Zeta-Jones on the comeback trail, planning to join Liz Hurley and Posh Spice at the BBU? And what would a comeback by the former queen mean for the rest of British boxing?

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE NUMBER TWO! (Picture: Sarah Carter in a red, yellow, and green striped bikini doing "The Thinker" pose on a stool in the middle of a ring.) Some stables have only a single fighter at each weight, but, at many others there's competition under the same roof. Our panel discusses how being second (or third) best in your own stable can affect a fighter.

LET'S MAKE A DEAL! (Picture: Anna Torv in a black bikini on an old fashioned baseball card that says "Traded" at the top.) Torv for Lohan, Swanepoel for Law and five other trades we think should be made ASAP!

SHOULD GIMMICK FIGHTS BE BANNED?(Picture: A ring set up on a cruise ship.) Some love them, some hate them, and some love to hate them. Our panel discusses whether gimmick fights are good or bad for the FCBA!

SECRET SOURCE: WHY THE REST OF THE ACADEMY HATES THERON (Picture: The familiar green question mark on a black background.) Our Secret Source says Charlize Theron doesn't have any friends in her own stable. "It's true. They almost all hate her to one degree or another. Bell will never really get over their battles in the ring, Cruz figures she should be an alpha in her own stable, Witherspoon hates being in her shadow, and Swanepoel knows she won't be anything but Theron's caddy until she retires. Benz is the only one who doesn't seem to resent her. Julie figures without Charlize she'd still be an indy begging for fights. The rest, though? They have no love at all for the Golden Goddess."

POINTY'S CORNER: Fall is just around the corner, and Poindexter Del Crunchy talks about decorating your home for the harvest season.!

ALSO: LINDSAY LOHAN on how she used Britney's comeback as inspiration for her own! BLAST FROM THE PAST: HEATHER THOMAS talks about her boxing career, substance abuse problems, and long-running rivalry with Heather Locklear! AND: GEMMA ATKINSON! No, we didn't just do the interview so we could take pictures. She has interesting stuff to say, too!
