The press and internet discussion show no signs of letting up anytime soon.  The elements are there for the buzz. Sexy cheerleaders, alleged public lesbian sex, a drunken brawl, arrests, fake ID's and denials.

-- A fugitive arrest warrant was issued for blonde bombshell cheerleader 20-year old Renee Thomas.

--28-year old beauty Angela Keathley has been put on indefinite leave from her job as a nurse in North Carolina after the incident.

--Both gals have been dismissed as cheerleaders from the squad.

--Penthouse now reportedly has an offer for the cheerleaders to pose nude in the men's magazine.

-- Renee Thomas has issued a statement claiming that there was 'no sex' and that the moaning coming from the stall was the girls 'comforting each other.'

-- Angela Keathley released the same type statement through Tampa attorney Joe Episcopo. ``She just wanted to make clear there was no sex."

--Her claim now - Keathley became "emotional'' over meeting (or discussing) her ex-boyfriend in the bar. "The blonde was comforting her."

-- Meanwhile, to capitalize on its sudden notoriety, Banana Joe's is offering no cover charge on Fridays and Saturdays to patrons who dress like cheerleaders. Actual cheerleaders who are 21 or older can drink free, said Bridgette Collier, director of operations.

It maybe a little late for sex denials.  Witnesses have told police that it was clear the pair were involved in sex acts in the stall. 

David Letterman dedicated his Top Ten to the scandal to the pair a couple of nights ago:

6. "Would you describe yourself as a 'slut' or a 'tramp'?"

5. "Would you like to participate in a special event with me and my wife?"

With the NFL weekend just around the corner - don't expect any let up in these stories anytime soon.  The buzz is till white hot.

Add to that- the Carolina Panthers play at home this Sunday, and the remaining cheerleading 'TopCats' should be on the field for the game - unless the organization opts to pull the squad for this game.

The signs in the stands from the fans should be something to watch.
