Stacy Keibler admits she's no expert on fantasy football -- yet -- but the WWE diva-turned-actress knows enough to be hosting a Superdraft VIP party at Las Vegas' Palms Casino Resort on Friday night (8/27). "Fantasy football has become so big. I'm excited about it. I'm a big Baltimore Ravens fan. I used to be a Ravens cheerleader and a season ticket holder," she reminds. "By getting involved in your draft, you learn not only more about your own team, you get more involved in all the teams."

Fantasy Football Draft with Stacy Keibler - Superdraft Weekend Hostess.

Certainly, a lot of the same fellows who followed her wrestling career are bound to be aboard this odd yet growing phenomenon of men and occasionally women who spend money to create fantasy football teams. In the case of Superdraft, it's about football, but it's also about partying.

Keibler points out that the relatively new Superdraft weekend festivities span several events, including a model search. "Ashton's (Kutcher) doing a live podcast. Snoop Dogg is performing." Some 2,700 people are expected.

The popular blond personality, also remembered for her stint on "Dancing With the Stars," just finished filming an episode of NBC's "Chuck" for the fall -- playing an undercover CIA agent. "Steve Austin is also in it. We know each other from our WWE days, you know. We get to have a little bit of a fight."

Keibler also has a movie in the can, "Dysfunctional Sons." She'd love to do a sitcom -- or a role in a high-octane movie. "My career has been more of a marathon than a sprint. I get offers all the time to do things, but I try to be smart about what I do," she says, "to only do things that are right for me and make sense."

RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES: A mid-October production start has been set for the movie going under the temporary title of "The Amanda Knox Project" -- as in the true story of the 20-year-old American woman living in Italy who was convicted of killing British Meredith Kercher, one of her roommates. The grisly case involved sexual violence and murder under the influence of hashish and sexually violent graphic novels owned by Knox's boyfriend, wealthy heir Raffaele Sollecito, who was also found guilty in the case. Knox was sentenced to 26 years in prison. Casting for Knox and other principals is under way.

ANOTHER DOG HEARD FROM: Just when you think they must be running out of new reality show ideas, here comes word of "Celebrity Best in Show." Now in the works, the planned series is being described as "Dancing with the Stars" -- but with pets. Celebrities who want their doggies to win this TV competish are being sought, along with dog trainers, judges and a host.
