“My ALBUM!! Ahhhh…. one of my dreams is finally coming true!! I have been a writer my entire life. I love to express myself in words. Now, my words are combined with music and I am excited. The single to my first partial album is called, “Fantasy.” It is a song I wrote when I was having a hard time. I wanted to be some boy’s fantasy but he didn’t care. I wanted my life with him but he wanted nothing to do with me. Something I think happens a lot to men and women. The album is called, “Sevin Sins.” It is available on ITUNES on April 13. 13 has been a twisted lucky number for me. There are 4 original songs written by me, 2 music videos, and a free original photo booklet. My album is Rock music, Twisted lyrics, and Sex appeal. I will be coming out with “Fantasy” in February. I hope you all support me in my dream. I can’t wait to share my thoughts through music with you.”

We have obtained a short preview clip of the record’s first single, ‘Fantasy’. Play it below:

The teaser suggests that the EP will feature pop-rock sounds. The single will be available on iTunes later this month, and the album is due out on April 13th. Kanellis also stars at the new Celebrity Apprentice.

Kanellis is a professional American wrestler and model of Greek heritage. She is currently signed by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as a performer on their SmackDown brand. In addition, she posed for the April 2008 cover of Playboy magazine, and competed on the reality TV shows “Outback Jack” and “Raw Diva Search” in 2004.

“The Celebrity Apprentice” will premiere on March 14th on NBC.

She’s bubbly, she’s beautiful and she’s an object of desire for many men. Of course, she is also Greek. She’s Maria, and she’s darn proud to call herself a WWE Diva. While many may think she’s ditzy or absent-minded, there’s one thing that’s well-known: she’s hot.
But hey, she wouldn’t have it any other way. Maria has won many beauty pageants in her time, but she’s not just all beauty. From kickboxing to sewing to dancing to working on cars, Maria’s areas of expertise make her one of the best-rounded Divas in WWE.
After years of entering beauty pageants and an education at Northern Illinois University, the Ottawa, Ill., native struck it big by nearly making it to the end of the 2004 Diva Search. While she didn’t win, our fans felt an immediate connection to her, and she quickly made her way to Raw as a backstage interviewer who wasn’t afraid to ask any question, from the hard-hitting to the quirkily obvious.
Since her debut in WWE, however, Maria’s role has expanded by leaps and bounds. At first, she was tentative to step into the ring, but to this day she continues to learn the ropes and develop into an exciting and skilled performer. She also can be seen (or read, as it may be) lending her auto expertise to our fans in her very own WWE Magazine column every month. In the April 2008 issue of Playboy, Maria was on the cover.

How did your family react to your decision to start modeling and later wrestle?
“My family has always been very supportive of me and Greeks are very a proud people.  I’m very proud to be a Greek and I love all of my Greek fans!”

Do you agree with the idea that beautiful people such as yourself should show their bodies without being embarrassed in magazines?

Would you like to start doing more modeling work, or acting? Would you consider coming to work in Hollywood?
“Definitely, I think it’ll be a great opportunity to be in a movie and show everyone what the WWE Divas are all about.”

What is your biggest dream (future plans)? (personal life and career)
“I’m living my dream right now by just being in the WWE.  I still want to be Divas Champion and then move back to RAW to become Women’s Champion.  I also recently recorded a song and I would like to do more of that, and finally I would like to launch my own clothing line.”
