This week in Diva Dish, Natalya and Victoria embark on the SmackDown/ECW tour of Australia and New Zealand. Also, Natalya, Michelle McCool, Kelly Kelly, Victoria, Beth Phoenix, Eve, Katie Lea, Cherry, Lilian Garcia, Layla and Maria share their Father’s Day wishes.

Divas Down Under
The SmackDown/ECW tour of Australia and New Zealand is in full swing, but before Natalya and Victoria took the long plane ride to the land Down Under, Diva Dish caught up with the best buds.

“The best part of our jobs is that we get to wrestle and entertain in front of our fans from all over the world. So I’m very curious to see what the Australian fans will be like, and feel their energy,” Natalya said.

The Diva planned to spend some of her limited free time sightseeing and doing a charity appearance.

“I’m really excited to go a hospital there – it’s the first time I’m going to one with WWE and visiting kids. So I’m looking forward to that because my family did a lot of charity work, and this is my first time,” the SmackDown Diva said.

Natalya’s BFF, Victoria, has been to Australia and New Zealand three times on WWE tours, but she’s never gone sightseeing. Natalya’s interested in seeing a wombat and a kangaroo, and Victoria, well, she’s interested in catching some other wildlife.

“I actually want to enjoy myself there, you know? I always enjoy myself, but I want to be able to relax and see some blokes … Isn’t that how you say boys?” Victoria said.

Honoring Dad
With Father’s Day quickly approaching, we talked to the Divas about what makes their dads special.

Victoria told Diva Dish she recently had a great bonding experience with her dad during a road trip from California to Las Vegas to visit a sick aunt.

“The whole trip he did not stop talking – I couldn’t get a word in. I was like, who is this man?” Victoria laughed. “I think that as the years go on, you get closer and closer with your parents. That drive to Vegas from California was good bonding. It was amazing. It brought us a lot closer. I love my papi.”

The SmackDown Diva also mentioned her dad has his eye on a Chrysler 300M, thanks to his daughter’s recent Black Widow Customs business venture and win in the YouTube Chrysler 300 Spin It Your Way contest.

“Maybe we’ll enter his for the next contest – who knows? He liked our Chrysler we pimped out so he’s looking into getting one of his own,” she said. “Like daughter, like father? Wouldn’t that be cool?”
