Chyna's porn past revealed: From sex tapes to wrestling-themed adult movies

Joanie 'Chyna' Laurer embarked on a fully-fledged porn career after her days in the ring were over.

The wrestler, who's sadly passed away after a possible overdose aged 45 , had her final match with WWE in May 2001.

Afterwards she took her career in a more x-rated direction - making homemade sex tapes and becoming an adult movie star.

The grappler first got a taste of life baring her body when she posed for Playboy in November 2000.

Chyna's naked pictorial was an instant success and to this day is still one of the magazine's best-selling issues.

The athlete would once again strip off for the camera when she graced the publication's cover again in 2002.

Three years later Chyna and her then-boyfriend Sean Waltman - known as X-Pac in WWE - created a sex tape during a trip to China.

Upon its release the raunchy footage was distributed under the name 1 Night in China - a play on Paris Hilton's sex tape.

Three years later Chyna and her then-boyfriend Sean Waltman - known as X-Pac in WWE - created a sex tape during a trip to China.

Upon its release the raunchy footage was distributed under the name 1 Night in China - a play on Paris Hilton's sex tape.

While Chyna agreed with the tape being released, she would always claim that the deal actually went ahead without her signing off on it.

However ex-boyfriend Sean denies these accusations and insists she earned $100,000 from the sales.

A sequel - titled Another Night in China - was released in 2009.

n 2011, Chyna made her professional porn debut after signing a deal with Vivid Video.

At the time she told Wrestling News Live's Fall Out Show: "I am totally psyched and I'll tell you why. I haven’t felt like this since I was on top of my wrestling days, right before my departure.

"I had just done my book and I did Playboy and it was the total high of my life. I loved every day and I woke up every day to do all that. It was tremendous."

She added: "I had been doing little movies here and there and a couple of reality shows but this, when this opportunity came up, I was like 'yeah', I didn't have to think twice about it.

"I was insecure for about two minutes and then I thought, 'why on earth would you not do this?'"

Chyna's first flick - titled Backdoor to Chyna - caused controversy as it parodied her wrestling career.

The movie saw her engaging in sexual acts with actors dressed liked WWE bossVince McMahon and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin.

Prior to her death Chyna began campaigning to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame .

However ex-boyfriend Triple H argued it was unlikely she'd be given the honour because of her history.

He said during a WWE podcast that he worried what young children would find if they searched for her online to see who she was.

He added: "I'm not criticising anybody, I'm not criticising lifestyle choices, everyone has their reasons.

"I don’t know what they were and I don’t care to know. It's not a morality thing or anything else, it is just the fact of what it is, it's a difficult choice."

John Terry: Win over Barcelona in 2005 put Chelsea “on the map”

John Terry believes that Chelsea‘s impressive 4-2 win over Barcelona at Stamford Bridge in the 2004/05 Champions League put the club “on the map” in Europe.

The two teams met at the Round of 16 stage, with Jose Mourinho’s side losing the first leg 2-1 at the Camp Nou, setting up a fascinating return leg in west London.

What followed was a classic European tie that ebbed and flowed as Chelsea flew into a three-goal lead inside 19 minutes, giving them the aggregate lead.

However, Barcelona hit back with two goals of their own, including a stunner from Ronaldinho, to level the tie on aggregate, but they had the away goal advantage.

With 15 minutes remaining though, Terry powered home a header that eventually secured the win for Chelsea, sending them through to the quarter-finals.

The Blues progressed to the semi-finals that season, only to infamously get knocked out by Liverpool at Anfield, but the club’s 35-year-old skipper identified the victory over Barca as a key moment in their history.

“It was of the most important as it was against one of the best teams in the world at the time and I think that put us on the map as one of the best teams in Europe,” Terry told Goal.

“We made a big statement and it was an amazing night. There were big celebrations from the supporters afterwards.”

As for this term, the centre-back has found it tough at Stamford Bridge, as Chelsea have endured a horrendous campaign following their title win last year.

However, he has registered a 90% pass accuracy across his 23 Premier League appearances, whilst winning a 60% of his duels – both statistics being the best records of any defender at the club.

Guardiola knows best - Ancelotti defends decision to bench Muller

Incoming Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti has backed current incumbent Pep Guardiolaover his decision to drop Thomas Muller for the Champions League semi-final first leg defeat toAtletico Madrid.

Munich were shot down by a single Saul Niguez goal at the Vicente Calderon and Guardiola has been severely criticised in the wake of the loss for opting to start with Robert Lewandowski alone up front.

Muller had scored eight goals in 10 Champions League games prior to the semi-finals, including two in the quarter-finals against Juventus. However, Ancelotti has declared that the coach knows best and described the Catalan as the "ideal" man to make the big decisions.

"This happens to every coach when they make a decision," Ancelotti told Goal. "Guardiola is the person who knows these players best, their physical condition and so on.

"Everybody is talking but Guardiola is the ideal person to make these decisions because he knows the players well. He decides with knowledge, there’s no doubt about that."

Bayern face the prospect of elimination at the semi-final stage for the third year in a row following defeats to Real Madrid in 2014 and Barcelona last year. Without an away goal, they return to the Allianz Arena in an attempt to break through against an Atleti team who have conceded only once in five knockout matches this season.

Why Jay Z Didn’t Accompany Beyonce on the Met Gala 2016 Red Carpet

Beyonce completely nailed her 2016 Met Gala look. There was just one thing missing when she hit the red carpet on Monday, May 2, in New York — her husband, Jay Z. Although fashion’s biggest night comes on the heels of Bey’s much talked-about visual album, Lemonade, sources tell Us Weeklythat the rapper’s absence is no biggie — he’s simply just been there, done that.

"He's done it before,” the insider explains toUs. “There's just no big reason for him to go.”

The rapper accompanied his wife to last year’s bash and most memorably in 2014. As Beyonce fans well remember, 2014 marked the year that her sister Solangeattacked Jay in an elevator at an afterparty. Unconfirmed reports suggested at the time that the two in-laws were fighting over the “Holy Grail” rapper’s alleged romance with designer Rachel Roy.

Fast-forward to 2016 and unconfirmed rumors of his relationship with Roy are in full force after Beyonce, 34, dropped controversial track “Sorry.” In the song, the superstar -- who wore custom Givenchy on Monday -- suggests that her unfaithful lover “call Becky with the good hair.”

In a since deleted Instagram post, Roy hinted that she was Becky, captioning a snap “good hair don’t care.” Roy later denied that she’s Becky after getting bombarded online by Bey’s fans.

It’s unclear whether Jay Z will accompany Bey to any afterparties, but so far things seem fine between the parents to Blue Ivy. The couple have been busy traveling together on Bey's Formation tour.

THE BEST MET GALA LOOKS EVER

Kerry Washington Is Pregnant! Scandal Star Expecting Second Child With Nnamdi Asomugha, Sources Confirm

Gladiators have a big reason to celebrate today.

Scandal star Kerry Washington is expecting her second child with husband Nnamdi Asomugha, two sources confirm to E! News exclusively. The actress' baby bump was on display when she attended the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in Washington, D.C., over the weekend. Washington is also expected to walk the red carpet tonight at the 2016 Met Gala.

Washington's happy news comes as the proud parents continue to raise daughter Isabelle away from the public eye.

At the same time, the Hollywood couple has been open about how parenthood has changed them for the better.

"I will say I feel really, really blessed," Kerry gushed to the Los Angeles Times in one of her first interviews after welcoming a child. "I just feel really blessed that I'm kind of living extraordinary dreams come true in my work life and in my personal life."

When talking to close friend Jimmy Kimmel late at night, the actress also tried to play it cool when discussing the joys of motherhood.

"Life is really great," she shared. "You know, little girl at home, it's great."  

Some of her co-stars from Shonda Rhimes' addictive drama have shared how much being a mom has impacted Kerry in more ways than one.

"[Motherhood] has just made her more awesome than she was to begin with," Tony Goldwyn shared with E! News. "She's just so happy all the time as it does when you have a baby. It's a magical time."

Bayern Munich could scupper Arsenal’s attempts of landing £20m international star

Another day, another miserable transfer tale for our Gunners in tonight to swallow along with their pints.

That’s because Arsenal could be dealt a huge transfer blow in their chase for Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka this summer, according to German daily Express.

With a major overhaul expected at the Emirates this summer, a revamp of their engine room is thought to be one of the major priorities.

The Gunners have been strongly linked with the Borussia Monchengladbach star for a number of months now, with a £20m move mooted.

However, it is now claimed the 23-year old may wait with his current charges another season in order to secure a move to Bundesliga titans Bayern Munich.

After the Bavarians showed their interest, Xhaka now could remain with Monchengladbach another season and wait for his £24m buyout clause to be activated.

Xabi Alonso has another year remaining on his deal at the Allianz Arena and the Swiss holding midfielder could represent an ideal replacement.

Xhaka is currently believed to be happy with where he is, though a move to Munich may well be of interest if he ultimately stays another year.

'We die for each other': Fernando Torres spirit renewed by Atletico Madrid homecoming

T

he word bittersweet could have been invented for the last time that Fernando Torres visited Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena. Unforgettably, he was part of the Chelsea team that achieved something akin to a sporting miracle in lifting the 2012 Champions League but, within minutes of the penalty shoot-out drama, a remarkably candid assessment of his own largely miserable spell at the club was being delivered. 

“I felt they have treated me in a way I was not expecting,” said Torres. “The truth is I’ve gone through some very bad moments. The worst moments of my career in the past season. I am not willing to relive those moments. There have been many ups and downs and many moments where I felt lost and I didn’t know what to do and where to be.”

As his Chelsea team-mates were celebrating, the memory of Torres talking in such stark terms still lingers. His Munich postscript, however, does at least promise the possibility of undiluted joy. Torres had been deeply disappointed that night both not to have started and then not asked to take a penalty but, on his return to Bavaria yesterday, he sounded almost reborn in his enthusiasm.

Atletico Madrid, of course, were his childhood club and, although the teenager once nicknamed ‘El Nino’ has now matured into a seasoned 32-year-old campaigner, he can rarely have spoken with such wide-eyed optimism and excitement.

“There’s a real life here,” said Torres. “We really live for each other. We will fight and try to get to the final. The most important thing is we know who we are. We’re nothing if we’re not a team. As a team we can beat anyone. That is our philosophy. We die for each other. For us every game is a battle, a war.”

A further feature of Chelsea’s unlikely Champions League triumph four years ago was the semi-final victory against Barcelona that culminated in Torres personally sealing a similarly extraordinary victory at the Nou Camp. Pep Guardiola was in the home dugout that night and, having seen Torres score this season against Barcelona and also only be denied by the post in last week’s first leg, is preparing carefully for his threat. 

“He is still very dangerous,” said Guardiola. “He was very good at Liverpool, had a few difficulties at Chelsea, but still a very good player. Yes, Torres scored that goal back then when we lost with Barcelona. It happens in the Champions League. You can’t control everything in football. I’m happy he is back home in MadTorres has described the prospect of reaching another Champions League final with Atletico as “beyond comparison” to his many other career achievements and is clearly also enjoying his seniority and responsibility in the squad.

“I’m trying to make another step forward,” he said. “I’m enjoying every day and working every day.It’s the only club I would have come back to. I’m trying to learn from the younger players and be in harmony with them.”rid and happy.”

Thomas Muller: Bayern Munich need fireworks against Atletico Madrid

Thomas Muller wants Bayern Munich to produce some "fireworks" when they face Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday.

Bayern are 1-0 down in the tie after failing to break down Atletico at the Vicente Calderon last week.

It is not the first time they have faced adversity in the competition this year as they recovered from 2-0 down in the last round to beat Juventus 4-2 in extra-time.

Muller, who started on the bench for the first leg, is hoping for more of the same against Atletico.

"As a team we need to set off a few fireworks," he said. "We're in for a tough challenge, but after all we're Bayern. It's a Champions League home match and I think our record is quite decent in that respect."

Bayern rested several key players at the weekend and missed out on the chance to wrap up the Bundesliga title as they were held to a draw by Borussia Monchengladbach.

The confidence has been knocked a bit the last few weeks," said Muller. "We stand together well as a team but it's no longer as easy as it was."

Having lost to Barcelona and Real Madrid at the semi-final stage in the last two years, Bayern face the prospect of a third straight elimination by a Spanish side.

Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said Tuesday's match is of "paramount importance" to the Bavarians.

"We'll give it everything. I hope we can make it," he said. "We know it's going to be tough. We'll try everything and put up a big fight supported by a 70,000 crowd. I can promise that. I hope this fight will ultimately take us to Milan."

“He is a marble head” – Louis van Gaal blasted by Barcelona legend Hristo Stoichkov

Van Gaal brought Valdes to United in the January transfer window last year but a clash between the pair over the goalkeeper’s alleged refusal to play for the reserves saw the Spaniard banished from the first team.

The shot-stopper was eventually allowed to leave United earlier this year to move to Standard Liege on loan in Belgium, but the Pro League side cancelled the deal on Friday to give their younger players a chance in the first team for the rest of the season.

Even in his country they did not want him despite being third in the World Cup. He is a marble head whom nobody wants.”

Xavi: Real Madrid played like a small team in Clasico

Barcelona legend Xavi feels Real Madrid played "like a small team" in their 2-1 Clasico win over his former club last month.

Zinedine Zidane opted for a cautious approach as Madrid came from behind to beat their arch-rivals 2-1 at Camp Nou - a result that helped reignite the Liga title race.

However, Xavi believes that style - along with the tactics of Atletico Madrid - would not be accepted at Barca.

"Real Madrid played like a small team in the Clasico at Camp Nou," Xavi told beIN SPORTS.

"A big team like Barcelona should not be playing like Atletico Madrid. Big teams like Barcelona and Madrid should always stick to their own style. You cannot start playing like Atletico.

"[Atletico coach Diego] Simeone perfectly sets his team up to counter their opponents' strengths, but I don't like to see teams who shut up shop at the back. 

"Barcelona fans would not understand it if they were to change their style of play. They are used to it that Barcelona are in charge and create 15 to 20 chances per game. Barcelona's style is non-negotiable."
