She started out in OVW as a fan favorite , gaining the nickname " Chronically Cute " , and had a series of matches against Alexis Laree . After getting breast implants , as well as straightening and bleaching her hair blonde , she turned into a villain . The villainous turn was motivated in an angle where her implants " leaked into her brain " , causing her to become psychotic .

The gimmick carried over to OVW , where the Blonde Bombers forced her to choose between them and MNM . She eventually chose MNM , but did not stay with that group for very long . As MNM ' s fixer , she , in storyline , helped them to obtain a photo shoot for the cover of " SmackDown ! magazine " , and helped to fix a problem that Melina had with Torrie Wilson , by helping Melina defeat her .

Jealous of Massaro ' s recent successes , she attacked her and , in storyline , seriously injured her , with the reasoning that if she could not appear in Timbaland ' s music project , neither could Massaro . Following this incident , she had a short rivalry with Michelle McCool , who had come to Massaro ' s aid , and was annoyed by Hall ' s singing . She defeated McCool in a singles match on the April 27 episode of " SmackDown ! " , and sang before and after their match .
