Candice Michelle Beckman (born September 30, 1978 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin), better known as Candice Michelle, is a glamour model, actress, and Diva currently working for World Wrestling Entertainment's RAW brand.

World Wrestling Entertainment

Candice Michelle came to WWE as a contestant for the 2004 RAW Diva Search. Although she wasn't even one of the final ten contestants to make it to the televised event, and despite losing to eventual winner Christy Hemme, WWE hired Candice anyway and placed her on the RAW brand under the gimmick of a makeup artist.

Initially, Candice's role was limited. She was never given an angle on RAW and she rarely made television appearances unless to participate in one of the program's occasional lingerie pillow fights or bikini contests that were held between Christy Hemme, Lillian Garcia, Maria Kanellis, Stacy Keibler, and herself.

On June 30, 2005, at the end of the Draft Lottery, Candice Michelle was traded to the SmackDown! brand where she soon took part in an angle that involved a feud between Torrie Wilson and Melina Perez. Candice quickly became Melina's rival when she befriended Torrie. On July 24, 2005, at the Great American Bash, Candice served as the special guest referee for the Bra and Panties match between Torrie and Melina.

On the August 22, 2005 RAW Candice Michelle and Torrie Wilson made a surprise appearance. Wilson announced to the audience that she and Candice had been traded to RAW. Torrie then announced that she wanted to welcome 2005 RAW Diva Search winner Ashley Massaro to the team. Candice and Torrie then turned heel by attacking Massaro.

From that point on, Candice and Wilson continued to taunt Massaro, bringing in Victoria to attack her as part of their "initiation" for the new Diva. This continued on until Trish Stratus joined in to help Massaro retaliate against Candice and her two cohorts, who became known as the stable Ladies in Pink, a/k/a Vince's Devils.

After a WWE Women's Championship match on the September 26, 2005 edition of RAW, Candice and Wilson attacked Stratus causing a disqualification. This then led to Candice being stripped of her dress. In a result, Candice challenged them both to a Handicap Bra and Panties Match at the WWE Homecoming on October 3, 2005. However, Candice and her cohorts were once again defeated by Stratus and Massaro.

Candice began utilizing a top rope finishing maneuver, the Figure Four Necklock in an episode of 'RAW' aired on October 24 2005. Candice competed in a "Fulfill Your Fantasy" Diva battle royal at Taboo Tuesday 2005 for the Women's Championship, managing to lock Ashley Massaro in her recently-coined Hanging figure four necklock.

On, November 14, 2005 Editon of RAW (Eddie Guerrero's Tribute), Candice participated in an interbrand Diva Battle Royal. The following week, Candice was able to pick up a win on her first singles match against Mickie James with the help of Victoria.

On the December 19th, 2005 edition of RAW which was a special "Tribute to the Troops" special for the holiday season, Candice was able to go to Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan. During the tribute show Candice teamed up with Maria to defeat Ashley and Trish Stratus in a "Santa's Little Helpers" match where they were all dressed up in special outfits for the occasion. Candice and Maria defeated Women's Champion and Massaro when Candice got the pin after the roll-up on Ashley from the corner.

At New Year's Revolution, Candice competed in the Bra & Panties Gauntlet Match and was the first eliminated when stripped by Maria. Ashley Massaro won the Gauntlet after stripping Victoria's panties.

At Royal Rumble 2006, she helped guard the lottery drum, along with Victoria and Torrie Wilson.

Her film appearances include roles in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and High Crimes. In television, she has appeared on Party of Five, The Man Show and Monk.

Beckman achieved a moment of fame in 2005 after appearing in a risqué TV commercial for Go Daddy that aired during Super Bowl XXXIX. Candice played as a large-busted woman who, while appealing to a congressional committee, experiences a wardrobe malfunction. The ad was a parody of the Janet Jackson incident at a Super Bowl a few years back. She was recently featured in another Go Daddy commercial at NFL playoffs (this time as a window washer, cleaning windows seductively with her breasts), and she also appeared in another Super Bowl Go Daddy commercial during Super Bowl XL, in a parody where she seduced an ABC executive in order to procure an ad slot for Go Daddy .

Beckman played the role of Natasha in the Model Behavior episode Hotel Erotica; a softcore pornography cable TV series. In the episode, she portrays a new model competing with a more established model. She seduces the photographer on the hotel porch even though he is thought to be "gay" (as the character describes himself). The episode ends with a threesome in the hotel room.
