Valerie Waugaman Spices Up American Gladiators

Valerie Waugaman is used to showing off her ripped, but feminine, physique at figure-bodybuilding competitions around the country. But guess what? Starting Sunday in January, the whole country can tune in to view not only her strength, but her tough-girl sexiness as she portrays “Siren,” one of television’s new “American Gladiators.”

Valerie’s (Siren) body has landed her in the spotlight a few times. The 29-year-old, a co-owne of downtown Cleveland’s healthy Octane Cafe, has been a cover model for such magazines as Flex and Oxygen. She’s also competed in top national figure-bodybuilding contests, such as the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus and the Figure Olympia, held in Las Vegas in 2007.
