-- Jeremy Borash announced on his Twitter page (twitter.com/jeremyborash) over the weekend that SoCal Val is TNA's new backstage interviewer. However, she will apparently be handling her duties at live events rather than Impact tapings.

"Lauren and I will still be handling iMPACT," Borash wrote. "Val will be keeping the crowd hyped at TV tapings & doing local TV interviews. She's a natural!"

-- Today is BG James' birthday, who turns 40 years old.
