Former Fantasy and Baywatch star Angelica Bridges has been chosen for the new Las Vegas Lingerie Football League team. Vegas DeLuxe exclusively learned that the sexy redheaded Strawberry Blonde singer and dancer has officially “made the cut,” according to executives with the new team.

Vegas DeLuxe reported last week Angelica trying out for the Las Vegas team. I also can confirm that the team will be introduced, along with the unveiling of its official name, at the Thomas & Mack Arena here on Super Bowl Sunday on Feb. 6.

The half-time Lingerie Bowl special will be played live in Las Vegas and broadcast worldwide to millions of viewers featuring celebrity hosts, recording stars, NFL greats and of course the 7-on-7 full contact tackle football game played by America’s most beautiful and athletic women from the league’s current lineup of teams, including new expansion teams in Orlando and Baltimore.

The new Las Vegas team will begin play in fall 2011when additional expansion teams in Houston, Phoenix, Buffalo, Vancouver, Toronto, New Orleans, New Jersey/New York, Boston and Charlotte will be added. Leagues also are being licensed in Europe and Asia for 2012 and 2013.

In addition to the Thomas & Mack Lingerie Bowl on Super Bowl Sunday, there will be a weeklong series of activities, including a black tie awards dinner, a celebrity golf tournament and tailgate parties. League officials tell me that the new Las Vegas team players will start making promotional appearances this winter, and there will be additional tryouts next spring before summer 2011 practice gets underway.

Players from the current Los Angeles Temptations, Philadelphia Passion, Baltimore Charm, Orlando Fantasy, Dallas Desire, Chicago Bliss, Tampa Breeze and Miami Caliente will all be in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl Sunday Lingerie Bowl.
