Over the past year, John Cena has been very vocal about his feelings towards Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and how he’s turned his back on the wrestling industry. Cena has called The Rock out on several occasions, saying The Rock has gone back on his word that he’d always remember the fans who made him a star. Now, Cena wants to settle their score in the ring.

In an interview with MTV, Cena said he wants to wrestle The Rock Dwayne Johnson at WrestleMania 26 for a one-night-only showdown of action stars. “I’ve been trying to wrestle him,” Cena told MTV’s Josh Horowitz. “It’s not that he won’t accept the challenge. He truly has a full plate.”

Cena then set a date for the possible showdown and revealed that he’s not even that confident that he could beat the Great One. “What a better showdown .. Dwayne Johnson, or The Rock, or whatever he wants to be called .. versus John Cena at, let’s say, WrestleMania 26. I’m not even saying I’m going to win. He’s a hell of an athlete. God-given ability. One of the nicest people ever to grace a WWE ring. I’d just like to get him back for a night.”

Former WWE champ Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recently spoke to MovieFone.com. They hit on several subjects, including one he rarely touches on anymore: wrestling.

Here is an excerpt:

Q: When was the last time you performed the People’s Elbow?

A: There was a considerable amount of alcohol involved … [Laughs] No, honestly the last time I did that was in Madison Square Garden five years ago. I’ve retired — that was my very last match. What a perfect place to end my career, in Madison Square Garden. I had the best time within that five or six year period, creating that character. There’s nothing like performing in front of a live audience and the energy and adrenaline rush that I got. Being in that world provided me with really invaluable experience in terms of entertaining an audience.

Q: You come from generations of wrestlers, and wrestling is obviously in your blood — did you see ‘The Wrestler’?

A: I did — I saw ‘The Wrestler’ and I loved the movie. I thought Mickey [Rourke]’s performance was outstanding. I thought that the movie that Darren Aronofsky created was real and memorable. That world … it’s a very visceral, authentic world that he created, and I can’t say enough great things about the movie, and I’m very proud of Mickey. My uncle actually trained Mickey for the movie, and he would call me weekly and give me progress reports on Mickey. That’s a tough task to go from just being an actor to becoming not only a professional wrestler, but a professional wrestler who’s wrestled for 25 years. My uncle was amazed at Mickey’s progress and his desire to do everything. [Laughs] That takes commitment.

Head on over to MovieFone.com for the full interview with The People’s Hero.

Former WWE star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been spotted on a beach in Hawaii with a black bikini-clad woman with the name of Lauren Hashian. Who in the heck is Lauren Hashian and why should we care? Lauren Hashian is the daughter of original Boston drummer Sib Hashian (who is pretty bloody good.)

According to BostonHerald.com, she is 24 years old and was a finalist on the UPN reality show, R U the Girl back in 2005. She is a up and coming singer who met Johnson when he was in Boston shooting The Game Plan two years ago.

Here’s what we know: the Lynnfield chica (Lauren Hashian), 24, was a finalist on the UPN reality show, “R U the Girl” back in 2005, and is also an up and coming singer who met the Hollywood he-man in Boston when he was here shooting “The Game Plan” two years ago.

The two, we’re told, were regulars at Davio’s during the shooting of the Disney flick, and Lauren even brought the Tinseltown titan home to Lynnfield for dinner to meet the parents.

“Sib thinks he’s a great guy,” said a F.O.L.

Coincidentally, the “Get Smart” star and his wife of 10 years, Dani Garcia Johnson, called it quits last summer as a couple. They have a 6-year-old daughter.

Lauren, who has sung locally and even fronted Ernie and the Automatics (her dad’s the drummer) when they opened for Los Lobos at the Cape Cod Melody Tent in 2006, has since moved to La-La to work on her music career.

Stay tuned… We have “More Than A Feeling” about this celebrity coupling!
