And your winner? Denver’s own Renee Herlocker, a former Broncos Cheerleader (from 2000 to 2006) and Mile High Sports personality whose willingness to bend over pool tables has definitely paid off. “The prize was a year contract with Spike,” she says. “I’m basically their new correspondent-host” — a gig she earned shortly after filming a featured spot in an upcoming movie that’s generating a little bit of interest: Iron Man 2…

Iron Man 2 “was a really fun project,” Herlocker says, explaining that “I’m actually in the opening of the movie. The lead character, Tony Stark [played by Robert Downey Jr.] has a cast of professional superhero cheerleaders called the Ironettes, and I’m one of them.”

In addition to strutting her stuff, Herlocker says she was originally scheduled to speak a line or two prior to Downey delivering a big speech to a convention crowd. Problem is, he was having problems memorizing all the dialogue, so the sequence was cut down in length, and her speaking part wound up being scrapped as well. “It’s all good, though,” she says — and she praises Downey, who was on set for one of the three days she spent shooting in L.A., as “a really good guy.”…

And Herlocker soon learned about her initial Spike Girl assignment. “My first job is October 17. I’ll be hosting the red carpet for the 2009 Scream Awards that Spike is airing,” she says. “And I’ll also do a lot of other hosting — hosting launch parties for new video games, going to movie premieres, interviewing celebrities. It’ll be a ton of great stuff that’s going to be seen on Spike TV and Spike.com.”
