Kate Beaver
Sexy Singles Class of 2009
The year Kate Beaver was featured in the Sexy Singles roundup, she posed in a red bikini and nearly broke the Internet. These days, she’s a brand ambassador for Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey, which we think is fitting given her bright red hair. Listen to her Thursdays on 94WIP’s Mike and Ike show, which airs from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. Status: Dating but still no ring.

An Emirates Airline stewardess, Belinda Roberts, has given up her flying career to become a cheerleader with the Miami Heat basketball team.
The Australian Business Class flight attendant auditioned alongside hundreds of women from around the world for a chance to become the team’s dancer, and was selected.
“Making the team is a dream come true. I was speaking with my mum the other day and we were saying this has been my dream since I was 15 and it’s amazing how dreams can take time but they do come true,” Roberts told Arabian Business.
“So now I am a part of the Miami heat dancers’ squad. The season will start in October and I’m so excited to perform at the first game,” she added.
The 29-year-old worked initially as a dancer and was working for the Dubai airline for four years while on a break from the sport.
She advises those with dreams to have the courage to follow them and share their “passion with the world.”
“Sit down, close your eyes, and think about what it was you wanted to do when you were younger, when there were no limits, and then try to connect to it. If there is a spark of passion still alive then the first step should be your belief in doing it, [not] how you’re going to do it,” she said.
“The universe works in mysterious ways. Dream big, believe in yourself, and most of all share your passion with the world,” added Roberts.
The Miami Heat team was a National Basketball Association (NBA) champion for two years in a row since 2012.
Cheerleading for the team entails traveling for national and international games as well as taking part is charitable activities.
While the deadline for the latter is unknown, Roberts does not plan on returning to Emirates. She will continue to chase her dancing career, instead.

My last visit to see the New York Lizards Dancers was shortened due to inclement weather, so I made the trip back up the NJ Turnpike to see the squad at the Lizards home playoff game.

Being a professional athlete is something every child that plays a sport dreams of, even cheerleaders. Two former Lincoln High School cheerleaders dream came true this year with the Minnesota Vikings.
Karmen and Kirsten Nyberg have cheered since they can remember. After graduating from Lincoln in 2010 the fraternal twins stuck together in their hometown to cheer at Augustana. They enjoyed being Vikings so much that they decided to try out to be Minnesota Vikings cheerleaders. After a month of auditions, they got the call.
“My sister got the call first from our coach, Tami, saying that she had made the team. I was standing there and tears were just rolling down my face. I was upset thinking that I didn’t make it, but then I got the phone call and everything was ok. There was about five minutes though I wasn’t sure whether I was going to make it or not,” Vikings Cheerleader Karmen Nyberg said.
“Right away there was a lot of excitement, but also nerves because we had to pack up our lives and move to Minneapolis the following week. It was all worth it and now we are ready to have a great season with the Vikings cheerleaders,” Kirsten said.
The Vikings Head Cheer Coach is Tami Krause. She says the twins from South Dakota stood out among the other 148 cheerleaders vying for 35 spots on the team.
“They have a real spark about them,” Krause said. “When we are doing auditions we truly look for women of excellence with the whole package. They are beautiful, well spoken, fit, athletic, strong, great performers, and they are wonderful fans of the Vikings,” she added.
What started out as a childhood fantasy has become a reality due to the Nybergs hard work and more importantly their strength in numbers.
“Our ultimate dream as cheerleaders and dances was to be a part of the NFL. It is the top level you reach as a cheerleader. Specifically doing it together has been the ultimate goal. We are more than happy to be doing it,” Vikings Cheerleader Kirsten Nyberg said.
The Nybergs will get plenty of practice as the Vikings have five preseason games. The first is the Hall of Fame Game this Sunday in Canton, Ohio against the Steelers.
