TAMPA - Howard Stern wanted the two Carolina Panthers cheerleaders for an interview. Penthouse wanted them to pose.

Even British tabloid reporters called the Tampa Police Department's public information office, where phones on Monday rang and rang.

"I can't breathe," said Tampa police spokeswoman Laura McElroy. "I can't believe there are so many newspapers in North Carolina. Alcohol, sex and cheerleaders are apparently the ingredients for a hot story, because I am getting flooded with calls."

It seems everyone wants to know about the arrest early Sunday of two Carolina Panthers Topcats.

Renee Thomas, 20, and Angela Keathley, 26, allegedly had sex together in a Channelside nightclub bathroom, then stirred up a ruckus with women who were waiting in line for a stall.

Police say the confrontation ended in a punch that landed the two tipsy pom-pom girls behind bars.

Initial reports, released Sunday, offered scant detail. Police weren't even sure about the name of one cheerleader. Monday, details emerged, just in time for the gawkers.
