What is it about pretty blondes named Erin doing sports? Here’s another one: Erin Nicole, who works the hardwoods of Detroit’s Pistons basketball games and apparently also provides traffic reports to commuters. Just looking at her, it’s probably not a surprise that she’s also an ex-model and actress.

Here’s Erin’s bio from WXYZ:

Erin grew up in Birmingham and began to study performing arts at the age of 7. After graduating from Mercy High School she traveled to New York to study singing and acting.

Working in the broadcast and entertainment industry has always been Erin’s dream. She broke into the business in 2002 as a reporter for UPN and CBS Detroit.

In 2004, Erin worked as the arena hostess for Detroit Pistons home games and also appeared on Pistons Weekly shows.

Thanks to Bob for the pics and hipping us to Erin.
