I haven't posted about Erica Hill for a while so I thought I would. She looks delectable as usual.
Beautiful, but flash us a smile once in a while, laddie...
Erica is wearing a nice plaid dress, very hot in a nerdy kinda way. Mike Galanos thinks so, he is in his tiger position, ready to pounce on his prey. Mike's thinking, should I wait for commercial break or take her now, grrr...

I love it when guys get caught looking, TVNewser has the scoop on the whole Dan Abrams calling out FBN's Cody Willard for staring at PETA model Joanna Krupa's breasts. Today, there were not 1 but 2 guys checking out Amy Robach (and who would blame them). But to get caught on national TV, naughty naughty little boys...
Lester Holt: I didn't peek. I swear I was only looking at her notes...
Dude: Um, I was looking for my visual cue on when to speak... I think. Amy: What about that thing crawling down your leg in your pants? Dude: Um..., no comment.
Like most people, the first thing you think of when you see Tamron Hall of MSNBC is that she is a Halle Berry clone. In many ways they are similar. Her hair, eyes, lips, skin, all very similar to that of Halle. And like Halle, I think Tamron hall is incredibly hot. She was outed a little while ago by some Chicago people that she had a boob job, probably just jealous that Tamron went national.
Obviously, now that you know her boobs are fake, they lose some appeal. I went out with a chick once that had fake boobs. When we went out at night, she looked fantastic, her cleavage was great, I would catch my buddies in the cleavage stare all the time. But when we got back home and were going at it, I could've sworn her boobs would tear off her chest the way they bouncing. They leave some pretty long stretch marks when they're bouncing around like that, can't be healthy.
Anyways, back to Tamron, she has such beautiful teeth. Most black people do, but hers are exceptional. I like the short hair too, very chic and sexy. She's got unbelievable eyes, really pretty. If I were to compare Tamron directly with Halle, I think I would still take Halle because Halle's just a tad cuter. Also there's her name, as someone posted on a forum, it sounds a little weird, like a building in college. "Psyc 101 has been relocated to Tamron Hall."
Anyways, this is what MSNBC has for Tamron's bio page:
Prior to joining MSNBC in July 2007, Hall spent 10 years at WFLD in Chicago, where she held a number of positions including general assignment reporter, consumer reporter, and most recently, host of the three-hour “Fox News in the Morning” program. She also anchored the weekday mornings and served as a noon anchor. While at WFLD, Hall covered several breaking news stories including one of Amtrak’s most devastating accidents in Illinois and she secured a one-on-one interview with Sen. Barack Obama shortly before he announced his run for the presidency. Hall was nominated for an Emmy for her consumer report segment, “The Bottom Line,” which she launched in 1999. Before joining WFLD, Hall spent four years as a general assignment reporter at KTVT in Dallas. She began her broadcasting career at KBTX in Bryan, Texas, as a general assignment reporter.
Hall received a Bachelor of Arts in Broadcast Journalism from Temple University. She is a member of the National Association of Black Journalists. Hall is also very involved in charitable organizations that help women fight abuse and organizations that work to end illiteracy. Hall is a native of Luling, Texas.
Hall lives in Manhattan.
I was able to download this clip from a poster on the ReporterCaps forum,
This is another short clip but show's Tamron's legs and body a little,
The best part, here are the pictures, Tamron loves to wear funky outfits, Girl, what the heck were you thinking when you put this top on in the morning?? This is less funky, but still a little whack, Wow, you gotta show us more of that wicked body, girl,
This was also from yesterday, not really all that hot but a funny pictorial of the very hot Erin Burnett with a packaged shoe. Merry Christmas Erin, we love you too babe...
There was a woman in the office I used to work at that wore black lace with what looked like just a bra underneath. Holy cow, I remember when I first saw her in it and thought, wow, that's how women should dress every day around here. It's the whole tease thing, it's see through enough just to see part of what's going on underneath, but not quite enough. Contessa was wearing this nice black lace top yesterday, hmmm, very nice...
LLOYD BRAUN: You sure did. Am I crazy, or those some big breasts? JERRY SEINFELD: Those are some big breasts!
I guess they say, when you've got it, flaunt it. Michelle Caruso-Cabrera of CNBC always seems like she's got her back straight and chest pointed outwards. She is quite well endowed, but man she really takes it to another level sometimes.

When you think of hot female french news anchors, you usually think of Melissa Theuriau. But there are other hotties in France including Marie Drucker. What's really hot about Marie is her boyfriend was France's Interior Minister. There was a papparazzi thing that broke the story and apparently she was forced to leave her station, France 3, for a while during the elections. It's not entirely clear but I think she is now back doing the evening news for France 3.
Women always seem hotter when they are with a man with influence, you're always left wondering what it would be like to be that guy. The opposite is also true, a women with a poor or ugly dude can also get dragged down, you're always wondering that there must be something wrong with her that's why she's with that guy.
As for Marie's physical attributes, there really isn't nothing special. She looks infinitely hotter when she's smiling. She looks like she has a pretty tight body, not many curves. She doesn't show much leg action but I think she would have a nice set of legs.
She has an English wikipedia page and this is what it says:
Marie Drucker (born in Paris on December 3, 1974) is a French journalist and television personality. She is the daughter of Jean Drucker and niece of Michel Drucker, both prominent French television stars. She got a degree in modern literature from Sorbonne.
Her journalist career started in 1994, when she worked as a freelance journalist for Le Figaro and ELLE among others, befor settling down with the agency Capa in 1997, with whom she worked on the TV program Qu'en pensez-vous ? on Canal+. She was co-presenter of the France 2 show Rince ta baignoire in 1999. Next, in August 1999, she joined the newly-formed team of I-Télé (a 24-hour news channel which first went on air in November 1999), with whom she stayed until September 2005, when she got a job as the main news-reader on the France 3 evening news show Soir 3.
In 2006, she was voted by readers of FHM France the 22nd most sexy woman in the world.
Her partner is François Baroin, the former French Minister of the Interior
This appears to a montage with various Marie Drucker clips,
This is another clip of Marie reading the news, her French doesn't appear to be as fluid as Melissa, much more business like,
Check out more pictures of the French beauty Marie Drucker,
Via TVNewser, Natalie Morales was interviewed by TV Guide and talked about her latin roots and what it means to be Hispanic. She really is a remarkable woman, brains and beauty...
If you are a Kiran fan, you've probably noticed that she is sporting a new hairdo, a straighter flatter look. In my opinion, it's sexier, the old one was a little dated. You be the judge,
If you're into watching the news channels on New Year's Eve, this year there will be plenty of hot news babes reporting the festivities. On CNN, Anderson Cooper will be doing a special version of his show "New Year’s Eve Live with Anderson Cooper" at 11pm to 12:30am (EST) live from NYC. The important details, Kiran Chetry and EricaHill will be co-hosting with Anderson, lucky guy...
FOX News will be going with their lineup of Bill Hemmer and Megyn Kelly dubbed "U Party with Fox News 2008" at 11pm to 1am (EST). Correspondents include hotties in Courtney Friel and Jill Dobson.
CNN vs FOX, Brunettes vs Blonds, I guess the viewers will decide who is worth watching...

Kaley O'Kelley (ABC15) Arizona has stolen my heart.
Yes, I know, those of us who forecast Arizona weather, hear it all the time "how do you deal with that desert heat?"
Truth be told... Fall, Winter and Spring make a few months of searching for shade and air conditioning...well worth the wait!
I grew up in the small town of East Wenatchee, Washington, in an area also considered to be a desert. That could be why I am so comfortable with the lifestyle this desert has to offer.
My broadcasting career started at KYMA, in Yuma, back in the 1990's and my path to ABC 15 has been quite an adventure.
After high school graduation I moved to Los Angeles where I hosted two entertainment shows.
That happened while I was still in college.
I am a graduate of Pepperdine University with Bachelor of Arts degree in Telecommunications.
When I moved to Yuma, I learned everything I could about a news operation - producing, writing, reporting, anchoring and the weather. It's also where I won an Associated Press FIRST PLACE award for Investigative Reporting. That award and experience lead to jobs at KEYT (ABC) Santa Barbara, XETV (FOX) San Diego, and now ABC15 here in Phoenix.
Since my return to Arizona, the opportunity to cover hurricane Ivan was life changing. Our team rode the eye-wall of the category 3 storm in Pensacola, Florida, where the dirtiest or shall I say most dangerous part of Ivan made landfall. Words could never describe the emotions we all felt... watching people, just like you and me lose everything in one night... people we hunkered down with, inside a warehouse for more than 16 hours, windows being blown out every 15 minutes. It's a story that earned an Emmy nomination for Live Field Reporting. Mostly recently, I won an Emmy Award for hosting ABC-15's daily magazine show Sonoran Living Live. It's a show I won an Emmy for, for Co-Hosting, back in 2006. That same year, I was awared an Emmy for Breaking News Coverage of a rare weather event here in Phoenix: Snow!
I was also voted Best Weather Anchor by the Associated Press in 2006.
In addition to anchoring weather for ABC15 Daybreak, I work with our Sports Department. In the fall of 2003 I co-hosted the sports magazine show "EmmittZone" with former Dallas Cowboy /Arizona Cardinal running back Emmitt Smith… who is also the distinguished WINNER of ABC's DANCING WITH THE STARS. That same year I co-hosted the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Special and coverage The FBR open. I've also had the honor of reporting from the Academy Awards on the RED CARPET. This year, I stood next to Joan and Melissa Rivers (talk about interesting!) I contribute regularly to the Abrams & Bettis show on THE WEATHER CHANNEL and Since August of 2005, I've filled-in for Marysol Castro in TIMES SQUARE on Good Morning America Weekend Edition.
I still can't believe I call this a job!
Some things you may not know about me include...
I run starts and wind-sprints almost everyday--even when it's too hot outside (I’m addicted).
I like riding my beach cruiser early Saturday mornings.
On My IPOD you'll find all kinds of music...Dave Matthews Band, Bob Segar, Prince, 50-Cent, Metallica, Ne-Yo, Rihanna, The Fray, Chris Daughtry, Natasha Bedingfield, Linkin Park, Nine Inch Nails, Motley Crue, Nelly Furtado, and Tori Amos.
I love going to the movies as long as we can order HOT Popcorn with M&M's... Yum!
I also enjoy cooking, reading, interior design and learning more about my Native American roots. I am a proud member of the Native American Journalists Association.
Throughout the year, I visit schools across the Valley with WOW in tow. WOW - or Weather on Wheels - is in interactive educational weather experience inside a 24-foot mobile motion simulator.

She is a familiar face around Arizona. Her career in television began in Flagstaff.
Jenn worked in nearly every aspect of the business from behind the camera to in front of it as a morning anchor and reporter.
Some of her fondest moments of working in the High Country include covering forest fires, participating in a 24-hour ride-along with the Flagstaff Fire Department, and of course, traipsing around the Arizona Snowbowl to cover any snow story possible.
After her time in Flagstaff, Jenn didn't have to move very far when she got the call to be a morning show host and noon anchor at KSAZ-TV in Phoenix.
During her time there, Jenn had the opportunity to dance with the Phoenix Suns Dancers, cover the American Idol Finale in Los Angeles and interview countless celebrities.
Though many people know Jenn as a newsperson, her first love is weather. She says that stems from her childhood, spent in the Canadian Midwest, specifically Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
"I remember being fascinated with the tornados and severe weather we'd get every summer - the way the sky would turn a sickly green and the wind would just howl! On the flip side, in the winter, I was usually the first one to run out and play in the 4-foot snowdrifts. I've also always had an interest in science, ever since I was a little girl."
Now, as co-anchor of ABC15 Daybreak, Jenn will be keeping her focus on news and current events, but she won't rule out anything having to do with Dancing with the Stars. "I did ballet for 17 years, and I just love that show!"
Originally from Seattle, Jenn has called Arizona home for the last 10 years.
"I fell in love with the Arizona sky. It has so many different moods at various times of year. Plus, the people here have welcomed me with open arms. I feel like I have my Arizona family, and then my biological family, whom I love very much, back in Seattle."
Jenn is a graduate of Northern Arizona University.
When she isn't at work, Jenn enjoys anything having to do with exploring the outdoors.
"I grew up in a family who loved to camp and hike. I tend to be a bit of an adrenaline junkie. I love a good heart-pounding adventure - from hiking in the backcountry to learning how to paraglide. You name it, I'll try it! Life is so precious and short, why not give it all you've got?! Then again, the occasional night relaxing at home isn't bad, either."

Like most people, the first thing you think of when you see Tamron Hall of MSNBC is that she is a Halle Berry clone. In many ways they are similar. Her hair, eyes, lips, skin, all very similar to that of Halle. And like Halle, I think Tamron hall is incredibly hot. She was outed a little while ago by some Chicago people that she had a boob job, probably just jealous that Tamron went national.
When you think of hot female french news anchors, you usually think of Melissa Theuriau. But there are other hotties in France including Marie Drucker. What's really hot about Marie is her boyfriend was France's Interior Minister. There was a papparazzi thing that broke the story and apparently she was forced to leave her station, France 3, for a while during the elections. It's not entirely clear but I think she is now back doing the evening news for France 3.
