Vote For The Hottest News Babe in Seattle

The emerald city, the rainy city, sleepless in Seattle, all that stuff. The Pacific Northwest has been blessed by some real hot anchors. We get all the major Seattle networks here in Vancouver so I see many of the hot news babes all the time. I'll admit, my vote goes to Lisa Gangel, ever since she started at KING5, I always try to catch her on the weekends. I also used to catch Rebecca Stevenson but now that she is off the air, I miss her (she is rumored to be starting at KIRO in April). If you don't see your favorite hottie Seattle news babe, feel free to email me at anchorbabes@gmail.com so I can add it.

Jennifer came to Seattle in January 2007 from Denver, where she worked as a reporter and backup anchor for KCNC-TV. During her time there, her breaking-news coverage of the murder of a Denver police officer helped the station win an Emmy Award for "Best Newscast". She also regularly appeared on the "CBS Early Show," The Weather Channel, and on CBS Radio, reporting on Colorado's blizzards.

Before moving to Denver, Jennifer worked as an anchor and reporter in Madison, Wisconsin, and Cheyenne, Wyoming, where she received awards including Best Anchor, Best Newscast, and Community Hero.

Jennifer has covered major stories across the country including the Bailey High School shooting, the bizarre case of onetime JonBenet Ramsey suspect John Mark Karr, and the faked kidnapping of Audrey Seiler. Still, Jennifer's favorite stories are about regular people doing something for their community. One of her most well-received stories here at Q13 FOX News, so far, has been her report on the "living memorial" for Julie Becker, an Eastside woman who gathered family and friends together for a celebration before losing her fight with cancer, rather than waiting to have them gather for a memorial after she was gone.

Jennifer loves the outdoors, and is enjoying discovering all Western Washington has to offer. In her spare time, she likes to ski, hike, bike, and go camping with her husband.

Rebecca Stevenson (Soon to be KIRO)

But, the move to the Northwest in 1992 brought the best weather experience. Fog, sun breaks, mountain snow and sunny summers all allow a thousand activities to do outside and she says forecasting them is even more enjoyable.

Erica Hill, the Hottest Bookworm Babe on TV

Overall Hotness: 8/10
Face: 8/10
Body: 7.5/10
Legs: 7.5/10
Personality: 9/10

If there was a definition of cute, Erica Hill would probably be in it. I love watching and listening to her because she's smart in a really sexy way. I used to work in the high-tech industry so I used to watch TechTV a lot during the dot-com days and I remember watching Erica and thinking, wow, she's one cool chick. You can find her these days daily on Headline News primetime on her regular spot, as well as her daily cameos on AC360 where she is very funny, very flirtatious with Anderson Cooper.

Hands down, the best part of Erica is her personality. She's smart as a button and she reminds you of that hot chick in your computer science class. You know, the one of three chicks out of 200 geeky guys. Erica isn't drop-dead gorgeous, but her smarts and cuteness make up for any pitfalls in her appearance. She's like the ideal girlfriend that you could actually take to meet the folks and they would say, "wow, she's so smart and funny, and she's sooo pretty too." Ya, whatever ma.

Erica's face and body are decent, I love to watch her in glasses. The dark rim frames are a real turn-on. Also, I love watching Erica and Anderson, they have big time chemistry. If Erica wasn't married, I would say she and Anderson should hook up, that would be one hot couple. Imagine the kids they would have.

Erica has a blog that she emails to her viewers. You can sign up here. This is her bio from the CNN website:

Erica Hill is a news anchor for Headline News and hosts the network's Prime News with Erica Hill. Hill also provides news updates for Anderson Cooper 360° on CNN/U.S. and the "Straight to Hill" segment on Glenn Beck on Headline News.

Based in CNN's world headquarters in Atlanta, Hill joined the network in January 2003.

Among other stories, Hill reported from Mississippi as part of CNN's coverage of Hurricane Katrina. She also anchored coverage of the war in Iraq, including the discovery of American contractor Thomas Hamill after he escaped his captors there and the Northeast U.S. blackout in 2003. She has also served as a national correspondent for CNN Newsource in the Washington, D.C., bureau.

Hill joined the network from Tech TV in San Francisco, where she was co-anchor and correspondent for Tech Live, a 30-minute daily news magazine. Hill was on the air live when the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks began and anchored throughout the day and as events continued to unfold.

Additionally, Hill was a reporter for Tech TV News where she covered a wide variety of technology stories. She also anchored and co-produced specials on a number of topics including the debate surrounding embryonic stem cell research, the technology behind the 2002 Winter Olympics and the 2001 Oscars.

Hill began her journalism career at PC Week where she was a production assistant for PC Week Radio, the online news radio station for the magazine. She was also a conference coordinator for the Software Publishers Association Europe in Paris.

Hill earned her bachelor’s degree in journalism, graduating summa cum laude from Boston University.

This clip is from the CNN website in which Erica Hill opens up about how she got started, what she likes to do for fun and her favorite soup recipe. Definitely shows off her cool personality,


These are 2 funny clips with the playful Erica and Anderson doing a little smalltalk and looking very hot.



There are so many nice pics of Erica, so here are just a sample of them (I absolutely love Erica in glasses).

Laurie Dhue Shows Off those Fantastic Legs

Mmmmm, yummy.... One of the reasons to watch Laurie Dhue is to watch her damn fine sexy legs and choice of footwear. These screen caps were from yesterday I believe, she is not afraid to show them damn fine sexy legs with those tight leather boots. Not a big fan of her face, but who's looking up there anyways...

Catfight at FOX, Courtney Friel Steals the Spotlight

There is a posting on TVNewser about a rumor that at least some of the ladies on FOX are getting all worked up over the increased airtime that the Barbie lookalike Courtney Friel has been getting lately. Definitely some "hot girl envy" going on at FOX. But I guess you have to expect that when you hire all the hottest news babes to read your news. Now, the picture that comes to my mind is the mildly hot Gretchen Carlson, pulling the hair of Courtney Friel, while Alisyn Camerota is jumping on top of both. There's nothing that drives men hornier than a catfight between hot babes. As explained on Seinfeld, it's the possibility in between all the scratching and clawing that something sexual might happen between the women. Oooohhh, aahhhhh, catfight!!

E.D. Hill Exposes her Garter and Stockings

I used to think E.D. Hill was really hot, but of course she's much older now so not so much. She's still hot, but in a GILF sort of way. I'm not sure if she was doing this on purpose but E.D. has exposed her stockings and garter for the world to see. There was a woman in the office I used to work at that would wear short skirts with stockings and whenever we'd have meetings, I would sit beside her and her stockings would show. I think she was doing it on purpose, it made a lot of men in the office horny as heck.

Allison Payne is the co-anchor of WGN News at Nine in Chicago, a position she's held since she started with the station in 1990. During her tenure with WGN, Payne has won numerous awards including seven emmys for reporting. When asked about the hilights of her career Payne always points to the international reporting she's done. Payne was the first Chicago broadcaster to travel to Kenya to report on the African roots of Senator Barack Obama. In 2006, she travelled to the Middle East with the Reverend Jesse Jackson to report on tensions between Lebanon, Israel, and Syria. Payne paid her own fare for these journies because she believes strongly that "getting from behind the desk and out into the world" makes her a better anchor. "To me travel is the best education," says Payne. "I feel much better reading stories on Africa and the Middle East now that I have been there."

Payne was born in Richmond, Virginia to Dana and Kathryn Payne. At age five, her parents moved north to Detroit, Michigan where Payne attended Catholic grade school. She is a graduate of Renaissance High School in Detroit and holds a B.A. in Liberal Arts from the University of Detroit Mercy. Payne attended Bowling Green State University in Ohio for her Masters Degree in Radio/TV/Film.

Payne's first job in tv news was at WNWO TV in Toledo, Ohio where she started as an intern and within months was the main anchor of the station's late news. From there Payne moved to WNEM-TV in Saginaw, Michigan as the co-anchor of the 6 and 11 o'clock newscast. Within two years, Payne got word that Chicago was calling.

"Growing up in Detroit, I knew Chicago was the mecca of the Midwest. I couldn't believe WGN was interested in me. I was so young and still so inexperienced." But without even a tryout, then news director, Paul Davis, offered Payne the job. "I figured if I lasted three months here I would consider myself a success. And here I am seventeen years later!" Payne says she couldn't have done it without her professionally unselfish and supportive co-anchor, Steve Sanders. "He's a real delight and a true Southern gentleman."

Payne also credits Gloria Brown, producer of the station's weekly community affairs program, People to People. ""Gloria has been a rock for me at 'GN. Whenever I get tired, Gloria is there to inspire me." Payne credits Brown for helping her land an interview with former president Bill Clinton on his last trip to Chicago as president. Together, Payne and Brown have covered several special events including the funeral of Coretta Scott King in Atlanta.

Payne's goal now is to reach back and help as many young people as she can achieve their goals. "I love working with interns. They become like my own kids to me." Payne recently teamed up with Jaqueline Jackson, Jr on a state program that helps teenage parents get their GED. This is where the blessing is for me. If I can help or inspire just one of these young people, I will feel blessed.

Robin Meade, again in Sexy Leather Boots

Robin Meade was looking especially hot today, especially in her shiny black knee-high leather stilletos.

One of the hotter anchors on MSNBC is Contessa Brewer. First off, I love her name, Contessa, that's just an extremely sexy name, her parents did good with that one. It's one of those names where if someone introduced their wife as "Contessa", you'd immediately have a visual of a hot babe, then you actually see her and you are floored. I like the way she talks too, the Wisconsin/Chicago accent is really cool. A friend of mine is from Wisconsin and he talks the same way.

As for Contessa's visuals, she is very hot overall. She has a pretty face that doesn't require makeup to make her look hot. In a way, she's sort of looks like Courtney Cox. The only thing I don't like about her face is that it's kind of boxy, round is better. Her body isn't great, but good overall, very slim and tight. She doesn't show off her legs much but when she does, they look good, she appears to be pretty tall.

One of the best things I like about Contessa is her personality. Whenever I see her on MSNBC she's always punchy and intelligent. She's feisty and isn't afraid of the more controversial topics. She definitely doesn't appear diva-like and could have an intelligent conversation with. As far as the whole Don Imus feud she had going on, I don't know who Don was talking about, but Contessa is definitely not "fat".

This is her bio from the MSNBC website:

This is a funny clip with Contessa caught in an awkward teleprompt where she doesn't want to read "I'm not gay",


Here are some nice pics of Contessa, the last one is an informal one where she was at a charity event,
