Hot Newsbabe: CNN's Erica Hill. Yowsa!

[Stevendsmith]

[Gold Metal Flake]

1. They should send her back to the factory and tweak the symmetry.

Does she tell the truth?

[Stevendsmith]

2. Well, she's on Headline News, which isn't quite as much hackery

but, yeah, she's a corporate shill. But she's a sexy shill.

[Gold Metal Flake]

5. Better symmetry in that pix.

Yowza, to be sure.

I said yowza about Darin when I first saw her. But now, when I see a new pretty face on the corporacratic news, I have a nervous reaction. The bad guys always aimed pretty spies at Bond. (Um, lame metaphor, but you know what I mean)

She must prove herself worthy.

:grr:

[WCGreen]

24. She looks a little like Rachel Ray

[GrpCaptMandrake]

43. I thought the same thing!

Kinda ruined her for me. I started hearing that obnoxious, irritating nasally voice squawking "E-V-O-O, y'know, Extra Virgin Olive Oil. How cool is that?"

Ack!

[PaganPreacher]

76. Looks like Rachael Ray's sister in that pic!

And that's a good thing......

:9:thumbsup:

The Pagan Preacher
I don't turn the other cheek.

[CanuckAmok]

3. Sorry, but she's no Melissa Theuriau...

http://www.collegehumor.com/movies/1607981/

[Stevendsmith]

7. Wow. She is hot! (n/t)

[JVS]

13. Hubba hubba!

[grateful581]

19. Wow, now thats a sexy woman!

[Blue-Jay]

28. !

:)

[reichstag911]

29. OMFG!!!

The cleavage in the first pic! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
Is she French or Quebecois?
:9:wow::crazy:

[Blue-Jay]

30. Canadians don't look like that.

jeez, n00b.

[CanuckAmok]

33. French, as in Parisian.

She is, hands-down, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.

[Roland99]

54. End of thread right there!

:D

[Moochy]

57. Oooh La La!!

http://www.teamgsb.com/melissa.htm

[LostInAnomie]

71. Yeah, you win.

I was gonna say Betty Nguyen
but she looks like dog shit compared to that goddess.

[CatholicEdHead]

4. She was good on TechTV but she knows where her bread

is buttered now.

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. Plasticine newsbot

Like almost all the rest of 'em. :puke:

[Stevendsmith]

8. Okay, so who do you find to be scorchin' hot?

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. Of the network teevee newsies?

Only one who comes to mind is Melissa McDermott of CBS "Up to the Minute," the early-early morning newscast. I dunno why she stands out, though, since she really looks pretty much like the rest of 'em. Maybe it's her big, bright eyes.

Plus, I adore the name Melissa. :7

Her hair's longer and styled more naturally than this now.

[Stevendsmith]

10. Dude, I think you have a mommy complex. (It's okay, though)

I've been accused of the same thing.

But Melissa McDermott is definitely "mommy-esque."

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. She's not a young'un, if that's what you mean

Neither am I, and I think that's a big part of it.

The 28-year-old twinkie clones from broadcast school make me :puke:

[Stevendsmith]

12. It's not so much the age; she just looks maternal. Soccer mom.

Not necessarilly a bad thing.

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. Mmm... yeah, I guess

When I watch "Up to the Minute," I do sorta get the feeling she's telling me the news, not just reading it. And her voice has a bit of an "It's good for you" quality. :7

Mostly, though, I think she has a great smile. Reminds me of a blonde LaraMN. :thumbsup:

[ScreamingMeemie]

70. From this 35 year old "soccer mom":

Thank You. :hug:

[JVS]

14. Margarita Simoyan

Also bearing the last name Simoyan is Armenian journalist Karine Simoyan

[Indy_Dem_Defender]

16. The second looks like an

Elf!

[JVS]

17. Mmmm sexy elf!

[Gold Metal Flake]

23. Get down with your bad sexy elf!

[CanuckAmok]

26. I wanna thank you falettin me be mice elf again.

n/t

[Gold Metal Flake]

44. Nicely done!

:D

[CanuckAmok]

63. Wow, I didn't know Philip Seymour Hoffman was in the Family Stone!

Who would have expected that?!

[Gold Metal Flake]

66. Snarf!

:rofl:

The dude is versatile!

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

15. um, ew.

nt

[Stevendsmith]

18. Almost showered my monitor. (n/t)

[Cush]

20. I remember her from TechTV

........before it went evil and merged with G4

[Strong Atheist]

21. Nice! nt.

[EstimatedProphet]

25. You are all watching the wrong channel

Stephanie Abrams

[Blue-Jay]

45. Whoever is advising her on how to dress for a newscast

SHOULD GET A BIG FUCKING RAISE!


whoa!

[Fox Mulder]

27. Yeah.

:wow:

[taught_me_patience]

31. I'd hit it

[I Have A Dream]

36. You know, it's one thing to say that you find the person atractive...

and express appreciation here, but it's another to say "I'd hit it". That phrase is extremely offensive and, in my opinion, does not belong here. It totally, utterly objectifies and belittles women.

:grr::nuke::grr:

[mitchum]

37. But does not expressing an appreciation of a woman's appearance...

also qualify as objectification?
I'm not trying to be a jerk, just consistent.

[I Have A Dream]

41. Yes, I agree. However, I try not to be overly-sensitive when this...

type of thread is posted. Come on though, there's a difference between expressing appreciation for someone's beauty or attractiveness and saying "I'd hit it". Don't you agree?

By the way, I'm not saying that people who do object to this type of thread are being overly-sensitive. I'm just saying that I try to just let it go. However, "I'd hit it" crosses the line of being misogynistic by quite a bit, in my opinion. In fact, I think that it would be hard to come up with a more offensive phrase.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

46. I think it's more of a compliment.

:hide:

[JVS]

47. I think saying "I would not be averse to having sexual relations with her"

delivered in an imitation of the speaking style of Richard Nixon is the only polite way to express such views

[mitchum]

49. Ah, but if you're doing it in Nixon's speaking style, the word would be...

"fornicating"
David Frost was taken aback when Nixon asked him, "Well, David did you do any fornicating this weekend?"
That Nixon, he did have the common touch, didn't he? :)

[JVS]

50. Oops, I forgot "sexual relations" is sooo 90's

"I would not be averse to fornicating with her"

[XemaSab]

59. IMHO, hiring young, busty girls instead of real journalists

totally, utterly objectifies and belittles women.

[I Have A Dream]

60. I agree. It's a different issue from what I'm complaining about...

but I wholeheartedly agree with you, XemaSab.

I don't know about these particular women -- maybe they're really good at what they do. However, if they were hired because of their looks, then it is as you say.

I still don't like the phrase. It makes me want to throw up.

[XemaSab]

65. On one level I agree

but on another level I don't. I don't think we'll ever "evolve" to the point where women and men aren't treated as sex objects, but that doesn't mean that people in the news should be hired in order to be sex objects.

[Hello_Kitty]

74. Women are treated that way FAR more often than men

I don't see the cable news networks hiring a passel of young Brad Pitts to fulfill MY visual desures. Otherwise I'd agree with you that it's equal-opportunity objectification.

[Roland99]

55. But would you hit it and quit it?

;)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

32. Can't forget Rudi Bhakhtiar.

[datasuspect]

34. she's alright, but she is no Jackie Bangme

oops, Bange

[CanuckAmok]

35. Of course, this whole thread is about teases.

Now these newscasters deliver the goods.

http://www.nakednews.com

By the way, I think Naked News is the most brilliant comment on the human psyche in postmodern society. I hope someone does a serious deconstruction of it, one day.

[mitchum]

38. Agree with you,,, Naked News just dispenses with the coy bullshit...

and delivers the real goods. While underscoring the only reason that the "legitimate" bimbo news readers have their jobs.

[Floogeldy]

39. View this and weep!

[CatholicEdHead]

53. She was also Faux News' old Middle East "reporter"

[Floogeldy]

68. Yea

Then I later saw her on several networks reporting from Iraq and wondered if she wasn't an Indy jumping around to different networks.

[The Sushi Bandit]

40. hottest news anchor, Lauren Sanchez !!!

Newscasters just aren’t supposed to be this hot. At least that’s what pops into my head every time I see Lauren Sanchez reporting on L.A.’s UPN 13 News. It’s downright distracting. How’s a man supposed to pay attention to what’s going on in the world when the news anchor looks like she belongs on the Big Screen or—better yet—the Victoria’s Secret catalog. But make no mistake about it: Lauren is more than just a pretty face. Needless to say she is blessed with incredible looks, but she also possesses the kind of intelligence and ambition that it takes to become a news anchor.

If there’s one word that captures Lauren’s spirit it’s hustle. Everything about her screams hustle; from the way she moves to her favorite sport (running). Even the way she got her start as a journalist is testament to this. She got her foot in the door at UPN 13 as an intern, but soon moved way up the ranks.

Lauren certainly has a future as a newsperson if she wants it, but you have to wonder, how long can the news world contain her? How long before someone plucks her away from her news job to give her a shot at her own show or a movie? How long before everyone starts catching on to the fact that newscasters just aren’t supposed to be this hot.

[IronLionZion]

64. oh baby!

ahhhh!

After watching her newscast, you won't know what's what.

[JI7]

42. isn't she an expert on computer technology ?

and that's what she mostly reported on before CNN and on headline news.

but i see she got a bigger role on CNN's main channel. does anyone know if she is a whore like Rush's wife or Miles O'Brien or almost any of the rest on there?

[Call Me Wesley]

48. Bah.

Models and a teleprompter.






















:hide:

[mitchum]

52. Shhh, people don't want to hear the truth...

but I guess a point in their favor (other than genetics) is that they can read

[Deja Q]

51. She's got more make-up than Maxx Factor and Prince combined.

Well, the thing formerly known AS Prince...

If you know how to pronounce " ", please let me know... :D

[Straight Shooter]

62. That symbol is pronounced "fish-hawnkh"

It is a combination of a fish hook and the Ankh. Some people pronounce it "fish-cor" because they think it's a combination of a fish hook and an anchor. I prefer "fish-hawnkh"

Always glad to assist a fellow DU'er on pronunciations. :P

[graywarrior]

56. I sorta dig Maria's look.

[William Bloode]

58. Robin, oh Robin i love you.

I have a crush on Robin Meade. I watch her every morning. She seems smart yet silly, and i actually heard her make a joke about gas on air lol! Like i said she comes off as silly and fun loving, besides being hot!

I love you Robin....:loveya:

[last_texas_dem]

67. Cool, another Robin fan

Yeah, I know I know nothing about her politics or journalistic skills, but I like the way she reads the news. haha I like her on-air personality and she's great-looking; what else better is there to do at 5 AM than to watch her on Headline News? (Well, besides sleep...)

[William Bloode]

73. Yeah i know nothing.......

Of her politics, or journalistic skills either. She just has a way that catches me. I think it's her silly humor, and seemingly easy going nature. She may be a real bitch on wheels in real life, but she sure get me going in the mornings.

[SKKY]

61. Yea, Erica Hill is spanky-toy hot.

[richmwill]

69. Sorry to say it, but- Laurie Dhue

...is DAMN hot.

[Floogeldy]

72. I'm sorry you said that, . . .

. . . too.

[mwooldri]

75. Well we've come a long way since this:

Nan Winton: the BBC Television Service's first female newsreader. Doesn't read the news anymore.

Then news got diverse in the UK. We had:



Moira Stuart.

ITV got Trevor instead. He got knighted, whereas Moira has presented every darned news programme going on BBC TV and hasn't got a Dame by her name. Not fair IMO.



Then of course we're getting more sexy as we get into the 21st century.

But then I kinda like Ulrikakakakakakaka...



Ulrika Jonsson started her UK TV career doing the weather on TV-AM (the UK commercial breakfast TV channel).

And then there's http://www.nakednews.com">Naked News if you want to see more than just the headlines. Note of caution; following this link will lead to nudity after more than one click.

77. How about Naked News?
