Just a break from the serious debates and all...This morning I was thinkin bout how many good lookin women are on the news. Without getting into a debate about sexism, plastic surgery or anything else serious...who would you rank in your top 5 news babes (best lookin)...and do you have a "worst babes" list as well? feel free to share, here's mine...

hottest:
1) Monica Crowley- MSNBC et al...

the ex-nixon assistant (post presidency) and conservative pundit may infuriate me sometimes with her views, but damn, those eyes!

2) Daryn Kagan-CNN

just a girl next door reading the news. field reporters often flirt with her, it's kinda funny.

3) Heidi Collins-CNN

The cutest redhead on the air, period.

4) Christine Jansen-MSNBC

like daryn, a girl next door type that i just think is plain beautiful.

5) Norah O'Donnell-NBC

one beautiful irish gal.

nottest:

1) Rita Cosby-MSNBC

beyond her obesity, the most obnoxious voice in media. everytime i hear that voice, i want to jump thru the screen and give her a heimlich or throat surgery.

2) Nancy Grace-CNN Headline

her annoying ways and recent weight gains are only the beginning. the only southern gal who has a voice that drives me up a wall.

3) Christiane Amanpour-CNN

despite an exotic name, the kind of girl ya expect Austin Powers to run up and declare "it's a man, baby!"

4) Linda Vesper-FNC

has that crosseyed thing goin on, like the one girl from the Dixie Chicks

5) Suzi Kolber-ESPN

not really cute, not really ugly, and like rita, sounds like she got something in her throat constantly.

honorable mention:

1) E.D. Hill-FNC

i remember her back when she was on channel 11 in pittsburgh when i was younger. The "MILF" of FNC. not a spring chicken anymore, but has held it together well thru the years.

2 ) Soladad O' Brien

keeps getting knocked up, then comes back looking as good as ever. just a cutie all round

3) some blond who does headline updates on FNC

i don't have the gal's name offhand, but she's one of the girls who does the 1/2 hour updates. blond, great blue eyes and always dressed to kill (from what i can see, lol). if i see here on the air, i'll update this.

so, what are yours? and remember, this is about fun, not political correctness. and gals (or gay guys) can feel free to list their favorite guys if they prefer. i am just not too qualified in that department.

enjoy!

You left out one very seriously gorgeous girl BUT she is on CNN International. That is Zane Verjee. She makes my knees tremble and if my wife reads
this she will make more than my knees react!

I would make a competing list of best and worst news studs but none of them do anything for me. Oh I guess I do think Chris Cuomo on GMA is kind of cute.

hehe - what you wrote about Christine Amanpour cracked me up

"despite an exotic name, the kind of girl ya expect Austin Powers to run up and declare "it's a man, baby!"

Maria Bartiromo.
Robin Meade.


There's a lot more. Europe has us beaten in terms of news anchor hottness. The BBC and SkyNews have some seriously fine reporters.

There's one in particular that I've never been able to track down. Gotta go work, but if I find it later I'll post it.

You should have posted pics. I know some of these ladies, but not all of them.

I definitely agree about Rita Cosby's voice. Terrible. Who thought it was a good idea to inflict THAT on American viewers?

I think Dan Abrahms is freakin' smokin' hot.



Once I saw him all scruffy with a baseball cap on.
