November 18, 2008Maxim Magazine has named the 10 hottest national TV news anchors (plus Mika Brzezinski for some reason).
The hottest is NBC unknown Amy Robach. Number Two: Megyn Kelly of FOX News. The only rational explanation for this grievous error is shock value.
Other notables on the list include FOX Business Channel’s Jenna Lee and FOX News Channel’s Julie Banderas.
Then there’s Mika. Yikes.
Tonight’s episode of TruTV’s (the channel formerly known as Court TV) Forensic Files focuses on the case of Rachel Siani, the Bucks County stripper who was murdered and thrown from the bridge connecting the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Turnpikes in March of 2000.

FOX News boss Roger Ailes, under reported pressure from the top of News Corp, has issued an order gagging Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and Greta Van Susteren on Barack Obama criticism.
No such edict preventing Carl Cameron from trashing Sarah Palin with anonymous smears, apparently.
The US Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement is investigating the origin of items displayed by renowned home wrecker, former swimsuit model, and CBS “journalist” Lara Logan.
Logan claims to have looted the “souvenirs” from bombed areas in Baghdad, which if true would be a violation of a US provision meant to “protect Iraqi heritage.”
President Bush will deliver a televised address to the nation tonight concerning the credit crisis and proposed government bail out, likely screwing up everyone’s planned recordings of Criminal Minds and CSI: New York’s season premieres.
The address also threatens to derail David Blaine’s live magic show and the gulliable idiots who plan to watch it believing a man can possess magical abilities, viewers also known as Obama voters.
Unemployed former CBS KYW-TV Philadelphia anchor Larry Mendte has pleaded guilty to one federal charge of illegal computer access, a charge that could land the disgraced newsman in prison for 5 years. It’s unlikely that Mendte will serve that much, if any, time on the charge.
The charge surrounds Mendte’s now-admitted access of former on-air partner Alycia Lane’s 3 personal email accounts over a nearly two-year period between May 2006 and March 2008. Lane was the subject of numerous personal information leaks during that time.
Radar Online has published a pretty equal-opportunity attack on the television pundits who are most hated by the insiders who have to work with them. A lot of names on the list are those you would expect (namely Bill O’Reilly, whose incredible and quite vulgar Inside Edition era flip-out and its various musical remixes are the stuff of YouTube legend). Other well-known tools profiled are Olbermann and Matthews.
Sources close to negotiations between FOX News and Special Report anchor Brit Hume tell TV Decoder that the venerable newsman will step down from the show after November’s election.
