4/6
S.E. Cupp is seriously going for a retro look. It suits her. Ann was wearing a dress that looked to have some serious potential but then they never gave her really any opportunities. That sucked. Megyn continued to show that the only time it's really worth getting a cap of her is when they do that cutaway to her reading.
4/5
Steph back in the studio and back to looking awesome. Becky is out and Michelle Caruso Cabrera is in for her. MCC is about the only other good thing at CNBC left. Jen Carfagno also on the strength for TWC. She can look fine as well but needs more motivation than Steph. NBC is really showing off Tamron. Maybe they are pushing her for some bigger role? I remember when she first joined NBC, she had boasted that she was going to get the Weekend Today show host spot. I though that was BS at the time. But now I wonder if there may be something to that. I guess we'll see, but her increased exposure on Today can't be a coincidence.

Weekend Review
Well, I would say that the weekend was pretty good. Everyone looked the way that they should. Sharyn Alfonsi was on GMA and she showed that it is entirely possible to look good for two days straight. See, Kate? You can look good for two days straight. Three might be pushing it, but two is very possible. One thing I hate about holidays is that they always have to dress up the sets with flowers and shit. Of course they had to plop flowers on the already extremely cluttered table that they use on Fox & Friends. It took a little bit for Alisyn to adjust to the blockage but by Sunday she seemed to have the hang of it. In a bizarre and unexpected turn, Maria Bartiromo was on Sunday Today shilling her new book and actually wore a skirt! Unfortunately she has almost no sex appeal anymore so I couldn't get excited about it.
Shannon Bream was in for Megyn on Friday, the first time that Megyn has been off. I think it's a good choice to use Shannon, of course she's blond! That's the first requirement. And in some cases, the last! I think Fox has every blond newswoman in the country on their radar who's at least under, say, 35. Gerri Willis is a bit of an exception. I don't know how old she is, but she's definitely over 40. But FBN is a bit of a specialist network so experience in the subject field would probably trump outright looks and age, but if you have the right combo in Gerri's case, then why not? Fox can lose a Lauren Sivan and not miss a beat. I mean honestly, did anyone expect that they would? Not sure what someone like Lauren is looking for. I mean you kinda know what you're getting into by joining Fox. Oh well.
The weather finally warmed up enough for Steph to bust the legs out toward the end of the week on their Spring Break.
I found out Rebecca Jarvis has joined CBS as the Saturday newsreader. All I know is that CNBC keeps losing chicks. Either CNBC doesn't care, or the network is just not some place that a girl with any kind of looks should bother considering as a place to work. Rebecca had to sit out a 6 month non-compete before she could start. Boy, that tells you something about how much she wanted to get out of there.
Geraldo being on location tends to put a damper on the leggage. At least they are having Kimbo holding down the fort back home. There was no legs on Saturday but it was pretty good on Sunday with a nice sitdown with the Padre and also some legs from a National Enquirer chick.

Courtney Friel sure is hot but boy is she an utter dunce. I don't know why she is on Redeye other than that she works for Fox and is hot because she adds nothing to the show. You need to be fairly bright and quick witted to hang with the Redeye crew and Courtney totally lacks that. Looks like C/NBC are really to push Melissa Lee as the hot thing on the network. Put her in stark contrast with the former Money Honey Maria Bartiromo who was also on the show. But it's stunning how she has totally given up trying to look reasonable and has been like that for a long time now. Funnily I mentioned how yesterday Robin and Rebecca were both still out and today, voila, they are both back. Chalk it up to week-and-a-half long vacations.

3/30
Susan H. and Becky both in boots, but showing a lot of thigh. Nice sitdown from Kiran. I found Ann's day fascinating. Up until 9 AM she was sitting very demurely and like a proper lady, not showing a lot of leg. In fact one time while they were doing their half hour outro, she had her skirt pulled up past her knee. But then after 9 AM, it was whoa city. She was busting the thighs out and everything. I think Amy was even intimidated by the amount of thigh that Ann was showing. She didn't even try to compete. Joy Philbin showed us the proper way to get into a Mercedes AMG SLS. Plop your butt in and swing your legs around. How to get out is another story. The hot blond FOX doc lady Cynara (?) Coomer was on Happy Hour. Guess they had to make up for losing Jennifer Ashton to CBS.

3/29
Robin still out. This is a long break for her. Wonder what's up. I mean on the Spanish nets it's normal to be out for 2 weeks at a time or more but it's unusual here to go past one week. Anyway, as long as Susan is in I don't mind terribly. Melissa Lee was sporting some serious leg today. See, today is emblematic of my problem with Megyn. She looked to have a decent amount of leg showing, but with the distance of the camera and the side they shoot from and how she crosses her left leg over, you don't end up seeing shit. It's such a shame. If they just pulled in more, and swapped sides, it'd be much better. Speaking of long breaks, Go-go's been out for longer than a week also. Weird. The subs are in for Primer Impacto also. Satcha I expect, but Veronica del Castillo (VdC) is a welcome sight. Also, returning is her rather eclectic and odd fashion sense. She'll look great one day and then wear something completely bizarre and off-the-wall the next.

3/28 Caps
Now, that's more like it from Biana. She does seem a bit more on the chillier side. I think ABC is definitely looking for someone a little more warm and personable. Sharyn or Liz V. might fill the bill better. But who knows. I don't mind the rotation as long as it's not Jujube. I'm a little confused with Julie. They've done away with the standing intros and the sitting half hour intros, so you'd think that she's pretty much given up on looking good down below. However they pull a couple under the desk shots when she's interviewing the sports guy and she looks pretty good still. I wonder when she is due.

3/27
Ainsley was in for Alisyn today. The only thing holding her back is the nose. Biana was on GMA and she was very disappointing. Surprisingly so, as you would think she would want to seize the opportunity. Maybe after she got engaged she thought that she didn't need to dress sexy anymore but that's not the case. In fact, it seems that the ones who dress the hottest are married and have kids. Biana, you gotta learn your lesson. Looks like Laurie Dhue is now a somewhat regular on Geraldo. Funny that they are identifying her as a "journalist". Uh, ok, I guess she has some journalistic skills but usually if you're a journalist, shouldn't you be journalizing for someone? Using people are reporters, or correspondents, or whatever. That's like calling a biologist a scientist. Anyway, I think it's a way of calling her something and they couldn't really come up with a good description of her. But it's nice to see her on. I just wish they were a little more transparent about why she is on now.

3/26
Today was the day for near upskirts I gotta tell you. First, Stephanie Abrams wore one of those button up dress, and the last button was about one inch below her vajayjay. Couple times when her legs separated a bit you could almost see something if you squinted hard enough and tilted your head about two inches to the left. Sanity reigned at HLN and they brought a very svelte looking Susan Hendricks in. I swear it looks like she's a lot skinnier. I think this is the first time I've seen Kiran do a sitdown wearing hose. Always seems that she has been barelegged. I gotta give Natalie a lot of props for having either the balls or the stupidity to get up and ride that dragon in a skirt. That crane cam operator was trying his best to get a shot up her skirt but it was too dark. I don't how the hell she got up and down from that thing. Cap 41 kinda looks like she's riding the Sybian a little bit. See, I told you about the Megyn interview shots. The damn camera needs to pull in tighter. Does anyone care to see the rest of the studio?

3/25
The one model from the Today Show reminds me of Christina Hendricks from Mad Men with the red hair and big tits. 'Course this one looks like a real redhead. I know why I continue to not be too impressed with Megyn. The camera is too far away during the interviews that she does with someone sitting across from her. Also the camera has to shoot at an angle and thus never gets a really good shot. Plus she usually crosses her left leg over. The only time that there is a good shot is when they do that really obvious cutaway to her sitting there reading something when she is interviewing someone on camera. Looks like Rebecca is on vacation this week. Am I the only one who is getting tired of Tracy Byrnes? I mean she's got the big hair, the boobs, and the legs, but she's a makeup job. Her face is really not that good looking, and between her grating New York voice and attitude, it's no wonder she's a single mom of three kids now. I'd much rather see Sandra or Nicole. Hey how about throwing a bone to Jenna? I wonder why she seems to be getting a little bit of the short end of the stick. She filled in for Skinner a couple times but that doesn't really cut it for me, mainly because there's no leg shots. I got caps of the chick from ESPN2's Sportsnation.

3/23
Not a whole lot worth mentioning today. Apparently Robin Meade is out this week. Unlike Bloomberg where if Margaret B. is out, all sorts of hotties fill in for her, HLN seems to want to stick with the exact opposite. Susan Hendricks was in on Monday and that looked like it was boding well, but then they went back to Natasha Curry. God knows why she gets the number substitute spot. I don't think she has a single stitch of clothes that isn't black. Ugh.

3/22
Not a whole lot today because I had a power outage at home apparently and my DVR decided to get all screwy on me. All the scheduled recordings after like 11 got messed up. Every show got shifted ahead one hour so something scheduled for 5 started at 6. No idea why. Also all my series recording got erased. Uh, ok. Well, at least I got Dancing with the Stars and Erin Andrews.

3/21
Sharyn Alfonsi was on GMA today. I like that, rotate her and Vargas. Looks like Fox was re-creating it's weekday format today. They've done that before for big news weekends. I wonder if that really works. I mean do people watch more just because the "regulars" are on? I decided that I would record the Sports Reporters today just out of the blue because I had read that Hannah appears on that show occasionally. Well, I guessed right today. Too bad the lighting and the cameras in the ESPN Zone are horrendous. Finally, Univision, what can I say, simply outrageous.
3/19 & 3/20
Friday: CNN did a mention on how those hideous Ugg's are bad for women's feet. God, how I would love to scald with lava whoever invited those abominations. Anyway, Kiran proceeded to protest that her Ugg's, which she was wearing at the moment, with a complete lack of shame, could not be more uncomfortable than her four-inch heels. Well, Kiran, no one said you had to wear four-inch heels. And if you want to be comfortable, go home. Fox is trying out Dana Perino as a guest host on F&F. She seemed reasonable enough, and it fits with their past track record of finding talent from non-traditional backgrounds. She certainly ticks the box for the one qualification needed to work at Fox, blond hair. Susan Koeppen showed again why she should be seriously considered to fill-in for Maggie when she goes on maternity leave. I would suggest a rotation of Susan and some local talent that they bring in. Betty could shift over to the big chair every other day and they bring the local person in as the newsreader. I don't know how Betty will do in a morning news show role, it's a bit different than being a pure newsreader like she did at CNN. I think she'll be fine, but she may not light the room up in quite the way that the suits are really looking for. Margaret Brennan was in red again and it was the long dress. Looks almost like the same one that Kiran wears. Megyn came back strong today. Maybe she read my post, not! Regardless I still won't go back on my previous day's statement because of the mere fact that she has not been consistent. She needs to be more consistent still.
Saturday: Elizabeth Vargas was in today at GMA. Still looks like they are doing a rotation for the weekend. For my taste, I always prefer a rotation whenever they are looking to replace a long-time host. Gives us a variety to look at. The rest of the day was relatively up to standard except for a big surprise on Geraldo. Laurie Dhue returned from whatever monastery she's been hiding out in for the last couple years. I always found her departure from Fox to be very strange and to be honest I can't recall the specifics. I know she had an ill-fated and ill-advised stint where she was based in the Middle East. I think she was thinking that she would try to see if she could be a "serious" journalist. After that it seemed like she fell out of favor with the bosses. I'm not sure what this appearance was all about. She was on ostensibly to discuss cheating and infidelity what with all the current stories. I'm not sure how she qualifies as some kind of expert in that field. Could this be a toe in the water for an eventual return for Laurie or was this just the beginning of occasional appearances? Either way, she looked good, older for sure, and the HD reveals it more. Oh well, I hope we see more of her.

Stephanie Abrams absolutely smoking hot this morning. She needs to get back to New York soon. Too bad she wears Spanks though. I guess they all do. That's kind of like finding out a Ferrari is actually just a kit car. Looks fine from the outside but once you take the clothes off it's a different story. The trend continues for Robin. Can this be it for the boots? Becky continuing her goodness. Is it me or is age or HD not being very kind to Juliet? Maybe she's always looked this way and we never saw it because her heyday was before HD. Betty's looking like a lock to be the fill-in when the moms go on leave. Wonder who else will join her, and will that Julie Chen ever come back? They still show her in the promos but it's been a while hasn't it? Got my first leg shots of Gerri Willis on during the noon-time FBN show. She was definitely meant to be a Fox girl. In response it looks like CNBC is trying to make Melissa Lee's hair even bigger than it has been. Wonder what's up with that. CNBC made no effort to court Gerri. They continue to ride their old broken-down battlewagons like Maria and Big Sue Herrera. I am becoming really disappointed in Megyn. Today she wore a particularly long dress. I'm not going to say that I'm totally convinced that she's gone over to the dark side, but she's definitely not the same as she was before. She's lost something for sure. That absolute need to bring it every day, which is surprising because you'd think that she, of all the Fox girls, would understand that ethos more than anyone. Maybe she's feeling the pressure of being the so-called Chosen One, the Face. We'll see, I hope this is an aberration. At least she hasn't worn pants yet, at least I don't remember that she did.

Bust out the green, it's St. Paddy's Day. Time for all the Irish jokes and picking for any connection to Ireland however tenuous. Hey I get into SPD as well and I'm about as Irish as I am black, which is not one bit. Robin Meade seemed to pick today to stop wearing boots. I hope it holds. But like I mentioned before, this is also a weird time where you have women who never wear boots wearing boots. Margaret Brennan did that and with her being a proper Irish lass, I don't know why she did it. Nice to see the Golf Channel's own Irish lass, Win McMurry, looking quite good as well.
3/16
Wow, Kiran actually got a sitdown for once. Becky Quick was impressing in the chairs. Man, Maggie's thighs are huge. They were big before but now being pregnant they're monstrous. They've been moving Juliet around as a roving off-the-bench person. Is it me, or are her boobs a lot bigger? My girl Aditi was again impressing. Though, she has to ditch the dark hose. Finally Kristen Stewart highlighted Fallon. She might as well have been naked as that dress hid nothing from the imagination.

Wow, that didn't take long.
Gerri Willis has been signed to Fox Business, and she starts today I guess! Here is the article: http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/revolving_door/cnns_gerri_willis_signs_with_fox_business_155111.asp?c=rss
I haven't seen her yet, but a primetime weekend show? Who the hell is watching then? Doesn't sound too auspicious but I love Ailes's line: “Most of the CNN talent have been restrained from showing what they can do — we’re looking forward to providing Gerri with a platform at Fox Business to showcase her financial acumen and television expertise.” Wow, you can totally read between the lines there. Ailes saw her blond hair and said, "Snap her up!" I am looking forward to some good use of Gerri.

Ainsley in for Alisyn. Geez, what the hell does she do the rest of the time? Sharyn Alfonsi impressing on GMA when I didn't expect it. She's kinda like Norah O'Donnell with the really big toothy smile. Kimberly was back to being hot this weekend.
