She's probably the only combo consumer reporter and meteorologist too.
But back to the topic at hand: Is it wrong to compliment and admire a pretty female TV talent? I don't think so. I think just because you're hot doesn't necessarily mean your a dimbulb. Case in point, Carolyn Johnson and Ann Notarangelo.
Let's not leave out Christina Loren.
These all all capable, smart, intelligent, attractive BayArea TV personalities who are women journalists and I appreciate their work and approve of this message.

Julie has been under the radar for a while...I knew she had it,but took some time to post about her. She's not on air much. She seems more power blond anchor type then reporter..but not my call-lol.
ReplyDeleteI was admiring the young Indian woman Janu Arasu on ch 4 weekend weather..she's lost a lot of weight..very narrow waist. Sorry that she gets clubbed on the internet. I like her.
Christina?..no pretense she doesn't know what butters her bread,pays the bills,keeps her top girl. She had on a micro so short the other day,even the camera HAD to show leg. And what great legs they are.
On the internet they have your column Rich from June of last year of "rated underrated,overrated" Some changes since then..might be fun to try again or revisit the topic.
I give a nod to Marla Tallez on KNTV...but, TV still avoids the smoking hot and curvy Telemundo types.. The first GM to hire that on English TV gets a Pulitzer.
DeleteI agree! I like Janu! She's SMOKIN!!!
DeleteBoth gals in the above pics are smokin hot!
ReplyDeleteIntelligent women blessed by God!!!
ReplyDeleteYa, I would tap that...
ReplyDeleteRich, glad you noticed Julie, Ive been attracted to her ever since her KCRA days and she was doing weather then and did a great job to boot!
ReplyDeleteYes, let's not forget Christina Loren ....
ReplyDeletehttp://www.turnto23.com/news/9022134/detail.html
It's a shame people have to judge women TV anchors based on their
ReplyDelete'hotness.' How about if someone is actually a true journalist, has some skills and journalistic integrity and is not just 'eye candy?' I guess that's expecting too much to ask from today's sexually repressed American male who needs to grow up!
Take comfort in the fact these childish men aren't all gay. If Rich starts talking about his "guns" I'm outta here.
DeleteOtherwise enjoy Edie Lambert on KCRA, Sacramento. A warm unpretentious woman with a compelling smile. I'll take her any day over the Bay Area glamour girls.
"A smile is a curve that sets everything straight" - Phyllis Diller
If did not enjoy eye candy, I could listen to the news on the radio.
DeleteJulie loves herself.
ReplyDeleteHere comes the locker room talk. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.....
ReplyDeleteLet us not forget Claudine Wong.
ReplyDeleteChristina would be prettier if she toned down the clown make-up....
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't kick Rich out of bed for eating Ike's....
ReplyDeleteBest post of the day!!
DeleteJackie Bennett on KRON is the prettiest. Hands down. Leigh Glaser, Alejandra Cerball, Erica Kato, and Jessica Aguirre all get my honorable mention.
ReplyDeleteDarya does it for me. I like them "provocative"
ReplyDeleteAgain guys...why don't you all sit down in the bar and compare among yourselves who you think "is the hottest." But what I'd really like to see is a bunch of women judge how good looking you guys are!
ReplyDeleteNOT!
I'm pretty good looking.
DeleteDid you notice that 6:57 is getting paunchy? And what about that receding hair line on 4:39? LOL! Buffed they are not! OTOH, 1:12 has a pair of divine pecs. But they are all loser wannabes and no woman in her right mind would spend 10 seconds in conversation with them.
DeleteSo many attractive ladies on local news. I agree with 6:57. There is something about Darya that I find super sexy. Jacqueline Bennett is awesome, beauty and brains. Also very attractive in no particular order in my opinion are Erica Kato, Janu Arasu Christina Loren, Marla Telez.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
DeleteYou are so right about Darya and Erica.
It's odd, obviously attractiveness is big in TV, but I've heard of women reporters who lost gigs because they turned off female viewers BECAUSE they were so attractive.
ReplyDeleteHow can you leave Dana King out of this conversation? The single most extraordinary combination of talent, wit, brains and beauty?
ReplyDeleteDana King is annoying. Put Watts on her chair and give King her own dopey show on sunday mornings @ 5am.
DeleteMarla Telez is in the same boat as Watts....capable, adorable, and under rated. If capable, and they both are, their looks shouldn't be a liability. Sure, frumpy old broads have an axe to grind, but they'll be miserable regardless of ...well, just about anything.
Dana King "annoying?" I guess it makes sense that anybody who uses the word "adorable" to describe a newscaster would indeed find Dana King annoying...
DeleteDana King, FTW. Especially since she let her hair go natural. Now, someone will pipe up and say "No, its colored. Some high paid consultant said to do it." To which I'll say unlikely.
ReplyDeleteSatrt my day by watching Robin Meade every morning on headline news. Good looking, funny and yet very professional. Beats all the dull local anchors.
ReplyDeleteHow can you mention Robin Meade without mentioning Jennifer Westhoven?
DeleteMy favorites are Marla Tellez, Gasia, and Erica Kato. All seem sweet and are capable. Have that exotic look.
ReplyDeleteTo the poster who mentioned janu.. You know you see those lips and nothing else. Matter of factly, she is not capable and simply got the job because she dated the GM. She is completely sloppy, a drunkard, and as dumb and dumb as a bag of rocks. Its safe to leave her out of this conversation before she gets exposed for what she is...
ReplyDeleteSounds like someone got turned down for a date with Janu.
DeleteI like watching Janelle Wang, Ama Daetz and Carolyn Johnson.
Hey...I'm a 57 year old caucasian male with real 'man-boobs' and they're no 'store bought' like the racks on some of these news anchor gals!
ReplyDeleteI always tell everyone to to "feast your eyes on these baby and green with envy, because these are the real deal, they're not fake!"
How come I can't get a TV anchor job?
Elizabeth Wenger+ tight pants = Camel-toe this morning. In her prime breeder form.
ReplyDeleteJulie Watts is still too big. She still has gargantuan hips, and although she has improved in her looks since losing so much weight, she still has a long way to go. By the way, as another poster here said, you can tell that Julie "loves herself". She thinks she is Ms "It", but she isn't. I can't believe that nobody has mentioned the absolutely totally hot Cate Cauguiran! I mean, stand her up next to your favorite Julie Watts, and then see who is the REAL hottie! Cate wins hands down!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
DeleteWhy is Vicki Liviakis always omitted?
She's seductive, a fashionista, smart and
experienced. Put her on any other network
and she would put all the "babes" to shame.
I'm surprisd no one has mentioned Ama Daetz yet
ReplyDeleteRich,
ReplyDeleteYou made a comment in this bit that I've been wanting to ask you about for a long time: "She's probably the only combo consumer reporter and meteorologist too." No knock to Julie, I agree 100% with your comments. However, what is up at KPIX. I used to watch it to meaningful info from a meteorologist or traffic person. Now at KPIX they are all doing everything, it's like watching a roulette table. Place you bets, Place your bets..who's doing what today? They've lost credibility.
Julie Watts looks much older than what she is. Also, the attitude she has on air? Unbelievable. Janu is a total spaz on the air- no one I know can tolerate her. What is the story about her schtupping the boss? Curious minds want to know
ReplyDeleteWho cares about Julie Watts! How about my natural 'man boobs' that aren't store bought? Why can't they get me an anchor job!
ReplyDeleteKristen sze's smile! Perfect
ReplyDeleteTo Everyone,
ReplyDeleteWhy is Vicki Liviakis always omitted?
She's exotic, seductive, a fashionista, smart and
experienced. Put her on any other network
and she would put all the "babes" to shame.
Interesting to note that Rich has reverted to selective editing by suppressing comments about the values reflected by blog items that reduce female professionals to a collection of body parts.
ReplyDeleteRich, please explain again why you censor posts that are neither obscene, nor bad taste, but simply diverge from your own view point. I feel like it's dishonest for you to selectively edit posts in that way.
If you are going to selectively exclude posts that are non-offensive in the typical sense of being objectionable except that you disagree with what is being said, please make it clear that this is what you are doing.
Otherwise you are creating the mistaken impression that you are presenting an open dialog.
Hey Anonymous 09-12-12 @ 10:33
DeleteWhy are you so silent? You make a solid point about the self proclaimed media icon's "selective editorializing" and you pull a "Casper" i.e. the friendly ghost.
Don't you have anything more to say?
Mycalbe
Janu and Erica Kato..just smoldering. What a trisome that would make. If I hear that the GM is on her too...what is KRON? the Best Little..in SF?
ReplyDeleteRich, you have horrible taste. Let us viewers decide who is hottest.
ReplyDeleteKTVU: Gasia M and Heather Holmes
KGO: Kristen Sze and Sandya Patel
KRON: Vicki Liviakis and Erica Kato
KPIX: Elizabeth Cooke and.. that's it. No one attractive @ 5.
KNTV: Janelle Wang and erm... again that may be it for them.
Anonymous,
DeleteYou are on the mark! I can't believe Vicki Liviakis'
name isn't mentioned in all the attractive, hot or whatever polls Rich puts together.
I'm beginning to think Rich has a "thing" for Vicki
and he jealous of any attention sent her way.
Readers what do you think?
Mycalbe
So, Rich, I'm thinking this might be a good time to see a full-body photo of you. I suggest this because I'm having a problem believing you think Julie W and Ann N are attractive. Maybe it's a relative thing?
ReplyDeleteAnn Notarangelo has always been in that Kate Kelley league. But,I suspect she's into the "other team". Sorry dudes.
ReplyDeleteCmon Rich..post it..you know its probably true.
And if she says no?..Men in some ways will be disappointed. Beautiful woman cant lose either way with men.
Anonymous,
DeleteWhat is the "Kate Kelley league"?
Mycalbe.
Rich please publish the list that was sent to all the available addresses you have. This whole issue of your selective editing should ignite a firestorm. I'm ready to throw wood on the fire.
Hey 09-12@ 7:26pm,
DeleteStill waiting for your definition of the "Kate Kelley league".
Kate is one class act. This must be what you meant to say.
Mycalbe
Ladies and Gentlemen,
ReplyDeleteThe earlier post regarding Rich's "selective editing"
is right on the mark.
Rich, the self professed media star of the bay area is
total bs.
Rich is probably a loner who gets off on these ridiculous
polls about the "hotest" bay area anchors. I sent Rich
a list of the most attractive bay area anchors (each network was represented) based on my small poll. What does Rich do with
the list? Nothing! So now it becomes quite clear that Rich is selectively posting his own "lusty" ideas instead of those of his readers. Rich you are poor editor and a poster child for
self centered journalism.
Readers speak out.
Mycalbe
Hay 1:43, Who in the heck do you think you criticizing Rich L? At least he had the cajones to put together a blog and now you pullute it with your silly little comments. And what the he...is 'mycalbe,' supposed to mean? I think you're another one of these self-important, smarmy, smarkt alecky young nit wits who thinks they know everything. Do us all a favor and shut the f...up!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
DeleteDo honestly think Rich is above critique? I don't know where you come ( you sound like some ignorant hillbilly with no teeth) but we are on the west coast not the Ozarks.
Rich has a great reputation even among the media folks but he is not above reproach. Fact is alot of his bull shit is intended to keep up with his self proclaimed bay area icon image.
Get my back readers. Rich's selective editorializing
has got to go.
Mycalbe Very simple - Michael B. you dumb ass hill billy
09-14 @ 8:41am
DeleteI couldn't help but return to this post. Just
a few snipets to demonstrate your illiteracy: "pullute" it with your silly little comments. "smarmy, smarkt alecky" young nit wits who "thinks" they know everything.
Truly, your spelling alone tells me you lack a formal education. Home schooled I'm sure.
I'm doing you a favor by putting you in your proper place. I know you don't want me to go "ghetto" on
you for at 65 I can really get nasty. You cracker ass hillbilly.
Mycalbe or for you dumb ass hillbilly Michael B.
Anonymous,
DeleteI think my comments silenced your stupid ass. Stop
kissing Rich's ass and keep your low IQ ideas to
your clan. No pun intented.
Michael B
A cool,thin blue eyed blond. But Ann just might be Kate Scott like. Dream on guys.
ReplyDeletewe get it already rich. you're hot for christina loren. big whoop. ask her out (is she single?) or get over yourself. in the voice of Duane Kuiper "Nobody Cares!!!!!!!"
