I was born to Iranian immigrants in Fresno, California. By the age of 2, I had managed to talk my parents into moving out to Los Angeles ... you would too if you lived in Fresno. But L.A. wasn't the answer either and on my 5th birthday, I was on a plane to the Middle East, where I hoped my parents would reap the rewards of their American education. They did ... for a while. But in 1979, there was an Islamic revolution in Iran; the shah was overthrown. The Ayatollah Khomeini took over, and many were killed. My world, as I had known -- and loved it, was over. I owe a lot to those trying times: I would not be the person I am today if I had not been forced to endure five post-revolution years in Iran. That kind of oppression and lost opportunities inspired me to make the most of my life and take nothing for granted.

Ok, I was looking for any real reason Fox would hire this person, other than looks she had nothing going for her, she had a flat delivery, no personality, and no wit.
But with the conflict with Iran looming I suppose it makes sense to hire someone with an Iranian history.
Other than that, she's still the dog in the Foxbabe line up, so I don't see what everyone here is gushing about.
