Soledad O'Brien is out and former FOX cutie Kiran Chetry is in. TMZ has confirmed through sources that Miles and Soledad O'Brien have been officially booted as anchors of CNN's "American Morning."

John Roberts will be joining Chetry as their replacements. CNN recently snatched up Chetry from FOX News Channel. Sources say the switch will take effect in two to three weeks. Both O'Briens will remain under CNN employ.

That would make her a "Soledad Sistah!"

That being said, "Soledad" means "Solitude" in Spanish. Still an odd name.

Fox let her go a couple months ago following a contract dispute. I miss Kiran since I rarely watch cnn.

She used to do some lightweight kids show. I thought she was hot.

Still a cutie, although Xuxua remains the hottest kids show host EVER!

I noticed Chetry a few weeks ago and wondered what CNN was doing with her.

She’s a big improvement over O’Brien, but, it’s still CNN.

Jumping from FNC to CNN is a bad career move, Kiran....just ask what’s-her-name......

Xuxua? Was that is portuguese or something? Google isn’t much help.

Well, it looks like Kiran didn’t waste any time in putting the screws to the veteran morning anchors at CNN. I guess she quickly accomplished at CNN what she never could at Fox. The pairing with John Roberts is interesting-couldn’t they have chosen someone a bit younger to anchor with Chetry? Oh well, it should be fun to watch the two of them tripping all over themselves, trying to outdo one another at reciting the latest anti-Bush, anti-war, anti-Christian talking points.

The show will still be a loser, no matter who hosts. It’s CNN.

Actually I never liked Kiran. Didn’t know when to shut up and I heard she went on CNN and told viewers that CNN was sterling or supreme as a news channel which got her husband Chris Knowles fired too.
I had my doubts when she raved on about how she really like “Brokeback Mountain”, I thought at that time, ugh!!!
Good Riddance!!

Unfortunately, I’ll never again get to see Kiran. I’ll certainly miss her sweet personality but alas, she’s on a show that I don’t choose to watch, even to see her.

Guess the very poor ratings at CNN didn’t bother her or the fact that CNN seems to go through anchors like fire in dry brush....

She drove me crazy, but now I don’t have to worry about it, as I wouldn’t watch CNN for anything.

Didn’t she do a bit on a computer information program back in the day? Can’t remember the show, but, if memory serves me right, she didn’t know enough about computers to give her “creds” there either.
