May 1, 2007 -- FOXY Philadelphia TV reporter Alycia Lane is in hot water after a series of private e-mails and saucy snapshots she sent to handsome NFL Network anchorman Rich Eisen were intercepted by his wife. Suzy Shuster, a sideline reporter for ABC's college football broadcasts, hit the roof when she discovered seven e-mails and several bikini photos sent by Lane - who works for CBS affiliate WKYW-TV and is recently divorced - to an account she and her husband, Eisen, share. That had Shuster firing off to Lane a scathing letter, a copy of which was obtained by...

It is good to see the there are some in the media with a sense of patriotism.

I remember seein this gal on TV a couple years back. And I didn't remember her name until I saw a recent article by her, and followed the bio info to her website.

She has provided analysis and commentary on national television for PBS, CNN, the Fox News Channel, and MSNBC, and has appeared locally on the Orange County News Channel and Cox Cable. In addition, Carol serves as a substitute host for KABC radio in Southern California and for the...

.....Separating the men from the boysPosted: August 25, 2006 1:00 a.m. Eastern It was a shocking moment for me, and it took a few seconds for me to be sure I had heard him correctly. Had MSNBC's Tucker Carlson really belittled the argument that Islamic terrorists posed a growing threat to Western civilization as being "reprehensibly dumb"? I was on Carlson's bottom-ranked cable news show, and the once bow-tied anchor was lecturing me that my justifications for the war on terrorism and the war in Iraq was nothing more than "administration talking points." It was yet another in an incalculably...

EMIDJI, Minn., March 14 (UPI) -- Babe, Paul Bunyan's blue ox companion, a concrete statue built in 1937 by the Bemidji, Minn., Rotary Club, will be getting $100,000 worth of repairs. Bunyan and Babe have been featured twice in Life magazine. Kodak has said they're the second-most-photographed statues in the United States, right behind Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.

The Rotary Club raised more than $53,000 and...

NOVEMBER 22--In a sweetheart plea deal, a former Florida middle school teacher who had sex with a 14-year-old male student escaped a jail term today.

Lafave, who...

"What teacher in her right mind would do something like this?" attorney John Fitzgibbons said after a brief hearing for his client, Debra Lafave (search), a middle-school reading teacher....

It's absurd when smart, talented people want to be victims more than victors. The most obvious example comes from this past academic year, when feminist hysterics followed Harvard president Larry Summers hypothesizing about "innate differences" between men and women and how these differences might explain the lower number of women in science. One Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor, Nancy Hopkins, walked out of his lecture — she couldn't even listen. She would have "either blacked out or thrown up" had she stayed. So professional. There will be no smelling salts needed on the racetrack, however. Danica Patrick is no Nancy...

Ann Coulter is one Drudge right now.

Why does Jennifer Eccleston (CNN Middle East) always look pissed off? When she worked for FOX she looked like a woman with a 'ttude. Now, it's an out right "huffy" look. You don't think it's working for CNN what done it?

Until recently, Wafah Dufour was known as Wafah bin Ladin, a monumental handicap for this aspiring singer. Her lyrics are in English and the sentiments expressed are clearly Western. But this 25-year-old cosmopolitan woman is a product of several cultures. Dufour's passport is American, her education European, her heritage Saudi Arabian. She is also the niece of Osama bin Laden. Dufour told Barbara Walters she has "never met him" but still can't escape the name. "No, I can't. Unfortunately," said Dufour. She has adopted her mother's maiden name, Dufour, and is now looking to develop a singing career after spending...
