So, who's winning the *real* media war: the best-looking TV journalist? According to my wife, it's Todd Connor (Fox News Channel)...or, as she tells my youngest daughter: "Look, honey, there's your new daddy!" Especially since he's grown that goatee... For my money, MSNBCs Norah O'Donnell is hard to beat......unless it's FNCs Jennifer Eccleston...formerly of BBC fame. She has that wind-blown hair thing down to a science. Plenty of sites and articles have cropped up on this topic lately...variously titled "Scud Studs" (blech) or "InfoBabes" or "InfoStuds." We think that the term "Desert Fox" is more appropriate, given the locale (not a reference to the 1998 military action). Some sites are devoted to the women; others focus on the men. Some of them don't even give a hoot about the news-reporting skills of attractive reporters, wouldja believe...
UPDATE: An enterprising young chap has few screen shots of Jennifer over here. And lots more eye-candy...er, journalism professionals.
That picture doesn't even look like Todd Connor. I agree he's a hottie and I love the goatee, but the embedded Greg Kelly makes my heart beat a little faster these days.
What, Lori Dhue doesn't get a vote for you? ;)
Posted by: jen on April 5, 2003 12:59 PMI'm usually a fan a Laurie Dhue...but other days, her lips just seem a little bit *too* um...large? Wet? Sometimes.
Posted by: DavidMSC on April 5, 2003 05:48 PMI'm rather fond of Shepard Smith, or at least the way he looks on TV. In the quarter angle all his pictures are in online he looks like the real-estate King guy from American Beauty, which is kind of creepy. On TV, though, he's got a really cool mouth. The way his mouth moves is really precise. I probably wouldn't pay any attention except I love linguistics. :)
There's a lady on there who I think is really beautiful... she has short dark hair and really pretty eyes, she's older, but I can't find her name anywhere. I'll keep looking.
Posted by: Erica on April 5, 2003 08:38 PMCatherine Herridge is the name. She's lovely. I think it's because she's got a good smile and like I said, really lovely eyes. :)
Posted by: Erica on April 5, 2003 08:44 PMErica: Shep Rulz! He's got ZING! The only slightly disturbing thing about him according to my wife (an optometric technician) is his PD (pupillary distance) -- in the biz, people with his PD are sometimes referred to as "hammerhead sharks." In a loving way, of course.

Don't really care for CNN but... Heidi Collins!!!

Posted by: Michael on April 7, 2003 08:18 AMJennifer Eccleston is by far the most beautiful woman on tv.
Posted by: Mike on April 9, 2003 10:44 AMDave,
I've been searching for an all Jennifer Eccleston blog forever and now I've finally found it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
:)
Posted by: Matt on April 9, 2003 10:59 AMI disagree with Mike...Heidi Collins is the most beautiful woman on tv!!
P.S.
Great footage, keep up the great reporting!
Joe
Posted by: Joe on April 9, 2003 08:40 PMDefinitively Jennifer Eccleston is the most glamour and attractive of all. Did you guys see here laterly when she was in Amman and Bagdad ? Wow, Babe.
When will somebody make a photo-album and fan site ? Looking forward !
I used to watch Heidi Collins when she was on our local news station. She's a sweetheart. But but FOX is superior to cnn. I think Jane Skinner gets hotter everyday. Ofcourse, I wouldn't have stumbled on to this forum if I wasn't looking up Jennifer E. she's yummy!
Posted by: skidpilot on April 12, 2003 07:50 AMLauren Green is so beautiful. And I can't get over Jane Skinner at all. Its just unfortunate because I can never find many pictures of them online. You'd think there would be massive photo archives of them all over the web. I mean come on where is the Jennifer Eccleston online photo archive?
Posted by: Mitchell on April 12, 2003 08:19 AMOh freakin man what I would give for 1 hour on a cluod with Jennifer Eccleston. Her toes would never be the same again along with everything else attached.
Muwahahahaahahahaaa...
Posted by: Hard Press on April 12, 2003 03:26 PMHey, I can't believe you guys forgot about MSNBC's Natalie Morales for best looking journalist. Not even out of journalists, she's among the most beautiful women I've seen.
Posted by: Kenneth on April 12, 2003 07:13 PMHas anyone else noticed how everyone on the Fox News channel looks demented in some way or another? Even the so-called pretty ones. Laurie Dhue's face is lopsided and Catherine Herridge has a head the size of a baseball. Jennifer Eccleston is really cute, but sometimes she comes across as a bit of an airhead. I won't waste my time critiquing that stupid, inarticulate redneck (what's his name?) who looks like a serial killer and frequently anchors on Fox.
MSNBC's Norah O'Donnell is gorgeous, but I get the impression that she's a real bitch in person.
Posted by: John on April 12, 2003 11:14 PMAnyone seen that hot new spanish babe on fox, i think her name is Rebecca Gomez. Good GAWD she is gorgeous. Nice to have some more brunettes on. Even though I'm an equal opportunist =)
Posted by: Butthole on April 12, 2003 11:26 PMJennifer Eccleston is by far the best looking woman in news tv... she just seems to have a natural beauty that really comes over well on TV
I LOVE YOU JENNIFER!
:)
Posted by: Matthew on April 13, 2003 04:23 AMJennifer Eckleston is the best looking news babe. Her only flaw is that she hardly ever smiles.
Posted by: b. nichols on April 13, 2003 09:14 AMEvery chick smiles, so its nice to see one that not putting on fake smiles and all. Shes hot as hell. She just looks like shes gotta pee whenever shes on camera, which is cute. And that hair that gets blown by the wind ALL the time is just so damn sexy.
Posted by: Butthole on April 13, 2003 09:20 PMI've created the beginnings of an unofficial fan site for her at www.jennifer-eccleston.com - she deserves it!
I would appreciate you taking a look and contributing to the effort if you have an interest and anything of quality to offer.
Thanks,
Bobby
jennifer eccleston blows all of them away. i can't believe how beautiful she is. playboy should jump on this opportunity. i mean just a "women of fox news" spread with jen, heather nauert and laurie dhue would be nice. by the way, heather nauert is very, very underrated.
Posted by: justin on April 14, 2003 11:19 AME.D. still gets my vote. She is down to Earth and sexy in that early 30's soccer mom sort of way. I couldn't be interviewed by her, I'd be too mesmerized and curious about her face. I can't find a flaw.She has an angelic, perfect face.Jennifer Eccleston, however, is certainly sinfully beautiful,as is Natalie Morales
Posted by: Trey on April 14, 2003 11:27 AMDUDE RIGHT ON, HEATHER NAUERT, JENN ECCLESTON, DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THEM.
Posted by: BRANDON on April 14, 2003 11:54 AMDuuuudes! Bring on the pics if you can find them. Jen Eccleston is the hottest chick on the airwaves. Go to the Fox website and start a write in campaign to get them to release some full bod pics. I'll bet their game.
Posted by: Mark on April 14, 2003 12:30 PMJennifer Eccleston is "smokin"! Absolutely the sexiest woman I have ever seen, anywhere. The way she tilts her head alternatively to the right and left as she talks...man, she's just too hot for words. It's magic! You go girl...and take me with ya!
Posted by: Bob on April 14, 2003 04:25 PMyou asked for it, you got it -
A Jennifer Eccleston fan group...

Posted by: Smittenguy on April 15, 2003 03:21 AMOk,....I found this site with Jennifer Eccleston on my mind,...it is hard to concentrate on a war when you are looking at these hot babes that FOX has,.....my score for the FOX Babes,..is,..No. 1,..Lauren Green,..everything is there(especially those lips and that gorgeous hair),..No. 2,..Juliette Huddy No. 3..Jennifer Eccleston...a real Cupcake :) No. 4...Jane Skinner(nice one) No. 5..Catherine Herridge(nice hair and eyes,.intellectual,..would be great at libraian role),..No. 6,..Molly Henneberg(down to earth,.Scandinavian-look No. 7..Laurie Dhue,..nice, nice,.nice,.stauesque No 8..Rita Cosby ..something about her,.. No 9,..E.D.Hill,..love it when she curls her hair :)
(no,.I would not refuse any of them :) they are all breaking the rating scales :)
James
Posted by: James T. Smith on April 15, 2003 11:19 AMJennifer Eccleston gets my vote, hands down. She is so beautiful and animated without trying or looking like a painted talking head as so many other do. I like Shep and Hannity for there delivery. Kathleen Herrige is great too.
Posted by: Charles Hehr on April 15, 2003 02:17 PMI think im gonna write a tune on the guitar for Jenn Eccleston...An instrumental in BAGDAD tuning seems appropriate!
Posted by: Jason on April 15, 2003 02:19 PMWho can concentrate on the war with the Fox hotties bring it to you live 24/7. No wonder they're spanking CNN and MSNBC in the ratings. Jennifer Eccleston is by far the MOST beautiful news chicky on TV, bar none. The hair, the wind, it's too much!
My wife's loves Rick Leventhal.
Posted by: Matt on April 15, 2003 06:13 PMGot to agree, FOX certainly has the best 'Infobabes' on the tube and it certainly makes the redundant news a real pleasure to watch. One recent casulty though, the FOX Sports network Update Babe, Lisa Guerrero (Coles) has left the station to make movies. Going to miss her great smile, fabulous hair and great personality!
Posted by: T.Pinkerton on April 15, 2003 07:01 PMJennifer Eccleston is the "Desert Fox" for me.
Posted by: D. Litster on April 16, 2003 10:35 AMI have to jump on the Jennifer Eccleston bandwagon. She is absolutely beautiful! What a cat! I hooked up a tv in my office so I would not miss her reports. The wind in her hair, the serious look on her face, the way she stumbles over her words sometimes... I'm in love!
Posted by: Justin on April 16, 2003 03:25 PMJennifer Eccleston and Kiran Chetry cat fight ala miller lite commercial. Awesome!
Posted by: saddam on April 16, 2003 04:16 PMIraqi Freedom Haiku
Jennifer Eccleston live
Combat is over
But still I am riveted
What the hell are you people talking about laurie duhes face is crooked? She's freakin fine! Legs as long as telephone poles. DAMN! I should have been a phone repair man. I love Kiran and Patti ann and and Jennifer and that cute little catherine herridge and and and Heather Nauert. I'm sick of getting a bone everytime I watch the news. :o(
Posted by: Dale on April 16, 2003 08:37 PMOH by the way you can see lots of pictures of most of these girls at:
www.kapturedforyou.com
Jennifer, Jennifer, Jennifer -
How the wind tickles your blond locks. How you bounce on your little feet - ever so slightly - when you are a touch nervous. How utterly vulnerable you appear, surrounded as you are by such evil and butchery, an untouchable island of beauty, perfect and impervious.
It's not only that you make love to the camera, it's that you have no idea that you are doing it. It's that disarming wholesomeness, those fresh-scrubbed cheeks, the minimal make-up...
But mostly I think about the lucky schmoe that gets to unbutton those kakkis at night. There is a lucky schmoe out there, isn't there Jennifer? They must be waiting in line. The longest line in Baghdad.
God, what I wouldn't give to try and get a smile out of that pretty face.
Frank
Posted by: Frank on April 16, 2003 08:49 PMI'm going to murder the names, but I think Dagan McDowel (that southern accent drives me nuts), Hillary Kramer, and Teri McKeenan should be added to the hottie list.
Posted by: Uday Hussein on April 17, 2003 06:54 AMWell I agree with all you Guys on here, but I think Fox News wins hands down for News Babes...
I used to think Jane Skinner was the Number One Foxeeeee..But Now I changed my Mind....
I still personally think Kiran Chetry is the Number One Babe...But let me tell you Jennifer Eccleston certainly gives her a run for her money in the Babe stakes!!
One last Question tho...How the Hell do you Americans get all the good looking News Woman.....Wonder how you go about getting a green card lol...They are far superior to the British Rubbish that I have to watch on the BBC/ITN and Sky News...damn you all lol!
Posted by: Neil on April 17, 2003 06:56 AMJenifer Eccelston, hands down.
If only they could do her segments in slow motion. She really works that hot desert wind.

Posted by: Bubba on April 17, 2003 05:26 PMNix Jennifer Eccelston...she needs to get back into broadcast school. Stop the over enunciating and s...l...o...w speech.
Posted by: on April 17, 2003 09:02 PMre: Jen-Ecc over-enunciating.......
Maybe she's Canadian
Jen!
Hope you get to read this one day soon.You are doing a great job with your Iraq coverage.You "light" up the screen every time your on.Have you considered acting sometime?
Stay safe and if your ever around Boston,Ma. please give a holler...It'd be a pleasure to meet you in person and sit to a nice dinner and conversation.
Rick
With babes like Jennifer Eccleston, Laurie Dhue, and others, it's no wonder why it's called "FOX" News. Damn, even Shep rules! Especially for how he handled the Jennifer Lopes-Blow Job thing...that was hilarious "but it won't happen again!" hahahahhahaha
Posted by: Mike D on April 19, 2003 08:02 AMHey Cnn and Jennifer Eggleston..
I am a straight attractive female who has taken an interest in charming,sexy and informative jennifer.. she ads passion, charm and a hey look again at her to the news.. I am a former journalism student and back then I wasnt respected because of my beauty.. good for you jennifer would love to talk to you or any of your fans.. Way to go you made the war less gloomy.. got respect for your brains and beauty and uniqueness thanks for adding a smile... love ya and I mean that in a professional respectful manner
Is her real last name Eggleston??
Posted by: LaCienegaJustSmiled on April 19, 2003 10:31 PMOk ok, Jen is a fox ,but what about that stud Col. Chris Vernon? He must be camera shy cause I can't find a picture of him anywhere and he has tons of articles written.Any sitings? I wait and wait to see him on Fox reporting but I guess with the war winding down he went back to England? Last I heard the British troops were in Do Ha Cutter or something? Please!!!! I'm having withdrawls! If my boyfriend is drooling over Jennifer, I need to at least see the Col. Yowww!!! He is sooo good lookin.
Posted by: Suzanne on April 20, 2003 07:42 AMJennifer Eccleston could be talking about how the Russians have just let loose an A bomb on DC and all I would think about is how gorgeous she is!
Posted by: Larry on April 20, 2003 03:55 PMHeidi Collins has my vote, hands down. She is genuine and real. Not to mention, what a face!!! A close up shows she not only has red short hair, but beautiful blue eyes. Mr. Collins is a lucky guy!!
Posted by: Tim on April 21, 2003 02:31 PMJennifer is hot, but Molly de Ramel is my favorite. She has that Scully-esque-Gillian Anderson thing going on. SCHWING!!
Posted by: Thomas on April 22, 2003 10:26 AMHey guys. Jennifer is a very pretty girl. She's the kind of girl that can get away with wearing no makeup because she's got lovely skin. Anyway I have a Rick Leventhal Blog incase any of you gals are craving for him since he's been back. There's a bunch of us girls who oogle over that man. So here's the URL http://rickleventhal.blogspot.com
Posted by: Melissa on April 22, 2003 10:55 AMShe nonchalantly brushes her blonde locks out of her gorgeous eyes,bats her lashes a few times,and bounces a few times on her toes--------and a million guys melt.Talk about the "face that launched a thousand ships"----that would be nothing for Jennifer Eccleston.
Along with the three B's(brains,beauty,bravery)she is also an incredibly talented professional.I tune into Fox just hoping she will pop up------WOW what a babe. Rich,Florida
Wow, you really do like me! Here's another:
Speaking of the news
I wouldn't mind a piece of
Kiran Chetry too
Heidi Collins is by far the most beautiful anchor in the business.......and the most believable....That hair, those eyes...Heidi's head and shoulders above them all.
Posted by: Noid on April 23, 2003 02:34 PMWORD UP on Heidi Collins
She is babealicious
incredible eyes! and that hair! ohhh mama!!
My Tivo is on the J. O. B. now! American Morning is the show to watch as long as she's on.
Nice legs too--they do a Today Show-esque couch interview section on that show and I saw Heidi's nice pins this AM
Great site!
Beau
Posted by: Beau Jack on April 23, 2003 03:09 PMJennifer Eccelston has something unique to her. She may not pronounce the words right at times, but I don't think any of us care. Not to say that in a disrespectful manner, but I just like her whole personality, makes her news reporting worth listening. Shes very lovely, beautiful, and hot!:) And what makes her so lovely to me is she has the smarts, and intelligence to go with that. A perfect woman indeed:)!
Posted by: mike on April 27, 2003 04:49 PMI'm all about Jane Skinner. She is very attractive, and her teeth are so sexy.
Forget Go Go Gomez, I don't think I could listen to her talk over 5 minutes without committing hari-kari.
I can't believe people still watch shriveled old socialists like Dan Rather and Peter Jennings for their news. Besides having the most gorgeous, intelligent and riveting news babes, the Fox "foxes" are not afraid to show their Red White and Blue....I especially love Juliet huddy because she is stunning AND funny....especially when the words France or French are brought up...also thumbs up to ED for brandishing a 3rd ID pin for the war....
