News Hottie of the Week: Abbi Tatton

Posted on December 11, 2009

I could have sworn I did this post before, but apparently not. Abbi Tatton reports on the internet for CNN’s Situation Room. She’s the lady who tells Wolf Blitzer what’s happening on blogs and Twitter, which is generally unimportant, but what ever you have to do to pander to viewers I guess? Anyway, as one of the first Internet reporters in television news, Ms. Tatton has explored Internet angles to stories including the war in Iraq, the London subway bombings and the 2006 midterm elections. She has also covered the emergence of blogs and the internet and their relationship to political elections and campaigning. She attended the University of Leeds and received her M.A. from American University. There was also, briefly, a blog devoted to her, I Luv Abbi Tatton.

French News Hottie of the Week: Melissa Theuriau

Posted on July 7, 2008

Today’s News Hottie of the Week comes to us courtesy of France’s Métropole 6 television network. Melissa Theuriau received her news journalism degree from the technical institute at Pierre Mendès-France University. She went on from there working for various news programs before settling down at M6 in 2006 as editor-in-chief and presenter of Zone interdite, a weekly magazine show featuring investigative reporting. She also presents Un jour, une Photo and Deux, trois jours avec moi.

In March of last year, she started an organization with five other (also attractive) French female journalists which works with UNICEF to improve girls’ education around the world.

In 2006, the Daily Express voted her the world’s most beautiful news reporter. She was similarly voted “TV’s sexiest news anchor” by readers of the US edition of Maxim. In May 2007, she was voted most beautiful woman in the world in the French edition of FHM. Paris Match has referred to her as la bombe cathodique (“the television bombshell”). So she’s clearly credentialed. Also: There are published photos of her topless at a beach. And I’ve seen them.
As a special NHotW bonus, here’s a video of just her, looking good and speaking French:

Space Hottie Revisited

Posted on March 16, 2008

Fun fact: Past hottie of the week Dr. Yi So-yeon is going into space. She kinda got in on a technicality, because that dude she was up against broke some Russian space agency rules involving training manuals. But still, she got in. I’d like to think the vote of confidence from jwiltshire.org helped the cute 29 year old bio-engineer out. Though that’s probably classified by the FSB.

Posted on November 12, 2007

Hurray, another news hottie. This time up: Jemima Kiss (pronounced “kish”, apparently), columnist for the Guardian. Ms. Kiss writes the Guardian’s gadget/tech blog PDA. On top of being an intelligent and attractive geek, she’s also a huge Apple fan. (DB look away for this sentence) And she’s a fan of her recently purchased iPhone. (DB continue reading) She has a personal blog that’s interesting as well. And let’s face it, the Guardian blog is far better written than CrunchGear. So there is that.
