  1. This is no contest - Bill Hemmer! In that sky blue shirt, standing on a windy hillside in Israel - whoa!
    However the voters on TMZ.com have picked someone else!

  2. Richard Engel, then Bill.

  3. Heh - Get a load of all the Church Ladies sniffing at the very IDEA… you’d think the ladies hadn’t ever seen a war before. (Scud Stud, anyone?)

    It’s an unfair contest really. Hemmer and Engel would probably do fine in less stunning company, but Cooper is in a class by himself.

  4. Not that this kind of thing matters, but may I ask why Shep was left off the list? He’s worked tirelessly over there, getting big stories/interviews, and it seems he’s TV almost constantly.

  5. s/b “on TV almost constantly.”

    Sorry.

  6. Missy,
    I agree! Shep should have been on the list. Rats! They didn’t ask our opinion!

  7. It has nothing to do with never seeing a war before that some people think it’s tasteless to go labeling those covering it as “hotties.” I always thought that “Scud Stud” stuff was tasteless.

  8. Missy - they weren’t rating coverage or hard work, but hotness. Not that Shep’s not hot, I’m just saying.

    Tanne - it’s a CELEBRITY GOSSIP SITE. You don’t GO there for tasteful, muted coverage of life’s vale of sorrow. A ‘tasteful’ gossip site would go out of business is about a week.

    Consider the source, people. Jeez.

  9. I checked back in at the site, and voters at TMZ.com have tightened things up!
    Anderson 46%
    Bill 45%
    Richard 9%

  10. I am very glad I try to stay away from gossip sites…how insipid to trivialize such a thing.
