• Katie Holmes is pregnant, and we know because Tom Cruise put his hand on her stomach, in front of a restaurant. [OK!]
• Sean Hannity bought Alan Colmes a Rolex as thanks for serving as his liberal punching bag on Fox News for nearly 13 years. Fox's corporate sibling the New York Post then let it be known that Colmes was showing off the watch to his hippie pinko friends. [P6]
• Maria Bartiromo completed an adulatory interview with former Merrill Lynch boss John Thain. There's concern she may have kissed up to the guy because he and CNBC share a publicist, since she's normally just so tough and professional with corporate honchos. [P6]
• The British press thinks Paris Hilton is lying about believing Gordon Ramsay to be prime minister of Britain, but telling the truth about not dating Prince Harry because she respects Harry's ex-girlfriend wayyy too much to do that. Can't put one past Fleet Street.
• This year's Grammy parties are all going to suck, for famous people. [Gatecrasher]

Presumably Hannity fill the extra airtime shouting at invited guests and interviewing more Jew-fearing sources for his "investigations" into Barack Obama and other secret Muslims.

Though the idea of left-right balanced opinion shows has become passe (thanks in part to Jon Stewart's reaming of Crossfire), Fox News might have been better off going the other way. It can be fun to watch Hannity take it on the chin, as happened all too rarely on Hannity and Colmes. One exception was the clip above, in which Colmes slams Hannity over his double standard on marital affairs; below, Obama aide Robert Gibbs hounds Hannity over an anti-Semitic source.

• 1. Katie Couric, at the extreme left of our chart, is so heavily disliked by Republican viewers that the new CBS anchor might as well be a communist.
• 2. By calculating the balance of Democratic and Republican opinion, we arrayed the anchors across the political spectrum: nearly two-thirds of the anchors slant left, at least in respondents minds; but the right-wing anchors of Fox News are the most polarizing.
• 3. Viewers are surprisingly indifferent to Lou Dobbs: I would have thought the CNN anchor's anti-immigration stance would have won him more conservative fans.
• 4. Disliked by all political tribes: CNN's diaper-wearing Larry King; oh-so-serious Wolf Blitzer; Fox's token liberal, Alan Colmes; CNN's graceless Nancy Grace and Scientologist Greta Van Susteren.
• 5. All things to all people: ABC nightly news anchor Charlie Gibson; NBC's Brian Williams; and, surprisingly, CNN's silver fox, Anderson Cooper. (Better not let the social conservatives know that he likes Latin men!)

Methodology: Harris asked respondents for the three most liked and disliked TV personalities; we took the net totals for survey participants who also gave a political affiliation. For instance, 42% of Republicans liked Bill O'Reilly, and 10% disliked him, giving him a net approval rating among Republicans of 32%, indicated by the substantial red bar under his name. Only 11% of Democrats said they liked the controversial Fox News anchor, and 34% named him one of their least favorite news figures, giving him a net approval rating among Democrats of negative 23%, marked by the blue bar stretching below the x-axis.
