    re: heather locklear. OH BOO HOO HOO. Those no-names on that show should be groveling at Locklear's feet for merely showing up and keeping them employed. And I say this as a complete fan of the new series.

    I have heard from a couple on-set sources that Kellan Lutz is a major douche. Shocking, I know!
    As for Heather Locklear, if I looked that good at 72, I would act like a prima donna too. Shut it bitches, she is there to save your asses!

    Think of the marketing potential Carrie. You could start your own line of Christian pornography. Except of course you can't promote it as porn. Instead, sell it as "marital aids" for traditional married couples looking to glorify the Lord by stimulating their healthy heterosexual sex lives. Voila, problem solved.

    I was always under the impression that they begged Diane to come in and save GMA. She never wanted it to be a permanent gig so they must keep throwing bags of money at her to stay. I'm sure she'll miss all the morning hijinx like this week's opportunity to sing back up for Whitney Houston with her BFF Robin.

    I must be the only one who really likes Cynthia McFadden.

    Thank you, John, for the mental image of Les Moonves banging his dick on a table.

    Good for her. It's a crowning achievement in a stellar career and maybe by having her in the big chair, the nutjobs will stop screaming about a liberal bias.

    I cannot stand the woman. She makes my skin crawl with her saccharine laugh and ingratiating interview style. I'd LOVE to have have an experienced female at the helm, but she should be a heavy hitter like Margaret Warner or Gwen Ifill (or even Cathy Wurzer for you Minnesota folk!). I could spend all day making a list of better candidates.

    @gladys_kravitz: In my opinion, Gwen does a very good job of engaging her interview subject(s) to find the crux of an issue and does not just recite pre-scripted questions. She's tough but not adversarial. Warm but not ingratiating. I usually feel at least somewhat enlightened after her segments.

    Incidentally, if Disney had bought DC Comics instead of Marvel, I'm sure Clark Kent would be helming ABC World News.

    @Bos'un's Mate: Thanks for the insight and I do see your point about her not seeming scripted or being a suck up with guests (are you listening, Charlie Rose?). I've become so used to network and cable news people injecting their own personalities into the interviews that PBS often feels dry to me in comparison.

    To play Robot Devil's advocate: why is it so hard to believe that, at this stage of the game, having made millions of dollars already, Sawyer (and for that matter, Couric) would rather choose a job which they feel still has a certain aura of prestige versus, say, letting us know about the latest happenings of Jon & Kate?

    From a news division perspective, yes, it's a terrible idea, but don't begrudge the ladies for wanting to sit in the Big Chair.

    It can actually be spelled both ways - the "lede" is AP style. Drove me nuts till I was told about it.

    Not to detract from the landmark of having two wimmens in the network anchor chairs, it's some bullshit for Bob Woodruff, who almost had the pinnacle job in TV. It was my impression (from seeing him doing in-studio interviews after his injuries) that he appears to have recovered (from what we can see on TV anyway), so you'd think that the original offer for him to anchor should still stand, as Charlie was merely brought on as his last-minute replacement... no? How is it Charlie's call to name who gets to anchor?
