Jackson Jambalaya

Where is Katina Rankin?

Cheryl Lasseter?

C'mon Fish. You can't be leaving other women out.

Haley Westbrook is Jackson's Hottest Reporter. Period. In fact, Haley Westbrook is Jackson's Hottest Female. End of Story. Her boyfriend is one lucky bastard. I'd do his laundry for a month just to find out some of Haley's hobbies and interests. (sigh) Also, Lindsey Slater is a (yankee) babe (and on a side note, is quite obviously far superior to the other weatherman; I mean, at least point to the general vicinity of the rapidly approaching tornado). In fact, Fox 40 reporters make other stations' reporters look like Mastiffs. This "contest" should be "Fox 40's Hottest Reporter."

1:48 here. Heather Burke is hot too. I hear she's a cat lover, as well. Can you say Bonus Points?

Please. It's not Megan West .. it should be Mega-licious! Fox 40? No. 16 has it going on. It's not fair to make us pick one

The second one from the left on row 10 looks a lot like Howard Ballew.

Mega-licious? PLEASE. She's not even Top 5.

Is that a JFP babe? Does she has approval from her Holy Mother?

We do not refer to them as babes. Ms. McLaughlin is very nice as evidenced by the fact she does not shoot me on sight. She is an attractive young woman who works her tail off like the rest of these reporters do.

Why no men in your hottest reporters? You have female, and we'd like to vote, too. :-)

2:40 again--That should be you have female READERS, etc.

How can i vote for that goddess Kathryn Kight. She isn't on the poll?

Dammit, DID I? ok, I'm going to start over and reset. Sorry. I'm going to add Katina, Cheryl, and Kathryn. Sorry troop.

Lots of beautiful, smart, talented women!

It's a toughy, but I'm going for Barbie. Sister looks GREAT! Seems to be uber down-to-earth and a hard working Christian mom to boot. Whole package. Go Barbie!

I would totally let Heather Burke one-man band me. YOWZA

this should be a poll for the second hottest. after lindsay. i don't care if she's from mars. we need the swimsuit edition

Haley Westbrook -- There's just something about that dark, mysterious lady

although i am normally a sucker for canadian tuxedos in channel 3 minivans, i must concur. westbrook is finer than frog hair. Em em em, i would drink that girl's bath water.

Dude, that Haley Westbrook's boyfriend has to be the luckiest guy on earth. I'm upping the offer to do his laundry for 2 months to get the hobbies info. Obviously she is wicked smart too. What does a girl like that read anyway, nothing like that twighlight crap.

Barbi Bassett was pregnant for about ten years. When did she get so thin? Never would have predicted that.

That is one long pregnancy.

Watching Haley Westbrook's live shots is like listening to Bristol Palin vow to remain abstinent--- it's just unbelievable.

Of course Haley is smart. She graduated from UGA. Go Dawgs!

Be nice. She is married with a baby. Pretty much all of these reporters are engaged, married, or have b/f's. A few of them also have kids too so be nice.

Excuse me. Aren't these supposed to be CURRENT photos. Because .. that's not Barbie now.

The "bass boat" reference was just a joke. I was simply saying that Kathryn Kight is the ideal ... good ole boy's dream of a girl.

Who's the clown who doesn't think Megan West is top 5. Have you seen her in person. MEEEOOOW

I too don't think that West is Top 5. Maybe years ago but not now. Too many newcomers to town who are hotter.

My Top 5.

1. Straw
2. Suares-Evans
3. Kight (Best rack)
4. Westbrook
5. Diehl (Best tight bod)

Is that Jennifer Cook in that one picture? Does anyone know here she wemt?

Yes, they "work long hours, in most cases don't get paid much, are always there for us no matter what time of day it is, and do it all with a smile." And you honor them by judging them on their looks. Disgustingly sexist.

How would you do if we rated you on your looks?

well, it was fun while it lasted; the Feminist Police are here to ruin everyone else's good time. Is it the double-name, Casey Ann, or the fact that you haven't been on a date in 3 years that makes you spit your vitriolic jealousy towards these beautiful women? Give it a rest.... Put your copy of The Bell Jar down for just one night... and let a meaningless blog have a good time. k, pumpkin?

He'd do well.

And it's all in good fun. We respect them all for ALL their attributes. Brains. Dedication. Yada yada. But nothing's wrong with complementing on looks every once in a while.. to me, a well put together appearance often represents personal organization, discipline, and self worth enough to care. And nothing's wrong with any of those traits.

Don't like it, don't vote. I'm sure no one here means to offend.

CaseyAnn-wanna do it? Maybe that'll work out your kinks. Pun intended.

a well put together appearance often represents personal organization, discipline, and self worth enough to care. And nothing's wrong with any of those traits.

AMEN Sister!

I actually meant to say "nothing's wrong with 'applauding' any of those traits." But you know what I mean.

While I'm editing I'd also like to say I meant "Barbi" (spelling) in my earlier comment.

There, now I feel better, on with the show! ;-)

Barbie has no peers when it comes to hotness.

Barbi was hot before being hot was cool!

Why aren't we voting on guys too?

Oh, I forgot! None of the male newspeople here are remotely attractive enough to vote on that "quality". None come to mind as cute. Maybe I'm missing someone though.

Katina Rankin gets my vote. This chick is so perky and into her gig that she is usually totally entertaining to watch. She puts these voice inflections into reports that crack me up...There's grave and sober Katina, and lighthearted and whimsical Katina, what the hell is this about Katina, etc. Personality and looks, that's what she's got.

Gay guy I know would love to pork Scott Simmons.

"a well put together appearance often represents personal organization, discipline, and self worth enough to care. And nothing's wrong with any of those traits."

Discipline?? Organization?? What is this, an episode of Hoarders? Darwin would powder his pimp hand and slap you silly.... It's galled G-E-N-E-T-I-C-S. pure and simple.

To quote cinematic greatness in the movie Liar Liar (ahem).. "My teacher says real beauty is on the inside, (reply) That's just something ugly people say."

Ha, kidding. Anyway, just "genetics" my butt, I stand by what I said.

Btw looked it up, guess it is "barbiE" and I had it right the first time. So for the scholarship and cash and prizes, that's Barbie with an E.

@10:41: "It's called G-E-N-E-T-I-C-S pure and simple."

That's pure and simple bullshit. It's called taking one's ass to the gym and eating right.

If you don't think these ladies have to work to keep their bodies looking like that, you're crazy.

In defense of Casey Ann, I must ask why is such obvious sexism considered "all in fun". Think about it, would you want your daughter or granddaughter judged this way when she's interviewing for a job or going for a promotion? Doubt it.

Since it is "all in good fun", I respectfully suggest the moderator not allow attacks such as the ones against Casey Ann. Your readership is probably diverse and allowing personal attacks is counterproductive. FYI personal attacks that insinuate sexual violence is definitely not "all in good fun".

hey Curt--- I appreciate your feeble attempt at wit. I suppose that facial structure/ symmetry, eyes, hair, jaw, lips, teeth, nose, skin--all traditional notions and indicators of "beauty" as we have defined it-- are developed or maintained in a gym? you're a f*cking moron if that is your position. By your logic, beauty is developed in the gym, therefore those who are not slim, toned, tan and in good cardiovascular health are automatically considered "beautiful." open your eyes, read a book, preferably one on the english language, and try again next time, dipsh*t. thanks .

are automatically considered NOT beautiful*

"By your logic, beauty is developed in the gym, therefore those who are not slim, toned, tan and in good cardiovascular health are automatically NOT considered "beautiful."

That's absolutely a correct statement of my position (except maybe the tan part). There's nothing beautiful about a lardass.

Where's Marsha Thompson from WLBT?

Oh, is she too old, past the cut-off age, or something?

Really, what gives?

Considering she just lost her husband, I would think it is in bad taste if I included her in such a poll.

She is beautiful today. You should have seen Marsha when she lived at the Groovy Grove (at the pool) in 1975.

"Aren't these supposed to be CURRENT photos. Because .. that's not Barbie now."

Dude, have you seen her lately or in person? The Barbie-babe has lost like 70+ pounds! That woman could have my babies anyday, or at least we'd have fun makin' 'em!

By the way, thanks to Lindsey. She sent me a photo at my request that I posted above. Very nice lady and her husband is a lucky man even if she is from Wisconsin. ;-) Haley last night thought the whole thing was pretty funny and truth is, most of them get a kick out of it.

As for Casey, well, I can see why you made that post defending her but Casey has been on this site before emptying the trash can. In fact, her first comment ever made was an attack on me so I really don't feel any need to show her any respect.

The Kapt is OK for Haley! Woooo HOOO! I actually put up with duphus that tries to run an interactive experience that turns out to be a nightmare, but he sure is fun to laugh at! Go FOX Weather!

Lindsey makes waking up in the morning just a little easier.

By far one of the best looking Wisconsin-ites I have seen.

Dude, Barbie's hair weighs 80 lbs. You do the math on the rest.

Sorry, folks, but Monica Hernandez is still the smokin' hottest of them all!

I'd kill for a head of hair like that! Glad she's at least thinking of someone else when she donates it. That woman is hotter than the temp in Mexico City!

actually THAT is Barbie - it was taken this past summer....around July I believe...sat at Neshoba county fair with her and she was wearing the SAME outfit ...so in fact she does look better in person, but that's what an hour plus work out at the gym FOUR to FIVE days a week will get you...

Excuse me. I think FoX 40 is stuffing the ballot box. THEy don't have that many viewers much less babe fans.

One profile shot from the side of Lasseter and it is OVER. What a bod!

barbie bassett is THE BEST we have in mississippi! she does a phenominal job as our chief meteorologist, community leader, Godly mother and wife. these are the qualities you look at in someone when you are voting on things like this. it is not about being HOT, she is beautiful in the inside as well as the outside. not sure abiut this 80 pounds of hair???? i would kill to have her hair! pregnant 10 years?? no, she has a beautiful family and it may have taken a period of 10 years to get them here. we appreciate what she is to this city and as my friend....yes, and she worked hard for that new figure!!!!

Guys, whatever happened to " the way to a man's heart is through his stomach"?
You wanna open the fridge and see a beer or tofu?
And, I hope you guys understand that the money that will go for plastic surgery and botox and facials and manicures and hair and makeup and the physical fitness trainer and whitener or crowns for that dazzling smile, the great clothes and jewelry could buy alot of golf clubs and rifles.
All of your women could look great if your willing to pony up the big bucks.
Up to you fellows!
But, when you're 65, be prepared to trade them in and start all over.
Geez I loved raining on this parade:-)

one pic of Straw on here..and she's sharing it with someone? All the other girls get several pics..where is the justice? Straw best plain and simple..and she's even more beautiful in person..

Rosilyn Anderson? I love how she reports the Sunday night news. It is neverending at times. She gets my vote for the one most likely to say "What the F*** people? Can't yall act any better than this?"

She is definitely a ticking timebomb.

Beautiful smile, too.

This thing is a joke, albeit a fun one. the Fox girls are stuffing the ballot box.

"the Fox girls are stuffing the ballot box." Here, have some cheese with that whine.... sour grapes loser. Could it be-- is it at all possible-- that the Fox 40 reporters are the hottest reporters in Jackson? Isn't that the point of this vote?? I guess the candidate who wins, and her station, will presumptively have "stuffed the ballot box" by default? give a f'ing break.... go eat a tofu burger or something. pffft...

Does anybody even watch Fox? I didn't know they showed news. This is the first I'm seeing that they have reporters. How long have they had a news show?

I repeat my support for Haley. I really only like to watch her. The others are comedic support.

Now for my Ballot Box Stuffer Anonymous admission.

Hi, my name is Kapt., and I'm a ballot box stuffer.

I will admit, I'm a ballot box stuffer. It does say vote early, vote OFTEN. I actually am also the one that has stuffed boxes on other occasions, remember Alan Keyes? I cannot take credit for the Pot vote, I only voted once. Finally, I admit I have voted twice on this one.

KK

The Fox station added a newscast a few months ago. It's on at 9, not 10.

Are you seriously covering this topic, KF?? The hottest reporter is the one who breaks the story.

(10:47 said)"Guys, whatever happened to " the way to a man's heart is through his stomach"?"

Wow, am just seeing that.

That's soooo not the route you take to get there, honey. It's a little further south on the map. But good luck with the mashed potatoes.

I knew there was a reason you wore stilettos!

Seriously?! Do any of you watch the news? Heather Burke all the way!

SGOP you are soooo bad.

All WLBT women win this poll!! :D

Wendy and Julie all the way!

You have Barbie Bassett, but not Heather Sophia (WAPT)? I refuse to watch WAPT during the week cause of that skanky David Hartman: but Heather makes it pleasurable to watch on the weekends!

Who are these people voting for Fox 40 girls? How do they have almost 300 votes when they only have like 4 viewers total.

I can't believe Monica has only gotten a few votes. What the hell is up with that. That is one of the most beautiful women in this town.

Anybody who can spit out 10 kids and bounce back with the body of a high school cheerleader, has my vote. Barbi Bassett can give my personal forecast any day! Is she the only one who here who is married with children?

No, she's not. Cheryl Lasseter and Kathryn Kight are both beautiful women, married with children. They look incredible. Where are their votes?!

Those two ARE beautiful moms. They are just not campaigning for votes on Twitter like Barbi.

The Jeopardy final question is which of the contestants in Kingfish's hottest reporter poll has a most excellent rack?

Good luck.

[Final jeopardy theme music]

Who is... Cheryl Lasseter.

Thats funny. I follow Barbi on twitter, too, and the only time she mentioned it was Saturday. Saw her over the weekend at an event and she has her hands full. Word has it she is leaving.

Who is ... Kathryn Kight?

who is......1)stephanie bell flynt. (by a huge margin), 2)marsha thompson, 3) barbie bassett, 4) cheryl lasseter

You should have a top five run off.

Yup, Stephanie Bell Flynt & Cheryl Lasetter got their money's worth.

Damn. I REALLY like that idea.

Right now it would be Haley, Lindsay, Barbi, Wendy, and Julie.

You should have had a "Hot Mamas" poll, for women in the media (not just tv) with children! That would cover several.

I'm eagerly awaiting the next poll.......hottest babes of the Fondren Bugle.

8:19pm "word has it she's leaving"? Where is Barbi supposedly going? Is she leaving WLBT? I don't believe that.

It's really not much of a competition. Monica Hernandez has more charm and class than all the others combined.

"damn. I REALLY like that idea..."

Calm down there, fish... that sounded a bit creepy. looks like someone REALLY has enjoyed this "vote," and would like to see it continue... indefinitely?

time to move on to the next inane blog topic.

Maggie Wade and Barbie Basset are my favorite. They are 'real' and don't act fake like some of the others on here. WLBT has the prettiest women for real.

Barbie far and away should win this, even though she is a meteorologist and not a reporter even with children. She is the TOTAL package.

Total package? Yea, she's a load alright.

The hair must weigh 25-pounds. Hello, Barbara Mandrell called .. she wants her Hair Style back. Dolly Parton waiting on line 1.

My, my, the competition must be fierce on here. I, too, saw Barbi over the weekend speak to a group and it is true, she's leaving. You other gals across town may want to try to jump ship to channel 3. And no, she isn't a load. She's actually smaller in person and looks the same size as all of the other girls on this poll that I've seen in person. And, I'd KILL for that head of hair. Then again, maybe thats why she's always giving it to cancer victims. Now Howard Ballu, THAT man is a LOAD!

Suffice it to say, Barbi is good people.

Barbi went on a liquid diet to lose weight. I like women who eat food. Eating food is hot.

Where's Barbie going?

Dudes Haley is my cousin, I'm serious I see her all
the time
