1] Does she have to be falling out of her top and be all cleavage in the morning? Put it away! Just read the news! Stop pouting!

2] Does she have to go to the Oscars? Really? Why does she have to be there?

ooh someone sounds a bit thyis morning

snowleopard · 28/02/2007 10:23

I like her. But maybe only because she's marginally less annoying than that Nancy Kerplunky.

AnnabelCaramel · 28/02/2007 10:24

I used to like her. But since dh said just how much he likes her I don't!
with you all the way ipanemagirl!

ipanemagirl · 28/02/2007 10:26

Carmenere - it's true I'm not in a fab mood but the dollification of all women on telly is a pet hate of mine.

I also cannot bear The Kaplinsky woman.

I just wish all women on telly didn't have to constantly appear to be auditioning for some kind of come dancing programme. What's wrong with reading the news?

Hmm, I think she started off a bit more cerebral, but then she (or some daft producer) decided she has to fill la Kerplunky's thigh-high boots and get all tarty and vacant - she'll be on a reality show next.

AnnabelCaramel · 28/02/2007 10:29

Try ITV. Penny Smith is great.

AnnabelCaramel · 28/02/2007 10:29

...although she did do a reality show come to think of it.

Enid · 28/02/2007 10:32

i like her

Enid · 28/02/2007 10:33

kate not penny

the two ogres on gmtv are like throwbacks from the 80's

ipanemagirl · 28/02/2007 10:35

I agree snowleopard, she's been corrupted by the desperation for fame that they all seem to succomb to. Shame - she used to look like an attractive woman doing her job rather than a desperate woman not concentrating on her job but on fallin out of her top and wishing she was dancing on ice. sigh.

I like her. I find the other one, Georgina something, irritating. She never looks very comfortable on the sofa and keeps whipping her round to look at the copresenetr and then back at the camera.

I just want to yell at her to sit still.

AnnabelCaramel · 28/02/2007 10:36

? who are the GMTV ogres? I only watch Penny on the news at 8.

snowleopard · 28/02/2007 10:37

And she used to have quite funky, kind of spiky hair and now it's morphed into "newsbabe" hair. Depressing.

ipanemagirl · 28/02/2007 10:39

agree about the hair snowleopard - she's been stepford-wifed and is now a robot.

Actually no one is more depressing than the utterly gorgeous French newsreader : Melissa Theuriau. Check her out on google images - she is unbelievably beautiful. My husband almost keels over at the sight of her! And when she speaks French too! Maybe she has driven all our newsreaders demented with jealousy and wannabeness.

Katie - she looks like a rather severe grammar school girl, with those heavy specs and a fixed glaze in the eye. And she DID look so uncomfortable in Hollywood. Nice dress though, but probably better on someone else.

Now Kirsty Wark!!!!!!

NomDePlume · 28/02/2007 10:47

rofl @ 'gmtv ogres'

MegaLegs · 28/02/2007 10:48

yeah she's alright I suppose

NomDePlume · 28/02/2007 10:49

she looks like she is made from orange plastic

NomDePlume · 28/02/2007 10:50

Kaplinski makes me want to gouge my own eyes out with a rusty soup spoon

Pann · 28/02/2007 10:50

is that a Barbie???

too perfect.........>

ipanemagirl · 28/02/2007 10:50

Oh I like Kirsty! But she is sometimes a little over enthusiastic. But she's not so desperate to fall out of her shirt is she? Maybe I'm more tolerant - she's certainly star struck as hell - witness the madonna interview oh kirsty you should be ashamed of yourself. But I like you!

snowleopard · 28/02/2007 10:50

I love Kirsty Wark. No amount of overflowing bazoomas or newsbabe style (were she ever to achieve it) could overshadow her innate bluestocking.

NomDePlume · 28/02/2007 10:51

picky

Pann · 28/02/2007 10:52

I forgive the MAdonna thing. But then, I'd forgive La Wark anything. Intelligently sexy. And such a perfectly imperfect face. Shameless drooling.
