Schadenfreude-O-Rama: Trouble Follows Philly TV Anchorwoman
Trouble Follows Philly TV Anchorwoman
By KATHY MATHESON (Associated Press Writer)

PHILADELPHIA - The Anchor Behaving Badly show seems to be in reruns.

Philadelphia newscaster Alycia Lane - who cried to Dr. Phil about her divorce and e-mailed bikini shots of herself to a married NFL sportscaster - is now charged with assaulting a New York police officer.

"Does ... trouble find her? Yeah," Gov. Ed Rendell, who calls himself a friend, told sports radio station WIP-AM. "From what little I know about her entire life, she's had some difficult times, and I guess you could say some of her own making."

The lithe and attractive Lane has been a staple of local TV and gossip columns since she came to the CBS affiliate KYW in Philadelphia in 2003, carrying the nickname "The Latina Bombshell." She is of Puerto Rican heritage.

The 35-year-old may or may not have courted the publicity, but she certainly didn't shy away from it.

"She's been seen much more by the media in the light of a glamour girl than as a journalist," said Gail Shister, a longtime TV columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer. "She didn't do much to dissuade that notion."

====================

Sorry but watching this woman dig her own grave is knee-slapping hilarious.

1. Love the last line of that article.

Shister is not optimistic about Lane's chances for keeping her job.

"To quote my old friend Dan Rather, her chances are slim and none - and slim just left town," Shister said.

2. Sounds like a substance abuse problem to me
Let's hope she gets some help before she's so discredited even Wal Mart won't take a chance on her.

4. "Trouble" is not FINDING her. That makes it sound like it's not her fault.
She's causing her own trouble.
And she probably needs some kind of psychiatric or rehab help, but then again, maybe she's just a jerk.
