Due to the awful attacks in Mumbai, [Sara Sidner](http://cgi.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/sidner.sara.html) of CNN is getting a lot of airtime in this country at least. My god that woman is hot. She’s intelligent, articulate, gutsy and hot hot hotty hot hot. Right? I mean, please. Hot. 😃 Cartooniverse ---

Moving thread from IMHO to Cafe Society. _Is_ hot. ---

She’s no [Soledad O’brien](http://www.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/obrien.soledad.html), but I’d go for her over Katie Couric. ---

It’s so subjective. I’d say she _is_ on par with Soledad. Or, above par. Hot. Hot !! ---

She is hot. IMO hotter than Soledad, albeit not by much. ---

They’re both attractive. I’d not call either hot, though. ---

Your linked pic is the first and only time I’ve seen her and based on that I’d have to agree that she is indeed Hot. ---

> [@Sara's Bio](#): > > She was raised by her mother and together they have traveled the globe to countries such as Colombia, Peru, Spain, Australia, France, England, Guatemala, the Bahamas & India. She adores animals especially monkeys, horses and big cats. Sounds like a whole passel o’ woman. ---

The pic linked in the OP reveals that Sara Sidner is an attractive woman. At the same time, ISTM that particular photo does not really flatter her. Soledad O’Brien’s photo up top is nowhere near her best look either. She is breathtaking, IMHO. ---

We get to see her in CNN International broadcasts. That picture linked in the OP does her no justice. 😃 However, the CNN International anchor I’m in love with is [Anjali Rao](http://cgi.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/rao.anjali.html). 🙂 ---

I personally find Paula Zahn unbelievably gorgeous (even though she is a bit autumnal for my tastes) - it’s something about the mouth/jaw area. Her beauty is especially notable to me since blondes aren’t really my thing. ---

Obligatory Mellissa Theuriaux link below, when she was a newsreader. The candidates in this thread are a bit bland and generic by comparison. [http://www.fresh99.com/news-anchor-melissa-theuriau.htm](http://www.fresh99.com/news-anchor-melissa-theuriau.htm) ---
