In our hyperactive modern news cycle, some seemingly one-dimensional stories turn out to be gifts that keep on giving, at least partially due to the egos of the subject matters. And Brooke Hundley seems to be going out of her way to be one of those precious gifts. The "tubby temptress" who had an affair with former ESPN broadcaster Steve Phillips is suing the company for defamation, and appeared on the CBS Early Show to try to take control of the reins of the story, as well as damn ESPN for their sexist practices.
"Tubby Temptress" Rails Against ESPN's Sexist Culture
Gothamist Visits Fox & Friends
We recently visited Fox News Channel’s morning show Fox & Friends. Unlike most of the other morning shows it is a freewheeling kind of crazy romp that definitely has “Fox attitude”.
NYC Loves Subway Hero Wesley Autrey
Two days after Wesley Autey jumped into subway tracks to save another straphanger from an oncoming train, everyone still wants to hear his story. With good reason: Not only is it an incredibly heroic story, Autrey's matter-of-fact explanation for his actions ("it's just being able to be here and help the next person.") and his humble demeanor:
"I don't think I did anything heroic. I just saved a life. I don't call myself a hero because the real heroes are overseas dying for you and me."Autrey was on CBS's Early Show, which had a crazy computer re-creation of the save. And the re-creation doesn't even show how the savee, NY Film Academy freshman Cameron Hollopeter, was having a seizure at the time!
The Price Is Right
In this week's weather media wrap up wed like to discuss the now famous face of Dave Price. This once local weatherman, now the CBS Early Show's national weather guy, seems to be doing quite well for himself. A lot of New Yorkers are ambivalent about Dave and Gothamist understands why. Hes such a nerd and not in the hip way but in the 'a bit clueless to pop culture' way. However, there are some other things that you might not know about him that could help you understand him better AND hopefully like him.
