Megyn Kendall and Brit Hume? (cough)


Juicy! What's in the water at Fox News Channel? It's like wife-swap city over there.

Pretty Megyn Kendall, now Megyn Kelly, and....drumroll.....smarmy, oldster Brit Hume? What is it with these Fox guys...maybe they're taking too much Viagra (they ARE the target demographic, after all). (Can't get it up) Bill O', and now Brit? Who's next, Hannity? (could you imagine? yuck!)

Who's sorry now? Not sure, yet. But it's juicy and reminiscent of Bill O' and his alleged, disgusting, loofah experience that cost him, what, about $2M in hush money?

Radar has it all and here's a most telling piece of the story: Moreover, getting involved with an underling is virtually par for the course for Fox higher-ups. Rupert Murdoch, chairman of FNC parent News Corp., embarked on an affair with his current wife, Wendi Deng, when she was an employee of the Star TV affiliate, and married her in 1999. Roger Ailes, now chairman of Fox Television Stations, divorced his second wife, Norma, in 1995 and went onto marry his current wife, Beth Tilson, who had been his second-in-command at America's Talking. And star pundit Bill O'Reilly famously described elaborate sexual fantasies over the phone to one of his producers, Andrea Mackris, leading to a harassment allegations and a settlement of undisclosed size (reportedly around $2 million).
