Chicago Swimsuit Controversy Way More Fun Than Ours

071207newsbabe.jpg
While she might not attract quite the desire our own bikini-clad newsbabe does, Chicago's Amy Jacobson did do one thing Alycia Lane didn't: She released the photos. Or, rather, the video got out.

Well, okay, the situation is a little different. Jacobson was covering the disappearance of a man's wife for CBS 5 in Chicago and showed up at his house in a swimsuit. Then, somebody took video and Channel 5's rival, Channel 2, broadcast the video online and Jacobson eventually resigned from the station. (She says she made a "horrible mistake." Gasp!)

Meanwhile, Alycia Lane has yet to show up in a swimsuit, one-piece or bikini, anywhere. But it's apparently okay to joke with her about it, as the owner of a Bala Cynwyd gym put on Kerri-Lee Halkett's bikini top in order to make fun of Alycia Lane.

Lane took a photo and will now be showing it to friends who ask to see her bikini photos, apparently. If she issues a press release announcing the release of her fake bikini photos... well, it's be funny, but disappointing, I guess.

So apparently local TV news personalities are just as weird in real life as they are on TV.
