David Muir Ups the Heat Index

And I thought MY PHOTO of him in spin class was hot!

Smear Campaign on David Muir?

Does the "World News Tonight" anchorman's sexuality play into this gossip item?

The Daily News reports:

Insiders at ABC are partly blaming the ratings decline for “World News Tonight With David Muir” on the anchor’s makeup, with one insider telling Confidenti@l he “looks like an Oompa Loopa” on air. “David insisted on doing his own makeup for years before he got the big job at ‘World News,’ and old habits die hard,” said our source. “David likes to do [his foundation] himself and needs to be told that you can be too orange. His color is off.” Muir has gone through two makeup artists at the network since he got the top job, but still insists on doing his own final touches after the professional is finished. “He’s been told that he cannot touch his face anymore, but he can’t help himself,” says our source. “He’s been told that he has to let the makeup people do their job. He isn’t allowed to do his own anymore,” adds the source. Muir’s newscast has been clobbered in the ratings by Lester Holt, who took over NBC’s “Nightly News” after the Brian Williams debacle, but ABC bosses have focused on Muir’s appearance instead. “They don’t know how to fix the problem, so they’ve become obsessed with (Muir’s) makeup,” says our source.

And all this time I thought we were supposed to be good at that kind of thing.

It was only last week Muir was being called "Anchor Monster" by anonymous peers. Anyone know if she's as villainous as she's being made out to be?

Bar None

David Muir and Colin Jost are just two of Esquire's "Guys Who've Had a Great Year." The rest of the men plus some sexy outtakes shot in bars around the city by photographer Aaron Richter HERE.

Too De Muir?

With David Muir's ascension to the top of "ABC World News," the Internet is buzzing with opinions about the handsome anchorman, which has been a windfall of traffic to my blog thanks to my post about possible plastic surgery HERE, his hunky muscles HERE, just how handsome he is HERE, what he would look like with a hairy chest HERE and how it's an open secret he's gay HERE.

My friend Jim writes:

As I read this New York Times story about Muir starting as one of the Big Three news anchors this week, I thought it was odd the paper didn't mention that he's gay. After all, that's another huge first in big-time broadcast journalism. Anderson Cooper's out, of course, but he's not at broadcasting's pinnacle. Then I Googled around and discovered that, while it's an open secret in New York City's gay community, Muir has never actually confirmed it. 

And the media webiste NewsBlues opines:

"His earnestness seems practiced. His stories always seem to revolve around him as a main character. In fact, his self-absorbed presentation captures a younger generation's image of what a TV reporter should be. In the age of social media, news is "all about me."

What do you think of David Muir -- and do you think his sexuality needs to be addressed?

David Muir on Top

Congats to David Muir, who has just been named Diane Sawyer's successor to host "ABC World News." THIS PHOTO of him in a spin class brings me more hits than any other, and I think it's because details about the handsome journalist's personal life have remained elusive. My understanding is that he is openly gay in his day-to-day life -- which makes his anointment all the more groundbreaking. Email me, David -- don't pull another Anderson Cooper!

Flex appeal

WARNING: You'll be sobbing so hard by the time it's over you might not even notice how sexy David Muir looks in scrubs ...

Fake Fur

I've never really understood people who like to Photoshop imaginary shirtless photos and c**k shots of celebrities. But if this inspires ABC hottie David Muir to release the real deal, I'm not going to complain! 

David Muir Spins Me 'Round (Like a Record)

While the rest of you girls were drooling over Anderson Cooper and counting the seconds till he came out, I've been busy keeping tabs on this piece of ass, whose homosexuality is an open secret in LGBT circles.

The Muir Thing

  While I will miss having the chance to ogle Chris Cuomo on a weekly basis, I think David Muir will be a fine replacement! Read HERE.

Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are

Today's a great day to come out of the closet ... or not. Whatever's right for you.

David Muir: Before and After

The hunky yet not quite out of the closet anchorman is handsome any way you slice it. And how hot does he look HERE and HERE?

Morning Wood: David Muir

It's no secret that I have an anchorman fetish (Brian Williams, anyone?), but David Muir might just be the dreamiest one yet. (Hat tip to Whine & Cheese for finding the Men's Vogue pix on top!)

Page 1 Consider (03/26)

Anderson Who? After disappearing from the broadcasting landscape for a few years, onetime "World News Now" hottie David Muir has been signed to become anchor of "World News Saturday" and co-anchor of "Primetime." Working the wacky hours I do, I've fallen asleep with David many a night. It's good to see he's back. (MediaBistro)

She Can't Handle the Truth! Did you catch this Sunday's Modern Love in The Times? It's an excerpt from the forthcoming fag-hag diaries, "Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys," about a girl who is convinced a gay guy she seduced is her soulmate, but you can't help but wonder what kind of editorial judgment went into the cartoon of the star-crossed lovers whose thought bubbles both reveal a secret lust for a young Tom Cruise. (NYT)

K-Dub: Guess who's having the Best.Gay.Week.Ever? (AfterElton)

Me! Me! Me! Let's see, this stupid bitch named Sara Wheeler decides she's no longer a lesbian so she wants the courts to undo all of the rights that she thought she was entitled to when she "was" a lesbian. I'm not sure she's broken any laws, but given the fact that she lives in Georgia do you think capital punishment is an option for this one? (AP)

Move Over, Fabio: Harlequin, the world's biggest publisher of romance novels, inspected the assets of about 200 men who lined up at a Toronto casting house on Saturday to prove they could flutter readers' hearts better than professional models. "We want real men ... exactly what you think in your mind when you're fantasizing or imagining that ideal man," said spokeswoman Marleah Stout. You mean "real" men don't walk around with long frosted locks and spray-on tans? (Reuters)

Houston BBQ: Another one of those crimes that just makes you lose faith in humanity: a 19-year-old Texas A&M University student was killed by her ex-boyfriend, who then dismembered and burned her body on a patio grill, authorities said Saturday. Investigators say Timothy Wayne Shepherd, 27, confessed Wednesday to strangling Tynesha Stewart because he was angry she had begun a new relationship. Shepherd, who is charged with murder, is being held on $250,000 bond. (AP)

The Greatest Benefit: A glitzy gala to raise money for Parkinson's research was held Saturday night in Phoenix. Sharon Stone Donald Trump, Steve Nash, John Elway, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Doug Flutie, Michael Irvin, Vince Young and Kurt Warner were among the guests at Celebrity Fight Night, which has raised more than $38 million since its inception in 1994, with much of the money going to the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center at Barrow Neurological Institute. Diana Ross looked fabulous escorting in The Greatest on the red carpet. Let's just hope The Boss didn't head off to that Blockbuster in Tucson after the party. (AP)

Courting a Lawsuit: The Largo, Fla., city commissioners who voted to fire its city manager who is seeking a sex-change operation, Steve Stanton, after his announcement that he planned to transition, had this to say about their decision: "You have to believe us, you have to trust us, it is not about transgenderism." I don't believe you. I don't trust you. I can't wait till you get your ass dragged into court. (AP)
