Following is a list of women in the public eye who, I think, don't get enough notice about their beauty.
8. Molly Shannon
Best-known work: “Saturday Night Live”, “A Night at the Roxbury”
Why I like her: She’s not afraid – comedically. At SNL she let everyone see her underwear as Mary Katherine Gallagher. There’s a lot going on behind her dark hair and all of it is intended to make you laugh.
Interesting fact: When she was 4, was in a car accident that killed her mother.
Best feature: Her sense of humor
7. Soledad O’Brien
Best-known work: “The Site”, “MSNBC Morning Blend”, “American Morning”
Why I like her: I remember watching the events of a tragedy (don’t remember which one). She confidently introduced ‘someone on the phone’ who had pertinent information about the subject at hand. The caller announced that Howard Stern wanted to sleep with her and she dismissed the caller without breaking stride.
Interesting fact: Her birthday is 3 days after mine… same year!
Best feature: Her brain
6. Kari Byron
Best-known work: “MythBusters”
Why I like her: Mostly because of the work that she does on the show. She’s a problem-solver; she’s smart, sexy and funny. The fact that she’s a redhead doesn’t hurt either.
Interesting fact: She’s married to Christopher Cross. Yes, THAT Christopher Cross.
Best feature: Her smile
5. Serena Altschul (this is not the best picture of her)
Best-known work: “MTV News Correspondent”, “CBS Sunday Morning”
Why I like her: It is my distinct opinion that she and Kurt Loder together gave MTV News the only credibility they ever had. She has also worked with Dan Rather and Aaron Brown. Who else can say that?
Interesting fact: Attended a prep school in New York with singer Rufus Wainwright.
Best feature: Her voice
4. Bonnie Bernstein
Best known work: Side-line report for CBS Sports
Why I like her: Any woman who can confidently talk about football earns many brownie points in my book. How great would it be to have sex with her and then talk about how the quarterback picks up a blind-side blitz? Nice.
Interesting fact: She’s a classically trained pianist
Best feature: Her hair
3. Maura Tierney
Best-known work: “NewsRadio”, “Liar Liar”, “ER”
Why I like her: She’s always seemed approachable. She has comfortable quality that makes her appear to be easy to have a conversation with. Great smile, great laugh.
Interesting fact: She and her husband own a pug named Rose-Kennedy that they take everywhere they go.
Best feature: Her overall warm features (hair, eyes, smile, etc.)
2. Mila Kunis
Best-known work: “That 70’s Show”, “Family Guy (voice of Meg)”
Why I like her: Somehow she got first billing (with Topher Grace) on “That 70’s Show”. I don’t know how she did that; it seemed to me she was a bit player. Goes to show you how much I know. She plays a ‘screechy’ character on her show but you know she’s not like that in real life.
Interesting fact: She was born in Ukraine and learned to speak English by watching “The Price Is Right”
Best feature: Her lips

1. Jacqueline Obradors
Best-known work: “Six Days, Seven Nights”, “NYPD Blue”
Why I like her: Just look at her – she’s amazing. I just want to curl up in her eyes. She has this nice Latina softness when she talks. Unfortunately, she plays a throwaway character on this show called “Freddie” (don’t bother looking it up, by the time you read this, it probably won’t be on anymore). I’m glad to see her try comedy, though.
Interesting fact: Once appeared in Playboy (still trying to find the pics).
Best feature: Those big brown beautiful eyes.
