Courtney Friel has just been hired by Fox News as their new substitute anchor and news correspondent. Jossip calls her the Pamela Anderson of on-site reporting.

Friel, age 26, was born in Philadelphia and always wanted to be on TV even as a little girl. Before taking this job she was best known for being a host on the World Poker Tour. She has a B.A. in political science and appeared in the March 2006 issue of FHM. She's married to freelance reporter Carter Evans and lives in Los Angeles now. Here's a video clip she put up on YouTube.
