Channel 7's
Elita Loresca won the title ''America's Sexiest Newscaster'' in an online vote by readers of
FHM magazine. Loresca is pictured in the October issue -- in rather revealing attire.
''Elita has done more than Ace Ventura to protect South Florida,'' the magazine quips. ``And she has also done it with a better figure than Al Roker.''
Loresca, 29, born in the Philippines, is a former obit writer for The Orange County Register, FHM says.
Among Loresca's quotes: ``People in Miami embrace curves. . . . Here, I can wear a cute sweater and still be professional.''
She also talks about getting hired at Channel 7. 'When I auditioned, they wanted to know if I could deal with anything thrown my way -- then we had hurricanes every week for my first six weeks. I repeated stuff I heard the night before on The Weather Channel; I'd mention `northeast quadrant' because it sounded smart. I even went to the bookstore and got a copy of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Weather.''
From the Q & A:
Is life in the newsroom like Anchorman? ``It is so like Anchorman. To people watching, everything you see looks professional. They don't know what happens on set. This morning we were singing Nelly Furtado's Promiscuous before we cut to a breaking story about President Bush talking about North Korea.''

Janet Jackson though, seems like she's on every mag's cover lately.
