Οι Γαλλιδούλες με τα ωραία τους ... Πάρο και Σαντορίνη, πρωτοετής φοιτήτρια νομικής, αξέχαστη Grenoble, ωραία κρασιά, εύθυμοι ανθρώποι, οι επαρχιώτες

A compilation of video clips of Mélissa Theuriau, the French news reporter that has been called the ... most beautiful in the world. Don't speak French? I doubt you'll care.



Mélissa Theuriau (born 18 July 1978, in Échirolles, suburb of the south of Grenoble, France) is a French journalist. She has been called the most beautiful newscaster in the world, and has a cult following in the United States and the United Kingdom.

After one year of Law school, Theuriau graduated from the Institut de la Communication et des Médias, Université Stendhal - Grenoble III at Échirolles. She made her breakthrough as a newscaster and travel show host for LCI, the news channel and for TF1. Her programs were LCI Matin (LCI Morning), the 6:40 news on LCI and TF1 from Monday to Thursday and the Voyages (travel) show on Wednesdays at 13:55 on LCI.

In May 2006, she surprised the management of TF1 by refusing the offer to be the anchorwoman of the weekend evening news of TF1, as a summer replacement for sitting anchorwoman Claire Chazal. In June 2006, M6, another French television channel, announced her arrival for September as editor in chief and presenter of Zone interdite, a weekly magazine show featuring investigative reporting. She also presents Un jour, une Photo et 2, 3 jours avec moi on the french TV channel Paris Première.






Interviewed by Florence Dauchez on French program, January 07.

Translation from 6:17 to 7:01

- Can we say that today you are a bit "trapped" by your beauty ? It's maybe just a suspicion. Yes, a suspicion. Are you not just a looker that people display because "Melissa sells" ? Yes, in fact some people wonder if you have anything of a real journalist.
- Well, if that is your opinion, .... I really don't think I...
- No, i'm just telling you what papers say...
- No, I think it's a luck. I think I can manage, at least take the good decisions for the future [they are talking of Melissa's career] and for the things I want to do. I did it quite well until now. I have everything I could wish for, at least concerning my job and the responsibilities I have. So this is all trivial detail. I dont read those papers, so it's just funny that you talking about that, but I... that's it.

Haven Help!

Posted by Picasa
On a steep rock upon a dark cliff
water crossing Europe's midriff
crusaders walking this valley of death
following Huns horses hoofsteps
Today one can see, hear, touch the evil
laying at the mountain's harsh dream bed
watching the shadows of ghosts of the past,
bellringers of despair from Earth to Haven.
