Rich Eisen Receives Bikini Pics of Hot "Platonic" Friend; Wife Reads His E-mail, Finds Them, Freaks Out
The TV reporter who sent NFL Network anchor Rich Eisen revealing photos of herself in a bikini - and got an hilarious, bitter e-mail response from Eisen's wife (who found them on their shared account) - says the pics are "harmless pictures" that "friends" swap.
Alycia Lane, an anchor at Philadelphia's CBS affiliate KYW-TV, just sent a statement to TMZ saying that she and Rich Eisen have been "purely platonic" friends "for almost 10 years" and that they "regularly exchange e-mail and photos."
THG NOTE: Chances are, they're not quite like Katie Rees photos. But they do feature Alycia Lane in bikini, apparently.
The New York Post reports that they exchanged "seven e-mails and several bikini photos" from Lane, which went into the account shared by the ESPN anchor and wife Suzy Shuster.
Nice. Suzy Shuster, in a letter obtained by the Post, hissed back at Lane:
"Boy, do you look amazing in a bikini ... congrats! Whatever you're doing, (Pilates? yoga?) keep doing it - it's working for you ... sorry but those seven e-mails you sent to my husband, Rich, well, oops, they came to the e-mail address we both use from time to time."
Oh snap! And to make matters worse, Shuster forwarded Rich Eisen's personal email address, "since you surely are trying so hard to get attention."
KYW-TV says it won't be taking any punitive action against Lane. Calls to Eisen and Shuster weren't returned. ESPN's Sports Guy and Sports Gal have not commented yet, either.
Last week, we learned a valuable lesson, courtesy of Alec Baldwin: If you tear your pre-teen daughter a new one, don't do so in the form of an insane tirade on her voicemail, where it can be recirculated endlessly over the Internet.
Today's lesson is along somewhat similar lines. Moderately hot bikini pics are all well and good, but before sending them to your married friends, make sure their wives don't also access that e-mail address. Do your homework.

Too bad sooo few of the viewers know what an unstable person alycia lane is. she presents an alter ego on the news and her station promotes her as if she is thsi worldly prompter reader. But sadly that is all she is. She has trouble initiating anything on her own and constantly blows up at people when she is in a bad mood day. She has little regard for the people who try to make her look good on camera…one more example in a list of how Alycia treats people around her. And the reason she Can't stay married…guys, let's NOT blame it on long distance or her ex cheating behind her back as she claims. Alycia has a pattern of "choosing" wrong situations. Why? Because she is unstable. Only wish she would come clean and admit that she has a problem deeper than can be fixed on DR PHIL (before she wrecks more marriages)

Do people know that alycia lane is actually a very difficult person to work with? I doubt it. Guys- she is so difficult and she lacks the grace and charm required of an anchor in this business. She is not that great looking in person…trust me. She is all hyped up by cbs which is NUMBER 3 in ratings for its news division

Anyone know why CBS created a Woman's View with ALycia (the HIGH MAINTENANCE QUEEN) LANE?
The station realized Early on Lane WAS NOT CLICKING with female viewers (because women don't get diverted by ms. lane's looks as easily as heterosexual men)...gee I wonder why women don't like Alycia Lane...it's not just instinct.
Alycia's former boss who hired her originally defended the Lane at all costs cuz he thought he had a shot at banging her. Well he didn't.
When Gail SHister wrote stuff about Alycia that didn't please Alycia--Alycia complained to her boss who threatened Shister (trust us--those of in the know know Alycia is a catty type who will dump even on Gail SHister the Queen of Talk in Philly). So Alycia complained and her former boss who is now at wcbs screamed at SHister and warned he would destroy her image. So Shister laid off. Same thing with Stu Bykofsky.
So ALL U GUYS WHO DON"T KNOW THE REAL ALYCIA__WISEN UP. THE REAL ALYCIA IS A PAIN THE ARSE.
BOTTOM LINE: IF ALYCIA WERE THAT GREAT IN BED DON"T U THINK ONE OF HER FORMER 10 Ex Husbands would have given her all the money in the world to hold onto her p--sy??
