From the AP story on CTV.ca:

 No longer breaking stories in high heels and skimpy outfits, Lauren Jones has signed off from the KYTX-TV "Eye of East Texas'' news team and returned to modelling swimsuits.

Rival stations in Tyler weren't entertained by the month-long ratings stunt by Jones, the star behind the upcoming Fox reality show "Anchorwoman'' and a former hostess for World Wrestling Entertainment.

She spent June traipsing around the east Texas city in tight tops and a miniskirt, hunting down scoops for the CBS affiliate. Her on-air reports, which included toeing through penguin droppings at the zoo in stiletto heels, are intended to get laughs when "Anchorwoman'' premieres Aug. 21.

"She definitely wasn't your typical, Day 1, trying-to-break-into-the-business newsperson,'' said Bryan Houston, a KYTX anchor who worked alongside the 24-year-old former New York beauty pageant contestant.

Not everyone was smiling. Residents of the rural area 160 kilometres east of Dallas worry that "Anchorwoman'' will portray their city as backwoods.

And news professionals said the show will further blur the line between news and entertainment.
