After caving to intense pressure from women's rights groups, the major sports networks began an experiment by hiring sexy women to announce major sports competitions from the sidelines. The experiment failed miserably due to two simple truths: no matter how sexy she is, a feminine voice is too distracting to men while they're watching testosterone-filled sports.

Rapper Bow Wow finally has a verifiable source of income so he can catch up on his child support payments. I'm just kidding. Bow Wow and Houston native Miss Mykie were named co-hosts of BET's longest running music video program 106 & Park following the departure of longtime co-hosts Rocsi Diaz and Terrence J.
Bow Wow and Miss Mykie will share hosting duties with Ashanti lookalike Paigion and Soulja Boy lookalike Shorty Da Prince.
Bow Wow, 25, earned the nickname "Mr. 106 & Park" due to his frequent appearances on the youth-oriented show over the years.
AS I told you last month, Miss Mykie was being groomed by BET to take over the hosting duties, according to a well-connected industry insider.
But BET didn't want you to know that. They wanted you to believe that Miss Mykie was auditioning for the part alongside other hopefuls, when in reality she already had the gig.
According to an industry insider, BET is grooming Atlanta rapper Miss Mykie to take over the '106 & Park' hosting duties from outgoing co-hosts Rocsi Diaz and Terrence J. According to the insider, BET is "cleaning house" in advance of Rocsi and Terrence's departure. Miss Mykie is among the fresh new faces that the BET honchos are looking for to revive sagging TV ratings.
