[edit] TechTV

Could someone link this somehow to TechTV's information, I had to IMDB ZDTVnews (1998) to find her. --x1987x 01:15, 9 October 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Heritage

Is she mixed with asian blood? I often think so.

No, she's not mixed with Asian blood.

what do u mean no? she does, she's either part Asian, Latino or Native-American...

What I mean is no, her ancestry does not include Asian, Latino, or Native-American. I know her family, trust me on this.

Wow, it's hard to believe/trust u on that!!! To me she looks a little asian/latino/or native... maybe it's very distant or something... so does Dog Chapman's son Leland, but everyone disagrees with me on that one also... I dunno it's possible she's all white and looks a little asian...

It's more than possible that she has no asian heritage. There is such a wide variety of exotic Caucasian phenomes originating in Europe...I know plenty of folks who have similar appearances. Very attractive, in my opinion.
Also, I would remind everyone to please sign their comments using ~~~~. Thanks! -- Huntster T@C 23:19, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
It's also more than possible that she has "some" asian or amerindian heritage in her despite her family's non-inclusion of that heritage in their family tree. MIllions of Caucasians living in the Americas today have native ancestry, but they have not connection to their distant roots because for whatever reason it was never carried down as a basis of heritage. On a similar note, millions of Eurpeans of non-Anglecized origin (meaning descent from Colonial British settlers) adopted or changed their surnames to more English-sounding names completely erasing any hints of their "Old World" heritage while immersing themselves into the contemporary American Identity at the time. I don't buy your assertion that she's a Caucasian with "exotic" Caucasoidal phenomes originating in Europe. Sounds neat, but it rings false.--68.164.86.74 22:17, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
You may be right, and my statement was of course just speculation. I doubt we'll ever know for sure. In the meantime, just sit back and enjoy! Though, who knows how long she'll put up with that arse Glenn Beck ;) -- Huntster T@C 22:41, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pregnant?

There have been rumors circulating that she's pregnant. Does anybody have any info on this? Mysticfeline 03:45, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Good grief. Do any of you actually watch Prime News? Either way, seeing as how there aren't any websites that keep a list of pregnant news anchors, those "rumors" must be false. :D </sarcasm> *Waves to Huntster* Lmz00 21:09, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Waves back* ;) Seriously though, I work during the broadcast so I cannot verify pregnancy or no. The problem with the "(and pregnant)" bit is that there is nothing included to act as a kind of source. Now, I understand it's hard to cite the program as a whole, but if she really is pregnant, you could put something such as "Hill appears to have become pregnant, as can be witnessed during her television program" (though, word it better please). Include *something* to back up the statement. Kind of ironic, my workplace has the internet but no televisions. Sigh. -- Huntster T@C 22:11, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Sucks. :( Well, I updated it. I hope it's to your liking. jk :P Lmz00 02:55, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that looks quite good! I've added the cite needed tag so people will keep an eye out for any publications which confirm this. -- Huntster T@C 05:13, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, she is pregnant and expecting in mid november. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.54.79.177 (talk • contribs) 14:38, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Do you have anything to cite that with? aka, where was that revealed? -- Huntster T@C 08:07, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Source is her husband and the father . . . —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hoops87 (talk • contribs) 10:20, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

No, I mean, is there any source that can be cited, aka, a newspaper or magazine or reputable website, etc. Word of mouth does not qualify. -- Huntster T@C 21:53, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I understand, but I am the husband and the father to be - seems to be a bit more than word of mouth but if you really need a link, here is a recent article: http://www2.townonline.com/somerville/entertainment/view.bg?articleid=581398 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hoops87 (talk • contribs) 08:19, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Excellent, thank you for the article. I'll make the appropriate changes and citation. Please understand that requesting a source isn't an affront. We have no way to verify who you are, and so the written word from reputable sources is needed to back that up. This site desires to present encyclopaedic articles with verifiable information. Though, if you are the husband, then congratulations on this event! I'll still ask for a written source when the happy day arrives ;) -- Huntster T@C 14:17, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

No worries - we'll keep Wikipedia updated!
