[edit] Current

Sibila Vargas is an entertainment correspondent for CNN/U.S based in CNN's Los Angeles bureau. Vargas is also a regular guest on American Morning's "90 Second Pop" and Anderson Cooper 360°.

Since joining CNN in March 2004, Vargas has reported on several key entertainment events, including Fox network's reality show American Idol and the finale of the NBC sitcom Friends.

She made a name for herself in the blogosphere with a magnificently hostile 2006 interview with Neil Young, in which she questioned his patriotism for his having criticized George W. Bush. Miss Vargas suggested that Neil Young was criticizing the president in order to sell records, and expressed her outrage that a "Canadian" with "less of a platform to say these things" would speak openly about America without considering the "backlash".[1]
