Your fav long hair talking Head

Sharyn Alfonsi from ABC.

I'm in with Natalie Morales, NBC/MSNBC. Alex Witt, CNN is a close second.

Nice topic, Mike. I should have done this moons ago. Sorry, I can't limit this to one or a few. I present my top 20, subject to change at any moment, of course.

1. Lourdes Stephen of Univision. She has to have the longest hair among any newsbabe. And I think it's all real.

2. Barbara Bermudo of Univision. I'd list her at No. 1, but I think her hair includes some extensions. Still I love hearing her say "Bar-bar-uh Burr-moo-doh." And what a body!

3. Carol Costello of CNN. Carol has some bad hair days, but typically looks wonderful. Actually, Carol is my favorite CNN newsbabe and can do no wrong, so scratch the "bad hair days" comment.

4. Alex Witt of MSNBC. I occasionally see old photos of Alex when she had shorter hair and wonder why it took her so long to grow it. Very sexy.

5. Neida Sandoval of Univision. She's the morning newsbabe on "Despierta America." I like her hair better straight than curly or wavy, and in her natural dark color rather than highlights, but she is a solid pick in the top five.

6. Molly Line of Fox. Not as long as some of the others, but always very healthy looking. Her hair and her natural beauty make a wonderful combination.

7. Jill Rappaport of NBC. She's more of an entertainment reporter, but I've been in lust with her hair since the first time I saw it.

8. Laura Ingle of Fox. Picture singer Juice Newton in her hey day. Laura is the spitting image, down to the hair.

9. Carmen Dominicci of Univision. If she was on more often, she'd be listed even higher, although truth be told, I'm more into her amazing eyes than her hair.

10. Karla Martinez of Univision. Karla was in my top two last month, but she got rid of her soft golden color and switched to black, which is most likely closer to her natural color, but some how looks fake. At least she kept most of the length.

11. Janice Dean of Fox. If weather babes can be part of this list, Janice is No. 1 among weather babes. Nothing fancy, but her hair always looks great. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Janice.

12. Juliet Huddy of Fox. If newsbabes turned talkshow hosts are allowed, Juliet fits here. I love that she talks about enjoying herself with long hair and even wore amazing extensions through some of her show's early months. She's on the grow.

13. Contessa Brewer of MSNBC. She's my favorite newsbabe on that network. I love her hair. Loved even more when it was longer.

14. Robin Meade of CNN HLN. I know her hair is filled with extensions, but it's just so perfect most days.

15. Becky Quick of CNBC. Becky would not have been on this list a year ago, but she continues to let her hair grow and I can't remember her looking better.

16. Natalie Morales of NBC. I wouldn't necessarily consider her hair long, but it generally looks great.

17. Jenna Lee of Fox. I'd have her higher up, but she cut it some around the time the Fox business network debuted.

18. Christi Paul of CNN HLN. She's the perfect substitute when Robin Meade is MIA. Nice blonde locks, generally kept roots free.

19. Alison Stewart of MSNBC. If she's still with that network, she belongs on this list -- and probably higher than 19th. Her curly hair is great. Her straight hair melted me.

20 (tie). Rebecca Gomez of Fox and Nancy O'Dell of Access Hollywood. I've always been a fan of Rebecca. And yet, I'd probably rank her higher if her show didn't air out of a bar setting. I just hate the thought of her hair smelling like a smoky bar. If Nancy counts, she belongs in the top 20.

Honorable mention:

Linda Stouffer of CNN HLN (If she keeps letting her hair grow -- especially those bangs -- she's in; Linda is my favorite newsbabe on CNN HLN)

Megan Kelly of Fox (she tries but her hair has to be filled with extensions)

Betty Nguyen of CNN (great hair, but just when it looks spectacular, she gets it cut)

Satcha Pretto of Univision (how many newsbabes that you can't understand can you include on this list anyway?)

Past 20 members until their fall from grace:

Monica Crowley (Bob, you said it with Monica. She would have been No. 1 on my list before cutting her gorgeous blonde mane into nothing special whatsoever)

Ann Curry (Locks of Love wins; I lose)

Brigitte Quinn of Fox (her hair is getting a tad shorter every time I see her. stop already!)

Rudi Bakhtiar (I'm not sure if Rudi is still with Fox, but she was in my top five during her best years on the air, lower than that after she cut it shorter).

Note to self: If Maria Shriver and Kathleen Kennedy ever return to the air, add them back on the list.
