Apparently Alycia Lane Has No Sense Of Humor

The New York Post is quickly becoming your number one source for Alycia Lane news and gossip. One might think the New York tabloids, having actual celebrities to report on, would be uninterested in a Philadelphia news anchor, but, uh, she sent bikini photos to Rich Eisen? Okay, I’m still a little stumped on this one.

Lane was slated to emcee Phillymag’s Best of Philly™ party last night, but it turns out the mag named her Best Pen Pal in this year’s issue, a nod to (what else) emailed bikini photos. Lane was so enraged she pulled out of hosting the event. Editor Larry Platt to Page Six: “Alycia called and told me it was a low blow and cheap shot.”

What have we learned here? Well, (1) Alycia Lane won’t be showing up at any Philadelphia Will Do gatherings anytime soon, and (2) Alycia Lane … doesn’t like jokes, I guess? Aw, forget this. I like a woman my newsanchor to laugh and understand the game. Kerri-Lee Halkett and Jennaphr Frederick rolled with the punches and said “We love D-Mac” on air. Fuck this other noise.

Update: Whoops, Dan Gross had this last week and I somehow missed it. (Sorry!) I love that Alycia Lane is making the New York gossip pages but gets second billing behind Jonesy in the AM in the Daily News. Of course, Jonesy’s book deserves to get name above the title:

The book, which also details her relationship with rapper Busta Rhymes, described as a well-endowed but selfish lover, is littered with spelling errors, mostly names, including that of “Philadelphia Mayor Shaun Street.”
