City of Los Angeles: June 2009 Archives
Above: Lu Parker of KTLA interviews Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa in a photo seen on the Channel 5 anchor's blog. A Channel 4 photographer filmed them together recently in the Larchmont district.
I'm just going to throw this item out there: Via LA Observed, a Channel 4 blog (which according to Kevin Roderick of LAO is "not to be confused with KNBC News") reports that L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has been spotted around town in a non-official capacity with KTLA (Channel 5) anchorwoman (and ex-Miss USA) Lu Parker.
There has been no confirmation one way or the other as to the nature of Villaraigosa and Parker's relationship/connection/whatever-you-call-it.
While Villaraigosa's previous relationship with a television anchorwoman did little for his political career (or seemingly the rest of his life), he's not married now, and according to Lu Parker's blog, she "lives in Los Angeles with her cat and dog," and I take that to mean she's single, so and if there is something there, there won't be any tectonic shifts in the L.A. political landscape.
As for the L.A. journalism landscape, I'll leave it to KTLA to sort out how they're going to handle this (if there in fact really is a this).
I'll leave it to you, dear reader, to click on the Channel 4 link to see the actual picture of the two at a bookstore in the Larchmont district.
The blog seems a bit incredulous about Lu Parker having her own blog, but in the interest of photographic immediacy, check out the photo of Ms. Parker interviewing Mr. Mayor (which can be quickly found here) from that very blog.
