Is Erin Burnett Stealing Maria Bartiromo’s Spotlight?

Quite frankly, I could care less. As an obsessed avid CNBC viewer, I’ve noticed that Maria has been doing all of the feature stories and big shows while Erin Burnett and Becky Quick share facetime with the telepromter on a fairly even keel.

Apparently, “Mousey” Maria has been complaining about all the attention Erin Burnett has been getting as of late. This is all according to an article in the New York Post on Page Six

Insiders say Bartiromo is in an uproar over her ravishing rival Burnett, who’s begun to upstage her at the business news channel.

An inside source tells Page Six the Money Honey has been fuming that curvy Burnett, in addition to her duties as anchor of “Street Signs” and co-anchor of “Squawk on the Street,” is getting substantial airtime on the “Today” show, which gives her a much bigger audience. “Maria is like, hey, why isn’t it me on the ‘Today’ show? She’s very jealous of all the attention Erin is getting,” our source said.

Hey, Maria. Erin is a hottie. It was only a matter of time before it happened. I mean what’s hotter than a beautiful woman that knows her assets? You can equate that to a woman that likes sports…or cars. Most guys love it, and I’m gonna go out on a limb here and assume mostly males watch CNBC. Its not that Maria isn’t unattractive…just not the hot commodity right now (man I’m on a roll). Don’t complain, Maria. I watch The Wall Street Journal Report with Maria Bartiromo. It is America’s #1 Financial News program…and it’s good.

The Ladies of CNBC
Opio at The Beef Jerky Blog posted his Top 10 List of The Beautiful Ladies of CNBC. Great list. Just a few things I’d change. He forgot two of the more attractive female anchors, Darby Dunn and #2 on my “list”, Melissa Francis, who graduated with honors from Harvard University with a bachelor of Arts degree. And Suze Orman? Gone. Sure she helps people become more financially responsible, but I can’t stand her.
