TVNewser has learned Laurie Dhue and Fox News Channel have parted ways. The anchor and FNC management could not agree on a new contract. A Fox News spokesperson tells TVNewser, "Unfortunately, we were unable to come to terms on a new agreement with Laurie. She has been a valued member of FOX News, and we wish her all the best in her future endeavors."

Dhue has been with Fox for more than seven years, joining in September of 2000. In addition to hosting FNC programs during her tenure, Dhue was also a correspondent on the syndicated version of Geraldo at Large.

Since September she has been working as ombudswoman for The O'Reilly Factor for a segment called "The Dhue Point." In what would be her last installment Thursday night, Bill O'Reilly told Dhue, "I hope you know, this is my favorite segment of the week."

Before FNC, Dhue was an anchor at MSNBC and before that, CNN.

I’m sure male FReepers are devastated.

[Clara Lou]

Laurie Dhue was a pretty face. Period. There are more out there.

[GnL]

I think this calls for the photo of Laurie Dhue firing the machine gun.

[cripplecreek]

The Dhue is done.

[MNJohnnie]

Roger Ailes YOU BASTARD! Bring back the Dhue!

[indcons]

500+ post thread in the making?

[Mr. K]

NOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG she was drop-dead gorgeous

[elhombrelibre]

If they’re going to lose one of the chicks, why couldn’t Sheppy Pooh go?

[Aaron0617]

I think this calls for the photo of Laurie Dhue firing the machine gun.

i thought that was Chloe from 24

[Bernard]

They let her go and keep Geraldo. I suppose we can expect to see Dennis Hopper next, assuming he can sit up-right for an hour. And maybe Dennis could have Billy Mays as a side-kick, in case somebody in the audience is sleeping during the show.

[Eurale]

Dhue Da Dhue Da...

[Dysart]

She should find her way over to PMSNBC and have her very own wacky AM show. They could call it "Morning Dhue."

Or how about an ego drive hour long talk format, simlar to O'Really? Dub it "The Dhue Licious Factor."

[cripplecreek]

And maybe Dennis could have Billy Mays as a side-kick, in case somebody in the audience is sleeping during the show.

I'M BILLY MAYS AND I THINK THAT'S A WONDERFULL IDEA!!!

[Old Sarge]

They’ll find another pretty face, and the Battle Of The Network Blondes will continue.

Especially in the case of Faux News, who will add a blonde with a white Bronco.

That said, where’s the cheesecake?

[tgusa]

Your agent is your friend. Just like the gummint is here to help.

[tioga]

and another one bites the dust......

[Dysart]

Off with your head, Billy!

[blackdog]

Dew on Dhue was my favorite thought during the broadcasts in which she was included. I still declare the all-time news hottie was Lynn Russell during the early 80’s.

[The Mayor]

Just for you Mr.K

[Baynative]

She had a good gig with O’Reilly and threw it in the toilet by going on WHOREaldo’s loser of a tabloid show. Recently, she tried making a comeback on O’Reilly by trying to be opinionated and ‘pithy’. It didn’t dhue the job and she’s heading for something completely irrelevant like 60 minutes or Good Morning America.

[T.L.Sink]

Exactly. On all the cable networks there seems to be an infinite supply of dumb drugstore blondes. You’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. Next!

[Baynative]

"I don't care who you are - that's funny right there!"

[cripplecreek]

ONLY IF I, BILLY MAYS CAN SELL YOU THE KNIFE!!!!!

[Aaron0617]

Your agent is your friend. Just like the gummint is here to help.

exactly, Fox News is still #1 and I can understant her agent asking for a little raise, but you don't want to go too far. She is still a news reader and there isn't a Laurie Dhue show.

Probably wind up on msnbc.

[Digital Sniper]

Now what am I gonna watch with the volume turned off?

Adieu, Dhue.

[TomGuy]

I have noticed, too, that Kelly Wright has left Fox&Friends Weekend and is back on the news beat.

[He never fit in to that weekend silliness. I hope it was his choice to leave F&FWeekend.]

Now, if they will just separate Bill Hemmer and Megan Kelly. Each, separately, is watchable. Together, they (especially Megan) are giddy and giggly. That is very unprofessional for a news program.

[Digital Sniper]

Maybe we can replace Dhue with this honey?

[blackdog]

Geraldo at Large.............

Enthusiatic annoying glue which nobody has been able to find a release agent for. It may be entirely possible that Geraldo isn't really working for anyone. Absent an employer, Geraldo would still be doing the same thing.

[Dysart]

Deal, Billy. Now just tone it down a little. Listen to harp music or something.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

In other news, her makeup contractor has slit his wrists.

[InterceptPoint]

Well she could have at least waited until Fox News goes HD, assuming that ever happens.

I'm getting tired of watching CNN for election coverage but they are running circles around Fox these days and are putting up better numbers than Fox in that area.If you have HD and tolerate the bias, which by the way seems a little bit more under control these days, then CNN is the place to be on election night. Hopefully Fox will get their act together before the fall election season really gets going. It would be nice to see the Democrat Convention in HD on Fox. That would be a hoot.

[ovrtaxt]

I’m still on perpetual lookout for Jennifer Eccleston, the ‘shock and awe’ babe. oh man is she hot

[steelyourfaith]

Dhue will be missed but I ain't following her to wherever it is that she eventually lands.

[ovrtaxt]

Billy Mays lol!

[ari-freedom]

Dhue is Dhone.
Dhue. Or Dhue not. There is no try.
When is my Dhue date?
Give Dhue credit where credit is Dhue.

[SkyPilot]

Clip of WhoreAldo lusting after Dhue.

[bannie]

Ok, you guys...those lips tell me that the outside has been constructed.

What am I thinkin'...you guys don't care HOW she came to look like that, as long as she DOES look like that for you.

You guys are visual, and that's just the way it is.

[blam]

Lynne Russell

[ari-freedom]

HI! I'M BILLY MAYS! AM I ANNOYING? AM I ANNOYING? AM I ANNOYING? AM I ANNOYING? AM I ANNOYING?

[johniegrad]

KA-BOOM

[davisfh]

"In other news, her makeup contractor has slit his wrists."

Not the way I heard it. I heard that her makeup artist's boyfriend had slit his wrists.

[The Mayor]

You guys are visual, and that's just the way it is.

Well, I cannot deny that if she is good lookin then I am more apt to listen... : )

[tioga]

does she have a brain?

[Rome2000]

All Shepard has to do is put on a dress, he already has the makeup.

[Ditter]

Dhue can just take her big fat lips and go!

[TruthWillWin]

Doesn’t matter.

[grey_whiskers]

Like, *PING*, dude.

[blackdog]

Is Dhue’s husband considered to be a dhude?

[ari-freedom]

does that matter? it’s fox news!
