It's inevitable: in the future, all story leads are going to come from Facebook. So how best to prepare for the upcoming social networkalypse, when all sources will need to be wooed with a promise of a hatching egg and several pokes? By having reputable(?) news networks set up their own stake in the virtual friend zone.
Welcome to Fox News' Facebook, you guys!

Megyn Kelly is the worst kind of moron: tthe blond, perky, Republican kind. America's Newsroom is only watchable because it's fun to see all the sexual tension between Bill Hemmer and Kelly, but Hemmer needs to put a ball-gag on that woman before they're both axed for being too racist — even for Fox News.
First she started in with that baby's mamma crap with the Obamas, and today on a radio show she made these awesome comments about a fashion show the DNC speeches:
"I stand by my comments on the Michelle Obama dress…bluish-green is not the color for these women."
The woman after Megyn jumps in to clarify that she was referring to the women speaking in front of a blue wall, "And it blended in–you were right–it blended in with that background." But still, Kelly needs to watch what she says more carefully in the future, as these soundbites are all that are needed to start a media snowball and Keith Olbermann meltdown.
Well, at least she said "these women" instead of "those women," or "you people." Little known fact: It's not racism if you change a letter. Semantics are tricky that way.
The most interesting part of this Q&A with Bill Hemmer in Hamptons magazine is that it appeared in Hamptons magazine, not on a Fire Island blog.
What's with the cable news networks surrendering their newsrooms to oogling onlookers?
On Tuesday night during Super Tuesday Jr. coverage, MTV's inquisitive Tim Kash visited Fox News' operations, where Bill Hemmer was showing off the size of his … touch screen. ("Bigger than CNN's," he gloats.)
Then there's Blog Soup blogger Leslie K. taking a CNN studio tour in Atlanta, where she poses with the cardboard versions Anderson Cooper and Robin Meade.
After the jump, watch Hemmer prove he's a size queen. (It's 110 inches!) CONTINUED »
Your gay fantasies will likely remain, but CNN-to-FNC anchor Bill Hemmer not only has a girlfriend, but trumpeted her about atop the Empire State Building.
Relay the homos at Queerty: "In fact he took her to the top of the Empire State building yesterday, and proudly pulled out his cell phone while live on the air, found her picture on his cell phone and forced it in front of the camera for the world to see the lovely Mrs. future Hemmer. His co-host of America’s Newsroom, Megyn Kelly seemed shocked and amazed by stating 'That doesn’t sound like you!' I guess Mr. Murdock or Roger Ailes have finally figures out (and straighten out) Hemmers sexuality for him."
Fret not: We hear Shep Smith doesn't have a … camera phone.
But doesn't like talking about them. "These days, Mr. Hemmer splits his time between a luxury apartment in Greenwich Village and a swank spread in the Hamptons. Of his siblings, Mr. Hemmer is the only one who’s yet to marry. In recent years, the son of a mattress executive has inspired much speculation about the details of his own mattress-hopping. Mr. Hemmer declined to kiss and tell." Adds commenter Tonynj88: "HELLO !!! HE'S GAY GAY GAY !!!!!!" [NYO]
Here's a rumor going around the media realm that strikes of "placement!." It's also a rumor we don't stand behind.
A rumor is going around that Bill Hemmer of Fox News was accompanied by model/actress Dara Tomanovich to the annual golf tournament Hemmer hosts and that she was introduced as his fiancee and was wearing a large ring.
Who is Dara Tomanovich, you ask? Well, she did an episode of Nash Bridges, and that's where the fun stops. But where does the fun start? Right here, where we play along with the game "Find Bill Hemmer a New Beard."
Always one to self-congratulate, Fox News tossed "fair," "balanced," and "and" to the wayside last night to throw itself a 10th anniversary bash. The red carpet was rolled out in front of headquarters at 1211 Sixth, and underneath a glammed-up tent Rupert Murdoch held court over minions Roger Ailes, Bill O'Reilly, Shep Smith, Bill Hemmer, Greta Van Susteren, Brit Hume, and Laurie Dhue. But there was more star wattage inside: Donald Trump, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Governor George Pataki, Ann Coulter, Tiki Barber, and NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly all showed up to pay their respects. And so did we: Jossip loves a party that celebrates raping the competition into submission, so we grabbed photog Matthew Krautheim and hit the soiree. (Meanwhile, if there's a missing Fox News pillow, don't blame us.)

It didn't take long for CNN hunk Bill Hemmer to recover from his Time Warner departure. He's washed up on the shores of Fox News, which will let him stay in New York as an afternoon anchor and correspondent.
If you recall, Hemmer got into a nasty spat with his CNN bosses, who wanted him to give up his American Morning co-anchor gig alongside Soledad O'Brien to head to D.C. for White House reporting. Instead of moving, he up and quit and was said to be courted by CBS and ABC.
Now he's in the hands of Roger Ailes and, as any Fox News import knows, will soon be cleaning in between the president's toes. Unfortunately, Ailes might have won this war, as we're going to be forced to tune into Fox News to catch us some Hemmer hair shine.
