Five minutes with Pippa Wetzell
Five whole minutes with a news reporting goddess — we should be so lucky… Before long, New Zealand English will be appending the adjective “lovely” to Pippa Wetzell in the same way as it attaches “leaky” to homes, “flaky” to Holmes and “Labour-led” to government. We could claim NZBC only watches TV One for its news reports and that we asked Pippa if we could interview her simply because she’s such a good journalist, or because she looks so elegant when she dons a ball-gown for those red carpet moments at the Oscars. And she was the perfect foil for Paul Henry on Breakfast earlier in the year. But let’s face it, Pippa is hot. And it seems all of New Zealand recognises that fact; with the apparent exception of TVNZ management, which hasn’t even profiled her on its own website, as it has done for each of its news anchors. So, in our self-appointed role as the nation’s trendsetters, NZBC invited Pippa over for a free-trade coffee so we could break our “men only” curse with five minutes of pure class. But then we got all tongue-tied and giggly.

It is unwise to profile upcoming stars at TVNZ.
They start asking for stupid things - like more money.
Now I have seen a photo however I understand several requests I have from chronologically challenged males to write about her on my blog.
If Pippa is indeed to be considered an "upcoming star" at TVNZ, perhaps she deserves more money.
I'm also curious as to whether you mean by "chronologically challenged" young, old, those with short attention spans or those with too much time on their hands (a 45-year-old male, none the wiser).
Chris
It is meant of course in a nice way, nice for old...
They are in more ways than one my target market and I love most of them.
