TV anchor in trouble again

? The Anchor Behaving Badly show seems to be in reruns.

Philadelphia newscaster Alycia Lane – who cried to Dr. Phil about her divorce and e-mailed bikini shots of herself to a married NFL sportscaster – is now charged with assaulting a New York police officer.

“Does … trouble find her? Yeah,” Gov. Ed Rendell, who calls himself a friend, told sports radio station WIP-AM. “From what little I know about her entire life, she’s had some difficult times, and I guess you could say some of her own making.”

The lithe and attractive Lane has been a staple of local TV and gossip columns since she came to the CBS affiliate KYW in Philadelphia in 2003, carrying the nickname “The Latina Bombshell.” She is of Puerto Rican heritage.

The 35-year-old may or may not have courted the publicity, but she certainly didn’t shy away from it.

“She’s been seen much more by the media in the light of a glamour girl than as a journalist,” said Gail Shister, a longtime TV columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer. “She didn’t do much to dissuade that notion.”

Recent published reports link Lane romantically with Chris Booker, a local DJ whose last name conveniently lent itself to the “BOOK ‘ER” headline in the Philadelphia Daily News after her arrest.

Booker and Lane were out with another couple in New York early Sunday when they got into an altercation with plainclothes police officers, according to the criminal complaint and published reports.

Police say Lane thrust a camera in the face of a male officer who was trying to get an intoxicated man to return to his taxi. When a female officer tried to pull the camera away, Lane identified herself as a reporter – dropping a couple of f-bombs in the process – used a sexual slur against the cop and hit her, the complaint said.

Lane, through her lawyer, maintains she never struck anyone or used a derogatory term. She has pleaded not guilty.

The Long Island native first appeared on air in 1997 as a Washington-based reporter for KSNT-TV in Topeka, Kan.
