Weather reader Jackie Johnson was out last night with Channel 9 colleagues Mary Beth McDade and Melissa McCarty, but it was Johnson who got all the personal attention from Girls Gone Wild dude Joe Francis. I'm happy to report the blonde who gets in the car with Joe is not one of the KCAL Three. TMZ video

What is it about her?: Out of curiosity I checked the logs to see if Johnson still ranks high on the search-o-meter here at LA Observed. Sure enough, this month her name is the number two draw for search engine referrals, behind RFK assassination figure Juan Romero. Sharon Tay ranks third. Now, this is just weird. For years they have dominated the search hits. It's not like they are the only attractive women in local TV. So then I got curious about previous months.

Sharon Tay vs. Jackie Johnson: Search showdown
			Contenders
June	567	685	Juan Romero, Vanessa Bryant, Jesse James Hollywood
May	1128	855	Vanessa Bryant, Jesse James Hollywood, Laura Lane
April	1239	1172	Sam Rubin, Will Spens, Mirthala Salinas
March	1131	641	Lisa Guerrero, Margaret Jones, Gretchen Carr
Feb.	1342	241	Randy Simmons, Lindsay Lohan, Sam Zell
Jan.	2460	178	John Zeigler, Marc Germain, Stephanie Edwards
2008 so far	7867	3772

It's fitting that Tay attracts more Google interest than Johnson, even if it's mostly teenagers trolling for photos. I find Tay solid in the anchor chair and as a field reporter. Johnson may be improved, but I can't get past her fuzzy math skills. By the way, Lisa Guerrero lapped them with 7,000 search hits here in March.
