Does having been spanked as a child (being spanked as an adult is, as the vast majority of you know, an entirely different kettle of fish) make a person more aggressive and emotionally unstable as a grown-up? That’s what precisely what Fox News’ Megyn Kelly seeks to find out.

Karen Handel — who today resigned from her position as Susan G. Komen’s senior VP following a controversial policy change that resulted in the foundation cutting its grants to Planned Parenthood — visited America Live‘s Megyn Kelly to explain her decision to step down, as well as her role in the foundation’s new policy.

Michigan residents watching the Super Bowl last night may have noticed an unusual political ad that aired during Sunday’s game. In it, a young Chinese woman is seen riding a bike through what appears to be a rice paddy. She stops to tell the viewer all about Democratic Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow‘s spending, as young Chinese women riding bikes through rice paddies are wont to do. As a result of spending, she informs us, the U.S. has to borrow more money from China and “your economy get very weak. Ours get very good. We take your jobs. Thank you, Debbie Spenditnow!”

On the heels of a geopolitically troubling report by the Washington Post’s David Ignatius that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta anticipates “that Israel will attack Iran over the next few months”, hawkish former UN Ambassador John Bolton spoke with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly about the potential military response if a war between the two nations broke out. “I don’t think we will be able to stay out and I don’t think it’s in our interest to stay out,” Bolton exclaimed.

You might recall that, just yesterday, Fox News’ Megyn Kelly hosting a very heated panel discussion between guests Sandy Rios and Jehmu Greene about Susan G. Komen’s controversial decision to cut funding to Planned Parenthood. Now that the foundation has reversed its decision, Kelly invited the two back for more.

On Thursday’s America Live, host Megyn Kelly invited Sandy Rios vice-president of Family-Pac Federal, and Jehmu Greene, formerly of the Women’s Media Center, to discuss the ongoing controversy surrounding the Susan G. Komen’s foundation’s new approach regarding funding.

Rick Mingus was just an ordinary Washington DC citizen who liked to sit in the park — until one day, Occupy DC protesters pushed him over the edge…and he picked up a pair of scissors.

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin responded to Mitt Romney‘s win in Florida on Fox News by criticizing his extensive spending on negative advertising in the state. “$17 million spent in one state, that purchased a lot of darts and arrows that were flown in one direction and lots of darts and arrows was thrown back. A lot of that negativity didn’t paint the party and cause in very attractive colors. I think that hurts the electorate, diminishes the energy to head into a general. Hopefully everybody will start to focus on what is important as we go forward.”

On Fox News’ America Live, Megyn Kelly hosted a spirited debate on whether President Obama should condemn the actions of Occupy Oakland, who were photographed burning the American flag; one panelist accused President Obama of not commenting because he listened to Reverend Wright for so long.

Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus appeared on Fox News’s America Live to respond to the growing furor over his comments comparing President Obama to Captain Francesco Schettino, the Italian captain of the Costa Concordia. Megyn Kelly asked Priebus if he stood by his comments, which he strongly defended as “clear.” “Clearly Megyn! When I [...]

You know a segment is growing beyond the control of its host whenever anyone invokes the term “____ mafia.” In the case of Monday’s episode of America Live, host Megyn Kelly tried, in vain, to reign in the discussion by guests Jehmu Greene, former president of the Women’s Media Center, and radio host / Tea Party 365 co-founder David Webb.

Megyn Kelly is not exactly the first person one would imagine who had their parents joke that they were too ugly to get married, and yet it’s still something she yells at her mom about, the Fox News anchor tells Elle magazine this week– along with explaining how a tenth-grade career quiz told her to be a journalist and, in her current job, what it takes for her to ban someone from the show.

Sometimes being a news anchor is hard. I mean, you have to say a lot of tough stuff on live television. Seriously. You try to pronounce the names of random Middle Eastern dictators knowing that millions of people are watching you. And, in addition to mass-murderers’ multi-syllabic monickers, there’s also science stuff to worry about. Take for example Megyn Kelly’s struggle today with the term “Coronal Mass Ejection,” which is a burst of charged particles and magnetic fields. Unlike us bloggers, Kelly can’t just copy and paste the darn thing, so she had to say it out loud.

This week, two men who appear in the short film (or, if you prefer, long political ad) When Mitt Romney Came to Town (referred to also as “King of Bain”) told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly that their words were taken “grossly” out of context.

On Tuesday afternoon, Fox News’ Megyn Kelly welcomed a panel of Republican voters to the show, leading them in a discussion on last night’s debate in South Carolina — with special focus, of course, on Newt Gingrich‘s interaction with moderator Juan Williams.

Tina Brown and Newsweek‘s decision to put Andrew Sullivan’s provocative essay (and an even more provocative headline) on the cover was purely about getting people to talk about Newsweek. That was the theory put forth by a Fox News panel during a segment dedicated to…talking about Newsweek. But, as Megyn Kelly proposed at the start, has Newsweek and the mainstream media “crossed a line in trying to get the President reelected?”

On Thursday, Senator John McCain sat down with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly to discuss the attacks and accusations being lobbed against Mitt Romney, the candidate he has endorsed, and Bain Capital. McCain criticized Newt Gingrich for disparaging Romney’s time at Bain. “I think that Romney has a basis of support in South Carolina that I think is going to carry him on,” said McCain. “and, in all due respect to Newt Gingrich especially, this is a desperate act. These are desperate times for the Gingrich campaign.”

You’ll likely remember how, after news broke of former North Korean “supreme leader” Kim Jong-il‘s death, hordes of North Koreans were filmed crying, gnashing their teeth and falling to the ground in public, dramatic displays of mourning. There was a reason for that — new reports our of North Korea indicate that citizens are now being arrested for not having mourned enough.

Rick Tyler, a former campaign spokesman for Newt Gingrich and current senior adviser for the pro-Gingrich super PAC “Winning Our Future,” appeared on America Live today to discuss When Mitt Romney Came to Town, the half-hour documentary that purports to take a look at the fallout from Mitt Romney‘s time at private equity firm Bain Capital.

In an appearance on Fox News’s America Today, Jon Huntsman‘s daughter Abby Huntsman Livingston slammed the controversial ads put out by “New Hampshire Liberty 4 Paul” depicting the former Utah governor dressed as a Maoist soldier and featuring his adopted daughters. “It’s unfortunate the political conversation have become this vile.”

You may or may not have heard yet, but Mediaite is losing Colby Hall, the only Managing Editor it has ever known. While Hall and Mediaite founder Dan Abrams have already had their say, the well-oiled cogs in the Mediaite machine still haven’t had their turn. As the last of the Mediaite O.G.s, it falls to me to guide this exercise, and to send Mr. Hall into the after-Mediaite-life with a full understanding of what he has meant to us.

During a discussion on the “nurse-in” protests at Target stores, America Live host Megyn Kelly told Trace Gallagher about a wardrobe malfunction the Fox News anchor had while breastfeeding on a plane.

Iowa State Senator Kent Sorenson may have become one of the most important characters in the Iowa Republican primary saga literally overnight with his somewhat surprising appearance at a Rep. Ron Paul rally last night, endorsing that candidate while still serving as the State Campaign Co-Chair of Michele Bachmann for President. He had more than a few questions to answer today to Megyn Kelly, who asked him several difficult questions about his move, including whether he was paid to make the switch.

On Thursday’s Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert ribbed “Queen of Narnia” Fox News’s Megyn Kelly over her network’s chyron error, mixing up a photo of Mitt Romney with Barack Obama .

In preparation for the Fox News Republican Debate tonight, Megyn Kelly sat down with Bret Baier, Chris Wallace, and Neil Cavuto to preview what viewers should expect (Kelly, Cavuto, and Wallace are moderating, with Wallace hosting). Noting the seating arrangement — with Kelly on one side facing the three men — the four decided to play off a Dating Game theme, throwing in jokes alongside the serious analysis.
