Diann Burns, a Chicago news anchorwoman, was let go in a round of CBS 2 lay-offs today.

Of course, many people outside of Chicago may not know who the television and radio columnist Diann Burns is, but since I’m from Chicago, Diann Burns getting laid off was sad news to hear for me.

I saw Diann walking downtown Chicago, near Wabash, under the El train.

I was struck by how pretty she was.

Reports say that after being lured away from ABC, Burns got a $10 million deal and was the highest paid newsanchor in the city.

I pray this just paves the way for something even better for Burns.
