Are you ready for some Football on Thursdays?! ;)

Thrilled to announce I will be a Special Correspondent for CBS Newspath covering 8 NFL games this fall.  I will be on location for each of the games, reporting for all the CBS local stations around the country. I will continue reporting for Inside Edition, as well. It's been a personal goal to do more in the sports world, and the NFL is King, so I am beyond excited! :) Will you be watching?

"Reflections on dating, marriage, sex - my story.."

Dating, Sex, Marriage and everything else! I was asked to share my story and marriage for this current issue of WHOAwomen magazine. I hope it encourages girls and guys to think highly of themselves, treat one another with respect and approach dating and marriage thoughtfully. It's one of the most important choices you will ever make! It's a little scary to share such intimate details but that's how we learn from each other. I'm passionate about encouraging the next generation and being authentic in the daily struggles of life. I hope to speak more on this issue in the weeks to come.

Alice + Olivia Show - New York Fashion Week!

New York Fashion Week!!! I live near Lincoln Center, where Fashion Week is mainly located, so I see the action up close. The publicists scrambling to organize their guest lists, the crazy hair/wild make-up on models taking a quick smoke break before they walk the runway, and the stage hands hurridly changing sets from one show to the next. I was lucky to score a ticket to the Alice + Olivia Fashion Show by Stacey Bendet last night. Instead of the typical runway show, this was a "presentation", which are becoming more and more popular nowdays. At a presentation, the models pose on small stages around a large room. People mingle and are able to walk up close to the models and take pictures of their outfits, all while sipping on cocktails and nibbling on treats. Stacey herself worked the room, chatting with celebrities and guests and modeling one of her own looks. I left inspired for fall fashion, and was handed a delightful goodie bag at the door. Celebrity spottings at the presentation were Lauren Conrad, Abigail Breslin and Holland Roden. Even better was the crowd - young, chic and full of energy!

a week at the DNC in Charlotte

I just returned from covering the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte - I am so tired! It was a very interesting assignment. For a full week, I interviewed proud delegates, anxious politicians and eager journalists. It was definetly a shining example of our democracy in action. But this question has been swirling around this year's election season...Do conventions still matter? In a world of 24/7 news, labtops, ipads and social media...do we still need to spend such $ on the convention? After covering the DNC, I think the conventions should not be done away with, but definetly paired down, especially in light of our national debt! What do you think? So of my highlights from the week: Interviewing Caroline Kennedy, San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, Obama Election Co-Chair Eva Longoria, Tennessee delegate Ashley Judd, former Sec. of State Madeline Albright, and CBS's Bob Scheiffer. It was pretty amazing to be on the floor of the DNC when President Obama gave his speech - the energy in the room was amazing! What was your favorite part of the conventions? I'd love to hear!

The City Boutique

Nothing like walking around in a big city, and window shopping. You stumble upon a cute, small and unique boutique. I did just this today on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Teddy's has beautiful and delicate jewelry, cute little dresses, brightly colored shirts and scarfs. A diamond in the rough! I love these hidden finds! If ever in NYC, find Teddy's on 70th and Columbus. That's my hidden gem today - what's yours?

Treat Yourself!

Everyone needs a little treat! I had a travel-packed summer, and just ended a multi-city tour for work. After unpacking my suitcase for the last time... (for hopefully a few weeks ; ), and decided it was time for a little pampering. I called my favorite spa and booked a deep-tissue massage. My favorite spot is called Exhale Spa in Midtown. It did not come by recommendation, and I never saw it advertised. I merely stumbled upon it one day, and walked right in! (Sometimes those are the best spots : ) The massage was relaxing, rejuvenating and refreshing! I left feeling relaxed and very peaceful. What's your treat for yourself? A glass of wine? A scoop of ice cream? A pedicure? or a Massage? Whatever it is, make sure you do it a little more than you think you deserve. And if you are ever in NYC, try www.exhalespa.com and book a treatment. Now go ahead - TREAT YOURSELF! : ) - Megan

YAHOO Ceo is having a baby...and plans to work while on maternity leave...Possible?

So the new CEO of Yahoo is pregnant...and going on maternity leave. And this has ignited a heated discussion between both men and women...but mainly women. Here's my take. I want to hear from her husband!!! As the Mother of a 1 year old who went on my own maternity leave last year, I can tell you that a supportive spouse and family is the key to only taking a "few weeks off" and working thru her maternity leave. People are fired up and making these statements: "She has no idea what's she's in for! Take a few weeks and keep on working? She is crazy! Once she sees her baby and fatigue sets in, she will realize its not that easy!" First, let me say, I agree with these statements. But I also want to hear from her husband. How will he support her? Will HE take a few weeks off? What about her parents and in-laws? My Mother was a HUGE support and help to me. My husband also took time off and we shared all duties. We found an incredible Daycare that we love and works with our schedule. One woman cannot do it alone. But the other important part of this discussion is this: She willingly became CEO of Yahoo. She is the boss. And if she gets pregnant, she is still the CEO of Yahoo. Million of people are counting on her. The company will not shut its doors just because she is on maternity leave. This is what working women have to face all the time - You want a big career? Be willing to sacrifice and gather your support. Deborah Norville, the Anchor of Inside Edition, told me she only took 2 weeks maternity leave when she had her 3rd child. TWO WEEKS! Why? Because she is the Face of our show, and she felt the responsibility to return. She knew hundreds of employees counted on her. She was both a Mom, and a working professional. It's the life she chose and she understand what comes with this life. Women, I really believe this: We can DO IT ALL but we can't HAVE IT ALL. It will be interesting to see our Marissa Mayer handles her job and baby. I have a feeling this is a very smart woman who will make good choices. I hope she is being advised by other people who know what she is about to encounter - I'm sure she is. She did not make it this far without a good head on her shoulders. Good luck to her - and I hope to hear from her husband, soon! : ) This is the modern woman - and she can do it. So that's my take - what do you all think??? - Megan : ) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lisa-belkin/marissa-mayer-the-most-po_b_1679413.html?utm_hp_ref=women&ir=Women

"Morning Face" - here is mine! What's yours?

I love doing stories like this! There is WAY too much pressure on young ladies today to look perfect. Photos are airbrushed, and we think celebrities wake-up looking perfect! But as we know, NOT SO. So the Inside Edition staff stumbled onto a neat project by former JANE Magazine Editor Jane Pratt -http://www.xojane.com/janes-stuff/gallery/morning-faces-gallery-xojane. The concept? Show your "Morning Face" - exactly how you look when you wake-up! and be honest! So... I invited my film crew over to my house and let them "wake me up"! Here's the pic. Tell me what you think? This also reminds me of a neat project my friend Amanda Moreno is doing called the "True Beauty Movement" - check it out. And watch the story tomorrow night on Inside Edition! Thanks Y'all! and please - SHOW me your Morning Face pics! twitter: @meganalexander1 - Megan

Season Greetings from Hillary - an airport run-in...

I travel a LOT for my job. Sometimes I am flying several days a month. You know you are flying a lot when you start to recognize flight attendants, or you have a favorite eatery in every airport. Or you have a favorite Airport - Charlotte! Mrs Fields and rocking chairs : )

So I was headed to DC last week for a story. It was a few days before Christmas and everyone was in a cheery mood. ("Cheery" is not a word to usually describe the NYC airports, but during the month of December, people actually learn how to smile for a few days : ) As I waited to board my plane, I heard people call out "Hi there! Happy Holidays!" and then that famous chuckle. Yup, I knew I recognized that laugh from numerous SNL skits. Hillary Clinton.

She was calling out "Merry Christmas" and tapping away busily on her cell phone. I jumped up from my seat and called out "Secretary Clinton! May I get a quick picture with you?" She looked at me and answered "Walk with me." And so I did. I walked behind her and her 3 secret service men down the hallway of our terminal. She kept tapping away on her phone and I kept walking behind her. Eventually she stopped near an airport Christmas tree and looked up at me "will this do?" she said.

"Sure!" I answered. I pulled out my cell phone and snapped away. We took 2 - as the first one turned out dark. She patiently let me turn her around so we could avoid the glare of a window. Once I approved of the 2nd photo - I called out "looks great - thank you! Merry Christmas" and she smiled, replied "all right - Merry Christmas!" and walked away.

...that's my encounter and pic with arguably the most powerful woman in the United States.

Interviewing Madonna...

Just those words make me nervous! Yesterday was one of those "pinch me - am I really here?" days. About 2pm, my Boss told me I needed to drop what I was doing and take a car down to Tribeca. I was to watch - in a private screening room at Harvey Weinstein's studios - the new movie "W.E.". Then I was to go interview Madonna a few hours later. As I was being told this - I glanced at the clock (230pm) and was told that my interview with Madonna must be before 6pm. I headed to my work closet, pulled on a red dress, gathered up my things and jumped in my car.
I got to Weinstein's offices about 3pm. They immediately ushered me into a private screening room and started the movie. Not sure what to expect, I was fixated for 2 hours by a movie directed by Madonna. She also co-wrote the script.

In February - I will reveal the interview and all Madonna had to say! : )

As I walked out of the door of the Waldorf Astoria and hailed a cab with my producer Ali...we giggled and pinched ourselves. This was a fun day in New York City. : )

- W.E. is a two-tiered romantic drama focusing on the affair between King Edward VIII and American divorcée Wallis Simpson and a contemporary romance between a married woman and a Russian security guard. It is Rated R and will be out in Theatres in February, 2012.

2010 Tony Awards

Hello friends -

Last night I was on the red carpet at the Tony Awards...the best of both Broadway and Hollywood! Actors that take the stage night after night ( sometimes 8 performances a week) really love what they do - and that was evident in all the interviews we did on the red carpet. The Great Angela Lansbury was up for her 6th Tony, which would make her a record breaker. She did not win, but was a bright light on the carpet and inspiration for all young actors. Enjoy the coverage on Inside Edition tonight! Despite the heavy rain, it was a warm evening for all.
