Local anchors’ reactions during ‘most desirable face’ segment go viral

WASHINGTON — Two morning news anchors became the talk of Twitter and Facebook on Thursday, all because of their facial reactions during a segment on the “most desirable face.” Good Day DC, Fox 5 DC’s morning show, did a story on a plastic surgeon in London who tracked the most-requested features over the course of 10 years and came up with what he’s called the “most desirable face.” According to Fox 5’s account, the top features were: 1.  Kate Middleton’s nose 2.  Keira Knightley’s eyes 3.  Jennifer Lopez’s eyebrows 4.  Penelope Cruz’s lips 5.  Angelina Jolie’s cheeks 6.  Reece Witherspoon’s skin 7.  Miley Cyrus’ forehead 8.  Selena Gomez’s chin 9.  Cher’s jaw line If their facial expressions were any indication, Maureen Umeh and Wisdom Martin did not agree with the study.

The story has since gone viral, making the rounds on social media and getting picked up by the likes of BET, The Huffington Post and the Telegraph, which noted critics’ gripe that the “most desirable face” lacked any features of black celebrities. Here’s a clip of the original segment on Fox 5:
