Tamara's new haircolor
I really like your new hair color. If you aren't a natural blonde and two small babies around you will likely find brunette less maintenance. Do what you want to do of course.
I like it too!
Tamara looks really good with the darker hair! She looks amazing on the cover!
Tamara and family
What a beautiful family I really enjoyed the pictures and the story. I klike the new hair color you look more like your children
Beautiful!
What a lovely family! I don't know what it is about Tamara and Dave and their two beautiful babies, but they just give me the warm fuzzies. There's such a feeling of peace in the photos. God bless them!
PS: Love the hair! :-)
Coming back to work!
Welcome Back!! Tamera. We really missed you. Say Hi to Becket and Zoe for me. Hope all is well with you all A Loyal Fan, Pat MacLeod, Salmon Arm, B.C.
Congrats
You look stunning and your new baby is so beautiful. Congrats from your fans in Terrace, BC!
tamara
tamara, you're so full of yourself, and pretentious. you're not that great, and you're an average weather presenter as well...
congrats ... but ...
I really hope you return to the bubbly blonde we all love. If you're avoiding bleach while nursing, great.. but otherwise... honestly, you were the archetypal sunshine blonde - even if it's from the bottle, the blonde was part of the personna you built. I have been a huge fan for years - knew you were a rising star before most people had even heard of you. Either way, congratulations on your new baby and keep up the superstar bc girl reporting :)
expecting?
Hi Tamara - we have been speculating whether you are expecting again? You seem such a nice person and wish you luck if you are pregnant again. Could you let us know on air - or have you done that already?
Mommy Shirts?
Hi
Glad to have Tamara back, but is she wearing mommy dresses again?
Sincerely
Donna
Is Tamara Pregnant again?
Can anyone confirm if Tamara is pregnant again? We have noticed on the news that she looks about 5 months along, any confirmation on that?
Tamara Looks Great!
Will you all just leave Tamara alone about being pregnant again?? It takes time to shed post-birth weight. I think she looks just great!
Don't be ignorant
We are inquiring if Tamara is pregnant because we want to wish her the best if she is,not insult her.
Not leaving Tamara alone
We are all just wondering if she is going to be a mother again, you need to grow up. No one said she didnt look good!!!!
Tamara to be on Regis & Kelly?
Just heard on TV that Tamara is one of the finalists to be a guest co-host on Regis and Kelly. She'd be great -- but CTV -- don't let her go! She's one of the best personas on CTV!
Still - good luck Tamara!
Ruth, formerly of Vancouver Island, now in Ottawa.
Please not Tamara
I think I'll literally vomit if Tamara is tagged to co-host Regis & Kelly. I am soooo tired of her. She's ridden about as far as she can on her looks, and I just wish she'd go away and make room for some new blood.
Not a Tamara Fan
I can't believe Tamara Taggart was picked to guest-host on Regis & Kelly! Did the woman sell her soul to the devil or something? That's the only reason I can think of to account for her out-of-proportion popularity and good fortune. Don't let her sweet smile fool you: she's really not a particularly nice person and, unlike Mark Madryga and Kristie Gordon, she's not even a real meteorologist. Chalk it all up to blonde hair and a pretty face, I guess.
GO, TAMMY!
If it's meant to be, it will be. You go, girl! Let the naysayers choke on their jealousy!!
Go Tammy Rebuttal
The previous poster shouldn't assume that my motive in dissing TT is envy. She really is just not a nice person, and I wish the opportunity had gone to someone who actually deserves it. End of story.
Not nice???????????????????
How do you know she's not a nice person????
tamara PG or not PG?
hey,
well, i do think tamara is not the typical "mold of typical blonde TV gals"
Tamara is actually so down to earh and the girl next door, she is.
but i find it hard to believe that it is too hard to shed post birth pounds when one is
in the public eye like she is, and wonder if she is PG again, why not have the kids close
together? and have them now, this day and age the female TV ppl are working around having a career and kids and that is fantastic,
i recall, one of the first weather girls in Calgary was let go because she was PG, the viewers
wouldnt let it go and they put her back pn the air, it was so different to see we werent used to seeing PG girls on TV back in the 80's.
anyway, i taped Tamara on the Regis and Kelly show and i am so relieved that Tamara is NOT like Kelly Rippa, that girl is tooooo into herself and i guess she can afford to be with all the hipe she has following her, Tamara is not at all like that and there seemed to be a chemistry between Regis and Tamara, she was a natural and so sweet and cute, that is what is missing with a lot of the TV personalties these days, they get toooo full of themselves.
back to the PG, Tamara is showing tummy and she is fit, so i do wonder if she is expecting another?
I am so proud to be able to watch our local TV and see people like Mark Madryga, he is the coolest, and the most down to earth guy we have on Global, so polite and so good at his job, and then there is our Vancouver Cuties, Robin Gill and Tamara,
I am not a kristi gordon fan, nothing personal, she is new, but she messes up too much and cant ad lib very well, she has to watch her own weather reports so she can see/hear what she says and learn how to speak and to un-do the blunders.
a vancouver fan
Randene Rules
I like Randene Neill myself.
Tamara pregnant again?
My husband and I have also been wondering if Tamara is indeed pregnant again? She is wearing her "mommy to be wardrobe" and looks to be around 6 months along? Can anyone comfirm this? All the best to her and her family if she is! :>
Maybe pregnant
She looked pregnant at the Victory Ceremony for the Olympics I attended. She was wearing a long, slightly baggy sweater...unusual unless you've got something going on.
Yeah she looks pregnant
I saw her at the Victory ceremony she looked pregnant to me. Slightly selfish of her if she is indeed preggers.I mean she has a downs syndrome child,a small baby at home.WHO LOOKS AFTER THEM,a nanny? why have kids if you can't devote time to raising them?
tam preggo
Two words: Who cares.
Tamara PG
If Tamara is pregnant again that is only her and her husband's business. As for suggesting she is selfish for choosing to have another child, haven't you heard of all the working mothers of the world? Millions of women balance full time careers and motherhood. Why should it be different for Tamara? Good for her, for gracing our TV screens.
Tamara PG again.
Well mothers, especially those in the public eye,generally have nannies.I agree Tamara is SELFISH, dumping her children on nannies. I know working mothers who talk about balancing family and career,but something always suffers such as time with children. But they lie about it and try to sell you this B.S that you can have it all. I AM MY KIDS' MOM.
Dr. Laura, huh?
I didn't realize anybody still took her seriously.
NANNY
Why does it need a nanny? Her husbands career is in the toilet and circling
Good
Im glad she's preggers again now maybe she'll be a stay at home mom and stay off my TV.
I agree
Because of her I cant watch CTV news anymore, unfortunately Im still stuck with seeing it on her 30 second community blurbs. Time for CTV to replace her
Anyone else heard?
The rumors about her past life posted on the internet? Comments?
Does anyone know
To whom a petition could be submitted asking CTV to not bring her back after her mat leave?
Sick & Tired of Tamara Taggart!
It seems every time I turn around Tamara Taggart is on the cover of the TV Week.
Just because she gets married or has another kid doesn't make her cover worthy. Same goes for Steve Darling!
You could of just had a blurb about her in the back of the magazine.
If your going to put local TV personalities on the cover of your magazine make sure they aren't always the same ones.
I'm sure there are more interesting people out there than just Tamara Taggart.
How about Squire Barnes and/or Randene Neill? Those two have great chemistry together on Global Noon News.
Tamara who? Shhhhh...let me enjoy the moment
Her entire career is proof positive that timing is everything. There's Tamara summed up.AND as unavoidable as it was to witness her hair become lighter over the years, I can't believe anyone would think it was natural. WHATEVER!
Tamara Taggart
I think that its WONDERFUL news for Tamara. Although i'm also tired of hearing about her and it really is time for her to move over and just be a mom and give someone else the Limelight for a change. I love Robin Stickley and she is so pretty.
Tamara Taggert
I'm very Happy for you Tamara! I was Totally Surprised watching you grow w/your 3rd chicklet & bewildered also! But You are brimming over w/love for people & kids that I Praise U & Dave for going forth w/expanding your family! And for you jerks who criticize her, Pay Attention---The Work Force in 2010 Allows for Normal Human Beings to Have Husbands/Wives AND Children! IF You so dislike Her Then Stop Watching CTV News! And shame on You; CTV News IS made up of Working Families! Thx for listening:)
Work comes second
Why have kids if you are constantly shipping them off to relatives as Tamara Taggart seems to do on a regular basis(read her twitter post you'll see where I'm coming from).I was a fan of hers and followed her on twitter,however as a very involved,hands on parent to my kids I quickly lost respect for her.I could not fathom how Tamara does all that she does and still be there for her kids.Her kids seems to come second to her career.I think Tamara likes the idea of having kids,but she can't be bothered to raise them.
It's Just Snow
Previous blogs are right on when they say Tammy T is not a nice person. I just saw her do a story on a vengeful jerk who covered his neighbors car with snow for borrowing his shovel without asking. That's what neighbors are for, no. Then her fake hair color couldn't keep her mouth shut and she replies with a "WHATEVER IT'S ONLY SNOW, PEOPLE" in a condescending tone to Mike K. and Colleen Christie when they both disagreed with her. I'm sure she wouldn't be saying that if it was her car.The best part was, she thought she was off the air when her mic was still on and caught the whole thing live. Tammy T, my mother always said if your going to talk down to someone make sure that it's not on tape. Ha! Showing your true colors girlfriend. Pam Martin is rolling over in her grave and she's not even dead yet. CTV ,thumbs down for choosing a fake weather girl for your once "award winning" newscast. I guess I'll be switching back to Global to watch some real pros at work.
JEALOUSY!
I can't believe the jealousy and juvenile comments on this page! Seriously, if you can't say something constructive, you're better off to say nothing at all. These ridiculous comments only serve to make you look stupid.
Lovely this is
I have read this from ABC News TV Channel that you are having a new born baby now, Really this one will be a great feeling, Hope that you are having a wonderful life ahead.
