Hook-ups
Milwaukee's Best -- Taylor's Mystery Lady Revealed!

So who was that bikini blonde cavorting in the Hawaiian sand with Season 5 "Idol" winner Taylor Hicks? If you live in Milwaukee, you know spritely Caroline Lyders as the morning anchor for WISN TV.

According to OnMilwaukee.com, Lyders says she and Hicks are "friends," but won't say anymore. Friends with benefits?!

If the pics are any indication, it looks like Lyders is on more than just soul patrol!

31. I was going to make a remark about all the hostile & mean remarks but then I got to the second page & was pleasantly surprised to see that not all people are like that. I'm like 'x'...no fan but I wouldn't post mean remarks just to be mean. I guess some people don't have anything better to do OR there are a lot more PERFECT people out there that are just on this earth to judge.

34. That's not his hair. That is something on th cap. You can clearly see a tuft of hair sticking out of the actual opening on the cap below the weird colored spot on his hat.

37. Oh ....so if we DON'T LIKE Taylor Hicks, then we're mean, ugly and not entitled to our opinions?

Just so I've got it straight here.

But if we point out that he's sold the LEAST of ALL the winners in AI history and hasn't been able to fill any venue that holds more than 3-5 thousand seats, while Chris Daughtry has sold almost 2 MILLION cds and fills venues of over 50,000 and didn't even WIN last year....now THAT would make me...what ???? Jealous?

How about it just making me honest? He was a one trick pony that appealed to a limited group of people.

38. Okay so the bottomline here........Taylor is obviously bisexual and or gay and in the closet. I could care less but instead of trying to live in denial by dating a women that is nothing but a man with lipstick is a crying shame. Taylor, we love you no matter what your sexual preference. I realize you are a one trick pony and will never amount to anything beyond playing in smoky bars and half empty casinos but show some dignity still. And as far as this manly women, hardly a hardcore journalist! She is trying to promote herself and the whole thing is a joke. Taylor, you really need to get real........the majority of people in the world dont know you and dont care. You are not that special honey. In fact, you are really a joke to most of the folks! Its Chris they want to hear. And we can always listen to Ray Charles and Joe Cocker if we need real soul. You are a wannabe man!!

40. In response to Angie #37

We are all entitled to our opinions, but I don't waste my time opining on stuff for which I care not.

What I do not understand is, why you (and others) are wasting your DAUGHTRY time on Taylor Hicks? Time is precious, life is short, focus on what you like, not hate. Make love, not war. Try it, you will feel better and happier about things.

41. To all you haters, you are just jealous of Taylor. He's dating someone who has a master's degree in journalism from Columbia. She's no bimbo. You all look stupid, retarded and uneducated in comparison to Taylor's lady.

From her bio:

Ever since her very first interview with former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev as an intern in college, Caroline knew she wanted to report the news. She previously worked as a fill-in anchor and news reporter at WBNS-TV in Columbus, a leading Ohio news station, covering numerous stories of national interest, including the highway sniper case. She also served as a news reporter for television stations in New York and South Carolina, where she reported on the confederate flag debate. Caroline has held news production roles at CNN, National Public Radio and for the Alfred I DuPont-Columbia Awards – an organization that honors excellence in radio and television journalism. She earned a master’s degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

Caroline is an accomplished pianist and has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the 1994 All-State piano competition in Iowa. She enjoys traveling abroad to places like Egypt, Israel and Russia, and currently lives in Glendale.

42. Lighten up people and get lives. So what if they like each other?
Your lives must be so boring and uninteresting that you have to come onto a website and gawk at other people in photos and then bash them to make yourself feel better.

Good luck Caroline and Taylor - no matter where this adventure takes you both.

43. Ahhh....its so good to see Daughtry fans showing the true class that they have.

The one hit wonder (Daughtry) does have faithful lackies doesnt he??

I'm glad Taylor is enjoying himself. His concerts are AMAZING and I hope he had a nice rested vacation.

Cant wait to see him again and again and again!!

44. Thanks Caroline for your bio. He won't make you famous, just the talk of Milwaukee.
