Nude photos were flying around the internet as soon as CNN announced former NYPD Blue star Andrea Thompson would present Headline News. The sexy blonde appeared naked in Manhattan Gigolo and also did some nude modeling work. Photos from both were soon on the world wide web. When in 2000 she left the hit cop show - where she played Detective Jill Kirkendall - she landed a job as a reporter on Albuquerque's Krqe-tv before moving to CNN where she starts next month. Now a former KQRE worker claims that Andrea once threw a tantrum in which she kicked a wall and quit in disgust. The ex-colleague says that Thompson messed up a story about a dog biting a man when KQRE went live to her in the field. "She missed her cue, " the newsroom mole says. "She wasn't ready and she stumbled through the story. It was really awkward. Once she got off the air, she blamed her cameraman for everything. She was yelling at him, saying that she wasn't going to put up with incompetent people like him. She kicked a wall and broke her foot. Then she stormed out and quit, but the managing editor of the station, a woman named Michele Donaldson, who's now the assistant news director, persuaded her to come back." KQRE news director Dan Salamone says that the tale of Thompson breaking her foot "was at the very least an exaggeration - I never saw a cast on her foot, " but acknowledged the possibility of Thompson losing her temper.
