The job market is tough. It's just as hard getting a job as it is holding onto one and Albanian news anchor Enki Bracaj can attest to both statements. In September the 21-year-old made headlines when she landed a news anchor job at Albania's Zjarrr TV after her eye-popping audition which she showed up mostly topless to. Bracaj, who first checked in with her parents before she pulled the bold stunt, previously said she knew it was hard getting into the "world of television." "So it was obvious that if I wanted to make it I had to be brave and offer something different," said Bracaj who was also trying to boost the channel's ratings. After heating up the news for just three months Bracaj has reportedly been fired after posing for Playboy.

In a confusing move, the network has replaced Bracaj, not with a more conservative anchor that’s not going to strip down for Playboy, but with an even more topless news anchor. Bracaj's topless successor is Greta Hoxha, as seen above. If Bracaj can't keep her job with a gimmick like that there's no hope for the rest of us.
