Anderson Cooper Doesn’t Like Vince Vaughn-VIDEO
October 8, 2010 By Leave a Comment
It appears that Vince Vaughn has crossed paths with the wrong silver fox: The Dame’s boo, Anderson Cooper.
In the video above, Cooper explains how upset he was when he saw a preview for Vaughn’s upcoming film “The Dilemma.” The movie, which is directed by Hollywood hot-shot, Ron Howard, stars Vaughn as a man who learns that his best friend’s wife is having an affair.
In the preview, Vaughn’s characters uses the phrase, “That’s so gay,” which prompted Cooper to throw some shade.
Via Just Jared:
“Someone else I talked to recently said that the words people use and the things people say about other kids online, it enters into their internal dialogue. When you’re a kid, it can change the way you see yourself and the way you think about yourself – the worth that you give to yourself. I think we really need to focus on what language we’re using and how we’re treating these kids.”
No word yet on whether or not Howard plans to remove the clip from the preview or film entirely.

Ben Affleck’s Grey Hair – PHOTOS
September 8, 2010 By Leave a Comment
In Hollywood it is sexy for man to sport a head full of grey hair. George Clooney, Anderson Cooper, Richard Gere and Harrison Ford are all considered sex and have a full head of silver mane. Even some women are able to keep the appeal. Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep and Betty White managed to keep a career alive, but you know if Jennifer Aniston let the grey dominate she would say good bye to her rom-com paychecks.
Ben Affleck is joining the grey and proud. He was rocking a head full of grey hair at the 67th Venice Film Festival on Tuesday afternoon. However, his hair was soon dyed back to a dark brown for today’s photocall (red backdrop in the photos below.)

Chely Wright: I’m Gay
May 3, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The rumble in the gossip world of a star coming out on the May 5th cover of People Magazine has been keeping us guessing which closeted star is going pop out of the closet. Initially my guess was Anderson Cooper. This was shot down as more hints leaked that it was someone in the music industry. Being that Queen Latifah is a lover of the ladies I entertained the idea. However, the Queen has a rom-com coming out so this would be terrible timing.
TMZ has announced the future openly gay star to be Chely Wright. She is a country singer who boasts hits like “Single White Female,” at one time dated Brad Paisley and also has a book coming out. Being that I am not a fan of the country (despite the fact I came from a town in which people drove riding lawn mowers proudly to school), I had no idea who she was. So she was best described by my sidekick who dabbles in rodeo fetish: “I think she was like the Taylor Swift of the late 90’s.”
It was being kept a guarded secret as my generous bribes of free tickets to Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University; DVD box set of season two of “The O.C.” and dinner for one at Bennigans were snubbed. I knew I should have thrown in and autographed copy “Who Let the Dogs Out.”
Alas, I didn’t need to fork over my Baha Men signed CD. Wright out-ed herself via her Facebook (see screen grab below). The May cover was known be coming out issue and she asked y’all to buy the issue featuring her on Tuesday. Stealth. Very Stealth.
Her book and new album also come out on Thursday so this is a publicist’s wet dream.

Anderson Cooper To Adopt Haitian Baby – UPDATE
February 4, 2010 By 3 Comments
It’s a special day: today the Dame has passed the bottle of Grey Goose and all stories of her beloved Silver Fox, Anderson Cooper, to me. Yes, she’s likely drunk, but I am running with it.
The National Enquirer is reporting today that Anderson Cooper and his boyfriend Benjamin Maisani, are planning to adopt a Haitian baby left orphaned following the devastating earthquake that recently rocked the small nation.
While saving all kids of folk in Haiti (read more about that by clicking here), Coop’s man-friend Ben has been busy renovating an old New York Firehouse (which our friends at Gawker are affectionately referring to as the ” big butch firehouse of love”) that the two will move into shortly.
Via Gawker:
“After saving one on national television, Anderson is said to be bringing home a Haitian orphan of his own and will raise it with Maisani. Cooper’s transformation into Madonna is complete!”
Is it really bad of me to want to fly to Haiti to see if I could be considered as one of Cooper’s choices?
Too bad the Silver Fox isn’t adopting. Cooper Twittered his response to the rumors of an adoption.

Anderson Cooper Saves Haitian – Photos and Video
January 19, 2010 By 1 Comment
Good Lawd! I have a thing for Anderson Cooper and make no secret about the fact I want to make silver haired babies with him. Yes, I know. I am barking up the wrong tree, but he is delicious.
Anderson is in Haiti covering the tragedy of the quake that has left so many lost. While doing another story, a looting began complete with guns fire. Of course The Silver Fox is a hero and ran towards the looting to save a young Haitian.
Per Cooper’s Blog:
“We were covering another story when we heard shots being fired. We ran toward the sound and found a store being looted. Two Haitian police officers were occasionally firing into the air to try to keep order, but that only worked for a few moments, then the looting would begin again.
They were stealing boxes of candles. An American businessman named Tony who owns two stores nearby barricaded one street to keep looters away. He had armed the two Haitian police with automatic weapons, and they were assisting him, but they were not able to control anything beyond their barricade.
It quickly became a free-for-all. Young men began fighting one another for the stolen items. A number of young men had knives, and planks of wood, screwdrivers and rocks. They were using their improvised weapons to threaten and injure others who had stolen items from the store. The robbers were now being robbed. One group of looters whipped another man with a leather belt. They punched him as well, and they stole the sack of goods he’d just stolen.
I was in the midst of the melee with Charlie Moore, my producer, Neil Hallsworth my cameraman, Vlad Duthiers, my translator, and there was a still photographer from Getty Images with us, photojournalist Jonathan Torgovnik. As things got really out of control, I saw a looter on the roof of the store they’d broken into throw what I think was part of a concrete block into the crowd. It hit a small boy in the head.
I saw him collapse. More chunks of concrete were being thrown at the looters on the roof. The injured boy couldn’t get up. He’d try and then collapse again. Blood was pouring from his head. He was conscious but had no control over his body. I was afraid someone on the roof would see him lying there and throw another cinder block piece onto him. I was afraid he’d get killed. No one seemed to be helping him.
I ran to where he was struggling, and picked him up off the ground. I brought him to a spot about a hundred feet away. I could feel his warm blood on my arms. I stood him up, but he was clearly unable to walk. He wiped his bloody face, and I tried to reassure him. He had no idea where he was, and he clearly couldn’t walk, so I picked him up again and handed him over to someone behind that makeshift barricade. Tony, the American businessman, gave the boy a wet towel. He was then taken away by someone else. We don’t know what happened to him.
I hope he’s ok.”
Yes, Virginia. There is a Silver Fox. This man is like sex on a stick dipped in lube and sent from the gods.

CNN Bans Kathy Griffin
January 5, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Kathy Griffin managed to land a gig co-hosting CNN’s New Year’s Eve special with Anderson Cooper, and after a couple of risky comments and dropping the ‘F-bomb’, its a safe bet to say she won’t be asked to co-host again. Infact, its a sure bet – CNN has banned her.
Per PopEater:
“She was a total embarrassment to the network that calls themselves ‘The Most Trusted Name in News.’ Even Anderson (Cooper, her co-host) thinks it’s time to say goodbye to Kathy,” a CNN insider tells me.
Griffin’s potty-mouthed New Year’s Eve shenanigans included asking for a “bump” of cocaine, theorizing on Anderson Cooper’s pleasuring habits in front of a mirror and asking if he has a ‘safe’ word, and referring to Balloon Boy, Falcon Heene, as “F*****g Heene.” Cooper, like the true newsman he is, just shakes his head and offers a small, embarrassed laugh, and calls her “terrible” before carrying on with the broadcast. CNN quickly issued a statement on Griffin’s behalf, apologizing for her use of “profanity,” but I think they would have seemed more sincere if they apologized for hiring her in the first place. Griffin has yet to offer up an apology herself, which isn’t surprising since she’s never apologized for being obnoxious before.
Anderson Cooper Shacks Up With His Lover, Will Announce He is Gay
November 24, 2009 By 2 Comments
In my fantasy world, I am Anderson Cooper’s neighbor. In the evenings, we take martinis on the balcony while trash-talking the bitches at Fox News and eating boxes of Little Debbie Zebra Cakes. It’s my happy place.
Now, it seems, I have to make some room in that happy place for Cooper’s rumored lover, gay bar owner Ben Maisani.
According to the National Enquirer (i.e. take it for what it’s worth), the Silver Fox and Maisani have been together for around 8 months and are now taking the plunge into his-and-his real estate.
“Anderson has found his ‘Mr. Right’ in Ben. Their relationship is so solid they want to move in together, and they’ve been looking at Manhattan real estate. Anderson firmly believes that media members should keep their personal lives private, but for years he’s dropped hints that he’s gay. Now that he’s with Ben – who is certainly not shy about his sexuality – Anderson is seriously considering publicly acknowledging his sexuality.
The couple also are rumored to have recently returned from a romantic getaway to India. Whatever happened to body-shots in Cancun? Ah, romance is so dead. Regardless, I cannot wait for the People magazine cover of him rolling in women’s shoes and glitter with the words ‘Yup, I’m Gay’ on the cover.
Anderson Cooper Drunk with Diane Sawyer – Video
January 23, 2009 By 1 Comment
YES! I love Anderson Cooper and a drunk Anderson Cooper is even better. He followed in the footsteps of a tipsy and slurring Diane Sawyer. She got trashed while covering the Inauguration. (See that video HERE. It is hilarious and involves hooker boots.)
Kathy Griffin New Years Eve Obscenity – Video
January 2, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Bwhahahah!
YES! Kathy Griffin was celebrating the New Year with Anderson Cooper on CNN. The conversation went from talking about Anderson’s favorite topic, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” to Kathy spouting obscenities at hecklers. She through out the “d” word on CNN.
“I’m working! “I don’t go to your job and knock the d*cks out of your mouth!”
Her potty mouthed comment made it to the air live. However, CNN is filled with old farts who are offended by peen jokes and they censored it for future feeds.
I am guessing that during the commercial Anderson was giggling like a school girl and giving Kathy snaps.
