Anderson Cooper is a sexy beast. He also has two last names, which is a bit unusual. Either way, the silver fox is known for making gray...
How would you like to wake up to the bluest eyes on television?
With Matt Lauer receiving more criticism than ever this week for the firing of Ann Curry - a New York article states their personal feud led to Curry's ousting - Deadline reports that Anderson Cooper was recently approached to replace Lauer as lead anchor of Today.
HOWEVER, Cooper balked when he learned Lauer was never contacted about his meeting with the network.
He may not have come out of the closet until last summer, but Anderson Cooper tells The Huffington Post in a new interview that he's never questioned his sexuality, not even when "I was a little kid."
"I can't remember a time when I wasn't aware of it, even before I knew what it was or the name of it," Cooper says.
Moreover, the CNN host - who faced oral sex simulation from Kathy Griffin on New Year's Eve - think "being gay is a blessing" and he "couldn't be more proud" of his preference.
What's more awkward than Kathy Griffin in a bra on live television?
Kathy Griffin simulating oral sex on Anderson Cooper during the duo's New Year's Eve coverage?
But that's exactly what CNN viewers were stuck watching Monday night, as the comedian attempted to make things as awkward as possible for her co-host throughout that network's broadcast.
"You’re scaring me,” Cooper said shortly after midnight, as Griffin kept referring to his "Christmas present." "This is getting to be the night bad things happen.”
Yes, a man who has covered tragedies in Rwanda, Lebanon and around the world was frightened by Kathy Griffin. And for good reason. Watch the vide now:
The Silver Fox strikes again!
During an interview with Judd Apatow, Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd from This is 40, Anderson Cooper got into a conversation with Rudd about the actor's affection for pickles.
After a bit of juice was squirted, the host jumped in with a joke made all the more funny by Anderson's gay admission in July.
Watch now to see what we mean:
Anderson Cooper just went blind, but lived to tell about it.
The CNN news fixture went on assignment last week for 60 Minutes in Portugal, and relayed his (temporary) experience with blindness Tuesday on his daytime show.
"I am in this beautiful coastal area shooting this story for 60 Minutes involving the water ... I don't want to go into details [on] what the story was," Cooper said.
"But I am on the water for two hours shooting this story and it's an overcast day. I wake up in the middle of the night, and it feels like my eyes are on fire."
When Anderson Cooper isn't dodging explosions in Gaza (see video below), he's going off on Twitter followers who accuse him of covering the Israel-Hamas conflict unfairly.
Pamela Weiss found this out first hand earlier in the week when she ripped his reporting from the Middle East. In response, he dropped a Twitter bomb of sorts on her.
Weiss, a self-described "social media junkie" and "foodie," criticized his story an Israeli air strike on a media center, writing "Report a fair story. Report facts."
Amazingly, AC noticed and responded: "ummmm.... I just did that and have been doing that repeatedly on twitter and on tv. Do you actually think before you tweet?"
The Silver Fox has been caged.
As first reported by The New York Times, Warner Brothers has given the axe to Anderson, effective at the conclusion of Season 2; the final episode of this talk show will air in the summer of 2013.
Said Anderson Cooper in a statement:
“I am very proud of the work that our terrific staff has put into launching and sustaining our show for two seasons. I am also grateful to Telepictures for giving me the opportunity, and indebted to viewers, who have responded so positively. I look forward to doing more great shows this season, and though I’m sorry we won’t be continuing, I have truly enjoyed it.”
On recent episodes of the gabfest, Cooper has slammed Bristol Palin and Star Jones.
On last night's Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars, Bristol Palin stormed out on partner Mark Ballas during rehearsal because he doesn't want to be her partner.
Anderson Cooper is calling BS ... and calling it brilliant TV.
"Anyone on a reality show knows that to get attention, you have to have a have a wardrobe malfunction, throw up, have a breakdown, have a storyline," he said.
Anderson Cooper positively destroyed Star Jones during a taping of his talk show this week.
Sitting alongside Andy Cohen, the reporter addressed Jones' comments that Cooper only came out as gay in order to garner ratings for his program.
"I haven't thought about Star Jones in I don't know how long," Anderson begins, as seen below. "I was unaware she was even on TV..."
From there, Cooper - who simply sent an email to his friend while on assignment for 60 Minutes - logically explained why Star's assertion is utter nonsense.
Thank you, Anderson Cooper.
The world's most pathetic reality star appeared on this host's talk show yesterday, whining as usual about her innocence... and how she's a victim... and how she's constantly under attack...
... when Cooper stepped in and tried to shut Teresa Giudice up by telling her she sounds like a 12-year old. Watch the outstanding exchange now:
Teresa, of course, has been making headlines ever since The Real Housewives of New Jersey aired its season finale.
