Anderson Cooper: News anchor Anderson Cooper makes one thing clear: the Lohans are "horrific" people. Filling in for Regis Philbin on Tuesday, he has candidly talked about the "atrocious" E! reality show. The 41-year-old broadcaster was in the set of "Live with Regis and Kelly" and was conversing with host Kelly Ripa about reality shows. After doing an impersonation of a current "Project Runway" contestant, Cooper then focused on discussing the "worst show" he can't watch. Although admitting to watching "Living Lohan" 4 or 5 times, he bluntly says, "I cannot believe I'm wasting a minute of my life watching these horrific people." He continues, "'Living Lohan' is just atrocious. I mean this people, do you know about these people? I don't know anything about these people. Apparently they're quite well known." "And there's one Lindsay Lohan who apparently quite famous for doing all sorts of things. She's not even on the show. Somehow her mother got a show because of this person not even on the show." Cooper says that people are hoping to see Lindsay on the show because the family constantly refer to her on this show. But until she shows up, "we're stuck with these horrific people." He also describes 14-year-old Ali Lohan as looking about 60, all the while subtly criticizing the mother, Dina, for pushing her daughter to auditions.When Ripa tried to mellow the comments saying that they are a multi-talented family, Cooper resignedly says, "Hey sure. I don't know. Maybe that was in the episode I didn't see."

This is fantastically funny. Finally someone else with a brain and a knack to find garbage.
