Anderson Cooper: The New Yorker gets all political again with this take on Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin's ridiculous assertion that her home state of Alaska's proximity to Russia qualifies as foreign policy experience - the very same assertion that stuns Anderson Cooper into submission?

Anderson Cooper's New Boyfriend Starring In New Movie About Stalking CNNers
The "spot Anderson Cooper's boyfriend" game started at least as far back as 2006, when we spied a one Julio Cesar Recio, then 24, enjoying outings with Silver Fox. Now downtown gossip queen Michael Musto kicks off the fall season of stalking Cooper's love interests by laying down a smidgen of a plant: "No, wait, this is better. Anderson Cooper. Jonathan Chase. Discuss at length." A subtle nudge toward somebody's manhood? Or a command to search on IMDB? Because that would

I know this is traditionally a slow news time but wow, it's a desert out there! Is everyone in Hollywood sleeping? Are they becoming addicted to CNN election coverage like I am? Well, I managed to tear myself away from Anderson Cooper to do a little Cinematical work (and it's hard, 360 runs on such an endless loop that it's kind of like spending a delightful eternity with him), you'd think someone in Tinseltown could option some graphic novels or cast Captain America. Sheesh. Anyway, here's what we've got t

Anderson Cooper Has One New York Regret: Never Seeing That Drag Show [Anderson Cooper]
Anderson Cooper, CNN anchor and alleged dater of many fellows, has one great regret in his New York life. He has never seen a Kiki & Herb show. Kiki and Herb being, of course, singer/actor Justin Long in drag as old showbiz wash-up Kiki and Kenny Mellman as her devoted accompanist Herb. They tell wonderful showbiz stories and sing delightful covers of some really random songs. And the Coop has never been! He tells TONY of his drag cabaret shame: If you could have a drink with another Top 40 person—J

Jay-Z featured in “Time Out New York”
Niiiiice. Jay-Z featured with a bunch of other celebrities like Tina Fey, Anderson Cooper and a whole bunch of other celebrities (too many to mention). While I enjoyed reading the interview, try and guess under the hood which question made me cringe. “What about favorite moments? Jay-Z: Damn. What comes to mind? Jay-Z: That’s a difficult one. I always relate it back to music—I don’t have a life outside of that. Playing the Garden, headlining that for the first time, was—Oh! I have my grea

 Things from interview that I would like to see: 1) Tim Gunn in shorts and a T-shirt at Dunkin Donuts. 2) Tim Gunn on a date with Anderson Cooper set up by Time Out New York magazine. 3) Anything good to happen so that this sad quote is no longer so true and lonely sounding: "There’s nothing I like better than going to my apartment, closing the door, cooking my little dinner for one and just tuning out." That made me cry a little. 4) Tim Gunn running do

Genetic Secrets Of Media Celebs [Celebrity Science]
Sure, you knew Anderson Cooper was the adorable unicorn of TV news anchors, but did you know he is so incredibly magical he can roll his tongue into a "really complicated four-leaf clover?" He can! Tongue-rolling is a genetic trait, but one can't help wonder if Cooper has had some practice. He apparently shows his skills only to certain, uh, special friends, like fellow closeted media personality Barry Diller, who, no joke, compared tongue technique with Cooper at a special retreat in Idaho. Some Google peo

Anderson Cooper Owns Triumph the Insult Dog
Anderson Cooper passed Triumph the Insult Comic Dog a note at the Republican Convention that read: Triumph - I poop on You Anderson’s reaction when Triumph talked about two guys climaxing was priceless. What do Anderson and Triumph have in common? A much longer, and an extremely funny clip of Triumph at the Republican Convention is below.

Filed under: Late Night, Video, Celebrities, Talk Show, Reality-FreeI thought I'd get this in before we get too far away from the Republican National Convention. Conan O'Brien sent Triumph The Insult Comic Dog to St. Paul last week to cover the convention, and as usual the results are hilarious. He manages to get an interview with CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. Well, at first Cooper just sends him a note from across the convention hall (I won't spoil for you what the note says) but Triumph finally gets a face

Anderson Cooper in USA Weekend
Interview: Anderson Cooper off camera By Monica CollinsRoving reporter, world traveler, hipster, jokester, anchorman, rich kid, loner, geek -- CNN's Anderson Cooper is a Renaissance man for a digital age. Cooper, a three-time Emmy winner, stands up to politicians, stares down weather catastrophes, challenges the mighty, empathizes with the afflicted and collapses into laughter on live TV. The 41-year-old shows various colors, including famous shades of gray. Our time with Cooper began in ABC's studios in Ne

Uncreative Slogans en Vogue
"Style is how you live" is the new slogan for Men's Vogue, the magazine that is careful not to traffic in "fashion," which is too girly, but "style," which is masculine enough for its status-obsessed readership to buy into. Apparently, so are slogans. Somebody please set it to a MIDI tune so we can make it a ringtone, then sell it under a partnership with Kenneth Cole to cure AIDS.

Anderson Cooper is not emo!
Filed under: News, Celebrities, Reality-FreeNo, that doesn't say "Elmo," though I could understand the confusion because Anderson Cooper was on Sesame Street last year. I mean emo. USA Weekend interviews Cooper and he talks about a lot of subjects, from the places he hasn't gone in the world that he'd like to visit (China), what's on his iPod (Marisa Monte), what he watches on TV (Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List?!), Hurricane Katrina, that he hasn't gone to the dentist in five years (I used to be like

There are always celebrity 'when they were young' posts but what about the people we turn to each night to get our blood boiling? Yes, there are two pictures of Anderson Cooper but I couldn't resist that crazy ass baby photo!

Pick A Side: Anderson Cooper Vs. David Blaine
Just kidding, we're all on the same side, here. Anderson Cooper, who has lately found the confidence to voice his opinions about such uncontroversial subjects as Living Lohan, once again used his status as America's Dream BFF by speaking out against the cultural tyranny that is "The David Blaine." Joel McHale reports: Does anyone like David Blaine? When he first came out (you know, on cassette) I thought he was the antichrist. Anyway, it's funny because Anderson Cooper hates David Blaine, and it's fun

The trades apparently read yesterday's tirade about their not being any news -- because as weird luck would have it, everything hit the wire as I was getting my Anderson Cooper fix. (I'm not making that up for the sake of cuteness, it's true. The evening is not complete until I discover I lost the 360 Challenge ... again) Now, to the headlines: Being the sole man alive never meant you couldn't get a franchise! Variety reports that Warner Bros is putting a prequel to I Am Legend into production. The p

News Teams Improvise for Hurricane Gustav
With a major hurricane moving toward New Orleans and the Louisiana Gulf Coast, CBS News anchor Katie Couric is departing the Republican convention in St. Paul, Minn., while other TV and cable networks shuffle anchors and correspondents to cover the storm. The changes reflect the demands placed on news networks that are scrambling to cover back-to-back presidential conventions and a looming natural disaster that could rival Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans in 2005. The long-planned schedule

Barack Obama On Hurricane Gustav Relief Efforts
Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama took to the airwaves Monday night for an exclusive interview on CNN's 'Anderson Cooper 360' -- weighing in on Hurricane Gustav relief efforts. Fresh off of his historic nomination at last week's Democratic National Convention, Obama told Anderson Cooper he is satisfied with the handling of relief efforts for Hurricane Gustav, which hit landfall on the Gulf Coast Monday. "We have seen the evacuation of two million people, with relatively few glitches,"

Desperate Denver Journos Just Reporting on Each Other [Journalismism]
There's no news in Denver. At least, no news that couldn't be reported by watching it on C-Span from the comfort of home. So what to do? Report on what all your fellow journalists are doing! So far, the single greatest example of this is HuffPo's constant reportage from their own "HuffPost Oasis" in Denver. At left, an unretouched screengrab from their front page today. The Oasis is remarkably popular with journalists, considering that we have no idea what goes on there but we don't think it involves free b
