Anderson Cooper's Thanksgiving Nightmare [Family Matters]
newVideoPlayer("/anderson_momthanksgiving_gawker.flv", 480, 360,""); Gloria Vanderbilt's youngest son has been using his mother as a foil since he appeared on the Tonight Show with her at age three. Anderson Cooper more recently brought his mother onto CNN to passive-aggressively scold him on Mother's Day and to provide the silver fox some sensible, embarrassing advice on the occasion of his 40th birthday. So when Cooper recently declined to invite his mother on a holiday trip to Egypt — "No! I wasn'

Mah Boo Swims With Sharks
Andy Cooper was on Regis & Kelly this morning to talk about his special on CNN tonight on the Earth's growing population. I wonder if he interviews the Duggars?

Mah Boo also told the NYDN that by swimming with sharks he conquered one of his childhood fears. He puckered up his sexy lips and said, "Sharks have always scared me, ever

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

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.
