Pretentious wasp Anderson Cooper accepted Ellen DeGeneres' invitation to her daytime television show, knowing full well there is a requirement to going on Ellen DeGeneres' daytime television show: YOU MUST DANCE. Except given what happened to newsmen like Chris Matthews and Wolf Blitzer before him, Cooper opted to merely walk out on to the set. Everybody now: BOOOOO! Of course, this isn't the first time Ellen and Anderson have dealt with The Dance before:

Just like he'll never come out publicly, he'll never dance publicly (on TV). Although on his show recently he said he was actually a good dancer and that he likes to dance, he just doesn't want his moves playing on YouTube for all eternity.
@Nitesurf: I guess that means we're never going to get dancing Anderson Cooper animated GIFs, hips gyrating hypnotically, sensible tie swaying lightly back and forth.
Crap.
@Andrew Triska, your description of an animated dancing AC is hot. I'd love to see the real Anderson shaking his teeny little ass, but he's so damn stubborn. Oh and I guess I better throw in "cowardly" and "closeted" to keep the AC haters happy.
BOOOOO! INDEED.
Ah, but Anderson actually has been given special dispensation from dancing by Ellen herself. When he sheepishly walked out on stage for his first appearance and said fretfully "I was worried you might force me to dance", she told him he didn't have to dance on the show if he didn't want to. Consequentially, we're missing out on all sorts of wriggling. He did slow dance with Kathy Griffin on TV, but that really doesn't make up for the lack of televised wriggling.
When did he become such a poor sport???
I remember when he went to tanning beds and leather shops, heck, just a couple months ago he hosted the puppedential debates on the daily show.
In the words of a great mystic and philospher:
"We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine"
BTW: closeted or uptight as he may be, he can call me anytime.
What a creep he is! A Bush cheerleader and right wing hack! He would be nothing if his mother was not Gloria Vanderbuilt!
I can't stop touching myself
He'll probably show off his dancing this weekend at the Black Party. He usually shows up for a while.
I still can't figure out why so many gay men care what this guy does.
According to the counter, images of Wolf Blitzer dancing were on the screen behind Anderson and Ellen sixty seconds after Anderson walked on stage. I don't know if his non-dancing walk on was planned, but the producers were certainly aware ahead of time that he would be walking on and they had the Blitzer clip ready to play.
Given his celebrity status and wealth (inherited or not), I think Anderson is amazingly UNpretentious compared to many in the industry. He is always conservatively dressed.
And a Bush cheerleader, hardly!
I think the root of much of the animosity toward Anderson is unacknowledged envy. He seems to have it all: looks, money, status, access.
Wasp, undeniably. But "pretentious"? C'mon, David.
@Dabq: lol lol lol

Exactly.
