Straight-laced newsman Anderson Cooper gabbed with lesbian entertainer Ellen DeGeneres this morning. We never would have guessed, but CNN's super star can talk trash with the best of 'em. While discussing his reality show addiction, Cooper offered his two cents on MTV's Tiara Girls: "It's like, low-rent beauty pageants. It's like, the Miss Filet of Steak Pageant from Philadelphia." Like, Grrrrl!

The Coop also tells DeGeneres that he's addicted to Paula Abdul's train wreck, Hey, Paula!. He'll be straight-up heartbroken to hear the show got the ax.
