How Anderson Cooper, Kathy Griffin + Lance Bass Will Give CNN The Gayest New Year’s

With Adam Lambert kicked out of ABC’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, there’s just about no competition for which network will have the gayest countdown: It will be CNN. That’s because, alongside in-house host Anderson Cooper and last year’s Kathy Griffin, Lance Bass will also be stopping by to take part in the gaystivities. We predict Kathy will make outrageous jokes, Anderson will cringe in embarrassment, and Lance will eye-fuck the revelers on the street.

Still pretty gay, I was hoping for Adam Lambert to get attached to this ticket. That would have been the gayest New Years celebration ever!

Lance and Kathy have been friends for years. She probably asked AC and/or CNN to include Lance in the NYE show as a favor to him since you’re right that Lance is no draw at all himself.

Everybody hates Anderson but not me, so there’s no way I’m missing this gay explosion. The only thing that would make it better is if Anderson French kissed his hot French bf on live TV at midnight.

They are a hot couple. Here’s a pic of AC and Ben in Berlin earlier this year:

That kiss could launch Anderson to world wide stardom. Like Adam Lambert we need more unapologetic gay icons sizzling the TV and Silver screens.

I wanted Adam Lambert on CNN’s New Year’s Eve coverage too. Hopefully he will be. He’s playing a 40 minute set at the Gridlock party in Hollywood on New Year’s Eve. Email CNN to get them to have cameras there.

Yes, Anderson is putting on some muscle mass. The other day I was watching his show and noticed how tight his jacket was. He still has a way to go before he’s as big as his boyfriend.

CNN New Year’s Eve coverage is the most fun.

I was going to the thing in Hollywood. I thought it was at Universal, but I guess it’s at Paramount, really skanky part of Hollywood. But I got a free trip to Vegas for New Year’s. Not that this is relevant, just wanted to keep you all abreast of my life. LOL I like Anderson. He looks like a younger version of one of my uncles, also gay. LOL

No matter how many times Anderson’s been “outed”, he never feels any pressure to announce that he’s gay, by now people ought to be able to figure it out for themselves. The signs have been there for years. The fact that he’s dating or perhaps even married to a gay bar owner doesn’t leave a lot to wonder about.

No, the Real Housewives of Every City ruined Bravo and then Miami Social pissed on the corpse.

Anyone else remember when Bravo actually covered the arts?

Anderson Cooper will have to be careful not to refer to Gloria Vanderbilt as his “mummy” and respond to Kathy with “Girl….”

After all, the audience is supposed to think Cooper likes poontang and not pecker.

As soon as Anderson started hosting he added a drag queen dropping in a giant high heel in Key West, then he added Kathy Griffin, and now the two of them are having on Lance Bass. Last year he was “oh, honey”ing Kathy and he lit up like a flaming xmas tree when Kathy mentioned someone looked like one of the Real Housewives. There’s no way anybody at CNN actually thinks people watching their big gay NYE extravaganza are seriously considering the notion of Anderson hankering after poontang.

I am so sick of Anderson Cooper playing it both ways. First of all, his show on CNN is at an all-time low in terms of ratings. Who is he giving blowjobs there too that this is allowed? He doesn’t have the chops to be a legitimate reporter, as hard as he tries and frowns and looks constipated, and he has not balls as a man to admit proudly he is a gay man in love with another man, who happens to own a gay bar and is not another reporter or intellectual.
Kathy Griffin keeps coasting on the D-list crap and laughing all the way to the bank, and she, along with the Real Wives of Hell and that gay guy on the Atlanta version, destroyed Bravo.
And Lance who???
What year are we in? Please CNN, this is so pathetic. I’ll pass.

@ TheProfessor

CNN is in the dumps for ratings all over. They need to make general changes.

Having it both ways is standard in the news industry. There are loads of people in the glass closet. AC is just the only one who takes shit for it.

Even Shephard Smith actually manages to escape criticism despite doing interviews with major publications like the New York Times and Esquire where he gets tongue baths for being so upfront and speaking the truth. This when closeted Shep has outspoken on air fits about all kinds of controversial things except gay issues or his sexuality and when he answers personal questions by saying he won’t talk about his private life only AFTER he misleadingly mentions a former beard wife.

Why is it that so many of the Gays feel it neccesary to piss all over some one who has been 100% supportive of the Gays like Kathy Griffin? Anderson Cooper has been mulling over actually comming out however he is in line for taking over Larry King’s show once he retires, and Cooper has been advised best to wait until after the decision is made to come out. And unlike the vast majority of Gays in public life he doesn’t actually deny the fact and is not seen constantly photographed with a beard whilst having no facial hair! And Lance at least he did come out, unfortunatly his career is kinda sorta ova. But he did buff himself up………..Point being is that there are thousands more deserving of being hated on than these three. And did ya eva think that CNN actually is targeting the Gays with this trio??????????

Because if you are a glass closeted gay news person who is not a cute white Vanderbilt guy the gay media does not have any time for you.

In Shep’s particular case the lack of pics of him on dates also may have something additional to do with him sticking more to things like craigslist hook ups.

Shep Smith was outed in the gay activist film Outrage. That’s the only time I’ve seen anyone give him any kind of hard time at all.

Shephard Smith is queer?

No, clearly he isn’t, because only Anderson is the one gay guy in the history of ever to not state his sexuality, which is why he and nobody else gets all the attention and petty insults. At least I think so, otherwise it would be way out of proportion and unfair to give the guy who is out in private a hard time for it for years now and skim over every other news personality who does the same, or are actually pretending to be straight.

No thanks. A stroke ridden Dick Clark is the way to spend New Year’s Eve. I don’t need a plastic surgery Kathi Griffin, a closeted albino Anderson and a irrelevant boy bander who came out to get press.

Kathy only ruined her part of Bravo. The rest is even worse. Housewives? Top Chief? Please. I like shallow as much as the next queer. But this stuff is a wading pool. And can’t we get things to balance it out, like some gay history, queer achievement, and serious taste and learning as opposed to those dingbats on queer eye.
But it’s hopeless. Culturally, Hollywood is a trailer park. And the community is too busy working for civil rights to make demands on the entertainment mafia. Oh well.

Kathy Griffin is being bashed because being “gay,” or being a part of the GBLT community does not need to be associated with being filthy and disrespectful. All she is doing is misrepresenting and thereby hurting the GBLT community. I consider myself very liberal, and a democrat, but trash does not equal the GBLT community, period. Anderson is a true gentleman and does represent everybody with class and dignity.

OMG! I didn’t know Anderson Cooper, and Kathy Griffith were doing New Years EVE! I was so busy trying to go out and have fun because Adam was being blacklisted that I didn’t think about that. Speaking of Adam Lambert, If you don’t know already there are some really great videos up on Youtube. So far I think the ones by ‘alreference’,and ‘sdlijroller’ are the best. If I find any more good ones I will let you know. If anyone here knows about some good ones please post it here. I will check back. This was better for Adam. He was the Star, and was able to sing more of his fantastic songs. AS for Anderson, please, I love him. Let him do what he wants, and how he wants. I love the dialogue between him and Kathy Griffith. I love the innuendo, and comedy timing they have with each other. Happy New Year! Tell Romeo I asked about his cat. I hope he is being good to that kitty.
