"It's like amateur night."
…Cooper doesn't like ringing in the New Year… "Each year it gets worse and worse, and then I always think it can't get any worse, and then it always does," he told Paper magazine. "No matter where you go, I think everyone is having a bad time on New Year's. There's so much pressure. It's like amateur night." The ever-professional Cooper will be joined tonight by queer-friendly comedienne Kathy Griffin. It's a match made in heaven… [Image] |

Chivalry Is Dead
Perky and bright-eyed, the gray haired wonder gabbed about his encounter with a group of drunk girls, which he then proceeds to imitate. Rather than engaging the intoxicated youth, the 40-year old New York did what he always does when faced with strange interactions: he pretended to talk on his Blackberry. Cooper's plan would have worked out swimmingly had the ladies recognized him. Unfortunately, they didn't and one asked, drunkenly, "Were you on a nature show?" The Coop attempted to thwart their inquisition with his imaginary phone call, which he finally aborted when the brazen babes mistook him for John McEnroe. Coop proceeded to fag out: "I was insulted… John McEnroe is like fifty!" Girl, we would have flipped, too. Don't worry, Coop fans, Anderson got the last laugh: he stole their cab. Meanwhile, Cooper doesn't appreciate Kelly Ripa's touch. |

Plus, Ellen Ups The Animal Activist Ante
Anderson Cooper has a huge photographic portrait of his iconic mom, denim designer Gloria Vanderbilt, taken when she was young, hanging in a guest room in his Manhattan loft - and it's a huge hit with his guests, said a spy. "People always go in there to check it out." Too bad it's not in his bedroom, huh? Wait, that would actually be creepy… |

"My flesh crawls from the old queen."
From there, Savage launches a verbal assault on "Anderson Blooper" and Keith Kerr, the retired brigadier who asked the presidential candidates about Don't Ask, Don't Tell. And, from what we gather, Savage isn't so keen on Kerr: I don't care about this old queen, frankly. He disgusts me to make — my flesh crawls from the old queen. That was a general? Now you wonder why we're still in Iraq five years later. General — with General Keith Kerr, you know why we're still in Iraq five years later. That's all. He wasn't just racking up cue balls at the pool table. I'm sick of it! I'm sick of the whole country, it's like Rome! It's melting down like Rome! Christ, won't someone feed Savage to the lions, already? The 65-year old commentator also commented on Cooper's sexuality: "Why don't you enlist, Anderson? I'm not saying you're gay. But you certainly could enlist if you're so interested in "do ask do tell."" |

Candidates Get Down On Gays In The Military
The CNN/YouTube debates sure were straight last night, huh? We had to wade through immigration, Iraq and the economy before we got our 'mo moment. For those of you who came and went before the blessed event, we'll fill you in: homosexual and Retired Brigadier General Keith Kerr inquired:
Well said, if you ask us. We break the candidates down, after the jump. |

Gay Heritage Video Moves Past Closet
Hats off to Yellow Pages and SearchBoth, which have teamed up for this informative, but maudlin Gay Heritage video. As you can imagine, the reel shows us the real history of homo happenings throughout the ages. What's most intriguing, however, is that the companies included "glass closeted" Anderson Cooper among a modern day queer montage. Perhaps they didn't get their facts straight. Also, we don't recall Barry Manilow ever coming out, either… |

Actress Needs To Open Her Eyes
It's been nearly two years since Renee Zellweger divorced rumored homo Kenny Chesney amid charges of "fraud". Though older, the pinch-faced actress hasn't grown any wiser. Not romantically at least. From Harper's Bazaar: "I'm not a big scene girl," she says of the celeb pack. "If I see the scene once a year, that's more than plenty." She describes a perfect night in: "Anderson Cooper would probably be involved at some juncture." Someone break it to her easy… |

No Rest Until Planet No Longer In Peril
When CNN producer David Doss announced that Planet in Peril would probably become a regular feature on Anderson Cooper 360, Cooper groaned, “Jesus Christ! We really need to solve this whole environmental thing quickly, because I really don’t want to do it again.” That's the best reason to recycle we've heard - well, ever! |

George Clooney's Got Swish
You can't tell by this snap, but CNN's Anderson Cooper's reacting to Whoopi Goldberg's enticement, "We will be right back with fall footwear for under 50 bucks." Cooper's totally forgotten that our planet's in peril - the reason for which he appeared on the show. He's definitely thinking, "Shoes!" Not convinced? Head to Gawker to watch the video. It'll take your breath away. Meanwhile, we're not sure if George Clooney's playing princess in this picture, but he's looking a bit light… |

Anderson Cooper's Gay Friends Misinformed
They've made a grave error in giving millions to abstinence programs. They don't work. They were told in the beginning that it wouldn't work. It's a tragic waste of money. Please don't listen to those idiots. God almighty. Meanwhile, Anderson Cooper, who also appeared at the gala, explained that his "young gay friends" underestimate AIDS: I talk to young gay friends in New York, and some of them seem to think the AIDS problem is a thing of the past. … The reality is that it's getting worse, not better. Yes, yes it is… |
