In a marketing stunt that’s already paying off, Go Away Gray makers Rise-N-Shine are offering Anderson Cooper a million bucks if he uses their pill product, which has dubious claims, and keeps the gray (or rather, white) away for five years. It’s one of those obvious free publicity ploys that get stuffed into reporters’ inboxes, and for whatever reason this one went far and wide. (We get lots of teeth whitening press releases with offers for Kim Kardashian.) But Anderson isn’t even the best candidate for this product, since he looks good with gray hair. There are plenty of other pigment-free men who would be better served.
They are, in no particular order:
• Bill Maher
• Wolf Blitzer
• Tyne Daly
• Jon Stewart
• Barack Obama
And besides, if Anderson is going to market any pill, it should be one of those products pushed on late-night television that promise to “enhance” your manhood. After all, The Coop is a guy who keeps up with this.

My vote is for Jon Stewart–he’s the only one I’d really care to look at in an ad campaign. That or like Colin Firth…he’s starting to go grey in a non-flattering way, isn’t he?

Tyne Daly is a man?!? LMAO

Jon Stewart? No no no he looks good with the gray.

I don’t think this stuff has a possibility of working.
The pigment in hair color is created by a few cells in each hair shaft, and the pigment color that’s created depends on any of three chemicals that result in blue, yellow, and red.
Your hair turns white when the pigment-producing cells quit making pigment, and that’s not affected by “internal bleaching.”
One’s general health, stress, nutrition, disease, and trauma can affect what happens inside your hair follicule. But this product? Well, folks have been selling and buying snake oil for years. This is just more of the same.

Tyne Daly? FOFLMAO! That is funny.

@Ryan Tedder: you win the funniest post of the week, in my opinion, by including Tyne Daly in your list.
She is actually a very fine actor. And unlike many actors her age, parts of her face still move so she can still show emotions such as surprise, saddness, happiness and regret.
