The Lohan vs. Cooper Battle Continues

Earlier this week on Live with Regis and Kelly, guest host Anderson Cooper offered his unedited opinions about the “train wreck” also known as Living Lohan. (You can view that hilarious segment here.)

In addition to calling the Lohan clan “horrific people,” he said that Ali Lohan was “allegedly a 14-year-old girl” who “looks to be about 60.” (For the record, I completely agree with that remark.)

And as Cooper had predicted, it didn’t take long before Dina Lohan offered her response to the journalist’s comments. (After all, that’s how she makes her money. She picks up the phone and makes sure statements are retracted.) Later that day, the mama bear told OK! that the “cruel” anchor would get it in the end. “This is bad karma for him.”

Gotta Love Anderson Cooper

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Prime Time, Cable

Did you hear that 3.2 million viewers tuned in to watch the Larry King interview with Paris Hilton? Sadly, I was one of those 3.2 million (and I am in no way proud of that). OK, so I was reading at the same time, so the interview didn’t have my undivided attention. Nor should it. I’m surprised that they could even stretch an hour out of the whole thing. Seems there wasn’t much to say, but I did like how Larry asked her what her favorite bible passage was and she said she didn’t have a favorite. Classic. Anyway, onto Anderson Cooper, with his 360 following the interview. Poor Cooper was forced to dissect the interview with a panel of experts and it was obviously painful for him. I think it was more worthwhile to tune into Cooper’s uncomfortable play-by-play than to watch the actual interview itself. The story seemed to be of little importance to him, but he had to begin with this disclaimer, “We can’t be above the news of the moment.” From that intro, you knew he wasn’t going to have his heart in the game. At one point he commented, “Well, you know, I know, I don’t really, I don’t understand her. I don’t understand her appeal, I don’t understand what she’s done.” Classic. I’ve been a big fan of Anderson since his days of hosting the reality show The Mole. Ah, dry wit. How I love thee.

Angelina Jolie on Anderson Cooper 360

Posted by Auburn Scallon Categories: Specials, Editorial, News

“Angelina Jolie: Her Mission and Motherhood” on Anderson Cooper 360 was such a refreshing celebrity interview. Gossip magazine fans may have been disappointed by the lack of discussion and pictures of Brad and the new baby, but her choice to focus on the horrific conditions around the world that she is devoted to fighting brought me to tears. Compared to Britney Spears in tears last week over too much media attention, Angelina chose to use that media power to change the world. It may be a little sad that we as an American public need a celebrity name attached to a news show in order to bring our attention to world hunger, genocide, and the AIDS crisis, but what will define us now is what we choose to do about it. Angelina is an inspiration, as a celebrity, but more importantly, as a human being.
