Anderson Cooper Hunts Sharks, Monkeys and Wild Rats
There’s this Anderson Cooper Twitter feed that CNN has. Do you use that yourself? Do you know how many followers you have? Do you have your own Twitter?
I don’t know how many followers there are. Do you know?
About 6,000.
We do this live blog during the broadcast, which I contribute to pretty much every night.
Have you met [Real Housewives of Atlanta star] NeNe yet? [She told the New York Post this week, "He's my biggest fan and I'm gonna see him tonight. I love Anderson, and I know all about those messages he's been sending me. I'm gonna give him kisses and tell him how cute he is when I see him tonight."]
No, I have not met NeNe yet.
She’s supposedly following you.
I think she’s dealing with some other issues right now, from what I hear.
And you’re still doing New Year’s for CNN?
Yes, Kathy Griffin and I will be doing New Year’s.
You have new competition from Luke Russert and Amy Robach.
Uh, well, good for them, there’s plenty of room. I think we have a good track record on New Year’s Eve, so the more the merrier.
If you were interviewing yourself, what would you ask yourself?
I wouldn’t waste the time or energy on me.

When is this hypocrite going to come out of the closet already? He dodges questions about his sexual orientation by categorically insisting he doesn't publicly discuss his personal life, then goes and publishes a book on the profoundly personal subject of his pain over his brother's suicide. He will have ZERO credibility as a reporter until he stops the double-speak.
And I was watching his live broadcast the night he prematurely- and falsely- reported (before seeking proper confirmation) that the Sago miners had survived the mine's collapse. It was one of the most appalling things I've ever witnessed. He should be eternally ashamed of his handling of that tragic event. No award for reporting on my hometown's losses to Katrina will ever make up for that in my book.
