Last night's screenshot

Here is one of several screenshots from last night's live broadcast from Pakistan. Cooper will be LIVE from there again this evening. 8p.m. EST. Check your local listings.

Also , he confirmed that he WILL be back in New York to host Cnn's New Years' special.

LIVE from Pakistan

Coop came back from his vacation and shall be reportng LIVE from Pakistan tonight. Of course the Bhutto tragedy made for a busy news day.

More from " Mole"

This pic is so great I posted it on my Myspace page. It is from " Mole" Season 2.

He should wear red more often, don't ya think?

" Mole" Anderson

I came across this on the Yahoo Anderson Cooper group of which I am a member. Its our man Coop with a bit of a tan! No joke. It is from his days hosting the " intelligent" Reality series" The Mole". To quote Rita:" Squee!" I heard that the Mole is on Fox Reality Channel. Sadly, I do not get to see it, as my cable company does not carry said channel. BOO!

*SQUEE* Sweeney Todd

OMG OMG OMG!!! So I drove 45 minutes to watch Sweeney Todd and WOW it was GREAT!! Johnny Depp is FANTASTICAL!! I just love his voice too!

Oh Johnny the things you do to me.... hahaha That's definately a weak spot for me, a gorgeous guy, who can sing, and is a AMAZING actor!!

Sorry folks but Depp is and will always be my number one!!

The music to the film is superb, I actually had to go out and buy the soundtrack! I was quite skeptical at first with the duet's between Johnny Depp and Alan Rickman, since Rickman has the deep, "silky" voice but OMG it was EXCELLENT!!

Sweeney Todd definately has an all star cast behind it (Depp, Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter, and Sacha Baron Cohen) and it's directed by the marvelous Tim Burton!

Man folks, if this movie was playing in my hometown I would definately be watching it OVER, AND OVER, AND OVER!!!

My *squee* level is just through the roof to the infinite degree!!!!

The movie is quite bloody, but it's not bad (well I dont think, but that's coming from a person who wants to be a criminalist and work at crime scenes...yeah maybe it is idk) It also has some very funny moments in it as well!!

So all in all, Sweeney Todd gets 2 thumbs WAY WAY UP! A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ :D

Ooh Ooh Baby: Anderson Cooper Style

This was inspired from my Johnny Depp fan vid I made to the same song. You can check out all the Ooh Ooh Baby vids on youtube. Made this video for Codeh.

I'll take some snark with that order!

Anyone else notice that the Coop has been full of snark as of late?

I don't know about you all, but I am enjoying this more playful side of our favorite newsguy. The 360 " glee club" on Friday had me rolling on the floor! ( literally, since I watch 360 while sitting on my floor) I love the fact that Coop gives us hard news news, but at times the monotony of the news cycle can be depressing. Trust me, I know! I am delighted to see the 360 staff and Coop having some fun this Christmas season. My only wish is that AC himself would have " busted a move" on the dance floor. But somehow I doubt that the viewing public will see Coop dance on live TV anytime soon.

And what is it with the Aerobics video on " What Were they Thinking?" Again, that segment had me laughing out loud. I am also glad to see Erica Hill back in Atlanta, I miss her fun banter with the Coop when she is not there. She makes him laugh and smile.: most of the Coop's snarkiest moments occur during his banter with Erica.

yet another Anderpic!

Wow...TWO pics of the Coop in one week. As a photographer, I like this one, it is slightly mysterious.

Did you all catch AC on Regis and Kelly? He was at his snarkiest self. I loved it.

New Years!

Hey Anderfans....Just a " heads up" for AC's New Years' Eve special.

Two legends!

I adore them both and HAD to post this pic of them from the Heros Special on CNN on Thursday! Read my " Journalist's Journal" blog for more commentary on AC and Amanpour and how awesome I think they are!

Congo Report

If you all have not seen it, it was excellent. AC is really at his best when he is in the field. I felt so badly for those poor gorillas and I am glad to see that the rangers are doing as much as they can to protect this beautiful species.

Anderson always brings stories that are either totally underreported or completely ignored. This is one of the reasons why I am such a big fan of him and his work. Journalists in general have a bad rap, but it is those such as Anderson Cooper who give new light and hope to the profession.

60 Minutes tomorrow

Anderson's report for 60 Minutes on the Congo will air tomorrow following the football game. I don't know about you all, but I am very much looking forward to this segment. I love his reports from the far corners of the world. In this trained journalist's opinion, Anderson and Christiane Amanpour are two of the best field reporters in the business.

CNN Heros was WOW!

Anyone who missed the CNN Heros special last evening, there is another chance to view it from 8-11 EST. I saw it last night and all I can say is WOW. Every person chosen by the panel is a hero and I am so glad that these sort of extraordinary folks were honored in such a public, international way. I had tears in my eyes and also these stories made my brain go into overtime. One person CAN make a difference in the world if she/he is determined enough to do so.

My favorite, if I must pick one, is the 12 year old boy who started the bone marrow program. He seemed so poised and mature. I will not divulge anymore incase there are any Anderfans who have yet to view this special.

The music was excellent. I really like Sheryl Crow's new song.

Anderson is an excellent host for these sort of events, and I enjoyed seeing and hearing from Christiane Amanpour as well. They make a good team and are the only reasons I view CNN at all. Amanpour is a living legend in the world of jounalism.

Regis and Kelly

Anderson will be on Regis and Kelly NEXT Friday. Set your TIvo's.

I am NOT a Kelly Ripka fan, but Anderson's snarky humor makes up for her dumb blonde act. I don't much care for Rege , either. Anderson is a natural on TV. I know he is a serious reporter and all, but I personally love seeing the more relaxed, humorous side of the talented Mr Cooper.

As for tonight's special, I am looking forward to it. Anderson and Christiane are both excellent, but their personalities are very different.

"CNN Heros" Special

Anderson and Christiane Amanpour will co-host a special " CNN Heros" on Thursday evening( LIVE) at 10 p.m. EST. This is well-worth watching. I saw Anderson and Christiane interviewed on LKL regarding the special and they said that, as well as honoring these everyday people, there will be live entertainment.

Changes....

Put your hard hats on everyone, the blog is going to get a new look! I've already made minute changes here and there! Hope everyone likes the new banner at the top of the blog!!!

Hope everyone is having a TERRIFIC day!! Mine has been great so far! I can't believe this is the last week of classes before finals!!! I'm so excited!!! I can't wait to actually start getting all my grad school stuff together and hopefully finalized soon!

Yet another Anderpic

A Myspace Anderfan sent me this pic from the debates this past week. I love it! He is so slender yet so attractive! ( sorry, I am such a bug fan of him and of course his journalism skills!)

Catch him tonight on Larry Ling Live!

Anderson and Christiane on LKL

I am not a big Larry King live fan at all, but I adore Christiane Amanpour, and of course, Anderson. They will be on Larry King Live this Sunday.

In my humble, professional, opinion, Coop and Amanpour are the only good assets that CNN has in their employ right now. I watch everythinh he does and everything she does, but other than that, I pretty much ignore CNN.

GOP Debate

Anderson did an excellent job last night.

However, the fact checkers at CNN made a huge faux pas. This was NOT AC's fault. CNN fact checkers did not do their job!Bad, bad journalism on the part of CNN. If it is one thing which I cannot stand, it is sloppy journalism.

DEBATE!

Don't forget to check your local listings for the CNN/YouTube debate this evening. Anderson will host. There will also be a special post debate 360 edition immediately following the debates. Three hours of Cooper this evening, yay!

Any thoughts on his apperence on " Ellen"?

AC to appear on " Ellen"

Yup, sources tell me that the Coop will be a guest on " Ellen" today. I am not sure what the topic will be, so I guess I will need to set my timer for the show.

In other news: it was so great to see Anderson back in the anchor chair last night. I am very much looking forward to the Republicans' YouTube debates tomorrow evening.

Randi Kaye's story regarding the doctors who refused to treat patients based on their( the doctors') religious beliefs FINALLY was aired last evening on 360. It was excellent.

Last Night's 60 Minutes

All I can say is....WOW! Anderson 's trademark integrity always impresses me, but I had tears in my eyes at the end of his segment. Plus, I learned a lot. For instance, I did not know that there is a marked difference between " minimally-conscious people " and those who are in a " persistant vegetative state". And Ambien, a very common sleep aid, who would have guessed that it could bring someone back from a state of low consciousness. It never fails to amaze me what medical science can do.
Anderson appeared to LISTEN to the folks he interviews, and this is what sets him apart from most mainstream television journalists. I usually do not watch 60 Minutes unless he has a segment OR the topic is of interest to me. This time both criteria applied.

*EDIT ADDED BY RITA*
If you missed the broadcast, you can find a segment that 60 minutes have posted on their website HERE The segment is about 12 and 1/2 minutes.

Off Topic Video Goodies!!!

For my fellow Ralph Fiennes fans:






Goodness...I just LOVE this man...can you tell? Is it really that obvious?! haha Hope you all had a great weekend!!

Welcome MAC!!!

I just wanted to thank Mac for jumping right in and contributing to the blog!! You're doing a TREMENDOUS job, keep up the great work, and I look forward to more of your entries!

60 Minutes Tonight!

Hey Anderfans.....don't forget to view 60 minutes this evening. Anderson has a piece. I am not sure when his report from the Congo will air, but reliable sources tell me that it most-likely will air early in 2008. I am really looking forward to viewing this particular segment.

I love Anderson's field reporting. In my opinion, field reporting is what he does best. Don't mistake me, I also love watching 360 live in his NYC studio, but at the same time there is nothing we journalist types love more than reporting from the field. He was amazing during the " Katrina" coverage. One of my favorite Andermoments was when he was taking that senator to task for blabbering about how" thankful" she was to all her politician friends.

He is an excellent writer and I, too, wish he would contribute more to the written form of journalism.

So, what are some of your favorite Anderson Cooper moments?

Changing the face of TV News

I came across this and just had to share. Now I know this blog is supposed to focus on Coop's work, but let us be real here. The guy is so good-looking! And if you think about it, he really is changing the way TV jourrnalism is and will be in the future.

I believe I read somewhere that AC has cornered the market among 18-35 year old viewers when it comes to TV news. To get most people in that age bracket to watch the news on a regular basis is somewhat of a miracle. I should know, as I am in the journalism business!

I have followed him since his days at Channel One( the only part of that morning commercial-fest aimed at schoolkids that I watched.) I admit that I did not really follow " The Mole" as I am NOT a fan of reality TV. But since the whole series is now on DVD I may see if I can save up my Christmas money and purchase a copy. Yes, I will watch anything with the talented Mr Cooper in it, even a cheesy reality show!

I am also hoping to buy the paperback book...with the bonus DVD. Does anyone know if he still writes for Details magazine? Usually I do not read books by famous people, but AC's book is different. I borrowed it from the library and read it twice.

YouTube debates

This will occur in St Petersburg, Florida. This time, it is the Republicans' turn to field questions from viewers. Anderson has a promo for the event on the CNN web site. Go there and chech it out or messege me privately and I shall send it to you in an e-mail. Regardless of one's political affiliation, I think it is imperative that folks view these YouTube debates. As Anderson said, these debates will and have changed the way TV debates will be in the future.

Anderson does such a good job with the debates, in my opinion,he should be the only CNN personel allowed to moderate the debates. What do you all think?

Coop to be on 60 Minutes

Coop will be on this Sunday's 60 Minutes. Watch it! I shall try to get some screen caps up from the report. He also was on the Glenn Beck show, I shall try and find a video of that apperence from YouTube.

Happy Holidays!

Well since the holiday's are pretty much around the corner, I thought I'd make and share some early holiday goodies :)



For all my fellow Ralph Fiennes Lovers, here's a Ralph holiday video to the same song (this vid was actually made before the Anderson one, and I personally think it turned out better)


And to my fellow Alan Rickman, David Caruso, and Robert Sean Leonard Lovers here's a 3 in 1 holiday vid:



Hope you all enjoy them!!! Have a safe and happy holiday season!

PIP

His best work EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was worth every minute. I saw it TWICE and would willingly see it again and again.

I've been an AC fan since his days at Channel One.
