andy says it ain’t so

630 — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 02:25:25 +0000

after some rumors started by “multiple insiders at cnn” (at least according to the wrap), anderson cooper emails his staff today to tell them that he has no plans to leave cnn. according to the rumors, andy is frustrated by his low ratings and is considering other offers when his contract ends next year. “one cnn on-air personality” also told the wrap that most cnn anchors were jealous of andy because he is utilizing all of cnn’s resources leaving them with very little for their own shows. i know andy is busy in new orleans covering the oil spill and that’s important news but he better do something about his ratings if he ever wants these rumors to stop. his secondary quarter ratings have gone down 28% from the same time last year.

anderson cooper.. with glasses (not so good)

630 — Mon, 31 May 2010 23:51:00 +0000

with a mom like gloria vanderbilt, you’d think anderson cooper would have a little more fashion sense. i mean, he’s got great taste in ties but he clearly needs some help with eyeglasses. he debuted the two new pairs of glasses he got last week on live with regis and kelly and let’s just say, he needs to go back to the store.

(and yes, they look exactly alike.)

why not call it the ’sacred bird’ or ’silver fox’?

somebody besides me and 630 wants to get a head start on celebrating what may be the greatest day–anderson cooper’s day of birth. to celebrate this momentus occassion, someone or some organization preferring to remain nameless has been posting the recipe for a a sweet libation called the “sweet coopie” all around new york’s chelsea neighborhood–they must not have heard that andy lives in a converted firehouse in the west village. we’d prefer it be called the sacred bird for obvious reasons, but also because the drink contains grey goose and some other stuff. we’ll buy the first drink for the anonymous celebrant on june 3, andy’s 43rd birthday if they change the name to the sacred bird or the silver fox ‘cause you know how much we love his shiny, full head of gray hair.

jonah360?

mr. andy cooper went swimming with the sharks for a story on 60 minutes (see below). he didn’t get eaten. unfortunately for him though his show is getting swallowed up (jonah in the belly of the whale-style) in the ratings along with his home network, cnn. according to a recent report from the new york times, “CNN continued what has become a precipitous decline in ratings for its prime-time programs in the first quarter of 2010, with its main hosts losing almost half their viewers in a year.” the main host refers to larry king but andy’s ratings for anderson cooper 360 (ac360) aren’t doing much better–”Mr. Cooper has long been regarded as the strongest host at CNN, but his show has suffered badly as well. For the quarter, Mr. Cooper dropped 42 percent in viewers and 46 percent among the 25-to-54-year-old audience that the news channels use for their sales to advertisers.”

at night time, cnn is getting killed by rachel maddow and glenn beck. i’m thinking maybe andy should reconsider a few options, like one with kelly or the one to take over for katie?

quality time with andy: anything but trivial

180 — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 05:22:07 +0000

the hotty-hot anderson cooper was back on regis and kelly and had a trivia rematch to see who knows the most about donald trump. who wants to win a match on this subject though? he lost and he’s ready for round three. i think the subject should be “coverage of andy on sacred bird.” here’s the footage and commentary reported by andy.

anderson cooper denies adoption rumors

630 — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:43:28 +0000

for some reason, the national enquirer didn’t have the same investigative team on anderson cooper as they did on john edwards. they reported that anderson was adopting a baby from haiti, quoting a longtime friend as saying “The death and destruction in Haiti made Anderson realize what’s really important.” anderson debunked the rumors by saying “While the plight of children in Haiti has touched us all, and I continue to cover the situation there closely, stories about me adopting a baby are false. I am not adopting a child, Haitian or otherwise.”

the enquirer should’ve known better. the sacred bird is too busy remodeling his new firehouse home and checking out snooki from the jersey shore.

andy cooper’s personal trainer is spilling the beans about how he keeps his #1 client in shape. seems the sacred bird works out at least 5 times a week and really likes to get his run on while building muscle. here’s the lowdown on the workout:

isolation: he focuses on one or two muscle groups a day for strength building and at least two days a week for endurance.
gym workout: a 1K run, 50 pull-ups, 1K run, 50 box jumps, 1K run, 50 body slams, 1K run, 150 push-ups and another 1K run.*
road warrior workout for planet in peril stints: running, push-ups, pull-ups.
likes and dislikes: likes upper-body work and running; his least favorites are legs and squats.

if you want to look like andy, his trainer tj johnson says “get yourself a carb chart, eat clean and avoid processed foods.”

* the article says that andy works out at the ‘local gym’. it sounds nice and normal but rumor around town is that dude works out at the super posh equinox training gym at the time warner center in nyc. it may be urban legend but entrance to the gym is by retinal scan and will set you back a cool $2K bones a month with a $5K initiation fee.

call it a fashion statement

get out those face mask folks because according to a study from purdue university, this is the week when the infection rate for the dreaded swine flu is at its peak. absent of vaccinations, “the model predicts that the peak wave of infection will occur near the end of October in week 42, with 8% of the population being infected during that week.” because the vaccinations are just now starting to get into the hands of physicans, it’s really going to be too late. the study predicts that by the end of the year, 57% of the population will be kissed by the swine.

no need to go running scared though. even though more than half the population will infected, only an estimated 25 will get sick from it. and if you do get really sick from it, count yourself lucky that you have something in common with anderson cooper.

rachel maddow, marilyn manson, sanjay gupta and now anderson cooper? seems like the h1n1 might’ve decided to get some celebrity endorsements to combat all the negative publicity. last night anderson found out that it might’ve been more dangerous than he thought when he was out in afghanistan.

and cause it’s all hip now, h1n1 even has its own little quiz on time.com
