Anderson cooper generally uses AC360's "RidicuList" segmentto skewer a weird local news story or a public figure's bizarre behavior. This week, he didn't realize his staff had instead written it about the awful scented candle on his desk until it was too late.
Anderson Cooper sure seems obsessed with Courtney Stodden. After coming to her defense earlier this week, Cooper once again rallied for Stodden on tonight's AC360, defending her right to pumpkin patch sexiness, expressing concern over her face, and even impersonating the titillating teen bride himself.
On Sunday, child bride Courtney Stodden seductively sauntered to a scintillating Santa Clarita pumpkin patch with her hoary husband, Doug Hutchison.

Before signing off each night, Anderson Cooper concludes AC360 with a segment called the "Ridiculist," during which he comments on some trivial bit of news or pop culture. It's a chance for Cooper to show off his less serious side, but he took things to a whole new level tonight when his own joke about French…
On tonight's AC360, Anderson Cooper did the unlikely: He made himself the subject of his "Ridiculist" segment, all because he'd previously doubted the literary talents of Jersey Shore's Snooki, who signed a second book deal today.
