Anderson Cooper Tired Of Bear Jokes

When dreamboat CNN anchor Anderson Cooper found footage of an adorable younger bear for his show in April, he couldn't get enough of the "cute" and "cuddly" creature. But tonight, after AC360 co-host Erica Hill narrated footage of an older, larger bear, Cooper seemed to get a little grizzly, asking "What is with this program and bears?" Why, only your bread and butter and honey, Anderson! The bedrock of your credibility! What happened to being the "most trusted name in bears?" It's summertime, these guys will be out in force, and there's no going back now. Besides, Hill has a killer merchandising idea, click the thumbnail at left for details. It's only a few more months, that shouldn't be too much to b... well, ya, you get the idea.

The Inevitable Anderson Cooper Bear-Love Mashup

Speaking of Anderson Cooper, someone has, of course, remixed the CNN anchor's coverage of an adorable bear and posted it to YouTube. Cooper, America's secret boyfriend, did ask people to send in sightings of cute bears to his website, so consider making him aware of this one, if you think it's sufficiently cute. Otherwise, make your own mashup of a bear that might be more to Cooper's liking. (We would, but we're still trying to figure out Cooper's tastes.) Also, NB to Anderson: Though the internet is great for survey work, there are special places you can go to look at bears live and in person.

Anderson Cooper: "The Most Trusted Name in Bears"

CNN heartthrob Anderson Cooper devoted a couple minutes of his program to AN ADORABLE BEAR last night! Seriously. "Frankly I can watch this bear for hours," said Cooper. How does Anderson know so much about bears? His exciting answer to that question may be found in the attached clip! (We suspect he may be exaggerating the breadth of his knowledge.)

HuffPo Blogger Wonders Where the Ladies Are

According to her bio, Jessica Wakeman is "an associate blog editor at Huffington Post." We are not really sure what that means except that she writes totally adorable blog posts about media and all the people in media who she loves, like a little Rachel Sklar. Last time we checked in, she was distraught to learn that to "make it" in New York, "you need a strategy." Her mentor Vanessa Grigoriadis told her! Gosh! Wakeman decided she better stick with the web, a safe space for earnest and sincere young women, where Wakeman can work on writing about important cultural things, like her idol Vanessa or "Ariel Levy or Emily Nussbaum." Today, Wakeman is a little bit upset at her favoritest magazine ever! More »

If You Use Enough Big Words You Can Almost Convince Yourself It's Not Celebrity Coverage

In the wake of City Journal's complex deconstruction of the Paris Hilton mystique comes this Salon exegesis of celebrity pregnancy. Sample quote:
As their progesterone levels soar, their very cravings become matters of public record, as in the case of Toni Braxton, who for nine months pined for Doritos and Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats; Victoria Beckham, who battened on smoked salmon; and Angelina Jolie, who stuffed herself with Reese's Pieces, which she had flown into Namibia from the Hershey factory in Pennsylvania. What's more, we download their pirated sonograms from the Web and even submit our favorite personalities to probing gynecological exams. Consider the National Enquirer, which travels like a scope through Jennifer Lopez's allegedly barren womb, taking us on a tour of her entire reproductive tract: "Doctors injected a dye into Jennifer's fallopian tubes, where a blockage was discovered. The pressure of the dye injection opened the blockage. She was also put on the fertility drug Clomid to boost her production of eggs." So deep is the spell of Hollywood on the mass audience that it has turned us into amateur internists and obstetricians, crazed anatomists who seek a perverse intimacy with our divinities, attempting to narrow the physical distance that divides us, reaching out through photographs and gossip columns to touch their bodies, measuring the motility of their sperm and the thickness of their uterine walls.
We don't know what the fuck any of that means, but we hear Katie Holmes is knocked up again. Anyone know anything? More »

'Post' Likes It Doggy Style

In the wake of the Westminster Dog Show (and can we just say that we were incredibly disillusioned by the bull terrier's win? How could any God-loving American overlook a golden retriever?), the Post has finally found their holy grail of content. Hence today's Pulse section, in which there are not one or two, but four pages of readers' dog photos. The logic is simple: readers LOVE dogs, and they love dog photos even more. This, by God, is how the Post will finally crush the Daily News — with a pack of teacup Yorkies. More »
