Behind the Scenes: New Year's Eve extravaganza

Ha! Ha! Ha! It's A Joke!



Anderson Cooper Set to Propose to Kathy Griffin at Midnight

Posted on December 31, 2011

Posted by P. Beckert

Well, folks, you can stop wondering whether (1) Anderson Cooper is gay; (2) Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin are dating; (3) Kathy Griffin is really a guy; or (4) Kathy Griffin is really a guy, gay and dating Anderson Cooper who is also gay, because, evidently, after the ball drops in Times Square tonight, Cooper just may be setting himself up for an even bigger ball drop by proposing to Griffin.

Yep, you heard that right. Sources very close to Anderson Cooper claim that the nice guy of mainstream media fame is ready to propose to the most abrasive woman in show business (in his age group at least). Now all that is left is the answer.

Oddsmakers in Vegas say the sure money is on Kathy yelling ‘yes’ so loud, it will be heard over the noisemakers in Times Square where the two will be hosting “New Years Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin.” And they are pretty sure she’ll get something in there about being so excited she just peed her pants before jumping all over Cooper like a red-tufted lemur. There may also be nudity so it is advised that you might want to send the kiddies into the next room to watch “Night of the Walking Dead with Dick Clark and Ryan Seacrest” instead.

Most of us can’t imagine what would possess mild-mannered newsman Cooper to go for the self-proclaimed diva whore of stand-up comedy who has openly said more than once that Cooper can’t help it if he was born gay.

“The only way we can possibly explain it,” says Cooper’s best friend Sanjay Gupta, “is that the rumors that the poles are shifting, causing a magnetic disturbance at the equator has somehow affected our Cooper’s thinking and he is just not himself.”

Meanwhile, Cooper remains mum on tonight’s proposal. “If you are asking me straight up if I am going to propose to that madwoman, the answer is a definite no. But, if you are asking me if I could be crazy enough to marry someone like Kathy Griffin, the answer is, ‘hell, man, I’ve stood in Japan in the middle of a nuclear meltdown and took radiation levels on myself for a 24-hour period.’ I think I can handle a firecracker like Griffin.”


5 Things We Already! Know





5 Things You Don't Know About Anderson Cooper

December 30, 2011

He's been dispatched to hotspots all over the world during the year covering stories for CNN and once again this year, he'll join funny lady Kathy Griffin on New Year's Eve for the network's coverage of the nation's biggest celebration in Times Square. Here are five things you don't know about this respected news anchor, whose on-air giggle fit earlier this year made headlines on its own.

1. Born in New York into one of the city's wealthiest and most respected families, the Vanderbilts. His great-great-great-grandfather was Cornelius "Commodore" Vanderbilt, a 19th-century business tycoon. His mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, is a prominent socialite and famous jeans designer.

2. Spent six months living in Vietnam and studied Vietnamese at the University of Hanoi.

3. Modeled for Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Macy's from age 10 to 13.

4. While studying at Yale, did an internship over two summers at CIA headquarters in Langley, VA.

5. Although a self-described news junkie, his guilty pleasure is reality TV shows, especially The Real Housewives series.
