Newsgasm: Anderson and Friends Edition - 
by m_ruv

- Awwww, damned if everybody's favorite doe-eyed anchor Anderson Cooper isn't having a tough time maintaining an audience at CNN's NewsNight—even among the younger demographic. I'M VINDICATED, BITCHES!!! AARON BROWN FOR PRESIDENT!! [Variety]
- Yesterday, just seconds after feeling the excruciating pain of his lungs nearly bursting after eight airless minutes underwater, David Blaine discovered the far more excruciating pain of failing to live up to hype in front of a live national television audience. [AP]
- Some Denver bar owners and restaurateurs are annoyed that The Real World's large production crews are asking them in advance to limit crowds on certain nights so they can film. Oh, spontaneous, "reality" TV! Gets me every time! [Reality Blurred]
- And American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino will play herself in a Lifetime movie this summer, directed by Debbie Allen and costarring Loretta Devine. Depending on your perspective, this is either 1) a confluence of urban-contemporary estrogen to humble even Oprah Herself or 2) the gayest movie since Cabaret. [Zap2it]

David Blaine in a snow globe is the new Geraldo Rivera in Al Capone's vault. Anyone? Anyone?

Good GAWD! What is Anderson Cooper doing with that half-melted Joan River wax figure?

The photo is from some Scissor Sisters event last year. Tatum O'Neal was there as well, so one can only imagine what was going on in the bathrooms.

Yes, m_ruv, you were right. The difference in viewer numbers is impressive. But whenever I see Anderson Cooper (which is only by accident when surfing) I remember his mother is Gloria Vanderbilt and then I have to feel sorry for him. Think of what an awful childhood he must have had. And then I think is he at least 5 feet tall or less? And then I change the channel.
As for Mr Blaine- point finger and laugh, laugh, laugh.

I can't believe Blaine didn't make it ... or at least drown while attempting this retarded stunt ... did anyone notice his resemblance to a certain cast member of a "Different World?" check it out here ...

Lizardqueen (#2), just as long as David Blaine doesn't reinvent himself as a journalist who covers serious events like war and natural disasters...

All I know about Gloria V. Is that she makes jeans with a swan on them, is she known to have been a bad mother, or crazy celebrity? Just wondering.

I cannot believe what an idiot this guy is. Make something disappear before my very eyes, you Mr. Blaine and your stupid stunts!

I didn't think that ape faced troll Fantasia could even read? How is she going to read a script, and act? Why is her story so fascinating? What is wrong with this country?

Thanks Jash (#15). I had no idea who she was so I googled her and found her wikipedia entry. I also found www.awfulplasticsurgery.com which was quite fun.

Oh gawd! That's a transexual? He needs to get his money back...
Doesn't Anderson Cooper have a gigantic painting of his mother (yes, the ugly lady in the 1980's with her own brand of jeans) hanging over his bed?
