Anderson Cooper - Mamma's boy

[yvr girl]

He's going to be featured in In Style magazine next month. They showed a picture of his bedroom. There is a huge (fills up the wall) portrait of his mother over his bed. Yikes.

Beautiful picture, but couldn't it be in the hall or something?

3. Icelandic? :)

[Bjornsdotter]

5. Nope.....

.....Swedish. In Icelandic in would be Bjornsdottir, however only in Iceland do they still use this type of surname. Most people in Sweden stopped using this method 80-100 years ago.

Cheers,
Kim :toast: skol!

Damn, a picture of his mother?! Who puts a huge picture of their mother over the bed? Whoa. :freak:

4. My thought exactly

Practically renders the room unusable.

14. That's worse than

The bed & breakfast I stayed in with a SO one Christmas that had Mary (as in Jeebus's mom) trinkets everywhere, including a portrait above the bed.

Wonder what Anderson's women friends think of that when they come over? Ewwww.

[yvr girl]

19. I don't think his women friends are invited into the bedroom

I've heard he plays for the other team. Either way, do you want mommy watching?

[helnwhls]

7. at least it's not on the ceiling

[yvr girl]

8. Might as well have been

Her head was at least two feet wide.

9. I'm with ya.

having Mom anywhere in the bedroom is two scoops of wrong

10. another U-by-the-bootstraps success story....

his life must have been difficult growing up in the Vanderbilt household. I'm certain that he really had to claw his way to the top.

[Dookus]

12. I give him credit

he's never had to work a day in his life, but he has. He's actually done some real reporting and some real work. And as far as I know, he's never played off his family name.

17. He risked his life reporting hurricanes from Florida

Seriously. I thought he was going to get blown away.

[yvr girl]

18. I like Anderson Cooper

I think that he is a real reporter, but the hurricane show just drove me crazy. Hence the following post on my blog.


Disaster TV
During Jeanne I was up late and had CNN on as background noise. Anderson Cooper spent the entire night standing beside a building somewhere in Florida saying, "It's windy." At some point in his 12+ hour sojourn it ceased to be news. You can always count on a hurricane to be windy. I knew the hurricane was coming. Can't you just let me know that it's arrived, and report back with the consequences?

Now its Mt. St. Helens. Do we really need a special news bulletin because a volcano belched some steam? Don't get me wrong. I respect the power of the volcano. In May of 1980 I heard St. Helens go boom. My location was covered in ash and I was stranded for several days. Am I interested in what's going on. Sure. But I can wait for the evening news.

[Dookus]

22. His father

was the writer Wyatt Cooper, and his mother was Gloria Vanderbilt.

I had no idea. Dang.

[Dookus]

11. doesn't every gay man

15. It was probably Mom's idea.

So that Lil Andy won't touch himself inappropriately. Naughty, naughty!
