ANDERSON COOPER: WE TOLD YA SO!

Back on May 14 we reported that Anderson Cooper was fed up with his gig on CNN after Donald Trump’s disastrous town hall. We revealed that Anderson was threatening to quit because he didn’t agree with the direction the newer CEO, Chris Licht was guiding the network. Plus Anderson wanted more control over programming. Anderson had some serious meetings with CNN and less than a month later he got his wish. Chris was terminated this week and our source says Anderson was given a private promotion. That means he has the same title, but now has more POWER to decide what airs.

ANDERSON COOPER IS EMBARRASSED BY TRUMP’S CNN FIASCO

Could Anderson Cooper be the next to exit CNN? The network’s newer CEO, Chris Licht, is rebranding the news channel from liberal to being more centrist -which explains why he featured disgraced presidential candidate Donald Trump on a recent Town Hall. Donald’s outrageous appearance was peppered with lie after lie (he does seem to lie about everything) and the live audience was stacked with his ill-mannered supporters. It was SO not typical for CNN, that many viewers are now calling for a boycott. Even some of Anderson’s well-connected friends gave him grief over Trump’s appearance (even though he had nothing to do with the show) so now he is rethinking his relationship with the network. Although Anderson is still under contract, behind closed doors, talks have started about an amicable split. My source says that unless Anderson is given more control over the network’s new direction he could be out the door.

SOMEWHERE LARRY KING IS CACKLING: THE KARDASHIANS WERE A FLOP ON THE PIERS MORGAN SHOW

Piers Morgan took a little flak for pumping Kim and Kourtney Kardashian about their breasts (fake or real?) and Kim’s sex tape on his CNN show, but his tabloid assault didn’t lure much of an audience. The interview had tons of publicity before it aired, but the show got it’s lowest ratings yet. Morgan’s debut show with Oprah pulled in 2.1 million viewers and the Kardashians only had 498,000 viewers. Either the Kardashians are overexposed or the CNN audience just isn’t interested in reality stars. The Kardashians should probably stick to the E! channel where they are beloved.

ANDERSON COOPER WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN HIS MOTHER HAS A LIFE SIZE CARDBOARD CUTOUT OF HIM IN HER LIVING ROOM

Anderson Cooper got quite a jolt when he opened up New York magazine’s home design issue featuring his mother Gloria Vanderbilt’s apartment. There was a photo of her at home posing next to a life size cardboard cutout of her son! He later told Daily Intel,I was unaware that she had a life size cutout of me! I’m not sure how she got it, I’m not entirely thrilled that she has it, but what are you going to do?” When your mother is Gloria Vanderbilt, it’s clear that she does whatever she wants.

ANDERSON COOPER MIGHT BE THE PERFECT SON

Anderson Cooper is not faking it when he says he completely supports his mother Gloria Vanderbilt’s erotic novel “Obsession: An Erotic Tale.” Without embarrassment, he claims to be her biggest fan and stated “At 85, whatever she wants to write is fine by me.” The book will be available for sale on June 23 and Anderson already had a staffer at CNN pre-order a hundred copies for him. And Erica Hill pre-ordered five copies for herself. Anderson’s friends and coworkers are making certain that his mom’s book becomes a best seller.

CNN'S RICHARD QUEST CAUGHT IN THE ACT IN CENTRAL PARK!

CNN’s witty broadcaster Richard Quest was arrested after he was found involved in mischief with another man in Central Park at 3:40 AM when the park is closed. When he was detained for loitering, he admitted to the cop that he had meth in his pocket. But more startling was the fact that Quest happened to be wearing a ROPE NOOSE around his neck that was ATTACHED to his private parts. Besides the oddly configured rope, police found a sex toy in his boot. He was charged with loitering and possession of a controlled substance – fortunately he wasn’t exposing himself and avoided a lewd conduct charge. His friend simply got a summons for not carrying identification. We can’t help but wonder what kind of game they were playing.

THE LATE HEATH LEDGER: CNN DIDN'T DO HIM JUSTICE

CNN should be ashamed of it’s coverage of the Heath Ledger tragedy. In the hours after his death became known, CNN had continuous live coverage and there were few facts revealed at that time so their TV personality filled the air space by chattering endlessly and aimlessly about suicide and depression. The brunette news person had come up with a dumb theory that Heath had become so disturbed and distressed playing his dark Joker character that he took his own life in despair! An INSULT to the memory of the intelligent actor and the people who loved him – and an insult to viewers! The woman proposed her absurd theory over and over to several “guest experts” who scoffed and reminded her that Heath was a professional actor who knew the difference between movies and real life. The CNN woman’s brainless speculation was enough to send viewers by the droves to TMZ.
