All Anderson Cooper Posts

Kathy Griffin was quoting a line from Mr. Show, but failed to realize that her mike was still open when she and Anderson Cooper went to commercial on CNN's New Year's Eve telecast. It was a classic Kathy Griffin moment.

While the celebrities shined on the red carpet and performed on stage, it was the everyday heroes that made the 2008 CNN Hero of the Year event touching.

Liz McCartney, dedicated to helping survivors of Hurricane Katrina rebuild their homes, has been named the 2008 CNN Hero of the Year. "To the country and the world, I ask you to please join us," McCartney said. "Together we can continue to rebuild families' homes and lives. ... If you join us, we'll be unstoppable."

"To the country and the world, I ask you to please join us," McCartney said. "Together we can continue to rebuild families' homes and lives. ... If you join us, we'll be unstoppable."

Hosted by CNN's Anderson Cooper, "CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute" features moving musical performances by Grammy Award winners Alicia Keys and John Legend.

Legend, backed by the world-renowned Agape Choir, brought the audience of more than 2,000 to their feet with his powerful call to personal action, "If You're Out There," from his just-released album, "Evolver."

Keys sang "Superwoman," her tribute to women around the world, from her hit album "As I Am."

Both performances echoed the spirit of the CNN Heroes campaign, which salutes everyday people accomplishing extraordinary things in their communities and beyond.

The list of CNN's 10 Heroes is after the jump.

Featured in the gallery: John Legend, Kate Beckinsale, Anderson Cooper, Ricki Lake, Molly Sims, Joley Richardson, Vanessa Redgrave, Eliza Dushku, Louis Gossett Jr., Selena Gomez, Leelee Sobieski, Terrence Howard, Len Wiseman, Robert Duvall, Rachael Leigh Cook, Holly Robinson Peete, Rachel Zoe, Taylor Swift, Elizabeth Smart, Jessica Biel, Salma Hayek, Jordana Brewster and Hill Harper.

Anderson Cooper loves when his new boyfriend dresses up as a geisha and walks on his back. I'm giving myself really odd images of gay Muppet sex. I need to stop. Because I'm getting turned on. Here's Anderson Cooper posing with an assortment of animated pieces of felt with ping pong ball eyes for the 6th annual Sesame Workshop Benefit Gala.

So cute! Some nice video trickery!

Thanks Ryan!

Is this a big deal? I'm still waiting on Anderson Cooper, Tom Cruise, Wentworth Miller, Johnny Trav, Jeremy Piven, Jodie Foster, Queen Latifah, Missy Elliot, and Ellen Page to 'fess up. Who's this bitch? I kid, I kid. it's wonderful. Luke MacFarlane of ABC's Brothers & Sisters has come out.

Luke plays the character of "Scotty" on the drama. Scotty is the boyfriend of Matthew Rhys' gay character "Kevin Walker." The show plans to have them commit to each other in a civil union in an upcoming episode. MacFarlane felt that this was a good time to bust out.

"I don't know what will happen professionally," MacFarlane said. "That is the fear, but I guess I can't really be concerned about what will happen, because it's my truth. ... There is this desire in L.A. to wonder who you are and what's been blaring for me for the last three years is how can I be most authentic to myself - so this is the first time I am speaking about it in this way."

Dude, it's 2008. If the planet doesn't realize that 3/4 of the working actors in Hollywood are as gay as West Side Story, then there's a problem.

Apparently he's banging T.R. Knight. T.R. gets props for that awesome t-shirt. If you need a tour, T, you look me up. I know several public restrooms and various gay-oriented dive bars.

Anderson Cooper gets embarrassed and eventually does some thrusts. Nice guns.

Hayden Panettiere was honored by the Human Society at the Genesis Awards on Saturday night for protesting the slaughter of dolphins in Japan. If you'll recall, Hayden donned a wetsuit and paddled her ass out in front of a Japanese freighter to stop them from offing Flipper.

The audience viewed a clip of Hayden in action, and then gave her a standing ovation as she took the stage.

"As an actress, you always dream of getting awards like the Golden Globe award, but I never expected to get an award that is this special and important to me as this," Hayden said. "There are people who dedicate their entire lives to preserving the environment and defending animals, they are so much more deserving of something like this."

Hayden apparently was so moved that she had to leave the stage and go to the ladies room to collect her shit. She's big into the dolphins.

The only other thing I want to ask about is if Hal Sparks is playing Gene Simmons in a KISS movie? And did he wear the same outfit to the Kids' Choice Awards? And why was he at either of these events? Is he big into kids and animals? Was he valeting?

12 more photos from the Genesis Awards featuring Hayden Panettiere, Linda Cardellini, Kyle McLachlan, David Krumholz, Mike White, James Cromwell, Andrea Bowden, Hal Sparks and Anderson Cooper are after the jump.

In an interview on 60 Minutes, David showed Anderson Cooper his collection of tattoos on his arms, which included his most recent tattoo of a likeness of wife Victoria--much to Anderson's chagrin, I'm sure. They were having such a lovely afternoon, when David had to drag Posh into it.

David said that he's fascinated with tattoos, most especially his own and has used them to show his love for his wife and children. "I think everybody's got a way of expressing their feelings, and mine is through my tattoos."

Meanwhile, here are some pictures of a hot double-date between Kate Beckinsale, her man Len Wiseman and Posh and Becks. They need to all go out and get matching tattoos, to commemorate the meeting of hot British ass.
