Anderson Cooper threatented to fire some of his staff on on Monday after a picture of him at 9-years of age appeared during a report on Justin Bieber being called a brat on by a cast member of CSI.
Cooper is seen wearing what appears to be a fuzzy purpole hat and purple top.
Â
"Did we just put a picture of me when I was like nine years-old on 'To Tell the Truth?' about Justin Bieber being a brat, are you saying I'm a brat?" he asked a reporter relaying the story.
I'm being told in the control room it was a technical glitch, I don't believe that for a second... I'm not hearing anything, I'm just thinking about people I'm gonna fire."
Â
Cooper explained that in the clip, he was pretending to be Wally Norden, a bear trainer.
"We'll get back to you in a little bit. We'll try to get this 'technical thing' worked out. And by worked out I mean we'll place our old people."

As a first-grader I know frequently informs me, there are four fundamental forces in the universe: the strong nuclear force, electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force and gravity. He doesn't know about the fifth force, recently discovered and poorly understood, the one so powerful and so insidious that it has drawn Mickey Rourke and Megan Fox together to make an earnest, baffling and occasionally risible love story called "Passion Play." Evidently a labor of love for writer-director Mitch Glazer (whose wife, Kelly Lynch, plays a likable supporting role), "Passion Play" was already halfway to becoming legendary when it screened last fall at Toronto. Some viewers there proclaimed it a masterpiece of exquisite badness, which isn't entirely fair. Oh, it's bad, all right -- a hackneyed Bukowskian fantasy, set in a thoroughly imaginary noir universe inhabited by hard-drinkin' jazzmen and worldly hookers -- but that's not half as surprising as the fact that it got made in the first place.
Rourke plays an ex-junkie trumpet player who cheats death in the Mexican desert with the help of a tribe of ghostly Indians -- you only wish I were kidding -- and keeps falling in love with the wrong girl. (The character is inspired, I'm pretty sure, by the late, great Chet Baker.) Fox plays the last of those girls, who has wings. Yes, wings, with feathers and everything. It's a miracle or it's a metaphor or it's a sex thing or something, and it points you right at the final plot twist, which I won't tell you but you might figure out anyway. The movie also has Bill Murray as a sinister, milk-drinking gangster named Happy, who isn't happy. He injects a note of comic menace and acts rings around the two principals, while demonstrating (once again) that he'll appear in absolutely anything as long as the checks clear. This is all supposed to be mythical and hard-boiled and deeply American, except that it was shot, student-film-style, in a lot of unpromising suburban locations on the fringes of Albuquerque. The net effect is as if someone had set out to imitate a David Lynch movie without ever having seen one, or as if it had been directed by Wim Wenders (which is approximately the same thing).

Piers Morgan likes to discuss people's love relationships, and his meeting with Chelsea Handler was no different. On his CNN show, which airs Tuesday, he asked her if she'd ever been in love.
Her response was "twice." The comedienne had a freshly scrubbed face with minimal makeup and spoke a bit more seriously than one would expect for a comedienne. But when the topic of her ex—NBC Chairman Ted Harbert, who is also her former boss—came up, she was quite candid.
She said the fact that she dated him had nothing to do with him being her boss. "I don't think it really matters if you're in love with somebody, and I was. It had nothing to do with him being my boss—it's just how we came together."
She also claimed that the advice of not sleeping with your co-workers was outdated and encouraged "sleeping around with people you work with. It makes things fun!" It might make things fun, Chelsea, but it also complicates your work environment and can create resentment if a breakup happens.
While Chelsea might think it's pretty fun to sleep around with her co-workers, she obviously doesn't live in the real world, where such actions can cause some people to lose their jobs.

Just after pics of brother, James Middleton, hit the web, Duchess Kate Middleton has one more sibling dealing with a naughty photo scandal -- sister, Pippa Middleton. A scandalous photo of the tan and topless Pippa, 27, doing some dirty dancing with an unidentified similarly topless man, has surfaced (via Us Magazine). And although we've come to expect nothing less from the Middleton clan, it looks like Pippa sure was the life of the party -- although we have a feeling she kept things a bit more tame at sister, Kate Middleton, and Prince William's royal wedding reception. Another photo of the stunner wearing a white mini dress and surrounded by bottles of liquor may also raise a royal eyebrow or two.
But the Buckingham bunch must have known that Pippa Middleton wasn't a total saint -- in 2008, Tatler magazined named her the 'No. 1 Society Singleton.'
If these Middleton siblings keep it up, Prince Harry may start to lose his resident bad boy status. |
