Anderson Cooper Has A Giggle Fit Over Dyngus Day

News: Anderson Cooper Vs. Chris Brown

Media outlets like CNN still aren't fans of Chris Brown especially Anderson Cooper.


"Ladies and gentlemen, particularly ladies, Chris Brown has been cast in a movie. And not just any movie, it's a romantic comedy based on a self-help book about relationships," Cooper said recently on his nightly show, "Anderson Cooper 360." "And I, for one, can not imagine why this did not happen sooner because if there's one thing you can say about Chris Brown, who's currently on probation for viciously assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna, he just oozes romance." 


Cooper went on to point out one of Brown's early online apologies to Rihanna and fans as another point of conflict.


"Check out this love poem he posted on YouTube five months after he repeatedly punched her in the face and threatened to kill her while her mouth was filled with blood … ," Cooper said. 


Not long after Brown took to Twitter to respond to the CNN anchor's comments and not how one would expect.


"I guess people need ratings!" Brown tweeted  "Lol! It's cool. Much Love." 


"Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man "is the film adaptation of Steve Harvey's bestselling book of the same name. Production is already underway in Los Angeles and the film is slated to hit theaters in April 2012

The Day Anderson Cooper Prevented Me From Eating Fried Chicken - But Almost Gave Me A Heart Attack Anyway

Earlier in the week I had a Close Encounter of the Gay Kind- I passed Anderson Cooper on the street near my job.

It was lunchtime and my evil "FUCKIT!" switch had gone off – telling my brain that we were HONGRAY for Fried Chicken. The nearby Gourmet Garage (it’s like a condensed version of Whole Foods) always has some pretty good chicken at their deli counter, so off I went to satisfy my craving.

But immediately after crossing the street I noticed a silver-haired hottay coming right at me. It didn’t take long to realize that this was uber-Journamalist, A-Gay, and Vanderbilt Jeans heiress Anderson Cooper.

But DAMN – that Queen moves fast! I hesitated for a second, but then thought it would be a hoot to get a picture for my DustBunnies (talk about journamalism!). So I went on the chase…

I had no idea that the descendants of Commodore Vanderbilt were frickin’ built for speed. ACoop was moving faster than me at an all-you-can-eat Arby’s Buffet or Charlie Sheen on his way out the door of Rehab. Darlings, he was putting FloJo to shame on the streets of NYC. Needless to say, I never caught up to him – and was only able to snap this very blurry picture (top) while on the move.

My moment with Anderson Cooper, however, DID make me forget about Fried Chicken AND it prompted me to get a little exercise. So there’s that.

But next time, dear Andy, cut a fat girl a break and slow down a little. No need to kill a biatch...

Real World's JD Ordonez - NOH8

Real World Brooklyn cutie J.D. Ordonez gets the silver duct tape treatment and poses for Adam Bouska's NOH8 Campaign. And looks EXTREMELY good while doing so, I might add.

You can see my previous post on Mr. Ordonez (who allegedly dated Anderson Cooper!) HERE.

Wishful Thinking: CNN Gay Trifecta

Lemon, Cooper, Holmes: Gayfecta???

As many of you know by now - it was announced today that CNN weekend prime time anchor Don Lemon (above left) comes out in his new book - Transparent. Which leaves CNN with one openly gay anchor (Lemon) and one not-so-openly gay anchor (Anderson Cooper). I know I'm being greedy, but can we send in the top-secret Gay Recruitment Team Six (code name: "Squad Channing-LuPone") to recruit/convert the delicious TJ Holmes (below) to our team??  Pleeeeaaaaassse??????

Anderson Cooper And Hot Piece Hit Mardi Gras

Anderson Cooper and his boyfriend Benjamin Maisani ride atop a float during the Endymion parade yesterday in New Orleans. It's a damn shame that Benjamin wasn't shirtless - because THIS is what's lurking underneath that suit:

Yes, Big Ben was a shirtless bartender before he became a bar owner-slash-celebrity arm candy. Anderson Cooper is one lucky Biatch...

Andy Cooper and his Hot Piece

Anderson Cooper and (alleged) boyfriend Benjamin Maisani were recently photographed leaving the gym together in NYC - much to the dismay of Michael K at DLISTED.

By the looks of those guns on Andy and Benji, these trips to the gym seem to be paying off.

Happy Birthday to Gloria and Patty

Happy Birthday to Anderson Cooper's proud mama - Gloria Vanderbilt - who turns 86 today.  It is also the 56th birthday of fellow NYC socialite (and former beret-wearing bank-robber) Patty Hearst.

Television Cuties

I've noticed some (formerly unknown to me) hotties appearing on my TV screen during the last few weeks. One of them is Haaz Sleiman - who plays a gay muslim nurse on Nurse Jackie. Has anyone seen that show? I LOVE it, but then again I'd pay money to watch Edie Falco (below) alphabetize her spice rack: "Allspice ... Basil ... Bay Leaf ... Cardamom ... ".

Yet another season of The Real World has begun (In Roman Numerals, this is Season XXVIIXXCCVIIXCCV), and this time they're in Cancun. And YES, there is the requisite Gay - and he's a cute New Mexico native named Derek Chavez...

I saw former Daddy of the Day Alex Castro on the History Channel playing Hannibal (the military dude from Carthage - NOT Hannibal Lector). All Alex had to do was look stern and flex his muscles ... so naturally he was PERFECT for the part...

I recently noticed cutie Douglas Spain playing the role of "Raul Arias" on one of my favorite shows, CSI Miami. Once I saw him I just had to fire up The Google and find out more...

I dont watch So You Think You Can Dance that much, but I was sad to see cutie Jonathan Platero get sent home...

And, finally, it looks like television hottie Anderson Cooper has found a great big giant hunk of gorgeousness to go "bike-riding" with. Get it, Girl!

My Night with Anderson Cooper and Dust Bunny Mark

As you know, I won two free tickets from Joe.My.God to the Speaker Series at Radio City Music Hall. Anderson Cooper would be interviewing Mike Huckabee, Arianna Huffington, and D.L.Hugley live onstage.

When I announced on the blog that I had won, I asked if anyone wanted to go with me. The first one to respond was a guy named Mark.

Mark said he was a longtime DavidDust reader, although he had never commented or sent me an email before. We agreed to meet in front of Radio City before the “show”.

Mark and I found each other, went inside Radio City, and found our seats. Since we were up on the Second Mezzanine, this was our view…


But I didn’t mind one single bit, because this is who was sitting beside me…


Isn’t Mark adorable? Anywhoo, Anderson Cooper came out onstage and did a short introduction. I don’t know why people think Andy needs to announce that he’s gay – in the course of one minute he mentioned American Idol, his Mom (Gloria Vanderbilt), and Madonna. That’s like all the National Coming Out Days in history rolled up into a few sentences.

Anderson introduced the three panelists: Mike Huckabee, Arianna Huffington, and D.L. Hugley. The four of them sat down onstage and got to chatting…


D.L. Hugley, of course, was “the funny one”. He served as the voice of everyman – albeit an extremely comical and knowledgeable everyman. D.L. obviously got the most laughs – but he also made some excellent points, especially about fairness and equality.

Arianna Huffington, was “the smart one”. She is just so brilliant – something I tend to forget when I’m listening to her Zsa-Zsa-esque accent.

Mike Huckabee served as “the Republican one”. But he is no blowhard Rush Limbaugh. Huckabee manages to stick to the Republican talking points while still giving you that “aw shucks” shtick Americans love. In fact – he was able to get applause multiple times from a Manhattan audience – one of the most Democratic places in this country. This man will run for president again – trust me. Oh, and even on the second mezzanine I could tell that Mike Huckabee dyes his eyebrows. He was serving up some Joan Crawford realness to the children…


It pissed me off that Anderson didn’t drill Huckabee on some of the hard issues. For instance, Mike Huckabee thinks that instead of bailing out the “fat cats” and the banks, we should “give the money to the people it belongs to – the taxpayers”. A noble idea, to be sure. But he wants to do this by suspending payroll taxes for a period of time – thus putting more money directly in people’s pockets. If I would have been Anderson Cooper, I would have asked “What about the people who aren’t working?”. You have to be on a payroll to pay payroll taxes, dumbass! As usual, his Republican plan completely ignored the people who need the most help.

The interview/chat finished after about 1 ½ hours, and Mark and I decided to hit a local gay bar. On the way out, Mark took a picture of me…


Mark has read my blog for the past year – so he knew a lot about me. Of course that didn’t stop me from running my mouth at the bar. When he could finally get a word in edgewise, Mark proved to be smart, funny, and extremely sweet. Definitely “good people”. At about midnight, after a number of cocktails – we hit the streets and headed over to his subway stop. I took this pic in the middle of 9th Avenue…


Finally, it was time for the ubiquitous drunken MySpace photo. Although the first time I tried, I promptly turned the camera off as we posed. Dork!!!


Awwwwwww. Anywhoo, I know Mark is waiting to see these pictures on my blog – so here they are. Although I have no idea why – he is quite accomplished in his own right (much more so than me).

It was a FUN night. :)

>P,b.

I'm Hanging With Anderson Cooper Tonight...

I'll be at Radio City Music Hall tonight for their "Speakers Series". If you recall, I WON two free tickets from Joe.My.God.

Anderson Cooper will be interviewing D.L. Hughley, Ariana Huffington, and homophobic asshat Mike Huckabee. I hope Andy dresses casually - he looks great in jeans and a Polo shirt...

I'll give you a little recap tomorrow.

I Am A WINNER!!

Dust Bunny Mike In Bama just sent me an email (he has my direct email address at work) urging me to go to Joe.My.God. It turns out I was one of the winners of Joe's special "Swag Thursday" giveaway! I have won a pair of tickets to the Radio City Music Hall Speaker Series for March 31st. That evening, Anderson Cooper will conduct a live interview with D.L. Hughley, Ariana Huffington, and AssHat Mike Huckabee.

I had forgotten about commenting on JMG's Swag post - but I'm SOOO pleasantly surprised to actually win something!! I haven't been to Radio City Music Hall in ages (it's only a few blocks from my apartment) - and it will be interesting to see this non-traditional 'live entertainment'. I will make sure to give you all a full recap.

I know I have mentioned this before, but for those of you who enjoy my blog - you can thank Joe.My.God for inspiring me to start DavidDust. He is simply a SUPERSTAR in my world - and his blogging made me want to start a blog of my own. Joe is so MAJOR, that I was too intimidated to introduce myself to him at a Prop 8 protest. I know - I'm a friggin' wuss...

By the way - anyone want to go with me?? Seriously, my Best Friend would rather pull off his fingernails with needle-nose pliers that listen to people talk about politics. So if you are going to be in NYC on March 31st, send me an email.

>P, b!

"Real World" Papi of the Day - J.D. Ordonez

Yesterday I featured Real World: Brooklyn hottie Scott Herman. Today I am featuring his housemate - J.D. Ordonez. This openly gay 23-year-old was born and raised in Florida and went through a difficult childhood due to his homophobic father. When J.D. was a young boy, his Grandmother brought him to Sea World, where he fell in love with the Dolphins.

J.D. recently graduated from the University of Miami with a degree in Marine Biology. While still in school, Ordonez became one of the youngest Dolphin Trainers in the world - a job he still holds today.

A few EXTREMELY interesting things about J.D. - He is rumored to have dated Anderson Cooper and he apparently requires extra-large condoms although he claims not to have used them in the Real World house.

Aye Papi!
