He must have been a cut nerd when he was growing up!LOL!!!
@Foreshadow44 You …
@Foreshadow44 You make now sense. Yes, there are vast educational disparities in the U.S., but Cooper made his career the old fashioned way and going to Yale had nothing to do with it. He couldn’t even get an entry level job at ABC News. He had a fake press pass, a borrowed camera and more guts than anyone and HE made his way into the world. To give his privileged upbringing the credit is wrong, shortsighted and very presumptuous of you.

This is why people don’t want to provide higher education ‘for free’ because parents who make more like Coopers mom want the privelage of sending him to a ‘better’ school and it is him, not another child, now in the position he is. Yes he has talent and ability but so could a lot of other kids given similar opportunities. So Cooper you should take special joy in paying taxes for your privileged position in life, not simply your job. Thank life itself, not God, for the circumstances of your birth
Your Mom is …
Your Mom is Hysterical!! I Love the clips on You Tube, The Best is The Mothers Day One!! Classic Mom:) and The Birthday Message!! I could watch over and over::))

My mother named me …
My mother named me after a pair of Gloria Vanderbilt jeans….Murjani by Gloria Vanderbilt. It was weird growing up with a pair of shorts that had my name on the tag.

i’ve never been so attracted to someone my father’s age. i almost sympathize with courtney stodden.
I am sure his …
I am sure his mother was an inspiration to him to rise above the fact that he was a child of privilage. Gloria Vanderbilt was from a very wealthy family, yet she worked in many different areas and fields for all of her life, and never behaved like a dillitante. That is a very admirable trait that I feel Anderson inherited from her.
@theatro46 Exactly, …
@theatro46 Exactly, and he became a journalist through his own merit and sheer hard work, when he probably could’ve had it so easy.

Anderson you are such an inspiration to me as an aspiring journalist
What I love about …
What I love about Anderson is that he’s a Vanderbilt yet doesn’t behave like an archtypical Trust Fund Brat – well, for one, he actually WORKS for a living
Maybe I’m just …
Maybe I’m just perverted, but I now have the mental image of a teenaged Anderson and his brother just staring at everyone’s butts as they walk by. For research purposes, of course.

Anderson Cooper is one sexy little devil.
Anderson: I have a …
Anderson: I have a couple of “Gloria” items, but must admit I’m a Ralph Lauren fan. I realize your Mom is no longer involved with the business but nice to see her name front and center. She’s a fascinating lady I would love to spend an afternoon with as we have a mutual story to share. Am looking forward to your new daytime show although I’ve always been a night owl hooked on AC360.
