Anderson Cooper Laughs Off Seth Meyer's Barbs at White House Correspondents Dinner
2:08 AM 5/1/2011 by Gregg Kilday
Comedian had joked about the journalist's tight t-shirts.
CNN’s Anderson Cooper didn’t take offense at the barbs that Saturday Night Live writer Seth Meyers directed at him at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner held Saturday night in Washington, D.C.
While Donald Trump didn’t crack a smile during the steady drumbeat of jokes Meyers aimed at him -- and he could be seen by the CSpan cameras beating a hasty exit as soon as the dinner ended -- Cooper took the ribbing in stride.
After the dinner, Cooper tweeted, “I’m a huge @sethmeyers21 fan. Its an honor to be mocked by him.”
In a riff on various members of the media, Meyers -- who has parodied Cooper before on Saturday Night Live -- made fun of Cooper’s penchant for tight t-shirts.
“You can always tell how much danger Anderson Cooper is in by how tight his clothing is,” Meyers began. “If he’s in a bulky, yellow slicker, then it’s a hurricane that’s still off shore. If he’s in a khaki vest, he’s maybe in the Green Zone in Baghdad. But if he’s in a child-size white t-shirt, bullets are flying, he’s getting punched, he’s pulling kittens out of the rubble.”
Then came the punch line: “So what I’m saying is, if you ever see Anderson Cooper with his shirt off, turn off your television and run.”
Later on Twitter, Meyers responded to Cooper’s tweet of approval, by saying, “I’m a fan in return. Thanks for being a good sport.”
In a separate tweet, the comedian also said, “Enjoyed WHC dinner immensely. Anxiously awaiting Trump’s rebuttal.”
If Anderson Cooper takes off his shirt, the last thing I would do would not be turning the TV off...!!! Are you kidding? I have been waiting for that moment for years.
Finally, Mariah Carey's long awaited pregnancy is finally over!!! On April 30, Mariah Carey gave birth to a twins at 12:07PM EST!!! The girl named MONROE CANNON came out at 5 lbs 3 oz while the boy named MOROCCAN SCOTT CANNON came out to 5 lbs 6 oz through C-section. Everyone is doing fine, and how ironic for the babies to be born on Nick and Mariah's 3 year wedding anniversary!! I can't wait to see how they're twins look like, but congrats to both Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, as well as their families!!! :D

Who would've ever thought that the Fast and Furious franchise would make it up to 5 movies?! They happened to do it again, combining flashy cars with a hot cast, but this one topped the cake in the locale destination of RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL.
So the Fast and Furious cast doesn't necessarily have the greatest set of actors, yes I'm calling out Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and especially Dwayne Johnson "The Rock." But what did make up for it, was the action impacted scenes along with the crazy stunts. Throughout the whole movie, I was on the edge of my seat because you have no idea what's going to play out next. Being in another country = no rules, so the gang is against some pretty tough competition, or are they?!
Overall, I highly recommend this movie. I mean you go to the movies to be entertained, not criticize acting right?! I love how intense this movie is, along with a great storyline. And what's best is that all the famous characters from previous movies of the Fast and Furious are in it as well along with new characters. It's already confirmed that a Fast and Furious 6 will be coming out soon as well.
This movie stars two upcoming females who are very beautiful. One, Elsa Pataky plays a police woman on Dwayne Johnson's team. Though she was wearing a police uniform almost the entire movie, her face is undeniably beautiful. She is a Spanish actress and got married to Chris Hemsworth in December 2010.
Another is Gal Gadot, one of the "team members" who drives insanely good! She is an Israeli actress and model, and got married to her boyfriend in 2008. Even though both of them are married, it's certain that they will be tearing up the American market very soon!!! Watch Out!!!

I DON'T THINK SO!
Not everybody likes weddings, or hear and see a lot about one very fancy one; one that matters to a whole country and dazzles the world. Well, at least some of us had fun and continue to delight in reading and seeing the videos and pictures about it.
Today, for example, AC 360's blog was completely dedicated to yesterday's Royal Wedding, and it's all here for you to enjoy, plus this article by Ms. McNamara with a link to a great photo gallery with great pictures of the event.
We (I) give thanks to Ms. McNamara for more media coverage of the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge wedding.
Critic's Notebook: Royal wedding overkill
Too many of the highest-paid television journalists in the world are employed to provide idle chatter leading up to the main event.
By Mary McNamara, Los Angeles Times Television Critic
April 30, 2011
As every living soul who cares already knows, it was a lovely wedding. Catherine Middleton, now the duchess of Cambridge, was such a beautiful bride that CNN's Piers Morgan pronounced her "radiant" after glimpsing her fully veiled profile for one and a half seconds as she and her splendid dress (Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen) were hustled into their waiting Rolls. Resplendent in his Irish Guard uniform, William was every inch a prince, and, most important, the two seemed utterly at ease with the day and genuinely happy to be getting married.
But if anyone feels guilty for sleeping in and then catching the nuptials in morning reruns, rest assured; the early birds may have experienced the pageantry in real time, but they had to eat a lot of worms to do it. If nothing else, the world now knows how many hours some of the highest-paid television journalists in the world are willing to spend discussing a bridal dress they have not seen while watching people they do not know mill about in Westminster Abbey wearing large hats.
Too many.
Photo gallery: The royal wedding
TV coverage of the royal wedding started at 11 p.m. on Fox, which carried Sky News for two hours before going to its own live coverage; the other networks joined in around midnight, which meant that the three hours before the ceremony actually started had to be filled with something, and that something turned out to be, not surprisingly, filling the airwaves with long shots of cleared streets, excited crowds and silent London landmarks over which herds of A-list anchors provided a mash-up of Oscar coverage, parade narration and ridiculously repetitive speculation about what sort of dress and hairstyle the bride would wear.
NBC's Matt Lauer offered up fast facts about Westminster Abbey like Bob Eubanks rattling off the rose-petal and celery-seed count of the next Rose Parade float, while BBC America read from tweets and Facebook postings before introducing irrepressible historian Simon Schama. On ABC, Barbara Walters wondered aloud whether "we" could call William's bride a princess even though she is technically a duchess, with Diane Sawyer agreeing that yes, of course, "we" could.
Even CNN's Anderson Cooper conceded to Morgan that it was "cool" to see the queen in person. "I've spent most of my life trying to escape this sort of thing," he added, which raises the question, what sort of thing? Parades? Queens? Weddings?
They were so busy talking that when things started happening, some of them appeared to forget why they were there. "Oh, there's the queen," said a CNN commentator, casually interrupting the blithering fashion speculation to note an actual event. CBS' Katie Couric, who got a late start, was so determined to justify her presence that she broke in to the actual wedding ceremony to loudly explain that William would not be wearing a wedding ring, as if this were not tantamount to talking out loud in church. During a wedding.
But at least she was providing information. A vast majority of the commentary was simply idle chatter — did it look like rain? Was Carole Middleton's suit pastel or pearly blue? Could Victoria Beckham get away with wearing black to an afternoon wedding? (Apparently.) Cooper was particularly interested in how the crowds would greet Prince Charles and Camilla (they cheered, but not much), though he offered no explanation.
For this, the networks each had to send two and three anchors, including some of the biggest names in television?
It's not like anything approaching news was going to happen, and any real insight into or explanation of royal protocol was provided by a coterie of experts, including Cat Deeley for CNN, MSNBC's "royalty contributor" Robert Jobson and Tina Brown for ABC.
Occasionally, someone attempted to inject some non-dress-related tension into the proceedings. Noise was made about the fact that John Major was the only former prime minister at the ceremony — Dame Margaret Thatcher was too ill, and neither Tony Blair nor Gordon Brown are knights of the realm — but no one really cared. Even Al Roker's reminder that "our thoughts and prayers are with our friends in the South" fell flat; back on the parade route, Lauer and Meredith Vieira responded with sympathetic noises and then Lauer quickly pointed out where the volleyball competition would be held during the 2012 Summer Olympics.
None of it came close to topping footage shot by crowd members of the princes William and Harry coming out among them Thursday night to make sure everyone was warm and had things to eat.
Fortunately, the bride got to the church on time and everyone, save Couric, gave it a rest. After that, the cameras really said it all, providing a main event that needed no commentary. The wonderful thing about weddings is that they're pretty much self-explanatory, even this royal one, which could easily have been covered by one anchor per network, with an hour of pre-show for the die-hards, and the sound of the "I do's" and the crowds cheering being allowed to speak for themselves.

Over one million applicants turned out for McDonald's highly-publicized hiring spree last week.
McDonald’s Corp, the world’s biggest restaurant chain, said it hired 24 percent more people than planned during an employment event this month. McDonald’s and its franchisees hired 62,000 people in the U.S. after receiving more than one million applications, the Oak Brook, Illinois-based company said today in an e-mailed statement. Previously, it said it planned to hire 50,000. The April 19 national hiring day was the company’s first, said Danya Proud, a McDonald’s spokeswoman. She declined to disclose how many of the jobs were full- versus part-time. McDonald’s employed 400,000 workers worldwide at company-owned stores at the end of 2010, according to a company filing.The big hiring push was heralded by some as evidence as a surging economy, but you have to wonder what those same analysts say about the 938,000+ plus folks who were desperate enough to work at McDonald's but got turned away.

The new Klondike commercial feature two grimacing bikers that must endure a "moment of intimacy" by holding hands long enough to win some ice cream.
"Just as a child is far less likely to suffer abuse in the home of his/her married, heterosexual parents, so the opposite is true. Where the structure is sin-based, other sins are more likely to scurry in through the cracks. Substance abuse and self-destruction accompany sexual deviance. And some of this means poor decisions about finances.
"The mortgage crisis was the sin of temptation being offered by those who relaxed legitimate standards, offered to those without the personal standards to resist. This easy-pay physical structure was too good to be true, and appealed to an increasingly covetous segment of our culture. Sexual and material covetousness are usually sin siblings. It would be interesting to study the families who have defaulted on mortgages for the correlations between structural and/or functional weaknesses like infidelity, divorce, gambling or porn addictions, job instability, credit card default, domestic abuse, sexual deviance, and criminality. There is also a high likelihood that poor or no church attendance would show up as a factor as well." - Linda Harvey, head of the SPLC-certified hate group, Mission America.

Until now, the smallest apartment we were aware of was Felice Cohen's New York City pad, as AOL Real Estate documented in "Woman Lives in 90-Square-Foot New York Apartment." Well, real estateobservers, let's get even smaller.
A fellow named Luke posted photos of his 78-square-foot New York City abode on apartmenttherapy.com, as part of the site's annual Smallest Coolest Home Contest. Luke writes on the site that his apartment is "simple, efficient, convertible, and zen enough to be comfortably habitable." The custom built sofa converts into a bed, and all of the furnishings were designed by the resident. In the gallery below, note the small refrigerator integrated underneath the desk space.
No word on the rent (Cohen pays $700 for her 90 square feet) or whether the apartment includes a bathroom.
