Anderson Cooper Goes in on Star Jones Over Gay Announcement (Watch)

   

anderson cooper & star jones*It seems TV news anchor/syndicated host Anderson Cooper finally got something off his chest as far as Star Jones is concerned.

Cooper was shooting a segment of “Anderson Live” with Bravo’s Andy Cohen … when Cohen asked him if he felt any different after coming out publicly back in July.

That’s when Cooper broke it down, reports TMZ:

“I will say and I actually haven’t mentioned this, the only thing that did kind of annoy me and actually it annoyed my mom who brought it up to me, Star Jones of all people.”

He continued, “I haven’t thought about Star Jones in I don’t know how long. I was unaware she was even on TV still … but she apparently shows up on a morning show.”

“Out of the blue Star Jones … said this was a ratings ploy by me to boost ratings.”

On the show, which airs today, Cooper says Jones couldn’t have been more wrong — ’cause he was on assignment in Africa when he decided to quietly make the announcement in an email to a journalist friend, who posted the letter online.

“If I was wanting to boost ratings, I would have waited to announce it on ‘A Very Special Episode’ that would have been promo’d for weeks and weeks and there would have been commercials … ‘Anderson’s Huge Announcement.’”

“As memory serves, in terms of boosting ratings, I seem to recall [Star] hocking her wedding every single day to get free products when she was on ‘The View’ and I seem to recall her lying about her gastric bypass surgery and making everybody else lie about it as well. So for her to suddenly emerge out of the shadows and suddenly attack me for this, I couldn’t believe it.”

Cooper says he invited Star to his show to discuss her comments, but she turned him down.

“I would think she would want as much publicity as possible given her penchant for wanting publicity.”

And Star, your response is …?

    Dang! Take that Star!

  3. Star Jones is and always will be a “piece of work” and yes this is me putting it nicely on what I really think..lol

  4. butterpecanrican says:

    Not to mention that Star has a lot of nerve talking about what someone else’s motives on tv. Anderson is 100% correct about her hawking that wedding till kingdom come and that gastric bypass nonsense.

      And it was clear why she did it.

      I’m having a hard time believing Anderson’s “innocence” here. He did it for the publicity and because it was a the hot item of the day. He has nerve for questioning why someone would question his timing.

  5. Star married a GAY MAN for Goodness Sake! I don’t think she has much room to talk…

  6. I really think he just wants someone to turn the media attention on, so he won’t have to talk about that nasty habit of his.

  7. Never piss off a queen. Anderson let Star have it and now Hollywood will never hire her again.

  8. So does this Anderson Cooper fruit really believe that we are that dumb? Whether it was done as a publicity stunt has nothing to do with how it was announced.

    he was on assignment in Africa when he decided to quietly make the announcement in an email to a journalist friend, who posted the letter online.

    So you quietly announced it to a friend when you were all way in Africa, but with the intention for him to announce it to the whole world?!

    Wow!
    This fag is full of it. It doesn’t matter how you announced it or where you were. What matters is that it was done with the intention to be posted online.

    And for someone who knows so much about how Star used to promote herself, isn’t it odd that now all of a sudden, you can’t seem to keep up with anything she is doing? Oh, is it because she is airing your dirty laundry?
