I think Anderson Cooper is hot. And this even proves it more. He was filling in for Regis the other day over at Live with Regis & Kelly when Jillian Harris was on the show. Jillian has been quite popular where I live since she lives close by…I was happy that she picked Ed. (But don’t you dare ask how many shows I actually watched.)

I have never really been into the show since I find it degrading to women and men. If I am dating someone I don’t want them to kiss 10 or so other people. So Anderson decided to ask the question that everyone wants to know, well at least I do because I have always wondered.

Anderson: “How many of the guys did you sleep with?”

Jillian: <Shock> “I kissed 10 guys but only 4 of them with tongue.”

Anderson: “You know what?  I just threw up in my mouth a bit.”

Anderson is my hero!

10.) Gerard Butler: He won you over in PS I Love You, I can definitely see why.

9.) Anderson Cooper: Sex appeal and intelligence. Rare, and yes please.

8.)Tom Hanks: Multi talented, and an understated sexy.

7.) Barack Obama: Tell me who acts more convincingly than the President, go ahead, I’ll wait. Mhmm, that’s what I thought. Anyway, sexy and in power. Nice.

6.) George Clooney: He has been on every sexy list since he was discovered I think. May as well keep him around,yeah?

5.) Hugh Jackman: I can’t explain the quiet sex appeal that IS Hugh Jackman. But it’s there.

4.) Hugh Laurie:Maybe it’s his sarcasm, maybe it’s his wit, maybe it’s his looks, or hell all three, all I know is ME-YOW.

3.) Mel Gibson: If I didn’t put Mel on this list,my own momma would get a hold of me. So, mom, this one is for you!

2.) Hugh Grant: His smile, his accent, he’s just very appealing to me.

and number one, for me, is the epitome of sexy over 40:

1.) Richard Gere: I’d be his Pretty Woman, you know, minus the whole prostitute thing. I,uh, wouldn’t want to have to do THAT.

I think Anderson Cooper is adorable…and even in this clip he’s adorable. Is he drunk? Maybe…it seems like people worked the next day after going to Inauguration parties and drinking the night before. I really feel like I need to help Anderson with pronouncing every word. Anderson..if you ever need private lessons…call me!

I miss seeing Anderson Cooper on The Mole. I loved watching it because he was on it. And now he covers the new issue of Best Life, out October 21. Here are some highlights from the interview…

Best way to prepare for a trip: “I pack virtually nothing.”

Best place to carry a passport: “My passport is a mess. I carry it in my front pocket, so it’s all bent. But I know where it is at all times. I find those pouches ridiculous.”

Best DVD for a long flight: “The Professional is one of my favorite movies. Gary Oldman is so great in it. I watch and rewatch it.”

Best cure for jet lag: “Whenever you have free time, sleep. I’ve found you can usually work round the clock for four or five days, and then you collapse in a pool of your own filth. But for five days, you can do anything.”

Best food for the road: “I travel with a lot of PowerBars and foil packs of crackers and tuna. They get better the farther you are from other food sources.”

Best rule to eat safely: “I hate being sick overseas, so I’m very careful. I stick with chicken, rice, and beans. I don’t get very adventurous.”

Best writers for a journey: “David Sedaris. Augusten Burroughs. Cormac McCarthy. I really liked The />Road. I tend to read something that’s a complete diversion from what I’m doing.”

Best way to relax: “No TV, no radio, no iPod … just sit in a place without any external stimulant, have a cold drink, and be calm. Be present where you are.”

Best drink for that: “Nothing beats an ice-cold Coke in a glass bottle.”

There is nothing like an ice cold Coke…it cures everything that ails you.
