1. TMZ, you are so transparent. You created this post to get a bunch of Anderson Cooper-crazed fans to write endlessly about how they love him. yawn. NEXT.

2. Okay I'll get this lovefest started. I love Anderson Cooper (although Bill Hemmer and Richard Engel aren't bad either). Now give us some real stories.

3. You forgot Shepard Smith from Fox News:( He's pretty hot and I love his voice. Bill Hemmer also. Love those boys on Fox. As for Anderson Cooper, I like his stories, but as far as hotness goes, he doesn't do it. Richard Engel, nope.

5. Are you kidding me?? These are the worst and most violent ways our world has seen since World War II. People are dying everyday and YOU want to know who the HOTTEST reporter is?? Come on TMZ, don't discredit what little dignity you have left. You should retract this story. Who cares who the hottest reporter is, they are actual journalists, unlike your writers.

6. Are you kidding me?? We're about to see World War III and YOU people want to talk about who the hottest reporter is? Why don't we focus on the issue....that these are real journalists putting their own lives on the line for our benefit, unlike other bored paparozzis. Retract this story, it is in poor taste.

8. That is the worst picture of Anderson Cooper ever. The man is attractive but here he looks more like one of Jerry's kids. Did Anderson take the short bus to the
war? TMZ makes me laugh :)

9. Lara Logan from CBS is definently way hotter (and braver) than any pretty flack-jacketed news-reader sissy-boy!

10. r u kidding me? there are thousands of innocent people getting blasted in Isreal and primarily Lebanon, mostly of which include women and children, and we are voting on who's the hottest reporter in the middle east? SOMETHING VERY WRONG ABOUT THIS PICTURE!

12. i regret opening this page, because it will make it seem one more person thinks this page is interesting. it is inappropriate and sick. as already mentioned, there are civilians being slaughtered in this war. so, why don't you instead make a "Which corpse is the hotty?" page?

13. This contest is in bad taste. These guys are doing their jobs at great risk to themselves. In my book, that makes them all winners. They just happen to be handsome in addition to being brave.

14. It is ironic that Angela talks !%# about the writers at TMZ and yet here she is reading and responding twice to this article. if you want hard hitting war articles why dont you go to cnn like everyone else. Atleast TMZ puts a different spin on current issues.

15. Now...Jennifer Eccleston is a babe if we are speaking of hotties!
