17. I've recently developed a tiny crush on CNN's John Vause (Jerusalem correspondent). See link below:

18. Why are you people coming to a CELEBRITY GOSSIP NEWS SITE if you're so worried about the world's issues...?

19. Hey, I can multi task. I care about our troops and other social issues, AND think Anderson Cooper is HOT. I'd like to watch his "hard" news anytime. Sizzle, Sizzle!!!!!!!

20. This is my view of it. My husband is on his second tour of duty in Iraq, and finding humor and laughter is among the things that keeps me from going out of my mind with worry. I find this blog entry from TMZ funny, humorous and light-hearted. Yes these reporters are risking their lives in Israel and Lebanon, I watch the news and I am very worried about what is going on, but for TMZ to try to lighten the mood, I'd take it anyday. Anyone remember the media doing the same thing during the Persian Gulf war? I think they call them Scud Studs. Anyway I say, chill out and find the humor in it. I know I am:)

27. This is unbelievable. Who's the hottie? It's "journalism" like this that kept the American public ignorant and out of touch before their "leaders" got us into this monumental mistake of a war. Thanks for helping to do your little part to reinforce denial and ignorance, Mr or Mrs. hard-hitting "news" producer. Edward R. Murrow would be proud. ("Who, like, is Edward R. Murrow? Is he, like, hot?")

28. This is definitely a cheap ploy to get people to fawn over Anderson Cooper. Besides, Cooper and Bill Hemmer are only there for now, they'll be back in the States by next week. Richard Engel is NBC's Beirut Bureau Chief and has been in Iraq for a long time, so he's certainly not some pansy boy who went for ratings.

Plus Engel is way hotter than AC any day.

29. This post is disgusting. I know we all need a break from bad news but this crosses the line.

30. Heh, get a load of all the church ladies sniffing at the Very Idea! You'd think they'd never seen a war before. (Scud Stud, anyone?)

It’s an unfair contest really. Hemmer and Engel would probably do fine in less stunning company, but Cooper is in a class by himself.
