Anderson Wags Yalie Finger at Paris

Posted Jun 28th 2007 3:48PM by TMZ Staff

Anderson Cooper -- once famously dubbed the "Paris Hilton" of cable news -- gave the real Paris Hilton the third degree last night, bagging on her for doing, well, nothing.

The silver-haired Yale graduate and Vanderbilt family scion laid into the GED-educated Paris on his show last night, which he grudgingly devoted to Hilton, who had just been interviewed on his good friend Larry King's show. "I don't understand her," said Coop, "I don't understand the appeal ... she's 26 years old. Why hasn't she been substantial until now?"

What was big, mean Mr. Cooper doing when he was 26? Oh, that's right -- reporting from war torn and disease-ridden countries like Vietnam, Somalia, and Rwanda.

Yeah, whatever -- how many Carl's Jr. spots does Dandy Andy have under his racquet-patterned grosgrain belt?

46. Mr. LIVE IN A BUBBLE COOPER, she HAS been significant way before this. The fact that you never bothered to look into it does not make it nonexistant. I will not list her achievments here for you. I suggest you look it up with your big upper head. I saw you judging her last night on T.V. You said it yourself, you did not understand her. Maybe you are way out of touch with these sort of thing. Although there are many things going on in the world, you just ignored this. That is why you do not know, nor understand.

48. I want to know why she only has a GED education.

49. ANDERSON COOPER is a great example of a privileged child whose priorities are in the right place. He is an exemplary human being.

51. Anderson Cooper is the perfect example of how children of immense wealth should be brought up. Kudos to his mother. I think he did an outstanding job and his reporting was some of the most honest I've seen yet. I don't believe he enjoys talking about Ms. Hilton and giving her any more publicity than she "deserves", but like it or not, she is news. He even acknowledged that. Ms. Hilton is a moron, and I think the only decent place for anyone to discuss her is here in this forum, where people like us can beotch and moan about what a waste of time she is but we somehow manage to take time out of our lives to post this stuff! Like it or not, it would be kind of dull without Ms. Hilton (and I use "Ms." loosely, no pun intended). As much as I can't stand her, here I am...

52. As a child of privilege, Cooper understands the lifestyles of the rich and infamous.

Kudos to him for showing us that the media princess has no substance and that she has squandered her resources and opportunities.

53. Ditto Anderson. You are speaking for 92% of the country.

54. Mr. Cooper, a delight to see a reporter, report. As a woman, I am so thoroughly delighted that you berated these girl's today that actually look up to such horrible examples, which allows them to never achieve the potential they may never realize existed.
Kudos, to you, Sir.

55. Here we go again.....TMZ just had to come up with another angle to get another
Paris story....by using Anderson Cooper to create interest in this story.

What's the next Paris story gonna be??? Which angle (or who) will TMZ use next???

TMZ...why don't you try being llike "US Weekly" and drop the Paris stories due to the
public's Paris fatigue.

57. WTF?......

Her parents are to blame. They would much rather raise a drunken jail bird than a professional adult. Paris acts exactly like her Mommy.

Posted at 4:47PM on Jun 28th 2007 by .... ?

58. Paris only has a GED because she is stupid and dropped out of high school.

Paris has never denied having a GED.

59. At least Anderson Cooper hasn't sat back on his family's money. He's gone out, gotten well educated, fought for his career....and made something of himself. I actually think he is one of the most qualified people to "judge" Paris since he was also raised with every privilege money could provide.....the difference between Anderson and Paris is, Anderson made something of himself, Paris is a non-talented waste of air who has done NOTHING with her life.
