What wouldn't a true anderfan do to meet Anderson Cooper? Trying to contact relatives is always a great idea. When Anderson's relatives aren't accessible, it's good to remember -- other celebrities have relatives too. After all, there are only six degrees of separation, not 360. Even if there was a dozen, they wouldn't be a hurdle for ACFan. For ACFan each degree is exactly what should bring her closer to the object of her wildest dreams. Turning all the connections into a perfect scenario can certainly be mind-twisting.

"So this lady I am friends with who pet sits - she walks George Clooney's cousin's dogs every day (one of Rosemary Clooney's sons with Jose Ferrar). I have filled in for her walking his dogs several times and am as a matter of fact seeing George's cousin and dogs tomorrow, friday, and Monday. My friend nows about Anderson and has asked George's cousin if he can find a way for me to meet Anderson personally. Her cousin seemed pleasantly surprised I wasn't interested in George but Anderson.
Remember when George was on AC360 just recently and Anderson asked George how he like travelling with his father? Maybe even a small get-together with George and Anderson and George's father to continue discussing their topic, and I just do a drop in thing, maybe come to get the dog and then get asked by George's cousin to stick around for a drink.
So, o.k. this could be a real stretch but what they hey! If it doesn't work I'll be no worse off than I am now, and I just keep dreaming."

Diagnosis: Squee!
Anderson Cooper is back at the anchor desk, time for his fangirls to squee! Of all things, fangirls squee the loudest about his wardrobe. They adore it when colors and patterns bring out Anderson’s baby-blues. Such beauty brings them close to esthetic orgasm.

"He was indeed looking very fine and sexy last night...eyes very blue and gotta love that tie/suit combo! Mmmmmm...

Labor Of Love
Devoted fans of Anderson Cooper count days and hours till they see him on his own show after a long break. Fangirls are so in sync with Anderson that his work cycle affects their biological cycle. The minute he disappears from their TV screen they whine and get moody and irritable. Our thief has a heart, he came by to help them get though the tough times of "Anderwithdrawal". Enjoy your Labor Day weekend!

Birds Of A Feather
Rachel Sklar gets bloggers attention from all angles. Brian Stelter, a known new media expert from TVNewser, now NY Times contributor, shared his observations about Colbert wrist band campaign. Charlie Gibson didn't play along, so: "Some media observers interpreted his recalcitrance as a statement that real news shows are not to be conflated with parodies." The only fellow media expert he quoted to prove his point was a familiar face, Rachel Sklar: ”“It’s a test. If you play along, you’re funny and cool, and if you don’t, you’re stiff and boring. How people like Brian Williams and Katie Couric react to him are an indication of what they are really like — their instinctive reactions are measures of their good humor and authenticity and humanity.” Rachel sure knows media from inside. Wondering though the CNN building she looked around "the 7th floor studio and office space, where I had previously sussed out a Fishbowl poster literally around the corner from Anderson Cooper's office. I may have swooned".
A third MSM expert, Jeff Bercovici jumped on her for the email to Stelter. "maybe viewers want a stiff, boring guy who seems like he'd rather deliver the news than run for class president of Anchor High. And maybe that explains why he's been kicking Brian and Katie's butts for the past year. Just a thought." Anchors should deliver the news and be a blank slate. Sure, making their personal information public has nothing to do with it. If "Anchor high" shouldn't be viewers concern in Jeff's mind, anchor internships is a whole different story. But that's an old one. Now all the focus is on Sklar who doesn't get it and of course has nothing in common with him.
Rachel wasn't thrilled about Jeff's attack: "I will refrain from commenting on Gibson here, just as I did in the NYT (cough Jeff Bercovici cough). God forbid to get her mixed up with ""some media observers" cited who "interpreted [Gibson's] recalcitrance as a statement that real news shows are not to be conflated with parodies. That would have required way too much thinking about this.". Why would HuffPo media editor spend time thinking about the media? Rachel quoted "without further ado, my full, rambling email to Stelter, pruned and edited to within an inch of its life en route to the presses" in HuffPo, "because nothing says "Post That Writes Itself" than one that's already been written.": "Colbert is bringing this kind of comedy into the world of news, suddenly handling this well speaks to character, which is pretty important when deciding who you want to spend half an hour with every day - or who you instinctively turn to in moments of national crisis."
"What's interesting about "WristGate" (if I may) is that it took something that could have been a one-off joke and gave it a bit more weight. They told Colbert they'd wear the bracelet - did they keep their word? If they didn't, why not? Don't they support the troops?" We all know that anything that can be labeled a "gate" is highly important for Sklar. Did she coin the word "interngate" or is it simply too close to her heart? Anderloads must be proud. That is a sign of friendship, they get tips from Sklar to better leak CNN inside matters and Sklar gets ideas from Anderloads. A true romance.
NY Mag wrote about this whole blog media drama in "Rachel Sklar Available for All Your Quoting Needs":
"our question is why was blogger Rachel Sklar quoted as a TV news expert in the first place? Why not someone with experience in the biz who could lend more insight — or an insider? Because the article was written by young Brian Stelter, a.k.a. the wunderkind behind the blog TVNewser, that's why. Before he was recently hired by the Gray Lady, he was Sklar's co-worker and buddy at Mediabistro. Silly Stetler — you can't just quote your friends. This is the Times, not the Observer!"

Kinky Ties
Anderson Cooper must have an aura of naughtiness. His fans see though trivial things and anything provokes dirty thoughts in them. Naughty chairs are always ready for fangirls, and not as a punishment.
"Yes..he seems to be a very horny little devil!!" by Cindy
"AnderTie Me Up/Tie Me Down ...???" by SoozInTheCity
"A couple of times in the water Anderson reached down and grabbed the trunk as the elephant was moving his trunk towards him. I think he was trying to avoid that scenerio. My thoughts exactly...I'd deffinately go lower!" by Cindy
"See I simply cannot think about the tie itself. I am far too absorbed in who's wearing it and what I would like to do with it." by Bonzi

I Wanna Be Your Dog
For many of the the fans Anderson Cooper is not only a newsman, he's also a fictional character. Whoever thought of Fucking Andy must have some fantasy. One blogger asked: If you could marry a fictional character on TV or in film who would it be?" Who would have a better candidate then Me Ellee: "Probably Andy, but then he isn't fictional, is he?"
Me Ellee must know, writing Anderchronicles for so long it's easy for reality to become fiction and fiction to become reality. Anderchronicles was endorsed and advertised by Phebe from the very first days of ATA. She casted the whole 360 crew in movies and cartoons on her blog. Phebe is always happy to blur the difference between reality, fantasy and fiction.
"It's an odd place I'm in, stuck between reality and fantasy. Fantasy is so much more fun." by Phebe
"Anderson, dear, I promise if we ever have dinner together I will not even think about answering my cell. I'll flush it down the toilet if that would convince you." by Phebe
"By the way, he seemed entirely too interested in the attractive attorney who was in the studio with him. Smart and beautiful, guess that gets his juices flowing. Hummmm, maybe if I showed off my intelligence in a blog he'd notice.....oh yea, I've tried that." by Phebe
"And of course Anderson revealed that Molly does indeed laugh. But of course, if I were his dog I'd be laughing too." by Phebe
