Loyal fans try to connect with Anderson Cooper in different ways. Some seek to have a very special personal communication. For some it’s enough to see the look in his eyes, and they can stare into his soul. Phebe tells it how it is: “Some, I think, are convinced they are destined to be Mrs. Anderson Cooper. Best to just stay out of their way, eventually they give up and move on. The rest of us wear our Anderblue blinders and hold cyberhands nightly softly humming kumbaya while enjoying Mr.Cooper”. Holding cyberhands, they look for their own connection and reflect on how similar they are to Anderson.
"I have a puffy black jacket just like Anderson's. Obviously, we have the same taste. Also, mine is new, and his looks new too. Plus, I wear my black jacket with jeans, just like he does." By ACFan
“…here's my sadly fangirlish attempt to show how much Mr.Cooper and I have in common.
ANDERSON / ME
Springer Spaniel(Welsh) named Molly / Springer Spaniel(English) named Bailey
wears lots of blue / I love blue
Ivy League education / could have gone Ivy League, picked Big 10 for better football

Mother named Gloria Vanderbilt / jeans named Gloria Vanderbilt”

Pot, Meet Kettle
A few commenters pointed to us that fans of Anderson Cooper are always busy of accusing others in stalking. Bloggers accuse all other bloggers. Some go as far as stalking fellow “stalkers”. What do you get sending freaks to the frontlines of war on stalking? Freakspeakers enjoy condemning what they see as the army of fangirl stalkers with a chief stalker Anthony. His biggest crime was going to signings and taking pictures of Anderson’s apartment where he was legally, and posting a picture of Anderson’s window on his photo page. Meanwhile, they met Anthony at a book signing, and Christiane posted pictures of Anderson’s apartment. Pot, are you calling the kettle black?
Others rushed to call freaks stalkers for posting the photos, but they couldn’t choose between that and freaks being liars for posting fake pictures. That would be saying Freaks are fake stalkers, too easy for them to get off the hook. Apartment pictures are obviously real, which makes their case worse. Please do not suspect me in trusting Freaks.
There is a stalker blog I do trust -- The Real Estalker, that posted these photos and it’s no Gawker Stalker. The blog Mama knows her celebrities and real estate, and verifies her information, and well-respected. It turned out Mama a he – a top-notch realtor Mark David. He used the photos from Freaks and confirmed it is Anderson’s penthouse. The fans were confused by this, our commenter Andie C had some doubts: “Only because I heard that this information--about the mock-ups being posted--was forwarded to him and he had someone tell whoever forwarded him the head's up that they are, indeed, fake.” The heads-up came from Anderson’s email to Cindy, ATA, ACE and AC360 blog regular.
The thought of another blogger having a better access to something Anderson related was unbearable to Cindy. Her and the likes flocked to ACE in disbelief of Freaks audacity posting fake photos. They decided to start the campaign against the evil blog: “I have and will continue to send Anderson e-mail regarding this other blog. If he has any balls maybe he will clear this up, because I think it is all, and I mean all, coming to a head. "What goes up, must come down," and when it does these weirdos can take credit for that too.“ Cindy became the leader of the outraged. “ALL...I just went and emailed Anderson, CNN, and 360 again about all of this crap!!” “Wonder how we can reach him...I've already emailed AC, CNN, and 360...Might as well do Klein too!!” They all decided: “Fuck Anderson. Take it to Klein!” It all was really “coming to a head”.
Cindy’s head. A miracle happened! “...I emailed Anderson about the photos and guess who just emailed back from their blackberry!?!”, “Want to know the truth on the photos...I know ...got it straight from Anderson himself...” . For non-believers she had proof! “This is what Anderson emailed me...I have not seen this website but any "photos" of my apartment are fake! Do you really think i would give permission to some random website to publish real photos of someplace I live? Life is too short to worry about this stuff, so I don't, but I find it unfortunate.” How could anybody think she made it up! “If you'll know one thing about me it is I DO NOT LIE...I thought I was helping to clear this up. Instead I get attacked! He emailed me!!! YES HE DID!! And those are his EXACT words...why he wrote so much...who knows..but he did.” And the legend was born.
Hausfraus are determined in their love and desire to protect Anderson. And the more loving outbursts they have, the faster they get enraged if their idol does something unworthy of him. Libbey felt betrayed: "I guess that settles it then. Anderson has little respect for his fans. Fawning or not, he should be be grateful but instead he gives exclusives to a blog that belittles his fans. I can't really watch or buy whatever book from a person who is that ungrateful to his fan." And of course, Cindy: “If he's so sick of the nauseating praise let's see how he reacts when he has no fans and becomes a nobody again!! Guess then you'll become a nobody too!! Since you think you know so much.”
Be afraid of the wrath of hausfraus.

The Enigma of Anderfans
Anderson Cooper fans have two great qualities, curiosity and imagination. Sometimes it comes in excess. Anderfans are so persistent, they don't care if they are crossing the line of dignity, privacy and respect.
"Last night I had a dream that Anderson Cooper was a big Strawberry...I dipped him in Chocolate and licked him clean...But I didn't put him in my mouth and chew on him cause I didn't want to hurt him." by Ann
"Oh man, I gotta add my two cents to this!! I must be in the minority who believe that our sweet, darling, Anderson has more mileage on that penis than we can imagine!! I'd like to strap an odometer onto it!! Masturbation doesn't count. Sorry Andy Baby, but I gotta call it as I see it!!" by Cha cha
"It is almost impossible to think that nobody has seen him completely naked at the gym, or in any other place for that matter. Yet, how come nobody has said anything about his private parts' size, color, texture, proportions, beauty, pubic hair, circumcision... Our man is an enigma!" by Peter

What would you lick to be near Anderson Cooper?
.jpg)
Let's talk more about the firing of Anderson Cooper 360 intern. When it comes to the truth a tight group of our commenters claims Executive Privilege. They are going out of their way to defend little angels, the former AC360 intern Rachel and AC360 Review mod Eliza. They insist that we need to take HuffPo's posts as a gospel. Let's all say 'amen' every time HuffPo trashes Anderson Cooper. Anons direct us to Rachel Sklar's post in HuffPo to learn the truth.
First, words of the intern herself that you will not see in that HuffPo post:
"I stare at that man in person from all angles for at least a few hours a week."
"And let's be honest . . . I'd clean toilets with my tongue all semester if I could be near Anderson while I did it :-p"
Our commenter said about Sklar: "I'd like to think the famous professional writer/reporter is much more reliable than random jealous wankers",
That's right, Ms. Sklar is famous. And this is what she's famous for. As an editor of a media and gossip blog FishbowlNY, Gawkers rival, she leaked CNN inside information. Her source, CNN employee she was friends with got in though security to roam around CNN, he also gave Fishblow access to a closed company meeting.
Rachel Sklar was so happy to get insider's info that she leaked the details of that meeting in her post. That got her source fired from CNN. Nice job, Rachel! She defended herself: "...I did not consider the information to be proprietary or confidential information or anything relating to trade secrets". "I was never contacted regarding any of my coverage and Thomsen never received any sort of warning regarding the Fishbowl coverage", "there was no malice intended toward CNN, just the desire to report on an influential newsgathering organization"
Sounds familiar? Another Rachel leaks inside information and the source gets fired. But this Rachel, the intern, is the one who is the source for her friends in the closed community. Her friend Eliza leaks other inside information. She spills all about the rise and fall of the intern to the "regular folk" not reliable enough to belong to their community. Eliza defended her source:
"The thing about this entire situation that upsets Rachel and the community the most is that there was no warning.""She would never want to hurt anyone who works at the show (and frankly, neither do I)". "if CNN has an official policy on staff blogging, it was never mentioned (you guys really need to get one of those). To be fair, there was a “disclosure of confidential information” policy, but it contained no definition of what was confidential."
Deja Vu. Can it surprise anybody that Rachel Sklar felt sympathetic for the plight of the poor intern and Eliza's public outrage? Eliza knows that the best defense is offense: “However, as televisions across the country flipped off 360 in anger, Rachel reiterated to us over and over again that this was not 360’s fault and that we should not be mad at them.”
She and her Anderloads friends have an influence in the whole USA! No wonder Eliza feels powerful enough to give out recommendations and threats to CNN.
“What doesn’t make any sense is that firing Rachel with no warning was an extremely stupid and risky thing for CNN to do. They can’t fire her twice. She could have us spread the contents of her posts all over the Internet (not that anything in those posts would be anything but positive PR for CNN). Hell, she could have us forward them to Fox News. But Rachel is a person of integrity and would never allow us to do that.” In other words, otherwise we would. Fox News is perfect for anderfans who say the truth is with them, so you should trust them instead of seeing it yourself.
I forgot to mention that Ms. Sklar is quite a fangirl herself. Anderson gets her very excited: “No way - so Anderson WAS there!!!” “I'm not even talking about Anderson here, people, it's bigger than that” “I felt my heart leap. "Did Anderson see? Did he like it? Did he ask about me?" I asked breathlessly, hope welling in my chest. (He said he thought Anderson was out of town. I'd totally settle for Rob Marciano)”.
What a choice of a blogger to send the intern's diary to! Who can better understand the temptation and agony of informing the public of CNN's internal matters then Rachel Sklar!
Many would like to think the contributing editor always checks her information. A journalist wrote on Romenesko: "At least Rachel Sklar admits that she didn't even read Michiko Kakutani's review of the new Harry Potter book before taking to the HuffPost to declare it an offense against the readers -- an admission that probably tells us all we need to know about Sklar's breathless and misguided essay".
We must always trust Ms. Sklar to be well-informed and unbiased. She is the ultimate source of Truth, together with our anon commenters who think they own it.
Conversations between brain cells
The topic of Interngate created a lively discussion among our readers. I'd like to say a few words about it, I will blog later today. Stay tuned!
Fans of Anderson Cooper provide plenty of drama, and they provide as much entertainment. It's weekend and people like to forget their troubles. It's good to have a few lighthearted moments. I'm happy we can rely on anderfans to help us.
"At 10 PM/ET in the US most brain cells consist solely of the image of Anderson Cooper!" by Peter
"I'll meet Andy Baby sooner or later, but you can bet when I do I'll be dressed for it and I know what I'll say to him!" by Cha cha
"My sweet puppy is enjoying Anderson's dog segments as much as I do. I tried to get her to smile for the camera but she was annoyed that I disrupted her Anderviewing." By Phebe
"Whew if angels look like him...take me to heaven now!!!" by Cindy
