In what must be one of the gayest moments in CNN history, Ryan Seacrest, subbing for Larry King, took another major step in putting the "out" in "Seacrest out."
He appeared to pitch some serious woo Anderson Cooper's way when Anderson came on to promo his 10 p.m. show. The two went practically ga-ga for each other. I'm surprised digits were not exchanged on the air.
But they did, however, talk about the long pink appendage dangling from Ryan, as well as "taking a pounding."
Cruising this serious is usually reserved for dimly lit parks, not television screens across America.

That was sickeningly adorable.
Massive manhunt going on, indeed.

OK. I thought you were kidding/reading too much into it just to be funny. But that last little, "love the show" comment and the look over the camera was damn near Clark/Lex level of hoyay!

"I've heard that often." More than I wanted to know.

Thanks for teaching me a new word, Torrentprime. I'd love to know the etymology. :-)

This is too good... Mr. Cooper was on Live with Kelly last week and mentioned that he loved everything Oprah did. I wish you had that video too because it would have been perfect for the occasion.

Argh ... I need a better army of spies to give me heads-up on these things!

Thanks =)

Mal--
My first intro to hoyay was thru the televisionwithoutpity.com site. Reviews of Smallville over the past few years have seriously exposed the smoldering tension between Clark and Lex. Check out a few of the recaps and you'll see what I mean:

Aaaaggghh!!!!I can't watch the video, can someone send it to me, please.

How did an irritating little fop like Seacrest get to sub for the respectable and globally watched Larry King?
Posted by: brent | November 16, 2005 at 04:30 PM
Ezekiel, if it's an Apple/Mac issue, I apologize that I don't generally post Quicktime files. Not only is it more time-consuming for me to do, but they are ridiculously huge bandwidth hogs, even at the lowest resolutions.
I am told there is a good, lean application for Mac users here.
Posted by: Malcontent | November 16, 2005 at 05:00 PM
Ezekiel,
Also look into getting Flip4Mac. Handles WMV files natively in Quicktime. Not foolproof, but 99% of the time avoids ever having to open that horrible WMP.

Anderson is such a catch, he could do way better than Ryan, and I thought Anderson only liked latin boys?
Posted by: gordon | November 16, 2005 at 11:11 PM
Anderson Cooper is a homosexual?
Posted by: Yum Yum | November 17, 2005 at 12:12 AM
Well my guess is that Seacrest wanted a piece of Nicole Richie.
By the way I been watching Cooper's show for a while and he is not gay.
But Seacrest on the other hand ... may have wanted a piece of Coop too, that pink tie was a little much you know and we all know that Cooper is mighty fine.
Posted by: Ava | November 17, 2005 at 12:55 AM
Anderson IS gay and does like latin men (his partner is latino) and men of color in general.

I made the link to Kenneth's post active. For now (i.e., until it is abused), I do allow simple HTML tags in comments.

IF ANYTHING THEY MAKE A GREAT COUPLE !!!! GO FOR YOURS ANDERSON.

THIS IS ANDERSON COOPER'S LOVER "KALKIN"-http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/davilive/JOHNATHAN.jpg HE IS FROM HARRISBURG,PA.

I'm not sure what is worse, though, that he hit on AC right there in front of everyone or that he was allowed both to sub for Larry King AND interview Nicole Richie. Think about that. The producers of Larry King Live thought a good substitute would be Ryan Seacrest interviewing Nicole Richie. The giant sucking sound was the brain cells of anyone who happened to surf by the intellectual black hole.
