You Cannot Have Anderson Cooper's Babies

This doesn't have much to do with the movies other than that a new CNN special "Planets in Peril" was billing itself as a film (really?) for a press screening at the CMJ Music and Film Festival. I was there to write about it for Zoom-In but I didn't want to flame out over at the other gig with the mandatory gay lust for Anderson Cooper or his new (?) biceps. Still, I thought you might enjoy this tiny tidbit from the Q & A.

The "movie" has a segment about the unnaturally high chemical count we've all got in our bloodstream these days and Cooper plays willing guinea pig. They run a bunch of tests and the doctors tell him that he's in the 95th percentile for one type of chemical that can cause infertility. Turns out that particular chemical is in the makeup he wears daily for TV.

have triplet brothers --I just combined the only three good shots I got

In the Q & A afterwards:

Concerned woman: 'What will you do about the makeup?'
Anderson: [all relaxed, amiable] 'Oh you mean my low sperm count?'
A Voice From the Crowd: 'You don't need it!'

Can you blame me for thinking they were referencing his baby-making skill? Anderson, chuckling, brought the subject back to television and Hi-Def cameras insuring us that he did, in fact, need it. [editors note: make up... not the ability to procreate. pay attention]
