Anderson Cooper is a serious journalist most of the time, reporting not just on select angles but on the full circle of news events. (I hope you get that because meager as it is, it took me a long time to come up with.)  Cooper doesn’t discuss his personal life, saying, “The whole thing about being a reporter is that you’re supposed to be an observer and to be able to adapt with any group you’re in, and I don’t want to do anything that threatens that.” He does have a lighter side, however, and he’s not afraid to voice his disdain for certain members of the pop culture world.  For instance, he famously told Kelly Ripa he thought the Lohan clan and their show were trash.  Who doesn’t, but it’s not something you expect to hear from a CNN news anchor.

Last night Cooper spoke with My Life on the D-List star Kathy Griffin. The face of celebrity smut herself, Paris Hilton, came up in the conversation, and Cooper did not hold back on his impression of Hilton’s parents. Watch here to see what adjective he uses (more than once!) to describe Rick and Kathy. Apparently this TV personality can report breaking news and race Olympic athletes and talk trash about celebs with a self-proclaimed fame whore. Now that’s versatility.
