ANDERSON COOPER on his “naughty” gift from Madonna, his HATRED for doing celebrity interviews and his love for Adele & Eminem!
ON BEING PALS WITH MADONNA …. AND HER NAUGHTY GIFT ….
Jenny: Are you really friends with Madonna or just tangetially?
Anderson: I mean, I know her, she’s been in my house,I wouldn’t say we’re like…
Jenny: Does she get you birthday presents?
Anderson: She has given me a birthday present..
Jenny: What? What’s the best gift she’s given you?
Anderson: She gave me, sort of hard to describe, it was cool. It was like a sculptural thing that you took apart, I don’t know it’s hard to explain …it had a sort of hidden something inside it that I’m not gonna go into.
Jenny: Oh my gosh …. It was probably something naughty!
Anderson: It was something naughty.
ON ANDY COHEN ….
Jenny: You’ve already talked about you and Andy Cohen have no (romantic) chemistry…he’s your best friend.
Anderson: Andy Cohen and I, we go way back, we hang out all the time.
Jenny: But it’s not romantic?
Anderson: Not at all. Not at all.
ON HATING DOING CELEBRITY INTERVIEWS …. ASIDE FROM ADELE AND EMINEM ….. AND BIEBER! ………….
Jenny: What is your weirdest encounter with a celebrity?
Anderson: I tend not to see a lot of celebrities, I don’t hang out with celebrities. I honestly never know what to ask a celebrity like I just really hate interviewing them UNLESS they’re really interesting – like I did profile of Adele for 60 minutes.And that was awesome and she’s great to hang out with. Eminem is a fascinating character- I’ve profiled him. Generally people I’ve been actually been able to spend time with in some sort of interview I’ve enjoyed…
Jenny: What do you think of the new fame?
Like the Kylie Jenner?
Anderson; I don’t really think about it. I don’t begrudge anybody their success if they’re happy and not hurting people…
Jenny: Are you a Bieber fan?
Anderson: It’s funny, I honestly could not name one good Justin Bieber song but I will say I watched him do that CBS late night, James Corden, Car karaoke, which I really like and I’ve watched both of the Bieber ones I thought he came off very appealing and I thought it was a venue that worked well for him…
Jenny: If you were stranded on an island would you want to be Donald Trump or Sarah Palin, who and why?
Anderson: That’s it? Those are the choices?
Jenny: Those are the choices today!
Anderson: It’s a non- answerable question. Wow, I feel like. I don’t know. Whoever would help me get off the island. Would Donald Trump be more inventive in terms of coming up with ways to build something to get us off the island? I don’t know.
