Anderson Cooper has responded to Star Jones' claims he came out to boost ratings and it wasn't nice. In a segment for his "Anderson Live" daytime talk show, Cooper opened up his true feelings to Bravo honcho Andy Cohen about how he really felt about a comment Jones made about his coming out. When Cohen asked Cooper if anything has happened or changed since the CNN anchor came out publicly, Cooper admitted that it "annoyed" both him and his mother that Jones had "suddenly attacked him" for coming out.

The newsman got quizzed about his coming out by Kristen Chenoweth during the second-season premiere of his talk show.

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper had a busy week but he still took the time to send a precious gift to first time mom Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.

News anchor Anderson Cooper and his boyfriend Ben Maisani both stepped out of his New York apartment on Tuesday Aug.21 which puts rumors to rest if the couple split up after Daily Mail posted photos of the 39-year-old kissing another man. Photos were posted of the pair leaving their New York City townhouse separately several hours after a video surfaced of the couple on a yacht together while on vacation in Croatia. Cooper, 45, stepped out in a baseball cap, t-shirt and jeans and an hour later Maisani, the owner of a gay bar in New York City, left their townhouse and hopped on a bike and rode away.
