Last night in the Bravo Clubhouse, the gang debated an age-old question—"Boxers or Briefs?" NeNe is shocked by the idea that Anderson Cooper "marches around in briefs," prompting the anchor to ponder "don't most guys wear both?"

Anderson Cooper's dangerous Greenwich Village converted firehouse home wasn't much help when his neighbor's apartment caught fire early today. The FDNY still managed to put out the blaze quickly. There are too many Anderson Cooper/firemen jokes to pick just one!

In your drenched Wednesday media column: the NYT pay wall draws near, a royal wedding can't sell magazines any more, Anderson Cooper reams an old Texas man, James Hibberd moves to EW, and Romenesko is all weird now.

Every day, girl. Love in the afternoon every day. Well, five days a week at least. Also today: Dr. Drew continues to be employed, the always welcome Angela Bassett lands a role, and Jim Belushi is doing just fine.

Lady Gaga and Anderson Cooper are drinking buddies. James Franco continues to be the best at everything. Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal continue their world coffee shop tour. Sunday Gossip Roundup is a perfectly-made fried egg.

Last night, CNN's Anderson Cooper did a story about bonobo apes that can communicate. They ordered him to put on a bunny suit and, like a good reporter, he did. This treads the fine line between ridiculous and adorable.

The Internet was afire today with the news that Amazon.com is selling a guide for pedophiles. Tonight, Anderson Cooper let his disgust be known when he opened AC360 with a related segment and called out Amazon's hypocrisy in the process.

[Anderson Cooper tweeted this picture tonight, writing: "in IA for story on ape communication. The apes asked me to dress as a rabbit. Weird, huh?" Very! Pic via Anderson Cooper's Twitter]

Tonight's 60 Minutes featured Anderson Cooper's profile of Eminem, and—while certain parts lagged—it delivered the drama, including a discussion (and probe by Cooper) regarding the rapper's homophobic/misogynistic/violent lyrics and whether or not he could defend them. Watch inside.

After receiving criticism from Anderson Cooper and GLAAD, Universal has removed a dumb gay joke from its trailer for the new Vince Vaughn movie The Dilemma. This is a huge blow to Americans' right to make dumb gay jokes.

Anderson Cooper was on Ellen recently talking about gay bullying, and he mentioned (but not by name) the trailer for the Vince Vaughn comedy The Dilemma, which prominently features a gay joke. Cooper is not happy with it, understandably.

Chris Armstrong, the openly gay University of Michigan student body president who was systematically harassed by a Michigan assistant attorney general, was on CNN last night to denounce bullying. Watch his interview and his attacker try to defend his position.

Michigan attorney general Mike Cox went on CNN last night to defend Andrew Shirvell, his assistant attorney general who writes a childish rage blog attacking University of Michigan's gay student body president. Why won't he discipline Shirvell? First Amendment, dummies!

It's official: Anderson Cooper will host a syndicated daytime talk show beginning in fall 2011. What should he call it?

Anderson Cooper is in talks to host a syndicated daytime talk show targeted for Fall 2011. He would still host AC360 on CNN. They should call it Coop Dog. Or maybe Stone Coop. Or Coop Deck. Or: Coop Beverly Hills.

New York magazine wrote about Anderson Cooper's boyfriend's new bar today, minus the word "boyfriend." Chicken?

This morning, Cooper told us about his days as a childhood thief. But rather than stealing candy or toys, he would take the cutlery from airplanes, because "one day I'll have a house and need cutlery." How practical.

Anderson Cooper's main squeeze Benjamin Maisani already co-owns gay bar Eastern Bloc in Manhattan's East Village. Now he's on the brink of opening a second establishment on Avenue C. Do you think Andy will actually go to this one?
