So I woke up this morning to a hot exclusive in my email about the Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen trip to Croatia. (Special thanks to Jarenov). Sometimes, boys and girls, we don’t get what we wish for. It seems that Ben Maisani is on the Croatian trip with Anderson after all. In the video above you can clearly see Ben as well as Anderson, Andy, Kelly and Mark aboard the super yacht Princess Iolanthe in the city of seaport of Dubrovnik, Croatia. I know, I know, not what we were hoping for. Update: Apparently the Diane Von Furstenberg was also on the trip. What a group!

It appears that the Croatian paparazzi (who knew?) got a bit to close to the boat and Mark Consuelos opted to jump off the fancypants yacht and chase them away! One of their crewmen (the captain?) runs behind him.  How macho! It appears the bushes were full of paparazzi as the group attempts to get a taxi. After unsuccessfully attempting to get a taxi  the group heads back to the yacht. On the way back several tourists and some paparazzi approach the clan with iPhones and TV cameras respectively and  ask how they are enjoying Croatia. None of the group responds despite a voice begging for “just one sentence.” Later in the video, the reporter is heard discussing the fact that Anderson Cooper recently came out publicly as a gay man and that gay marriage is illegal in most of the US. (This is my translation and I don’t speak Croatian. I do know a little Romanian, which is not even remotely similar… so take it for what it’s worth)
