ONCE AGAIN today Anderson is talking about Toddlers and Tiaras. As a southern girl, I really don’t get the drama over children’s beauty pageants. Like most other things that are sensationalized on TV they pick the craziest moms and the most over the top little girls to focus the show on. There is nothing wrong with pageants. There is something wrong with some of the pageant moms who dress their babies up as hookers and cover them in make-up and prance them all over the stage looking like mini-prostitutes. In the scope of global issues, this is not a problem that deserves a whole lot of our time and attention. Yet somehow, Anderson has become obsessed with the topic. And it’s creepy. To be fair, part of the creepiness is that Anderson is a man and that alone makes it creepier than if say, Wendy Williams covered the topic. Anderson Cooper talking about makeup and weaves and such on little girls just makes me feel oooky.

Oh Anderson, please tell me this is simply a result of someone telling you that daytime viewers are idiots with pudding for brains. Tell me you are at least a tiny bit embarrassed by your behavior. Please stop taking programming tips from Bravo Andy. We need you to use that beautiful stage of yours to bring at least a smidgen of dignity and journalistic integrity to the daytime airwaves. Stop wallowing in the daytime talk show gutter and put your skills to good use for a brand new audience. Don’t make me break up with you too!
Anderson Cooper can do NO wrong. I assure you, he is laughing to the point of stomach cramps at the redneck gloriousness of all things Toddlers and Tiaras. It IS humorous. I get together with my gay husbands just to watch, judge, and scream. In our circle, NO ONE is more detested than Honey Boo Boo Chile and that creature that spawned her.
