Andy Cohen Lands Cover of February 2013 GQ!

January 19, 2013 by tamaratattles 17 Comments

Andy is so vain he thinks this reunion show is about him. Andy Cohen must be through the roof with happiness! He landed the cover of GQ magazine for February 2013. I just see in my head how gleeful he must have been at the photoshoot. In fact they did a behind the scenes video which I plan to watch soon (I should not even be blogging right now but I just had to share this and give y’all something to talk about.) The article is full of behind the scenes tea about WWHL and also one of her book signings. It’s gooood. Apparently, Andy is even more into Jenny MacCarthy than we even began imagine.

The author, Daniel Riley, went to multiple WWHL shootings and tells us everything we ever wondered about the set:

“A bunch of times this fall, I sat with the audience of eighteen in the  “clubhouse” of WWHL. The set is a replica of the den in Andy’s  apartment. It’s like that scene in Wayne’s World when Wayne and  Garth see Wayne’s basement on the soundstage for the first time. It’s gotta be a  little heady. You can read a history of the show in the tchotchkes he’s got on  his shelves. Gifts from guests (a Justin Bieber doll, a Housewife’s former  breast implant), photos of Andy with ’70s songstresses, a framed Lite-Brite of  the St. Louis arch. “I feel like I’m in my home, like we’re doing the show for  party guests at my apartment,” Andy says. “I still don’t feel like I’m on TV.”

andy“Each of the WWHL shows I attended was different, but the  pre-game was pretty much the same—the audience members huddled up drinking in  the lobby, swapping stories of how they scored invitations (it’s a tougher  ticket than you’d ever imagine; a pair of seats recently went for eighteen grand  at auction, “something that’s    happening quite a lot these days,” Andy  says), and then squeezing in on sawed-off benches behind the cameras. In that  little space, on those little-kid benches in the studio, mouthing the words to  One Direction singles, female audience members (and just as many men) have  trouble controlling themselves as they wait for Andy to arrive. I saw a  representative sample of guests—Bravolebrities, actors, musicians—but no one  generated the same kind of physical anticipation as the host.”

I loved this analogy from Daniel Riley about Andy’s relationship with the housewives. Who do you think the Miami Housewife was?

“A Miami Housewife, camera-ready, cuts the line and surprises Andy. He does seem  surprised. And not as happy to see her as she is to see him. (This seems to be a  common dynamic between Andy and many of the Bravolebrities: The adoration is  mutual, but unbalanced. In many cases it seems Andy loves them like people love  their pets, whereas the stars seem to love him like pets love  the human who’s rescued them from the pound.)”

You really need to go read this whole article, it’s really good and full of tea.

    “And not as happy to see her as she is to see him.”

    Except for Nene Leakes and Bethany of course!

      Tamara pray tell who it is from Miami Housewives! I am fairly certain he adores Mama Elsa but gosh it could be any one of those women from the show. I am thinking Lea Black?

      Oh I forgot about her!! She is pretty hungry for her fifteen minutes of fame. What a hot mess. She is so phoney. But Lea is so arrogant and entitled that it could maybe be her.. Let’s hope Tamara fills us in!!

      Just finished reading the article by the assistant editor of GQ. I thought you had found out through that article and alas no, it’s exactly as much info as you shared. with us. So who do YOU think it was Tamara? I still say Lea. I saw Andys face during the reunion when she made some of her inane comments. He doesn’t care for her much imo. The article was quite good btw, enjoyed it. But not as much as I loved your article. Thank you!

    I never pinch other people’s stories. I strongly encourage you to read the GQ article. It is fabulous! And I am not going to speculate on the RHOM here…for now. I may find out though.:) I hope a favorite Miami journalist of mine will bother to care and either make a post or tell me. 🙂

    I just need to LOOK AWAY from the pictures of Andy’s cuteness and try to remember this instead. http://s17948.p858.sites.pressdns.com/2012/01/18/a-love-letter-to-andy-cohen/ Damn him. They always bring me back in.

      The first time I saw Andy Cohen was when he interviewed Jeff Lewis after the first season of Flipping Out. I was immediately attracted to this wonky eye salt n pepper haired handsome guy. I had never seen or heard of Andy Cohen before. Time passed and then one day while surfing the net I saw pictures of him on vacation with actor Daniel Craig & friends on the beach. Andy was wearing a bathing suit. My eyes wide with delight at the sight of his manly frame and hairy chest…Then all of sudden he was a constant presence on TV, and I couldn’t be more fascinated to almost restraining order levels. Without sounding crude Andy Cohen makes me wet in all the right places… I love his show, the quirkiness, and it is a throwback to the Dean Martin days of cocktails on TV. I love the concept and wish it would upgrade to a 1hour show. I would really be a drunk ass lush if that happens.

    I don’t like Andy at all! But I do like that GQ has put an openly gay man on their cover. GQ mainly features sexy women and straight men, so this is great change.

      Wow I can’t believe how many people here adore Andy so much. That’s great. I honestly didn’t know he had that many fans

      Well good for GQ but I can’t stand the guy. I’m glad Tamara is happy about this though. Yay

        We try to love Andy here. But he makes it really hard sometimes. 🙂 Stick around and we will be bashing his next bonehead move soon. 🙂 That said, cover of GQ is a big deal!

    I am madly in love with Andy in every way. Love his looks, his enthursiasm, jewishness, how in love with everyone he is but still tells it like it is. Love the way he makes and keeps friends. I especially love his love for his mother and father. I’m sure they are so proud. He could only be where he is today because of how they supported his dream. Great mid-western success story. I’d marry him tomorrow, just for companionship. He’d be a great partner.
