We should start a Daytime Confidential pool betting how long it will take for The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s NeNe Leakes to appear on Anderson Cooper’s new talk show Anderson, after it premieres this fall. 

In a report from Promax BDA, Ad Week addresses Cooper’s discussion with The Early Show’s Erica Hill about whether-or-not interviewing such reality stars during the daytime would undermine him at Anderson Cooper 360 on CNN or as a contributor to 60 Minutes on CBS.

Cooper, unsurprisingly, thinks that his reportorial reputation will remain untouched no matter how many reality stars he interviews during the day. “You can be very serious and very passionate about [serious news] and still like [Real Housewives of Atlanta star] NeNe Leakes,” he said. “People know that you can juggle different things.” READ MORE

Just a week after the Anderson Cooper vs. Lohan clan war over Ali Lohan, the youngest Lohan finds herself smack dab in the middle of another controversy and this time big sister Lindsay Lohan is coming to her defense.

In the latest issue of US Weekly, the magazine has an article about Ali's "overnight curves." After being caught on the street by photogs asking her  whether or not her younger sister had had a boob job an incensed Lindsay took to her Celebrity MySpace blog defending her sister.

It made me feel a bit sick to my stomach. My response simply was, 'Did you really just ask me that? She is a 14-year-old girl, and you are a pedophile!

All I am trying to say is that I was raised with a wonderful family surrounding me. Of course, we have our ups and downs, but all in all, my mother taught us to appreciate what we have been given. Nor would she ever encourage, or allow a 14-year-old child to alter her body. I am not judging people that do, but I am just saying that its not something that my family finds necessary to do, especially when you're not even fully developed yet!

Who knew having Anderson Cooper fill in for Regis Philbin on Live With Regis and Kelly with Kelly Ripa would or could turn into a full blown media slugfest?

Cooper, who regularily fills in for Philbin was visiting with Ripa about Ali Lohan's apiring "career" and made some comments about Ali and her mother Dina Lohan that could be considered less than complimentary by the Lohan clan. Never one to pass up the opportunity to talk to a celebrity mag, mamma lion Lohan fired back through Ok Magazine telling them that "People are just cruel! This is bad karma for him." To which Cooper responded on Anderson Cooper 360 (see above clip). READ MORE
