If Anderson Cooper had to do it all over again, his foray into daytime talk shows would have been more Live With Kelly and Michael from the start than a pale imitation of The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Cooper's show, Anderson Live! was canceled last fall during the early weeks of its second season. But since that time, it has found its groove with a live format and a rotating array of guest co-hosts including Andy Cohen, Kathy Griffin and Kristin Chenoweth.

Jodie Foster's coming out publicly during her speech at Golden Globe Awards had the entertainment industry buzzing Sunday with many celebrities, gay and straight, expressing support or sounding off.

'Aww Jodie foster, I would like to be your friend,' tweeted Tony Award winning actor Alan Cumming, an openly gay actor.

Gay television personality Andy Cohen, host of Bravo's Watch What Happens Live, tweeted: 'MAZEL JODIE!! incredible.'

Do you ever wonder what Donald Trump would sound like if he were hurling his many Twitter insults to such celebrities as Cher, Rosie O'Donnell and Star Jones verbally instead of typing them in 140 characters or less?

Wonder no more!

Bravo executive Andy Cohen, host of the network's Watch What Happens Live and the Real Housewives reunion specials, guested on The Wendy Williams Show and debuted a hilarious Trump impersonation.

Did you ever think you’d see the day when two openly gay men would be taking bites out of a giant gummy python snake on US broadcast television?

It happened this week on the daytime talk show Anderson Live! when host Anderson Cooper’s pal Andy Cohen guest hosted and the two opened a box that contained what is known as ‘The Party Python.’

'The Party Python? That's a foreign film,' Cooper joked after removing the 26-pound snake out of a box.

It can feed up to 300 people, costs $150 and if you eat the whole thing, you’ve ingested 136,000 calories.

A gay TV boss in the US has found himself in hot water after calling British boyband One Direction 'twinks'.

Bravo TV executive Andy Cohen used the gay sexual slang word to describe the pop group during an interview on NBC's Today program last night (13 November), boasting how he bumped into the five boys backstage.

He said: 'This morning, I went into the normal green room that we typically go into. I barged in, there are all these people in front of us. Oh, it's all the leftover One Direction fans.

Television personality Star Jones has angered Anderson Cooper with her allegation that he came out publicly as a gay man as a way to get ratings for his syndicated talk show Anderson Live.

Cooper, who also hosts a nightly show on CNN, shares with his daytime audience in a segment airing Thursday (4 October) that Jones is far off the mark.

'I will say and I actually haven't mentioned this, the only thing that did kind of annoy me and actually it annoyed my mom who brought it up to me, Star Jones of all people,' he says to guest Andy Cohen who is also openly gay.

Former US President Bill Clinton's lengthy speech at the Democratic National Convention Thursday (5 September) focused more on economic issues than social issues like gay marriage.

But plenty of LGBT celebrities took to the twitterverse after the speech to offer effusive praise of Clinton.

It used to be that when a major star came out as gay, they got an entire magazine cover to themselves.

Ellen DeGeneres got the Time cover, Lance Bass and Clay Aiken got People covers and Sean Hayes was among the many stars to have gotten an Advocate cover.

In the current issue of Entertainment Weekly which hit newsstands Friday (22 June), eight openly gay celebrities share the cover for a 'special report' called The New Art of Coming Out.

Don't expect to ever see Eddie Murphy as a guest on Bravo's Watch What Happen Live hosted by Andy Cohen.

In his new memoir, Most Talkative, the openly gay Cohen shares a traumatic experience he had in high school when he and his friends went to see Murphy in concert during his days on Saturday Night Live.

'Unfortunately, his live routine differed from his television shtick; namely in that it mostly consisted of ridiculing gay people,' Cohen writes. 'Every other word out of his mouth was 'faggot' and with each and every gay joke, the crowd went wild.'

Adam Lambert clearly hasn't forgiven Clay Aiken for the unkind things he had to say about him three years ago.

On Bravo's What What Happens Live Thursday (24 May), the season eight American Idol runner-up was asked to say three nice things about the man who was the runner-up during Idol's second season.

'Can't think of any,' he responded to host Andy Cohen.

Lambert was playing the show's Plead the Fifth game during which Cohen asks three provocative questions of his guests who have the option to 'plead the fifth' on all but one.

Out.com unveiled its annual Power 50 list of LGBT individuals on Thursday (26 April) and placed Apple CEO Tom Cook at the very top of it.

Cook was followed on the list by talk show host and comedienne Ellen DeGeneres. Rounding out the top five are venture capitalist and hedge find manager Peter Thiel, Glee creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy and MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.
