Snooki takes Anderson Cooper spray-tanning

After Anderson Cooper mocked Snooki’s New York Times best-selling novel this summer, the “Jersey Shore” star took the high road: She invited him, via Twitter, to go spray-tanning with her.

Well, technically she invited “Mista Anderstand Cooper.” Whoops – small Snooki typo.

Not only did Cooper take Snooks up on her offer, he also filmed their tanning date for the second episode of his talk show, “Anderson.”

With stickers on the soles of his feet (to prevent dark spots), and a hair net protecting his silver locks, Cooper awaited his very first spray tan. Snooki made the talk show host wait while she had her teeth whitened, but eventually joined him for moral support.

From the set of “Anderson,” a tanner Cooper asked Snooks what she thought of filming her MTV series in Florence, to which she responded: “Italy was different. I mean, you know, it’s another country, so it wasn’t like Jersey or the city.”

She also said the cobblestone proved to be hurdle.

“It sucked, like, walking in these heels.”

    Anderson Cooper is a member of one of the richest families in history. His mother is Gloria Vanderbilt so it come as no surprise that he is successful. A member of a rich family with lots of exposure in the media, what a concept! Too bad three out of four of you probably didn't know that.

    In the Golden Age of Feminism, I lived in a neighborhood with cobblestones. I was dating then, and would advise potential dates against heels. Not only would I be scolded for my efforts, new dates almost invariably wore heels – and broke them. Then they scolded me some more. It was kind of a test. If it went to the second date, something was right.

    Disappointment is what I feel. The only reason why I believe Anderson had Snooki as a guest is for ratings. But what quality of ratings? She claimed AC was too pale. That's a superficial statement. Does tanning make a person more acceptable? For her, iIt's all what looks good on the outside, not the quality of a person on a soul level. And AC you went with it, and for ratings? or are you as superficial as Snooki? I'm disappointed. Hope you wake up and give your audience for this show something to really learn from, have fun without thinking we have to change who we are. Good luck!

    Andreson Cooper is a wonderful and a very talented reporter. He is very smart and highly educated so if he decided to make a show (such as his new daytime program), he will do whatever it takes to do so. Notice, there is no advertisement of this show on any major networks or elsewhere, yet, we all are talking about him and his new show. He knows just what to do to get people talking and thus get attention to his new show. Andreson is quite a serious person and yet he is able to relax and get a spray tan with Snookie. I think that it is quite nice of him to even speak with her considering she is as dumb as a rock. Good luck to you Anderson in your new endeavors!

    Despite what you may think of Anderson he has put in enough time to be able to sit back and relax and have a little fun...For the people that say he is not crediable I think that is just jealousy as you may not have the intelligence or the personality to get to where he has gotten...

      Yes, but Anderson you are mistaken. I just watched the video from your website. Snooki didn't say "it's like another country" she said "it is". Yeah, she is an idiot, but not a constant idiot :) He's makin money off of her. American's got nothing better to talk about, cuz they avoid real life: the rest of the world.

      Well, maybe, but interviewing "Snookie", isn't helping his credentials in that area. Maybe you hit it on the head by saying "of our time". That restricts it to this era of idiotainment journalism. I would have a lot of trouble picturing Edward R. Murrow interviewing Snookie.

      "AC is the most awesome reporter" ??? Are you kidding me? Like he is all of the following: A geek; goofy as in the cartoon character; strange looking; and a true oddball in this universe!! On top of these, lately he and his "shtick" is so far from being normal that it's become a joke as in ridicules!!! He has taken the 10:00 period after the 9:00 PM Morgan show to new depths and got to the point where I have started to turn away completely not just from his show but also from others I use to enjoy viewing as in John King's show and even Morgan's too. Quite frankly if CNN wants to push their viewers to Fox and other stations keep employing this PUTS! CNN had a great line up at one time. Once Larry King went away and you allowed Cooper the freedom of becoming a freak show you lost me to the point where I may never tune in again or at least downsize my desire to come home and put on the TV on channel 32 (Central NJ Cable TV channel I receive CNN on). Total turn off. What can the CNN management have been thinking? Hello CNN, where are your brains. It's becoming trash TV as in tabloid journalism!!!! CNN blew it big time!!!!!

      I would say that is true about Anderson, so I don't know why he has stooped to this cheap, daytime trash show. Snooki?? Really?? What next? Now that he has a spray tan, maybe a big hyped up interviews with Paris Hilton on should men wear polka dots with plaid to a Beverly Hills club? Maybe a trailer trash hair pulling segment a la Jerry Springer? How low can he go???

Reporting facts and calling people on their lies? check, being imbedded in a warzone? check, reporting from areas of human crisis such as famine and genocide? check, reporting from disaster areas such as hurricane catrina? check. interviewing politicians and actually asking them hard questions? check. etc.

    And by the way this is a TALK SHOW, not a NEWS SHOW. theres AC 360, and then there is ANDERSON. Obviously you have never watched AC 360. Or you have and didnt understand english. dont know

And then he had his Planet in Peril show... and most of his programs feature only one expert along with a load of glitz. It would be nice to see a panel on different topics for a change....
