In between discussing the war in Afghanastan, nuclear weapons, and other weighty news topics, in his interview with CNN news guy, Anderson Cooper, Jay Leno manages to slip in a few questions about American Idol.

Idol fan, Cooper, thinks Adam Lambert will win Idol, Simon Cowell is his favorite judge, and he often fast-forwards through Paula Abdul’s critiques…

    Anderson Cooper is also gay
    but in the closet. And so I think
    this may be a good show that
    the mature gay male population
    is stick with Adam.

    Yeah!

    go anderson! so many celebs getting on the adam train! has anyone seen the youtube of simon at ellen this week?….i cant seem to find it yet, but he picked adam and said he was in the bottom 3 based on the stairs lol

  • cay

    Simon said that anyone could win. He’d give the win to Adam, but he also said that Allison was special and that she could win if she showed her personality (again blah). I think the staircase remark was tongue and cheek. He’s said before that the American Public might not give Adam the win even though Adam has the most potential. (due to sexuality, flamboyance, camp) Same thing TMZ Harvey says and most media. Adam’s not exactly Idol material, but no matter he has a great opportunity ahead.

    That’s great that Anderson said that. He was asked early on and he named a few favs and Adam was not one at that point.

    edit: he didn’t say that. don’t put words in posters mouths

    Oh I love AC bit have to disagree on Paula. She represents me and people like me on the show. Swooning, illogical, incoherent music fans.

    Smart guy….

  • AmandaRae2512

    This isn’t exactly news. Everyone seems to think and know that Adam will win. Even those of us who don’t think he should win. The pimp machine will make sure he wins. His gayness has nothing to do with my thinking he shouldn’t win though, just to clarify. I just think he’s a very self-indulgent performer who belongs in Vegas. All the glitz and glamour screams inauthentic to me. Kris and Allison, on the other hand, well either of them would make the best winner IMO.

  • outofsorts

    I liked Allison a lot at first, but it soon became clear that she has no feel for phrasing, and week after week, no improvement. Chop, chop, chop … she’s choppin’ broc-co-leeeeee…

  • sauer1

    I don’t really know about this guy. How dumb am I. Just a reminder guys, power vote for ADAM tonight. As you can hear from some bloggers, they are obviously not going for Adam and he is so not safe right now!!

  • AmandaRae2512

    Oh Adam’s safer than anything right now with his rabid powervoting fanbase, especially after last week’s B2 appearance.

  • sweetie99v

    I hope Adam is safe, but I take nothing for granted with this show. I think we sometimes forget its a TV reality show. How much of it is actually real and how much of it is produced is still a mystery. All this shows (to me at least) that this year continues to be the Adam Lambert show whether he wins or not.

  • thesheriff

    Wow, religion, sexuality, ass-shop quartets…when can we talk about who they voted for in the election and why?

    ohhh Anderson, not a waste of time at all following your show all these years! You have eyes for talent LOL :happy_tb:
    I actually am a fan of Jay Leno too. Wonder who he thinks should win. Anyone know if he ever said anything about his favorite?

  • Suzanne

    Hey–don’t miss the first second of this clip–he picks Kris or Adam, but then when pushed to pick, goes with Adam. So–Anderson likes Kris too. Yay.

  • sleepyinsomniac

    Love Anderson Cooper. Love the fact that he can discuss both the current state of politics and the current state of American Idol intelligently.

  • sweetie99v

    Heyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t miss the first second of this clipà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’he picks Kris or Adam, but then when pushed to pick, goes with Adam. Soà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’Anderson likes Kris too. Yay.

    Of course. Kris and Adam should be the final 2. :)

  • competitivebynature

    I love Anderson Cooper. At least he had the sense to add Kris in there as the top 2. So glad he is not a fan of Hokey Gokey

  • Tess

    Some guys look so pompous in suits…not Anderson and Jay, though. And on serious relection, Adam and Kris really kill in a suit….Danny, not so much.

  • http://dcmjlive.wordpress.com dcmjlive

    I think Anderson chose the correct final two. It really should be Kris and Adam! I do hope the rumors are true and that Kradam perform Under Pressure.

    Well, in all fairness, I think Anderson chose Adam to conform to the crowd but it is obvious that he likes both Kris and Adam to win.

  • steve

    I think people miss what the should be thinking.Why this big push for adam on the talk shows.Was he that close to matt in votes last week?
    Why do they call (allison)the little girl or just girl.Damn that pisses me off.

  • bjesgirl

    I love Anderson. Everyone I know loves Anderson.

    Oh, and I disagree with him. Completely.
    Pauler > Simon
    Kris + Allison + Danny >>>>> Adam

    But I don’t care. I still luuurve Anderson.

  • http://twitter.com/nokking nokking

    Hey Kris and Adam are my fav and my picks from beginning, so all is good :clap_tb:

    And Under Pressure is one of my fav song. If it is true, my iPod will be on play repeat for this song for the next while!

    So….can we call Cooper ‘Andadam’ now?

  • sweetie99v

    Why do they call (allison)the little girl or just girl.Damn that pisses me off.

    Probably because she’s a small teenager. I’m a 5’1″ 28 year old and I still get girl/little girl cause of my height.

    Regarding Adam, he’s always been the most talk about contestant. Maybe its more noticable since we’re down to only 4. But he always comes up.

  • Chipmunk

    Why do they call (allison)the little girl or just girl

    Because she is a little girl, although to me she looks like she’s 30

  • Doogs

    Hmm, Anderson loves Adam. I’m shocked! In similar news, Rick Warren loves Danny! :)

  • Cakenbake

    Anderson also PICKED Kris Allen.

    Anderson said about Kris “the guy who bites his lip”. Interesting that Anderson notices Kris’s cute habit.

    Anderson also said he wants Danny Gokey to go home.

    lol
