I pride myself on knowing lots of random crap trivia, and I'm just now finding out from wonkette that Anderson Cooper is the son of Gloria Vanderbilt. I feel so out of the loop! That is something else I could have added to my lambasts at the Channel One telecasts in high school. My friends and I were forced to watch Channel One in high school because the "network" had donated the TVs to the school. Anyway - even in high school I thought Anderson Cooper took his "journalism" a tad too seriously. Now to find out Gloria Vanderbilt is his mom? Wow.

Is Lisa Ling related to someone famous, too? What about Serena Altschul? Or Tevin Campbell? Oh wait - he was supposed to be famous himself.
