Anderson Cooper: Anchor, Blogger and Bestseller

Posted on June 16, 2006

Things are going well for CNN's anchor Anderson Cooper. He has his own show on CNN. His book about his experiences covering Hurricane Katrina and other disasters has hit #1 on the New York Times hardcover nonfiction bestseller list.

Anderson Cooper also just landed a big interview with Angelina Jolie that will air next Tuesday on CNN. You can be sure that quotes from this interview will find their way into thousands of "important" gossip blogs. Cooper's daily 360 blog is also popular. It receives dozens of comments each day and has nearly 800 inbound links according to Technorati. Not too shabby for a blog that debuted about five months ago.
